OVERVIEW
These Network Extenders provide simple LAN connectivity
across T1, Dual T1, DS3, E1, or E3 leased lines without
complicated routers.
Transparent point-to-point connectivity
Use a pair of extenders in a point-to-point application
to link two networks together—for instance, you can link
the network in a remote office to your corporate network.
The extenders are also ideal as a front end for an IP router,
installed between your router and an ISP.
And because they’re totally transparent to your network,
the extenders don’t affect the operation of your network
devices.
Long-distance
Unlike ordinary DSL extenders which operate over copper
wire that you own, Network Extender Kits operate over
circuits provided by your telco. Because you’re using telco
lines, your range is theoretically infinite. You can easily use
one of these extenders to seamlessly link to a network across
the country or even around the world.
High-speed reliable transmission
The T1 Network Extender operates over a single T1 line and
supports selectable symmetrical T1 data rates up to 1.55 Mbps.
The Dual T1 Network Extender Kit doubles T1 throughput
to 3.09 Mbps by sending data over two loop-bonded T1 lines.
For networks with even higher bandwidth requirements,
the DS3 Network Extender provides an incredible 45 Mbps.
The E1 Network Extender works over a single E1 line and
supports E1 data rates up to 2.048 Mbps.
The E3 Network Extender operates over one E3 line and
sends data at E3 rates of 45 Mbps.
The extenders use a 100% packet-based IPacket™ compliant
technology for optimum throughput and reliability.
Easy to set up
Network Extenders are easy to install—literally plug and
play. Even the CSU/DSU is built in so you don’t need to buy
a separate device.
To install the extenders, just verify that the extender’s
CSU/DSU DIP switches are set to your configuration correctly,
plug the extender into your Ethernet switch and your T1,
Dual T1, DS3, E1, or E3 line, and you’re ready to go! LEDs
signal that a connection is established and operational.
The extenders feature 10-/100-Mbps autosensing Ethernet
ports—just connect it to your switch, and the extender auto-
matically adapts to your network speed. An LED indicates
whether 10- or 100-Mbps connections are made.
Each extender kit includes a single-port provider unit and
a single-port subscriber unit. The provider unit is installed at
the Central Office (CO) or “head end” of the connection and
controls all configurable options. The sub-scriber unit is
installed at the customer premise.

Recognize any of these situations?
• You wait more than 30 minutes to get through
to a vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you
the wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase order number and the
tech refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s
tech support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data Communications
magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say
that getting the technical support they need is extremely
important when choosing a vendor. But even though
network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their
overall purchase price for a basic service and support
contract, the technical support and service they receive
falls far short of their expectations—and certainly isn’t
worth what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the
best support. You can even consult our Technical Support
Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just
the right component for your application.
Don’t waste time and money—call Black Box today.
