10/100Base-TX Hardened Ethernet Extender

Quick Start Guide

This quick start guide describes how to install and use the Hardened Ethernet
Extender. The Hardened Ethernet Extender introduced here provides one
channel for Ethernet over existing coaxial cable. This is the Hardened
Ethernet Extender of choice for harsh environments constrained by space.

• DC Terminal Block Power Inputs: There are two pairs of power inputs
can be used to power up this Ethernet Extender. Redundant power
supplies function is supported. You only need to have one power input
connected to run the Ethernet Extender.

Ethernet Extender Mode Settings

Ethernet Extender mode settings are made very simple by means of a switch
at the top panel of the Ethernet Extender. The switch has two positions for
Ethernet Extender mode settings. Refer to the table below for more details.
One device must be set to Loc and the other to Rmt when two devices are
connected.

The device operates in local mode The device operates in remote mode

Self-diagnostic Test Procedure

• Two Hardened Ethernet Extenders are connected in pairs by BNC
connectors over coaxial cable.

• One Hardened Ethernet Extender is configured as local unit located at
local site of Ethernet extension by setting mode switch at top panel of this
Hardened Ethernet Extender to Loc (local mode).

• The other Hardened Ethernet Extender is configured as remote unit
located at remote site of Ethernet extension by setting mode switch at top
panel of this Hardened Ethernet Extender to Rmt (remote mode).

• Connect supplied power supplies to Terminal Block or DC Jack power
input on top panel of these two Hardened Ethernet Extenders to power
on these two Hardened Ethernet Extenders.

• LED 5 on front panel of these two Hardened Ethernet Extenders might
light on in amber or green color if these two Hardened Ethernet
Extenders are connected in pairs by BNC connectors over a short coaxial
cable (less than 200 meters). This means that these two Hardened

Ethernet Extenders could operate in normal condition since they finally
negotiate a best performance for symmetrical transmission.

Assembly, Startup, and Dismantling

• Assembly: Place the Hardened Ethernet Extender on the DIN rail from
above using the slot. Push the front of the Hardened Ethernet Extender
toward the mounting surface until it audibly snaps into place.

• Startup: Connect the supply voltage to start up the Hardened Ethernet
Extender via the terminal block (or DC JACK).

• Dismantling: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the Hardened
Ethernet Extender from the DIN rail.
