mode.
Local mode: Operation mode of the Extender is
fixed as Local mode.
A pair of Extenders can only have one Extender
set to Local mode.
Connection establishment time for Extender
port:
One Extender is set as Local mode, the other
is set as Auto mode: Around 40 seconds.
A pair of Extenders are set to Auto mode:
Connection establishment time may be
longer, sometimes the connection
establishment time may be up to a few
minutes.
NOTE: After making changes to the position of
any DIP switch, the Ethernet Extender must be
rebooted for the new settings to take effect.
Ethernet Extender Connection
The RJ-11 and Terminal Block port pinouts
Pin 3: Tip, Pin 4: Ring.
Use a telephone line to connect two RJ-11 or
Terminal Block ports between two Hardened
Ethernet Extenders.
5 Apply DC Power
Connect the DC power cord to the plug-able
terminal block on the Ethernet Extender, and
then plug it into a standard DC outlet.
Connect the ground connection from the
terminal block to the grounding surface.
