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
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
reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installa­tion. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If the equipment causes interference to radio or

4

television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the
cables, try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re­orienting the receiving antenna, and/or plugging the receiving equipment
into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and
receiver are on different branches).

1.3 DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

We certify that the apparatus identified in this document conforms to the
requirements of Council Directive 1999/5/EC on the approximation of the
laws of the member states relating to Radio and Telecommunication Ter­minal Equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity.

WARNING

• Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports
regardless of whether power to the unit is ON or OFF. To
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

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Electronics Model 2172 CopperLink modems provide high­speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PC’s, or
any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device.

Operating in pairs, one Model 2172 is configured as the (L) Local unit
located at one end of the LAN extension and the other Model 2172 is con­figured as the (R) Remote unit at the other end. The Model 2172 is config­ured as a L or R via the switch on the rear panel. These units can
automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2­wire voice-grade twisted-pair link. The data is passed transparently
(unmodified) through the 2172s. The 2172s automatically add and delete
MAC addresses, only passing pack ets across the CopperLINK link that are
meant for the remote peered LAN.
