INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
CLFE4+2SMS[POE](C,U) Series
10/100TX DROP/INSERT/REPEAT 4TX/2EX
SELF-MANAGED SWITCH WITH POE+
The ComNet CLFE4+2SMS[POE](C,U) is a six-port Ethernet switch with add/drop/repeat
functionality and provides 4 copper ports operating at 10/100Mbps and is designed to
combine four electrical ports along with the incoming Cat5, UTP or Coax CopperLine®
extension port into a further CopperLine extension port that forwards this data to
the next CopperLine network device. There is no programming required to use this
product. The ComNet CLFE4+2SMS(C,U) comes pre-programmed, preventing network
video flooding with DIP switch selection of the first CopperLine port as an uplink or as
an unmanaged switch. Ports 1–4 of the CLFE4+2SMSPOE(C,U) can supply up to thirty
(30) watts of Power over Ethernet (PoE) and incorporate PoE+ features based on the
IEEE 802.3at standard. It is “Plug-and-Play”.

Installation Instructions
1 - SET DATA RATE DIP SWITCHES
Locate the 10/100 data rate DIP switch on the unit.
Set the data rate according to bandwidth required.
NOTE: The data rate must be set the same on both the local and remote units.
2 - SET WIRE PAIR DIP SWITCHES (UTP MODELS ONLY, FOR COAX MODELS SKIP TO STEP 3)
Locate the wire pair DIP switch on the unit.
Set the pair according to number of twisted wire pairs used (1 or 4).
NOTE: The number of pairs selected must be set the same on both the local and remote units.
Figure 2 – One-Pair Pin Assignment
For 1-pair mode, use the first pair of pins (pins 1 and 2) of the
“Extended Ethernet” RJ-45 port.
3 - SET LOCAL/REMOTE DIP SWITCHES
Set the Local/Remote switch to Local (LC) for Local (head end) devices or Remote (RM) for Remote (field end) devices.
4 - SET CL1 UP LINK ENABLED DIP SWITCH
Set the Up Link switch to the “ON” position to enable Uplink port features.
5 - CONNECT EXTENDED WIRING
Connect Extended Distance Port to field wiring.
6 - CONNECT NETWORK WIRING
Using Cat5/5e, connect Local unit to network and Remote unit to camera.
7 - CONNECT POWER
Connect power to unit per the following table.
NOTE: Remove Electrical Connector for Rack Mount Units
Table 2 – Power Connections per Use Case
Non-PoE PoE Models Only
Operating Voltage 12 to 24 VDC (9 VDC †when in C1 or C2 Rack)†48 to 56 VDC
Use Power Connectors RTN and +Vin RTN and +Vin
†Contact the ComNet Design Center, or refer to the appropriate installation and operation manual when configuring and specifying power for a deployment.
8 - VERIFY FUNCTIONALITY
See LED table below and Troubleshooting Guide if corrective action is needed.

Table 5 – Troubleshooting Guide
Problem Steps to Take
Indicating LEDs not lighting Check that power is properly applied to the unit using the correct connector pair.
No Communication Check Ethernet Link LEDs, Extended Link LEDs, All Connections, Local/Remote switch is set properly.
Verify that Local units are installed at the head end and that Remote units are installed in the field.
Verify that the Data Rate switches are set to the same data rate on both the Local and Remote units.
Bad Video or Data Make sure Data Rate and 1/4 Pair Switches are set properly, and the extended distance is within specifications (see Table
4 – Approximate Maximum Extended Distances).
Units not reaching estimated max
distances over COAX or UTP Check extended distance cable and connections. Try connection on a short cable to eliminate possibility of faulty cabling. Check that the extended distance wire is connected to Extended Distance Port.
Verify that there is no additional equipment (e.g. surge protector) on the Extended Link. The cable should be continuous from
end to end, with no active components.

1Distance figures are obtained using in-house testing mirroring installations. Factors such as coaxial/copper cable quality, the number of connectors/
splices in the cable run, the use of PoE, and environmental conditions encountered within the installation may affect the actual transmission
distance, and should be taken into consideration.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
These units are supplied as Standalone/Rack mounted module. Units
should be installed in dry locations protected from extremes of
temperature and humidity.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 power supply. Although
the units may be mounted inside a ComNet rack the PoE models cannot be
powered from the built-in rack PSU; they must be powered by an external
48-56VDC PSU.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with
the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment
is not compromised.
