2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Electronics Model 2151 CopperLink modems provide high-
speed LAN connections between peeredEthernet LANs, remote PC’s, or
any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device.
Operating in pairs, one Model 2151 is configured as the (L) Local unit
located at one end of the LAN extension and the other Model 2151 is con-
figured as the (R) Remote unit at the other end. The Model 2151 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 link. The data is passed transparently
(unmodified) through the 2151s. The 2151s 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 2151 models work together to create a transparent extension
between two peered Ethernet LANs. Figure 1 shows a typical point-to-
point application.
3.0 INSTALLATION
To install the 2151 Ethernet Extender, do the following:
1. Connect the line interface between the units (refer to section 3.1,
“Connecting the Twisted-Pair Line Interface” on page 10)

1. To function properly, the two Model 2151s 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 2151 is equipped with an RJ-45 interface jack that can be
used on the CopperLINK interface. The CopperLINK interface is a
two-wire interface. Observe the signal/pin relationships on the Model
2151's CopperLINK interface jack.
The RJ-45 connector on the Model 2151'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.

3.2 CONNECTING THE 10/100BASE-T ETHERNET INTERFACE
The shielded RJ-45 ports labeled Ethernet are the Auto-
MDIX10/100Base-T interface. These ports are designed to connect
directly to a 10/100Base-T network. Figure 4 shows the signal/pin rela-
tionships on this interface. You may connect this port to a hub or PC
using a straight through or crossover cable that is up to 328 ft long.

3.3 CONNECTING POWER
The Model 2151 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 2151. 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 2151) must meet
the following requirements; DC power supplied must be regulated
+5VDC ±5%, 1.0A minimum. Center pin is +5V. The barrel type plug has
a 2.5/5.5/10mm I.D./O.D./Shaft Length dimensions.
4.0 CONFIGURATION
The Model 2151 has four 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
Using a small flat-tip screwdriver, remove the protective cover located on
the underside of the Model 2151 (see Figure 5).
