1.2 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE (FCC PART 15)
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not
installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to radio and television
reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
4
limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide

avoid electric shock, use caution when near WAN ports.
When detaching the cables, detach the end away from
the device first.
• Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect
cables during periods of lightning activity.
In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE), ensure that at end-of-life you separate this product from other waste and scrap and deliver
to the WEEE collection system in your country for recycling.
WARNING
WARNING
This device is NOT intended nor approved for connection to the PSTN. It is intended only for connection to
customer premise equipment.

2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Electronics Model 2157R Ruggedized CopperLink Ethernet
Extender provides high-speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PCs, or any other network enabled 10/100Base-T
device.
Operating in pairs, one Model 2157R or 2157 can automatically forward
LAN broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2-wire voice-grade
twisted-pair link. The data is passed transparently (unmodified) through
the Ethernet Extenders. They automatically add and delete MAC
addresses, only passing packets across the CopperLink line that are
meant for the remote peered LAN.

Figure 1.
Typical application
The 2157/L and 2157/R work together to create a transparent extension
between two peered Ethernet LANs. Figure 1 shows a typical point-topoint application.

3.0 INSTALLATION
The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for
external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-
CAUTION
perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
Because the CopperLink Ethernet Extenders require no configuration, they
can be installed quickly. Installation consists of the following:
• Connect the line interface between the units (refer to section 3.1,
“Connecting the Twisted-Pair Line Interface” on page 10)
Note
See Figure 2 for the rear-panel connectors locations.
• Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to section 3.2, “Line Interface—
Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface” on page 11).
• Connect the power plug (refer to section 3.3, “Connecting Power” on
page 12).

3.1 CONNECTING THE TWISTED-PAIR LINE INTERFACE
The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for
external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-
CAUTION
perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
The Model 2157R supports communication between two peer Ethernet
LAN sites over a distance greater than 30,000 ft (9,144 m) over 24 AWG
(0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire.
Note
The Model 2157R uses an auto-rate adaption feature to provide
the fastest data rate possible over the wire and distance of each
Ethernet extension. The actual distance and rate achieved for
Ethernet extension may vary depending on the environment and
type/gauge of the wire used.
Follow the steps below to connect the CopperLink interfaces.
Note
The Model 2157R units work in pairs. One of the units must be
configured as a (L) Local unit, and the other unit must be configured as a (R) Remote unit. It does not matter which end is the L
and which is the R. The link is always initiated by the R unit. As
long as the L unit is powered on, the R unit can establish a link
by being powered on or by having its power reset.
1. To function properly, the two Ethernet Extenders must be connected
together using twisted-pair, unconditioned, dry, metal wire, between
19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through
signal equalization equipment are not acceptable.
2. The Model 2157R is equipped with an RJ-11 interface. The Copper-
Link interfaces are a two-wire interface. Observe the signal/pin relationships on the CopperLink interface jack.
The RJ-11 connector on the CopperLink Ethernet Extender’s twisted pair
interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The
signal/pin relationship is shown in Figure 3.

ETHERNET INTERFACE
The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for
external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-
CAUTION
perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
The shielded RJ-45 port labeled
Ethernet
is the 10/100Base-T interface.
This port is designed to connect directly to a 10/100Base-T network.
Figure 4 shows the signal/pin relationships on this interface. You may
connect this port to another Ethernet device via a Type 4 or Type 5 cable
that is up to 328 ft (100 m) long.
Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Port to a Hub or PC
The Model 2157R is equipped with an MDI-X switch that enables connections to a hub (DCE) or PC (DTE) interface, thereby elimininating
confusion over whether a straight-through or crossover cable is needed.
When using a straight-through cable for connecting to a hub, the MDI-X
switch should be in its released (DCE mode) position (see Figure 5).
When connecting to a PC, the MDI-X switch should be pushed in to
engage the crossover function so you won’t have to use a crossover cable

Note
If you have difficulty achieving a working connection between
the CopperLink Ethernet Extender’s Ethernet port and the hub
or PC, change the position of the MDI-X switch and try again.

In its released position, the MDI-X switch enables straight-through connections (see Figure 6) or in its inserted position the MDI-X switch performs the crossover function (see Figure 7 on page 12).

The Model 2157R does not have a power switch, so it powers up as soon
as it is plugged in.
An external AC or DC power supply is available separately. This connection is made via the barrel jack on the rear panel of the Model 2157R. No
configuration is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B on
page 19 for domestic and international power supply and cord options).
