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).

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.

Figure 1.
Typical application
The pair of 2172 models 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.
To install the 2172 Ethernet Extender, do the following:
1. Connect the line interface between the units (refer to section 3.1,
“Connecting the Twisted-Pair Line Interface” on page 9)
Note
See Figure 2 for the standalone unit’s rear panel arrangements.
2. Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to section 3.2, “Connecting the
10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface” on page 11).
3. Connect the power plug (refer to section 3.3, “Connecting P ow er” on
page 12).

The Model 2172 supports communication between two peer Ethernet
LAN sites over a distance of up to 6,000 ft (1.8 km) over 24 AWG
(0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire.
Note
Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on
the environment and type/gauge of wire used.
Follow the steps below to connect the Model 2172 CopperLINK Interfaces.
Note
The Model 2172 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 Model 2172s must be connected
together using twisted-pair, unconditioned, dry, metal wire, between
9
19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through
signal equalization equipment are not acceptable.
2. The Model 2172 is equipped with either an RJ-45 or a terminal block
interface jack that can be used on the CopperLINK interf ace. These
CopperLINK interfaces are a two-wire interface. Observe the signal/
pin relationships on the Model 2172's CopperLINK interface jacks.
The Line port has been classified as TNV-1 and is
approved for connection to a PSTN TNV-1 circuit.
WARNING
The RJ-45 connector on the Model 2172's twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The signal/pin relationship is shown in Figure 3.

CAUTION
The Model 2172 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 2172. No
configuration is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B for
domestic and international power supply and cord options).
DC power (supplied via the power supply jack to the 2172) must meet
the following requirements; DC power supplied must be regulated
+5VDC ±5%, 1.0A minimum. Center pin is +5V. The barrel type plug has
a 2.5/5.5/10mm I.D./O.D./Shaft Length dimensions.
The Model 2172 has eight DIP switches for configuring the unit f or a wide
variety of applications. This section describes switch locations and
explains the different configurations.

Switch S2-7: Ethernet Shutdown
Use switch S2-7 to enable or disable Ethernet Shutdown. When Ethernet
Shutdown is enabled, the 2172 will disable the Ethernet interface when
there is no CopperLINK link detected. When Ethernet Shutdown is disabled, the Ethernet interface will always be enabled.
Table 6:

Switch S2-8: Remote Configuration
Use switch S2-8 to enable or disable Remote Configuration.
Table 7:

S2-8 Description
ON Remote Configuration Enabled
OFF Remote Configuration Disabled
Note
The S2-8 switch applies to the R unit only. If enabled, the R will
follow the dip switch configur ation of the L unit. If disabled, the R
unit will use its own dip switch setting to determine its Ethernet
15
operating mode and Ethernet Shutdown mode configuration.
The S2-8 switch does not affect the data rate. The data rate will
always follow the L configuration.
5.0 OPERATION
Once the Model 2172s are properly installed, they should operate transparently. No user settings required. This section describes reading the
LED status monitors.
5.1 POWER UP
Before applying power to the Model 2172, please review section 3.3,
“Connecting Pow er” on page 12 to verify that the unit is connected to the
appropriate power source.
5.2 FRONT PANEL LED STATUS MONITORS
The Model 2172 features three front panel LEDs that monitor power, the
Ethernet signals, and the CopperLINK connection. Figure 8 shows the
front panel location of each LED. Table 8 on page 17 describes the LED
functions.
