VR148COAX Network Extender Installation Drawing
Install Network to VR148COAX and IP Cameras
Refer to the above diagram when installing. Use best industry practices and follow all local building codes.
1) Connect an earth ground to each unit before making any additional connections.
2) Connect a network cable from the security room or IP network equipment to the receiver.
3) Connect a coaxial cable between the transmitter and the receiver.
4) Connect a network cable from the transmitter’s Ethernet jack to the IP camera or other network device.
5) Connect a Class 2 power transformer to the push in power connector of each VR148COAX unit. The units
require 24VAC @ 1 Amp. There is no polarity to these terminals.
Normal Operation
When power is applied to both units the Network LED’s will come on and the link status LED will blink for about 30
seconds as the link is being optimized. When the link is stable the link status LED will remain “ON”. The data LED will
blink with network activity.
! The separate protective earthing terminal provided on this product shall be permanently connected to earth ground.

Troubleshooting
After completing installation, if the units are not operating properly, check each step at each unit in order.
1) If the Power LED is off verify the unit’s power connections and verify that the power source is on an active
circuit.
2) If the link status LED does not stop blinking, verify that the coax cable has been properly installed and make
sure receiver’s link Type LED is “ON” and that transmitter’s link Type LED is “OFF”.
3) If the Activity LED is “OFF” verify you have power to the camera and good connections to the RJ45 connectors.
4) If the activity LED is “ON” and the link status LED is “ON” and there is no picture, verify camera IP address and
monitoring IP address are proper and refresh the monitor. Directly attach the camera through a short patch cable
directly to NVR/IP network. Verify that camera and monitor program are properly functioning.
