This manual covers the EE2CL series. These units make it possible to upgrade
installed analogue cameras to high-quality digital IP cameras without the
expense of replacing existing coaxial cabling. Units are available in an extended
temperature range, compact wall-mount format that fits inside most camera
housings and can also be mounted into a 19” rack unit.
1.1.1 EE2CL
The KBC EE2CL series is a 10/100, IEEE 802.3 af/at PoE compliant, Ethernet line
driver providing excellent repeatable performance for today’s CCTV systems. The
line driver provides connectivity for up to four, 10/100Mbps IEEE standard twisted
pair copper port over a 75 Ω coaxial cable interface allowing new IP technology to
pass over existing legacy cable up to a distance of 1.5km
Play’ and are automatically configured for straight forward installation. Maximum
data rates of up to 100Mbps are achievable.

• Choose a Master EE2CL unit; this can be any of the units purchased.
• Connect the 48Vdc power supply to the Master EE2CL unit.
• Check that the blue LEDs on both EE2CL units are lit.
Connecting the EE2CL to the camera
• Mount the EE2CL near to the IP camera.
• Connect an RJ45 cable between the camera and the RJ45 connector on the
EE2CL unit.
• Connect the coaxial cable to the BNC connector on the EE2CL unit.
• If multiple camera units connect to a single Master unit then the 1:4 BNC
Splitter Adaptor or BNC-T adapter will be required.
Note: Depending on power requirements and cable distances power for both the Master
and Slave EE2CL units and the IP cameras can be supplied from the PSU located at the
Master EE2CL unit. For high power or long distance systems, multiple PSU units will be
required; see Section 2.6.
Connecting the Master EE2CL unit at the Control Room
• Mount the Master EE2CL unit in the Control Room.
• Connect the coaxial cable to the BNC connector on the EE2CL unit.
• Connect the supplied 48Vdc PSU to the EE2CL unit
• Connect the RJ45 cable from the EE2CL unit to the Control Room
equipment.
• The green LEDs will light when a network link is established and flash to
show when data traffic is being passed.
See section 2.7 for LED status.
Note:
If two or more Master EE2CL units are connected to the same switch within a
network, the units will need to be ‘joined’ to each other. You will need a small paperclip partially straightened to join EE2CL units; this is provided with the unit.
• Choose an EE2CL unit (unit ‘A’); this can be any of the units purchased.
• Using a coaxial jumper lead, connect the chosen EE2CL unit (unit ‘A’) to one
of the other units (unit ‘B’) by attaching one EE2CL unit to each end of the
coaxial cable.
• Connect the 48Vdc power supply to the EE2CL unit ‘A’.
• Check that the blue LEDs on both EE2CL units are lit.
• Wait 20 seconds. Check that the green BNC LEDs on both EE2CL are ‘off’.
Note: If either of the green BNC LEDs remains ‘on’ then that unit has already been
‘joined’ to another EE2CL unit in a different group and will need to be ‘un-joined’ before
being ‘joined’ to the new unit. See the ‘un-joining’ instructions below.
• On the EE2CL unit ‘A’ (which is connected to the PSU) use the straightened
paper-clip to depress the push button for 2 seconds. This button can be
found slightly above the PoE LED.
• The blue Power LED will flash.
• Depress the same push-button on the EE2CL unit ‘B’ for 2 seconds.
• Wait for 10 seconds. The two units will now try to establish an encrypted
communication.
• Once the blue Power LEDs return to a steady condition the units have been
joined.
• If more EE2CL units need to be ‘joined’, disconnect EE2CL unit ‘B’ from
EE2CL unit ‘A’. Connect the new ‘un-joined’ EE2CL unit ‘C’ to EE2CL unit ‘A’.
• Repeat the joining instructions until all units in the group are ‘joined’ to the
EE2CL unit ‘A’.
Un-joining EE2CL units
• Disconnect the EE2CL unit from the old network.
• Connect a 48vdc PSU to the unit.
• Wait until the green BNC LED lights.
• Using the straightened paper-clip press the small push-button located
behind and slightly above the RJ45 LED.
• Wait until the blue LED turns off.
• Release the paper-clip.
• The green BNC and RJ45 LEDs will flash and then turn off.
• The green BNC LED will then switch on for 10 seconds and then switch off.
Connect the unit’s BNC socket to the coaxial cable. When a physical link over coaxial
cable is established and the units are powered up, the green BNC LED will light to show
that the unit has detected another unit and then flash to indicate there is link activity.
See section 2.7 for complete details of LED status.
2.5 Ethernet Cable Connection
The RJ45 port is adaptive and supports auto MDI/MDI-X connection. It can be connected
by straight through or cross-over type Cat5 or Cat 6 cables. The green RJ45 LED will
light to indicate a link connection and flash to show when data traffic is being passed.
See section 2.7 for complete details of LED status.
2.6 Power Connections
This EE2CL unit must be powered by the +48Vdc, 1.25A PoE power supply, this is
supplied with the unit and is connected using a 2.1mm barrel connector.
Note:For higher power or longer distance applications please contact KBC Networks.
Depending on power requirements and cable distances, power for both the Master and
Slave EE2CL units and the IP cameras can be supplied from the PSU located at the
Master EE2CL unit.
When the device is powered on, the blue Power LEDs will light to indicate the
presence of power. If the power LEDs flash then the power supply is cycling on and
off due to overload conditions please check to see whether there are any of the
following:
• Wiring faults
• Excessive loading
If the BNC LED does not light after a wire is connected between two EE2CL units
please check the following:
• Verify that the cable connecting the two units is not greater than 1500m in
length
If the PoE LED does not light after a cable is connected to the port please check the
following:
• Verify that the cable being used is Cat5, 5e or 6
• Check that the power to both the EE2CL and the connected device are
switched on
• Check that all cables are firmly seated
• Check that the power adaptors are all functioning
If there is no video being passed through the system, please check that you are
using a managed Ethernet switch. The EE2CL unit will block unknown multicast
packets and hence the video will be blocked. IGMP is required for a properly
configured multi-cast network.
