MaxiiCopper Vi2301, Vi2301A Installation Manual

Vi2301 Ethernet Extender over UTP Installation Manual

The MaxiiCopper Model Vi2301 is a revolutionary data transmission device
that extends full-duplex High-Speed Ethernet over existing UTP infrastruc­tures. It extends 10BaseT signals up to 3,000 ft (914 m), 100BaseT up to
2,100 ft (640m) for 802.3 af and 800 ft (242m) for 802.3 at. It employs
MaxiiCopper innovative and unique Ethernet extension technology that is
designed to take full advantage of high-bandwidth networking cables and
maintain a full-duplex 10 or 100 Mb/s Ethernet connection up to the
maximum range with minimum transmission error and latency.

WARNING! - To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
this apparatus to rain or moisture. This apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall
be placed on the apparatus.

WARNING! - This apparatus is a Class I product. This product must
be connected to a mains socket outlet through an AC to DC Power supply.

Ethernet Extenders

The Vi2301 can connect multiple remote network devices such as Mega­pixel IP cameras or VoIP to a central LAN switching fabric with ease. Its
dual-rate capability feature provides an easy way to balance the best
possible network throughput and long-reach distance design.

The Vi2301 is a transceiver device and it needs to be deployed on both
ends of the UTP cable as master and slave devices respectfully via setting a
dip switch. A second dip switch sets the data rate between the remote and
central locations. It is equipped with LEDs to provide link status and
configured data rate. No IP setting or configurations are required and it is
completely transparent to the corporate IP network and higher layer
protocols. The UTP cable needs to be point to point without any branches.
Multiple segments can be joined together using UTP couplers.

Important Safety Warning

- Read these instructions.

- Keep these instructions.

- Heed all warnings.

- Follow all instructions.

- Do not use this apparatus near water.

- Clean only with a dry cloth.

- Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

- This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should
conform to all local codes.

- DO NOT bundle UTP or Coax signals in the same conduit as high-voltage
wiring.

- To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose these products
to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing.

- No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on Vigitron
equipment.

- DO NOT install the unit in a place where the operating ambient tempera
ture exceeds 75° C.

- Make sure that the external power supply output voltage is in the recom
mended range.

- Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves or other apparatus (including DVRs) that produce heat.

- Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.

- Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

- Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.

- Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as a power
supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

- The mains plug is used as the disconnect device and shall remain readily
operable.

WARNING! - The mains plug is used as the disconnect device and
shall remain readily operable.

- Set S1 (10/100 BaseT) dip switch of Vi2301 to the appropriate rate based
on the required maximum data rate and maximum distance.

- Set S2 (Master/Slave) dip switch to “Master” mode.

- Set S3 (1/4 pair) dip switch ON for 1-pair and OFF for 4-pair operation.

- Connect the IP camera RJ45 connector to the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port
of Vi2301 using a standard Cat5/6 cable of maximum 100 m in length.

- Connect one end of the long UTP cable to the RJ45 connector of Vi2301.

The link LED on the 10/100 connector should be “ON” to indicate proper
connection between the camera and Vi2301.

Ethernet Switch/NVR-end Installation

- Set the S2 Master/Slave dip switch of Vi2301 to “Slave” mode.

- Set S1 and S3 the same as the camera-end setting.

- Connect the RJ45 connector of the Ethernet switch to the 10/100BaseT
Ethernet port of Vi2301 using a standard Cat5/6 cable of maximum 100 m
in length.

- Connect one end of the long UTP cable to the RJ-45 connector of Vi2301.

The link LED on the 10/100 Ethernet connector should be “ON” to indicate
proper connection between the switch and Vi2301. While the Link LED,

Orange for 100BaseT and Green for 10BaseT, in a steady state will
indicate confirmed connection between extenders.

Ethernet Switch/NVR-end Installation (Cont.)

- If the Vi2301 recieves power using POE, make certain the power adapter
is not connected.

- If a PSE source such as a POE network switch is not available, external
power must be provided to the Vi2301

CAUTION:

- If the external power adaptor is connected with no power applied, the
Vi2301 will not reference to a PoE source and the system will be
inoperative

- If PoE is used as the main camera power source and power is lost, power
applied to the Vi2301 may have to be recycled.

- 4-pair is not valid for 10 BaseT PoE.

-802.3 at requires PSE operation in forced mode.
