1.2 RADIO AND TV INTER FERENCE (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 manu facturer's instructions—may cause interference to radio and television reception. This eq uip me nt h as bee n tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, whic h are designed to prov ide reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installa tion. 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 rece iving anten na, and /or plu gging the rec eivi ng equ ipmen t 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.

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Electronics CopperLink/L and CopperLink/R Ethernet Extenders provide high-speed LAN connections between peered Ether net LANs, remote PCs, or any other network enabled 10/ 100 Bas e-T device.

Operating in pairs, a CopperLink/L (local) located at one end of the LAN extension and a CopperLink/R (remote) at the other end, these units can automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts, an d frames ac ross a 2wire voice-grade twisted-pair link. The data is pas sed transp a rently (unmodified) through the CopperLink Ethernet Extenders. The CopperLink Ethernet Extenders 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 CopperLink/Lunit and CopperLink/R unit work together to create a transparent extension between two peered Ethernet LANs.

Figure 1

shows a typical point-to-point application.

3.0 INSTALLATION

Because the CopperLink Ethernet Extender requires no configuration, it can be installed quickly.

Note If asymmetric transmission or line rates other than 12.5 Mbps

are required , refer to section 4.0, “Configuration” on page 16.

3.1 UNIT INSTALLATION

Do the following:

1. Make a ground connection for the unit (refer to s ection 3.2, “Ground-

ing the CopperLink Ethernet Extender” on page 10).

2. Connect the line interface between the units (refer to section 3.3,

“Connecting the Twisted-Pair Line Interface” on page 10)

Note See Figure 2 for the unit’s rear panel arrangements.

3. Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to sec tion 3.4, “Connec ting the

10/100Base-T Ether net Interface” on pa ge 14).

4. Connect the power plug (re fer to section 3.5 , “Conne cting Power” on

page 15).
