1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE

The Model 2155 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. The Model 2155 has been tested and f ound to comply with the
limits for a Class A computing de vice 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.
Howev er, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partic­ular installation. If the Model 2155 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.

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Electronics CopperLink Ethernet Extenders provide high­speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PC’s , or
any other network enabled 10Base-T device.

Operating in pairs, a Model 2155/L (local) located at one end of the LAN
extension and a Model 2155/R (remote) at the other end, these units can
automatically forward LAN broadcasts , m ulticasts , and fr ames across a 2­wire voice-grade twisted-pair link. The data is passed tr ansparently
(unmodified) through the Ethernet Extenders. They operate as learning
bridges and 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 2155/L and 2155/R work together to create a transparent extension
between two peered Ethernet LANs. Figure 1 shows a typical point-to­point application.
