2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Electronics Model 2172 CopperLink modems provide highspeed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PC’s, or any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device.

Operating in pairs, one Model 2172 is conﬁgured as the (L) Local unit located at one end of the LAN extension and the other Model 2172 is conﬁgured as the (R) Remote unit at the other end. The Model 2172 is conﬁgured as a L or R via the switch on the rear panel. These units can automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2wire voice-grade twisted-pair link. The data is passed transparently (unmodiﬁed) through the 2172s. The 2172s 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 pair of 2172 models work together to create a transparent extension between two peered Ethernet LANs. Figure 1 shows a typical point-topoint application.

3.0 INSTALLATION

The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-

CAUTION

perature, ﬂammability, and mechanical serviceability.

To install the 2172 Ethernet Extender, do the following:

1. Connect the line interface between the units (refer to section 3.1,

“Connecting the Twisted-Pair Line Interface” on page 9)

Note

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

2. Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to section 3.2, “Connecting the

10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface” on page 11).

3. Connect the power plug (refer to section 3.3, “Connecting Power” on

page 12).

3.1 CONNECTING THE TWISTED-PAIR LINE INTERFACE

The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-

CAUTION

perature, ﬂammability, and mechanical serviceability.

The Model 2172 supports communication between two peer Ethernet LAN sites over a distance of up to 6,000 ft (1.8 km) over 24 AWG (0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire.

Note

Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on

the environment and type/gauge of wire used.

Follow the steps below to connect the Model 2172 CopperLINK Interfaces.

Note

The Model 2172 units work in pairs. One of the units must be conﬁgured as a (L) Local unit, and the other unit must be conﬁgured as a (R) Remote unit. It does not matter which end is the L and which is the R. The link is always initiated by the R unit. As long as the L unit is powered on, the R unit can establish a link by being powered on or by having its power reset.

9

1. To function properly, the two Model 2172s must be connected together using 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.

2. The Model 2172 is equipped with either an RJ-45 or a terminal block interface jack that can be used on the CopperLINK interface. These CopperLINK interfaces are a two-wire interface. Observe the signal/pin relationships on the Model 2172's CopperLINK interface jacks.

The RJ-45 connector on the Model 2172's twisted pair interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The signal/pin relationship is shown in Figure 3.

The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-

CAUTION

perature, ﬂammability, and mechanical serviceability.

The Model 2172 does not have a power switch, so it powers up as soon as it is plugged in.

An external AC or DC power supply is available separately. This connection is made via the barrel jack on the rear panel of the Model 2172. No conﬁguration is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B for domestic and international power supply and cord options).

DC power (supplied via the power supply jack to the 2172) must meet the following requirements; DC power supplied must be regulated +5VDC ±5%, 1.0A minimum. Center pin is +5V. The barrel type plug has a 2.5/5.5/10mm I.D./O.D./Shaft Length dimensions.

4.0 CONFIGURATION

The Model 2172 has eight DIP switches for conﬁguring the unit for a wide variety of applications. This section describes switch locations and explains the different conﬁgurations.

4.1 CONFIGURING THE HARDWARE DIP SWITCHES

Using a small ﬂat-tip screwdriver, remove the protective cover located on the underside of the Model 2172 (see Figure 6).

Note

The S2-8 switch applies to the R unit only. If enabled, the R will follow the dip switch conﬁguration of the L unit. If disabled, the R unit will use its own dip switch setting to determine its Ethernet operating mode and Ethernet Shutdown mode conﬁguration. The S2-8 switch does not affect the data rate. The data rate will always follow the L conﬁguration.

5.0 OPERATION

Once the Model 2172s are properly installed, they should operate transparently. No user settings required. This section describes reading the LED status monitors.

5.1 POWER UP

Before applying power to the Model 2172, please review section 3.3, “Connecting Power” on page 12 to verify that the unit is connected to the appropriate power source.

5.2 FRONT PANEL LED STATUS MONITORS

The Model 2172 features three front panel LEDs that monitor power, the Ethernet signals, and the CopperLINK connection. Figure 8 shows the front panel location of each LED. Table 8 on page 17 describes the LED functions.
