3.1 CONNECTING THE TWISTED-PAIR LINE INTERFACE

The Model 2173R supports communication between two peer Ethernet

LAN sites over a distance of up to 5,500 ft (1.6 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 2173R CopperLINK Inter-

faces.

Note The Model 2173R units work in pairs. One of the units must be

configured as a (L) Local unit, and the other unit must be config-

ured 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.

1. To function properly, the two Model 2173Rs 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.

The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for

external use and shall be rated for the proper applica

tion with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-

perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
