1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Model 2158 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 2158 has been tested and f ound 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. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the Model 2158 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 f ollowing 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 Model 2158/L and 2158/R Ethernet Extenders
provide high-speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs,
remote PC’s, or any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device.
Operating in pairs, a Model 2158/L (local) located at one end of the LAN
extension and a Model 2158/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 transparently
(unmodified) through the 2158s. The 2158s automatically add and delete
MAC addresses, only passing pac kets across the CopperLink line that are
meant for the remote peered LAN.
