Safety When Working With Electricity
• Do not open the device when the power cord is con-
nected. For systems without a power switch and without
WARNING
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 compliance 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/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 hazard-
ous voltages present regardless of whether the device is
powered ON or OFF. PSTN relates to interfaces such as
telephone lines, FXS, FXO, DSL, xDSL, T1, E1, ISDN,
Voice, etc. These are known as “hazardous network voltages” and to avoid electric shock use caution when
working near these ports. When disconnecting 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
This device contains no user serviceable parts. This
device can only be repaired by qualified service personnel.
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.

mittent failures. Do the following to prevent ESD:
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 channel unwanted ESD voltages

CopperLink CL2300 User Manual 1 • General Information
Overview
Patton’s CopperLink™ Model CL2300 is a cost effective Ethernet Extender capable of achieving bandwidth
rates of over 60 Mbps. The CL2300 is the ideal choice for providing internet access to bandwidth hungry small
to medium size offices, wireless backhaul, Metro Ethernet, even LAN-to-LAN extensions.
The Model CL2300 can bond from 1 to 4 pairs to increase overall bandwidth. Each pair is capable of 5.7 to
15.3 Mbps depending on your distance requirements. The ability to configure pair bonding and various line
rate modes enables service providers, integrators and businesses to choose the best available rate vs. reach com
bination for the application.
The CL2300 is a layer two device. This means that it operates on the MAC layer and much of its functionality
is analogous to that of an Ethernet switch. The CL2300 has limited routing functionality. It is capable of rout
ing traffic only for the purpose of in-band or out-band management of the device.
The CL2300 defaults to plug-n-play mode which enables CopperLink Extenders to pair up automatically at
the best rate achievable. Should a pair be faulty the CL2300 will automatically adjust the line rate to ensure the
network connection remains stable.
In addition to offering Patton’s highly regarded CopperLink plug-n-play
features, the managed CopperLink series adds a higher level of network control for the more demanding appli
cations.
The network management port is securely protected. Stateful Firewall inspection of traffic, accomplished
through the creation of Access Control Lists (ACLs), enables the filtering of traffic based on numerous criteria
including source and destination IP address, port, connection state, and protocol.
-
-
-
Logical and physical ports are selectable for bridging. Features such VLANs are configurable on a per-port
basis. Bridged traffic can be tagged and prioritized according to user defined parameters.
The CL2300 offers easy installation. The variety of configuration options include CLI via console (RS232),
Telnet, or SSH. Also included is HTTP web-based management, and SNMP.
Patton's managed CopperLink series offer the versatility and reliability demanded for the most critical network
applications at an affordable price.

Follow the steps below to connect the CL2300 interfaces.
1. T
o function properly, the two CL2300s 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 E
thernet Extender is equipped with an RJ-45 interface jack (Line), which conforms to the T568B
standard. As such, any standard Category 5e cable can be used to directly connect two extenders. Depending on the extender model, it will have a two-wire, four-wire or eight-wire interface

Context Switch: HW Bridge
Context Switch is the hardware MAC switching (conceptual entity) support for the Embedded Trinity Device.
This functionality allows the unit to function as a managed or unmanaged layer 2 VLAN switch. Managing
your traffic flow with Context Switch commands will significantly enhance the performance especially when
handling the tagging/untagging of VLAN traffic. The switch is set by default as layer two unmanaged switch
with no VLAN support for passing transparent traffic.
Description
Switch Mode Groups Allows you to put Ethernet ports into isolation groups at the HW layer
Switch Mode VLANS Allows you to put the Ethernet ports into 802.1q VLAN trunk mode
Switch Mode Groups
By default the Switch mode is set for all Ethernet Ports to be in same isolation group on in the same switch.
This means that all of the E
thernet Ports are one switch and all traffic flow on all ports will follow the same
path. Switch mode groups also allow you to divide the switch into more than one switch device and this can be
used for traffic isolation. This is the best way to setup your device if you are not using VLAN traffic.
Switch Mode VLANS
If your network design includes the use of VLAN traffic it’s best to the put the switch into VLAN mode. This
mode allo
ws you to decide if you want the port to be used as an “access port” or “trunk port” and the tagging/
untagging can be performed at the HW layer. Tagging and Untagging of VLANS is an ideal way to isolate your
traffic for purposes of higher level of security, QoS and or network monitoring for management purposes
