Quick Start Guide
This quick start guide describes how to install and use the Hardened
Ethernet Extender. This is the Hardened Ethernet Extender of choice for
harsh environments constrained by space.
Installation
Transmitter: This is a PoL (Power over Link) transmitter. Data and power can be
delivered at the same time through one pair copper wire to turn on and communicate with
a Receiver via an RJ-11 phone jack or a 2-pin Terminal Block interface.
Receiver: This is a PoL (Power over Link) Receiver. The Receiver can be powered either
by a Transmitter through one pair copper wire or power supply. The Ethernet port
supports IEEE802.3at PoE/PSE for fulfilling PoE/PD application.
<Warning>
∞Remove the device power before installation.
∞Remove the device power before any I/O and DIP switch configuration.
∞Do not connect the Transmitter and the Receiver to the same power source.
Power loops back through the PoL linked via copper wire may damage devices.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Enable Installation
∞Ensure all power sources are disconnected from Transmitter and Receiver.
∞Ensure that the Transmitter PoL (Power over Link) DIP switch is in On position (Up
position).
∞Set the Transmitter Type DIP switch to Per (Performance, Up position) for better Line
Speed (but poor noise immunity). Or set the Transmitter’s Type DIP switch to Std
(Standard, Down position) for standard Line Speed (but better noise immunity).
∞Check if Receiver Mode is set to Rmt on DIP switch (Remote, Up position).
∞Connect one end of the one pair copper wire to RJ-11 phone jack or 2-pin Terminal
Block interface of the Transmitter and the other end to RJ-11 phone jack or 2-pin
Terminal Block interface of the Receiver.
∞Connect a power source to Transmitter.
∞Data and power can be delivered from Transmitter, and at the same time through
one pair of copper wire to turn on and communicate with Receiver.
<Note> The equipment is designed for building installation and not intended to be
connected to exposed (outside plant) networks, including campus environment or
equivalent.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Disable Installation
∞For longer distance (e.g. over 1.4km) extension applications, the Receiver may not
be able to receive power from the Transmitter. A separate power supply may be
used on the Receiver.
∞Ensure all power sources are disconnected from the Transmitter and the Receiver.
∞Ensure that the Transmitter PoL (Power over Link) DIP switch is in Off position
(Down position).
∞Set the Transmitter Type DIP switch to Per (Performance, Up position) for better Line
Speed (but poor noise immunity). Or set the Type DIP switch of Transmitter to Std
(Standard, Down position) for standard Line Speed (but better noise immunity).
∞Connect the power source to Transmitter.
∞Check if the Receiver Mode is set to Rmt on DIP switch (Remote, Up position).
∞Connect the power source to the Receiver.

One-Channel Hardened Ethernet Extender
Ports
The Hardened Ethernet Extender provides TX ports and one Ethernet
Extender port.
For the TX ports, it uses RJ-45 connectors and auto senses the speed of
10/100 Mbps.
For the Ethernet Extender port, it uses RJ-11 and Terminal Block
connectors and auto senses the speed of Link (below
20)/20/40/60/80/100Mbps.
Ethernet Extender Mode Settings
Ethernet Extender mode settings are simple using a DIP (Dual Inline
Package) switch on the top panel of the Hardened Ethernet Extender.

Installation
This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Hardened
Ethernet Extender.
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not
be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic
interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following
requirements:
∞The Surrounding Air temperature should be between -40 to +167 degrees Fahrenheit
(-40 to +75 degrees Celsius).
∞The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
∞Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC)
standards.
∞Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the
ventilation holes of the equipment.
∞The power outlet should be within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the product.
DIN Rail Mounting
Fix the DIN rail attachment plate to the back panel of the Hardened Ethernet
Extender.
Installation: Place the Hardened Ethernet Extender on the DIN rail from
above using the slot. Push the front of the Hardened Ethernet Extender
toward the mounting surface until it audibly snaps into place.
Removal: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the Hardened Ethernet
Extender from the DIN rail.

Connecting to Power
Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs or 48-VDC DC Jack:
Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs
Two pairs of power inputs can be used to power up this device. You only
need to have one power input connected to run the Hardened Ethernet
Extender.
Step 1: Connect the DC power cord to the pluggable terminal block on the Hardened
Ethernet Extender, and then plug it into a standard DC outlet.
Step 2: Disconnect the power cord if you want to shut down the Hardened Ethernet
Extender.
48VDC DC Jack
Step 1: Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle on the top side of
the Hardened Ethernet Extender.
Step 2: Connect the power cord to the AC to DC power adapter and attach the plug to a
standard AC outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.
