Vi2304 / Vi2308 / Vi2316 UTP Ethernet Extender’s Installation Manual

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

The MaxiiCopper Model Vi2304, Vi2308 and Vi2316 hubs are revolutionary
data transmission devices that extend full-duplex High-Speed Ethernet over
existing or new UTP infrastructures. They extend 10BaseT signals up to
3,000 ft. (909M), 100BaseT up to 2,100 ft. (640m) for 802.3 af and 800 ft.
(242m) for 802.3 at. They employ MaxiiCopper, an innovative and unique
Ethernet extension technology, that is designed to take full advantage of
high-bandwidth UTP cables and maintain a full-duplex 10 or 100 Mb/s
Ethernet connection up to the maximum range with minimum transmission
error and latency. Multiple remote network devices such as Mega-pixel IP
cameras or VoIP can be connected to a central LAN switching fabric with
ease. Their dual-rate capability provides an easy way to balance the best
possible network throughput and long-reach distance design. The Vi2304,
Vi2308 and Vi2316 support 4, 8 and 16 ports. 1 pair can be used for both
10BaseT and 100BaseT signals. 4 Pair is restricted to 100BaseT use.

These hubs need to be deployed along with Vi2301 on the remote end of
each UTP cable. They are equipped with LEDs to provide link status and
configured data rate for each port. They are completely transparent to the
corporate IP network and higher layer protocols and require no IP program­ming or other configurations.

The Vi2308 and Vi2316 are offered in 19 inch 1U height enclosure for
rack-mount or wall-mount applications. They are ideal for medium to large
scale IT networking or digital CCTV projects. The UTP cable needs to be
point to point without any branches.

Important Safety Warning

- Read and 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 UTP 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 temperature exceeds 75°C.

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

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

- Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at power source,
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 when a power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled, objects have fallen inside the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

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

IP Camera-end Installation

- Use a Vi2301 single port extender for the camera side transmission.

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

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

- Connect the external 12VDC power supply to the power connector of the
Vi2301. An optional power adapter connector can be provided to simplify
connection. If no local power supply is present the Vi2301 will use POE.

- Connect the IP camera’s RJ45 connector to the 10/100BaseT Ethernet
port of Vi2301 using a standard Cat5/6 patch cable of maximum 330 feet
(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 10/100 BaseT dip switch of each port to match the setting on the
remote Vi2301 at the camera-end.

- Set the 1-pair/4-pair dip switch of each port to match the setting on the
remote Vi2301 at the camera-end.

- Connect the chassis ground screw to a solid earth ground.

- Connect the RJ45 connector of the Ethernet switch to the 10/100BaseT
Ethernet port of Vi2304/Vi2308/Vi2316 using a standard Cat5/6 cable
of maximum 100 m in length.

- Connect long UTP cables to the RJ45 connectors of the extender hub.

- Connect the 12V power supply to the power connector of the extender hub.

The link LED on the 10/100 Ethernet connectors should be “ON” to indicate
proper connection between the switch and Ethernet ports of
Vi2304/Vi2308/Vi2316. While the Link LED, Orange for 100BaseT and
Green for 10BaseT, on the extended side, in a steady state will indicate
confirmed connection between extenders.
