2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Electronics Model 2174 CopperLink modems provide high-
speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PCs, or
any other network-enabled 10/100Base-T device.
Operating in pairs, one Model 2174 is configured as the (L) Local unit
located at one end of the LAN extension and the other Model 2174 is con-
figured as the (R) Remote unit at the other end. The Model 2174 is config-
ured as a L or R via the switch on the bottom of the unit. These units can
automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2-
wire voice-grade twisted-pair or BNC link. The data is passed transpar-
ently (unmodified) through the 2174s. The 2174s automatically add and
delete MAC addresses, only passing packets across the CopperLINK link
that are meant for the remote peered LAN.

9
Figure 1. Typical application
The pair of 2174 models work together to create a transparent extension
between two peered Ethernet LANs using twisted pair (2-wire), Cat5+, or
75-ohm BNC. Figure 1 shows a typical point-to-point application.
3.0 INSTALLATION
To install the 2174 Ethernet Extender, do the following:
1. Connect the line interface between the units (refer to section 3.1,
“Connecting the Line Interface” on page 11)
Note See Figure 2 for the Model 2174’s rear panel arrangements.
2. Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to section 3.2, “Connecting the
10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface” on page 12).
3. Connect the power plug (refer to section 3.3, “Connecting Power” on
page 13).
The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for
external use and shall be rated for the proper applica-
tion with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-
perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.

3.1 CONNECTING THE LINE INTERFACE
The Model 2174 supports communication between two peer Ethernet
LAN sites over a distance of up to 10,000 ft (3 km) over 24 AWG
(0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire, Cat5+, or 75-ohm BNC.
Note Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on
the environment and type/gauge of wire used.
Follow the steps below to connect the Model 2174 CopperLINK Inter-
faces.
Note The Model 2174 units work in pairs. One of the units must be
configured as a (L) Local unit, and the other unit must be config-
ured as a (R) Remote unit.
Connecting the Line Interface for Model 2174/EUI or 2174/TB
1. To function properly, the two Model 2174s must be connected
together using twisted-pair, unconditioned, dry, metal wire, between
19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through
signal equalization equipment are not acceptable.
2. The Model 2174 is equipped with an RJ-45 interface jack (Figure 3) or
terminal block (Figure 4) that can be used on the CopperLINK inter-
face. The CopperLINK interface is a two-wire interface. Observe the
signal/pin relationships on the Model 2174's CopperLINK interface
jack.
The RJ-45 connector on the Model 2174's twisted pair interface is polar-
ity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The signal/pin rela-
tionship is shown in Figure 3.

3.3 CONNECTING POWER
The Model 2174 does not have a power switch, so it powers up as soon
as it is plugged in.
An external AC or DC power supply is available separately. This connec-
tion is made via the barrel jack on the rear panel of the Model 2174. No
configuration is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B for
domestic and international power supply and cord options).
DC power (supplied via the power supply jack to the 2174) must meet
the following requirements; DC power supplied must be regulated
12VDC ±5%, 1.0A minimum. Center pin is +12V. The barrel type plug
has a 2.5/5.5/10mm I.D./O.D./Shaft Length dimensions.
4.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 2174 has eight DIP switches (S1) for configuring the unit for a
wide variety of applications. This section describes switch locations and
explains the different configurations.
4.1 CONFIGURING THE HARDWARE DIP SWITCHES
The DIP switches are externally accessible from the underside of the
Model 2174. Figure 6 on page 14 shows the orientation of the DIP
switches in the On and Off positions.
The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for
external use and shall be rated for the proper applica-
tion with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-
perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
