Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
When starting to install interface cards place the interface card on its shielded plastic bag if you lay it on
your bench.
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.
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and
replacing cards.
CAUTION
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.
General observations
• C
lean the case with a soft slightly moist anti-static cloth
• Place the unit on a flat surface and ensure free air circulation
• Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight and other heat sources

Model 2160 overview
The Patton CopperLink™ Model 2160 simplifies and provides cost effective network extension by utilizing
pre-existing twisted pair infrastructure enables service providers to offer broadband or data backhaul services to
businesses, governments, and various institutions over existing last-mile, copper infrastructure. Today, more
than ever, operators are finding the business case for leveraging their existing copper networks to be highly
attractive from an ROI and initial investment perspective over fiber roll-outs.
Patton’s 2160 CopperLink Ethernet Extender incorporates multi-pair bonding to offer unmatched rate, reach
and reliable Ethernet connectivity, providing symmetrical 22.8 Mbps of bandwidth over 4-pair (8-wire) at distances up to 1.8 miles (2.9 km). The Model 2160 comes standard with a 4-port fast Ethernet switch with full
QoS and CoS features. VLAN (802.1q) capabilities include 4 levels of priorities, traffic flow control, and rate
control. These traffic management and QoS features enable service providers to provision for differentiated services and/or SLAs.
Refer to Appendix B, “Specifications” on page 102 for a complete feature description of the Model 2160.

Introduction
The Patton CopperLink™ Model 2160 simplifies and provides cost effective network extension by utilizing
pre-existing twisted pair infrastructure enables service providers to offer broadband or data backhaul services to
businesses, governments, and various institutions over existing last-mile, copper infrastructure. Today, more
than ever, operators are finding the business case for leveraging their existing copper networks to be highly
attractive from an ROI and initial investment perspective over fiber roll-outs.
Typical application
Patton’s CopperLink Auto-Rate Ethernet Extenders are the perfect fit for simple, cost-effective high speed
Ethernet Extension. They allow customers to take advantage of the existing copper infrastructure to connect
remote LAN’s across distances and at speeds previously unthought-of. The auto-rate feature ensures the highest
speed is achieved on each connection, and the plug-n-play operation ensures they are up and running in seconds. Add in the 4 x auto-sensing full/half duplex 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports with the integrated crossover
switch to make setup even easier. The value of these Ethernet Extenders can’t be beat!
• Auto-Rate Feature—The advanced auto-rate algorithm automatically determines the best possible rate for
each connection and sets up each extender without any need for user interface.
• Plug-and-Play—Just unpack the extenders, plug them into each end of the extension, power them up, and
they are up and running. It doesn’t get any easier!
• High Speed/Long Reach—These Ethernet Extenders provide the best combination of speed and distance
seen anywhere in the industry!

Introduction
This chapter contains information for planning the installation of the Model 2160 with the following installation procedures:
• “Unpacking the Model 2160” on page 29 lists the contents of the shipping box
• “Connecting cables” on page 29 describes how to install the port cables
• “Grounding the Model 2160 and connecting power” on page 30 describes how to ground and connect the
power source
Planning the installation
Before beginning the actual installation, we strongly recommend that you gather all the information you will
need to install and set up the device.
• Create a network diagram
• Gather IP related information
• Install the hardware and software needed to configure the Model 2160
• Verify power source reliability
When you finish preparing for your installation, go to section “Installing the Model 2160” on page 29 to
install the device.

IP related information
Before you can set up the basic IP connectivity for your Model 2160 series you should have the following
information:
• IP addresses used for Ethernet LAN and WAN ports
• Subnet mask used for Ethernet LAN and WAN ports
You will need a PC (or equivalent) with a VT-100 emulation program (e.g. HyperTerminal) to configure the
software on your Model 2160.
AC Power Mains
If you suspect that your AC power is not reliable, for example if room lights flicker often or there is machinery
with large motors nearby, have a qualified professional test the power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.
Refer to “Grounding the Model 2160 and connecting power” on page 30.
The mains outlet that is utilized to power the equipment must be within
1 foot (3 meters) of the device and shall be easily accessible.
WARNING
Planning the installation28
Model 2160 Series Getting Started Guide 3 • Hardware installation
Note
When setting up your Model 2160 you must consider cable-length
limitations and potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) as
defined by the applicable local and international regulations. Ensure
that your site is properly prepared before beginning installation.
Location and mounting requirements
The Model 2160 is intended to be placed on a desktop or similar sturdy, flat surface that offers easy access to
the cables. Additionally, you should consider the need to access the unit for future upgrades and maintenance.
This completes the planning phase for installation. The next section begins the installation procedures.
Installing the Model 2160
Unpacking the Model 2160
Inspect the shipping carton for external damage. Note any damage before removing the container contents.
Report any equipment damage to the shipping carrier immediately for claim purposes. Save all packing material in case you need to return an item to the factory for servicing.
The Model 2160 comes with the following items:
• Model 2160 Quick Start Guide
• Model 2160
• An RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable for use with the console and Ethernet ports
• A DB-9-to-RJ-45 (EIA-561) adapter for connecting a PC’s serial port to the Model 2160 console port
• CD-ROM containing product literature and the Model 2160 Getting Started Guide
Note
Power cables are shipped separately from the Model 2160

cables must be acceptable for external use
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the MGMT port. Model 2160 supports audi-MDIX switching so you may
use a crossover or straight-through cable.
2. Connect one end of a phone cable to the LINE port and the other end of the cable to a wall jack.
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity.
WARNING
Installing the Model 216029
Model 2160 Series Getting Started Guide 3 • Hardware installation
Grounding the Model 2160 and connecting power
In connecting to the power source, it is important to establish a good grounding connection first, then the
power connection. Do the following:
1. Assemble a ground wire using #10 AWG wire with green-colored insulation and two ring terminals. Make
the wire long enough to reach one of the following earth ground sources:
– The building ground rod (generally located at the site’s main service entrance)
– A sprinkler system pipe
– A cold-water pipe
– Building structural steel

connected. 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.
The Model 2160 is not shipped with power cables. For AC powered units,
ensure that the power cable used meets all applicable standards for the country in which it is to be installed, and that it is connected to a wall outlet which
has earth ground.
The power supply automatically adjusts to accept an input voltage from 100 to 240 VAC(50/60 Hz).
