• This device contains no user serviceable parts. The equipment shall be

WARNING

returned to Patton Electronics for repairs, or repaired by qualified ser­vice personnel.

• The external power adapter shall be a listed Limited Power Source. The
mains outlet that is utilized to power the devise shall be within 10 feet
(3 meters) of the device, shall be easily accessible, and protected by a
circuit breaker.

• If an AC power adapter is used, 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.

• 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.

Connect the Line Interface

To function properly, the CL2300 must be connected using a 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.

The Long Range Ethernet Extender is equipped with a RJ-45 interface jack (Line), which conforms to the T568B
standard. Any standard Category 5e cable can be used to directly connect two routers. Depending on the router
model, it will have a two-wire, four-wire or eight-wire interface. Observe the signal/pin relationship on the
CL2300’s Line interface jack for each pair in Figure 2. Figure 4 shows the proper way to wire a cable with a RJ­45 jack on one end and four RJ-11jacks on the other.

2.1 Connecting Console Interface

Install the supplied RJ-45-to-RJ-45 cable with the DB9-RJ45 adapter between the CL2300 RS-232 port and an
open serial port on your computer. If you need to assemble your own cable, refer to the pinout diagram in

figure 5.

2.2 Connect the Ethernet Interface

The Long Range Ethernet Extender has four unshielded RJ-45 auto-MDIX10/100Base-T interfaces. These are
designed to connect directly to a 10/100Base-TX network. Figure 6 shows the signal/pin relationships on this
interface. You may connect this port to a hub or PC using a straight through or crossover cable that is up to 328
ft long.

2.3 Connect the PoE Interface (optional)

The RJ-45 port is an Auto-MDIX 10/100Base-T interface. This port is designed to connect directly to a 10/
100Base-T network. Figure 6 shows the signal/pin relationships on this interface. You may connect this port to
any Ethernet enabled device using a straight-through or crossover cable that is up to 328 ft long. PoE enabled
devices such as IP cameras, Voice over IP (VoIP) phones and wireless access points may draw the PoE. The router
injects power on the data pair pins 1/2 (PoE+) and 3/6 (PoE-) of the connector labeled “Eth 3.” The power injec­tion conforms to the 802.3af specification, and will deliver the 55 volts with a maximum of 13 watts. A 12 volt 3
amp external power supply is required for PoE.
