1.6 SAFETY WHEN WORKING WITH ELECTRICITY
• This device contains no user serviceable parts. This
device can only be repaired by qualified service per
sonnel.
• Do not open the device when the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch and without
an external power adapter, line voltages are present
within the device when the power cord is connected.
• For devices with an external power adapter, the power
adapter shall be a listed Limited Power Source. The
mains outlet that is utilized to power the device shall be
within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily
accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker in com
pliance with local regulatory requirements.
• For AC powered devices, ensure that the power cable
used meets all applicable standards for the country in
which it is to be installed.
• For AC powered devices which have 3 conductor
power plugs (L1, L2 & GND or Hot, Neutral & Safety/
WARNING
Protective Ground), the wall outlet (or socket) must
have an earth ground.
-
-
• For DC powered devices, ensure that the interconnecting cables are rated for proper voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical
serviceability.
• WAN, LAN & PSTN ports (connections) may have hazardous voltages present regardless of whether the
device is powered ON or OFF. PSTN relates to inter
faces such as telephone lines, FXS, FXO, DSL, xDSL,
T1, E1, ISDN, Voice, etc. These are known as “hazard
ous network voltages” and to avoid electric shock use
caution when working near these ports. When discon
necting cables for these ports, detach the far end connection first.
• Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect
cables during periods of lightning activity.

WARNING
WARNING
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 sepa
rate this product from other waste and scrap and deliver
to the WEEE collection system in your country for recy
cling.
This device is NOT intended nor approved for connection to the PSTN. It is intended only for connection to
customer premise equipment.
When the 2173R is mounted, it shall be secured in such
a way as to withstand a vertical shear force of 50N or 14
pounds.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment
and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic
printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can
result in complete or intermittent failures. Do the fol
lowing to prevent ESD:
-
-
-
WARNING
• Always follow ESD prevention procedures when
removing and replacing cards.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it
makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an
unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely chan
nel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.
• To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks,
the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no
wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the
metal part of the chassis.

2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Electronics Model 2173R Ruggedized 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 2173R or 2173 is configured as the (L) Local
unit located at one end of the LAN extension and the other Model 2173R
or 2173 is configured as the (R) Remote unit at the other end. These units
can automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multicast s, and frames across
a 2-wire voice-grade twisted-pair link. The data is pas sed transp a rently
(unmodified) through the 2173Rs or 2173s. The 2173Rs automatically add
and delete MAC addresses, only passing packets across the CopperLINK
link that are meant for the remote peered LAN.

Figure 1. Typical application
The pair of 2173R and 2173 models work together to create a transparent
extension between two peered Ethernet LANs.
Figure 1 shows a typical
point-to-point application.

perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
To install the 2173R 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 10)
Note See Figure 2 for the standalone unit’s rear panel arrangements.
2. Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to section 3.2, “Connec ting the
10/100Base-T Ether net Interface” on page 11).
3. Connect the power plug (refer to section 3.3 , “Conne cting Power” on
page 12).

perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
The Model 2173R supports communication between two peer Ethernet
LAN sites over a distance of up to 5,500 ft (1.6 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 2173R CopperLINK Interfaces.
Note The Model 2173R 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 2173Rs 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.

the Model 2173R's CopperLINK interface jacks.
The RJ-45 connector on the Model 2173R's twisted pair interface is
polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The signal/pin
relationship is shown in Figure 3.

perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
The Model 2173R 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 availab le se p arately. This conne ction is made via the barre l jack on the rear p anel of the M odel 2 173R. 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 2173R) must meet
the following requirements; DC power supplied must be regulated
+5VDC ±5% , 1 .0A mi nim um . C e nte r pi n is +5V. The barrel type plug has
a 2.5/5.5/10mm I.D./O.D./Shaft Length dimensions.
4.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 2173 has four DIP switches (S1) for configuring the unit for a
wide variety of applications. This section describes switch locations and
explains the different configurations..
4.1 CONFIGURING THE HARDWARE DIP SWITCHES
Using a small fl at-t ip screw driv er, remove the protecti ve c over loc ated on
the underside of the Model 2173R (see
