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

4

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
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 CE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

We certify that the apparatus described above conforms to the require­ments of Council Directive 2004/108/EC on the approximation of the
laws of the member states relating to electromagnetic compatibility; and
Council Directive 2006/95/EC on the approximation of the laws of the
member states relating to electrical equipment designed for use within
certain voltage limits.

by a circuit breaker.

•

If an AC power adapter is used, ensure that the power
cable used meets all applicable standards for the

WARNING

country in which it is to be installed, and that it is
connected to a wall outlet which has earth ground.

•

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
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.

WARNING

WARNING

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

When the 2157R is mounted, it shall be secured in such
a way as to withstand a vertical shear force of 50N or 14
pounds.

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Electronics Model 2157R Ruggedized CopperLink 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 2157R or 2157 can automatically forward
LAN broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2-wire voice-grade
twisted-pair link. The data is passed transparently (unmodified) through
the Ethernet Extenders. They automatically add and delete MAC
addresses, only passing packets across the CopperLink line that are
meant for the remote peered LAN.

Figure 1.

Typical application

The 2157/L and 2157/R work together to create a transparent extension
between two peered Ethernet LANs. Figure 1 shows a typical point-to­point application.
