The CLEER (Coax Leveraged Ethernet Extended Reach) family of data switches
delivers Ethernet and Power over Ethernet over Coax cable with multiple times
the reach of traditional data switches. With the CLEER24 switch customers can
transform their existing Coax infrastructure for IP device deployment.

CLEER24 kan installeras på valfri plats inomhus i samtliga länder utom Finland,
Norge och Sverige; i dessa nordiska länder måste den installeras på en plats
med begränsad åtkomst.
CLEER24 kan installeres innendørs i alle land unntatt Finland, Norge og Sverge.
I disse tre nordiske landene må den installeres på et sted med begrenset
tilgang.
Space Requirements:
1. Select a standard 19" equipment rack or, for a standalone installation, a flat, stable surface capable of supporting the size and weight of the CLEER24, its
installable components and cabling.
2. Ensure that you have enough rack space for all equipment. Shelves and rear supporting brackets are not mandatory.
Location Requirements:Power - The CLEER24 switch must be placed within 6 feet of an available power source. Do not use an extension cord to connect the equipment to a power
outlet.
Ventilation - To ensure proper ventilation of the CLEER24, leave at least 2 inches of unobstructed space on all sides of the unit. If the fans are blocked, the unit
could overheat.
Downlink – The EC-Link adapters should be installed a minimum of 6 feet away from the CLEER24 switch.
Installation procedures will be trouble‐free if you ensure that the following items are available before you begin:
• The CLEER24 switch, all cables and accessories you received in the CLEER package.
• All EC-Link required for connecting the IP endpoint devices, provided with the product package according to the quantity ordered.
• SFP transceiver modules for the Gbic uplink trunks if connecting over fiber.
• Fiber optic LAN cables for the Gbic uplink trunks (user-supplied) if connecting over fiber.
• Standard CAT5e copper LAN cables for the GbE uplink trunks (user‐supplied).
• Coax cable for the downlink ports (user-supplied).
• Serial console cable for the CONSOLE port, provided with the product package.
• Standard CAT5e copper LAN cable for the MGMT port (optional). Only needed if out-of-band management is required (user‐supplied).
HARDWARE TOPOLOGY AND INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
1. Remove the CLEER24 switch and all accompanying accessories.
2. Install the rackmount brackets for rack mounting. Unit fits in standard 19” racks.
3. Install the protective grounding conductor (please refer to the System Grounding
section of this guide).
4. Remove all legacy cameras or phones from the Coax cable.
Note: It is extremely important that non-IP, non-PoE cameras are not connected
when you power on the CLEER24.
5. Connect EC-Link to the Network jack on the IP endpoint and connect the BNC
Jack on the EC-Link to the Coax cable.
6. Connect the Coax cable to BNC connectors on the CLEER24 switch.
or Server
7. Connect the uplink cable from a Gigabit port to the NVR or network switch.
Note: This connection also permits in-band management over Ethernet when
bridged mode is disabled (non-default setting).
8. For power share, daisy chain CLEER24 switches using DC cables (see below).
9. Power up the CLEER24.
10. To revert back to factory defaults, hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds.
Note: In band management will be enabled after a factory reset. This can be
disabled using the pal-set-bridged outband command.

The Most Robust PoE Capabilities
on the Market
Four switches can be stacked together for power
sharing, load balancing and power redundancy. The
CLEER24 switch comes standard with PowerWISE
technology.
CLEER24 switches come standard with a hot swappable PowerWise power supply for power/load sharing. The switch will support either an AC or DC power
source.
The switches are amongst the lowest power consuming switches in the industry.
For a redundant power configuration, daisy-chain multiple CLEER24 switches:
You can connect up to a maximum of 4 units for power/load sharing.
• Mount all CLEER24 switches in the same equipment rack, with no more than 1U space
between any two units.
Note: You can daisy-chain the units together while they are up and running or power them up
afterward.
• Facing the rear of the units, install the DC cables (available through NVT Phybridge) as follows:
Note: To fit properly, the DC cable must be inserted into the DC input/output connector with
its hairpin clip on top.
• For the top unit, insert the first cable into the DC input connector on the left until it clicks into
place. Bring the other end of the cable down to the next unit, and connect to the DC output
connector on the right.
• Continue in the same way for each pair of units, connecting the DC input (left) connector on
the upper unit to the DC output (right) connector on the lower unit.
Important: For the bottom unit, the last cable from the DC input (left) connector goes up to
the DC output (right) connector on the top unit. This is required to create a fully redundant
ring.
Note: If you need to move a cable to to a different DC connector on the CLEER24, press the
hairpin clip at the top of the DC cable and pull the cable out.
CONFIGURING THE CLEER24 (2 METHODS)
