(3) Installation

3.1 General

All OT Systems products are thoroughly inspected, tested and securely packaged before
delivery to ensure a stable, intact and trouble-free service. Please check the equipment upon
receipt for any visible damage which may have been caused during shipping.

3.2 Package Contents

When you unpack the product package, you shall find the items listed below. Please inspect
the contents, and report any apparent damage or missing items immediately to your authorized
reseller.

 Ethernet Extender
 Quick Installation Guide
 Wall-mounting kit or DIN-rail mounting

The ET1100C Series (Fig. 3.1) can be either horizontally or vertically wall-mounted, or
mounted on any fixture, etc. It works with an external 12VDC power supply which can be
purchased separately.

3.3 Selecting a site for the Ethernet Extender

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 ambient temperature should be between -10 to 60 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 on each side of the equipment.

- The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.

3.4 Installation

This chapter gives step-by-step instructions about how to install the Ethernet Extender:

The Microtype works with the provided external power supply (12VDC) powered by local 110/220V
power.

a) Mount the clip (Fig. 3.2) onto a fixture, e.g. a plank, (either on the wall or on a flat surface)
with two screws through the holes on the mounting frame to secure it in position.

(a) Front view (b) Side view

Fig. 3.2 Micro unit’s clip

b) The provided power supply should also be mounted on the same fixture or in the proximity
for connection of the supply cables to the unit, provided that an AC power supply socket is nearby
for powering the adaptor.
c) Push the Micro unit into the clip to secure it in position. For details, please follow Fig. 3.3.

d) Connect all the signal inputs and outputs at the back of the unit with appropriate cables:
i) Coaxial Cable
ii) UTP cable with RJ45
e) Once the unit is powered up, check that the red POWER LED on the unit is lit. If not, check
the power supply cable connections between the unit and the power supply socket.
f) With all the signals available at the input and output ports, check the status of LEDs located
on the unit. With correct status of each LED, installation is now completed [for LEDs status, see

Operational Guides on this manual’s section (5)].

4.2 Connecting to Your Network
Cable Type & Length

It is necessary to follow the cable specifications below when connecting the Ethernet
Extender to your network. Use appropriate cables that meet your speed and cabling
requirements.

Cable Specifications

4.2.1 The 10/100Base-TX Connector

A standard straight through cable is used for the connection between the Ethernet switch and
device. For the details, Please see Appendix A for your reference.

4.2.2 The BNC connector and Coaxial Cable

For the Ethernet Extender port

4.3 Cabling

Step 1: First, ensure the power of the Ethernet Extender and end devices are turned off.
<Note> Always ensure that the power is off before any installation.
Step 2: Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port in use.
Step 3: Consult the previous section for cabling requirements based on connectors and speed.
Step 4: Connect one end of the cable to the Ethernet Extender and the other end to a desired device.
Step 5: Once the connections between two end devices are made successfully, turn on the power and the
Ethernet Extender is operational.
