This quick start guide describes how to install and use the Hardened
Ethernet Extender. This is the Hardened Ethernet Extender of choice for
harsh environments constrained by space.
Installation
ED3538T (Transmitter): This is a PoL (Power over Link) transmitter. Data and power
can be delivered at the same time through one pair copper wire to turn on and
communicate with ED3538R (Receiver) via RJ-11 phone jack or 2-pin Terminal Block
interface.
ED3538R (Receiver): This is a PoL (Power over Link) Receiver. ED3538R (Receiver)
can be powered either by ED3538T (Transmitter) through one pair copper wire or power
supply. The Ethernet port supports IEEE802.3at PoE/PSE for fulfilling PoE/PD
application.
<Warning>
Removes the device power before installation.
Removes the device power before any I/O and DIP switch configuration.
Do not connect ED3538T and ED3538R to the same power source. Devices
may be damaged due to power loop back through the PoL linked via copper
wire.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Enable Installation
Ensures all power sources are disconnected from ED3538T and ED3538R.
Ensures ED3538T PoL (Power over Link) DIP switch is in On posi tion (Up po sition) .
Sets ED3538T Type DIP switch to Perf (Performance, Up posi tion) to acquire better
Line Speed (but poor noise immunity). Or sets Type DIP switch of ED3538T to Std
(Standard, Down position) to acquire standard Line Speed (but better noise
immunity).
Checks if ED3538R Mode is set to Rmt on DIP switch (Remote, Up position).
Connects one end of the one pair copper wire to RJ-11 phone jack or 2-pin
Terminal Block interface of the ED3538T and the other end to RJ-11 phone jack or
2-pin Terminal Block interface of the ED3538R.
Connects power source to ED3538T.
Data and power can be delivered from ED3538T, and at the same time through one
pair copper wire to turn on and communicate with ED3538R.
<Note> The equipment is designed for building installation and not intended to be
connected to exposed (outside plant) networks including campus environment or
equivalent.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Disable Installation
For longer distance (e.g. over 1.4km) extension application, ED3538R may not be
able to receive power from ED3538T. A separate power may be applied on
ED3538R.
Ensures all power sources are disconnected from ED3538T and ED3538R.
Ensures ED3538T PoL (Power over Link) DIP switch is in Off position (Down
position).
Sets ED3538T Type DIP switch to Perf (Performance, Up posi tion) to acquire better
Line Speed (but poor noise immunity). Or sets Type DIP switch of ED3538T to Std

One-Channel Hardened Ethernet Extender
Ports
The Hardened Ethernet Extender provides TX ports and one Ethernet
Extender port.
For the TX ports, it uses RJ-45 connector and auto senses the speed of
10/100Mbps.
For the Ethernet Extender port, it uses RJ-11 and Terminal Block
connectors and auto senses the speed of Link (below
20)/20/40/60/80/100Mbps.
Ethernet Extender Mode Settings
Ethernet Extender mode settings are made very simple by means of a DIP
(Dual Inline Package) switch on the top panel of the Hardened Ethernet
Extender.

Installation
This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Hardened
Ethernet Extender.
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will
not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic
interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following
requirements:
The Surrounding Air temperature should be between -40 to 75 degrees Celsius.
The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC)
standards.
Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the
ventilation holes of the equipment.
The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.
DIN Rail Mounting
Fix the DIN rail attachment plate to the back panel of the Hardened
Ethernet Extender.
Installation: 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.
Removal: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the Hardened Ethernet
Extender from the DIN rail.

Connecting to Power
Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs or 48VDC DC Jack:
Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs
There are two pairs of power inputs can be used to power up this device.
You only need to have one power input connected to run the Hardened
Ethernet Extender.
Step 1: Connect the DC power cord to the plug-able terminal block on the Hardened
Ethernet Extender, and then plug it into a standard DC outlet.
Step 2: Disconnect the power cord if you want to shut down the Hardened Ethernet
Extender.
48VDC DC Jack
Step 1: Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle on the topside
of the Hardened Ethernet Extender.
Step 2: Connect the power cord to the AC to DC power adapter and attach the plug into
a standard AC outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.
