1.2 SAFETY WHEN WORKING WITH ELECTRICITY

• 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 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

WARNING

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
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

WARNING

CAUTION

This device contains no user serviceable parts. This device can
only be repaired by qualified service personnel.

This device is NOT intended nor approved for connection to the
PSTN. It is intended only for connection to customer premise
equipment.

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 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
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.

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.

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton IM2RC/I-100B, Et hernet Bridge Mo dule inst alls in the NetL ink
Rack system to provide seamless Ethernet LAN extension. The Patton
IM2RC/I-100B performs the bridging function between two physically
separate Ethernet LANs at the MAC level. Operation of the Patton
IM2RC/I-100B is transparent to higher network level protocols such as
TCP/IP, DECnet, NETBIOS and IPX. The Model IM2RC/I-100B is 802.3
compliant and supports PPP (RFC 1661) with Bridging Control Protocol
(RFC 1638).

Once installed in the local Patton NetLink rack, the Patton IM2RC/I-100B
works in a “plu g and play ” manner to forward LAN broadcas ts , mul ticas ts
and frames destine d fo r th e p eere d Et hernet LAN at the remote end (the
Patton base unit at the remote end must be equipped with an IM1/I mod­ule). Using the Patton IM2RC/I-100B in conjuction with a G.SHDSL front
card (3088RC) or NTU (2701RC), peered Ethernet LANs can be linked
over leased 2-wire or E1 circuits. The NTU features externally-accessible
DIP switches, loopback diagnostics, SNMP/HTTP remote-management
