1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE

The Model 2156 or 2157 generate and use 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. The Models 2156 and 2157 have been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance
with specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in a
commercial installation. How ever , there is no guar antee that interf erence
will not occur in a particular installation. If the Model 2156 or 2157 does
cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter­mined by disconnecting the unit, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the
computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting 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).

1.2 CE NOTICE

The CE symbol on your Patton Electronics equipment indicates that it is
in compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) directive
and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) of the European Union (EU). A Cer­tificate of Compliance is available by contacting Technical Support.

1.3 FCC PART 68

The Models 2156 and 2157 are not intended to be con­nected to the public telephone network.

Caution

1. You are required to request service from the telephone company before

you connect the Model 2156 or 2157 to a network. When you request
service, you must provide the telephone company with the f ollo wing
data.

— The required Universal Service Order code (USOC) jack: RJ-11C
— The make, model number, Ringer Equivalence Number (REN),

and FCC Registration number of the Model 2156 or 2157.

The REN helps you determine the number of devices you can con­nect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring
when your number is called. In most, but not all, areas, the sum of
the RENs of all devices should not e xceed five (5.0). To be certain of
the number of devices you can connect to your line, you should call
your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN.

the telephone company may temporarily discontinue your service. If
possible, they will notify you in advance, but if advance notice is not
practical, you will be notified as soon as possible and will be
informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Electronics CopperLink Ethernet Extenders provide high­speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PCs, or
any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device.

Operating in pairs, a Model 2156 or 2157 can automatically forward LAN
broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2-wire voice-grade twisted­pair 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.
