6. Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to section 3.4, “Connecting the

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

3.3 CONNECTING THE TWISTED-PAIR LINE INTERFACE

The CopperLink Ethernet Extender supports communication between

two peer Ethernet LAN sites over a distance of up to 6,000 ft (1.83 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 CopperLink Ethernet Extenders

interfaces.

Note

The CopperLink units work in pairs. One of the CopperLink units

must be an L (local), and the other unit must be an R (remote). It

does not matter which end is the L and which is the R. The link is

always initiated by the R. As long as the L is powered on, the R

can establish a link by being powered on or by having its power

reset.

1. To function properly, the two CopperLink Ethernet Extenders 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 CopperLink Ethernet Extenders are equipped with two interface

jacks that can be used on the CopperLink interface, an RJ-45 or a ter-

minal block. These CopperLink interfaces are a two-wire interface.

Observe the signal/pin relationships on the CopperLink Ethernet

Extender's CopperLink interface jacks.

The

RJ-45 connector

on the CopperLink Ethernet Extender's twisted

pair interface

is polarity insensitive

and is wired for a two-wire inter-

face. The signal/pin relationship is shown in Figure 4.
