1.1 REGULATORY INFORMATION
EMC Directive:
• FCC Part 15, Class A
• EN55022, Class A
• EN55024
Low-Voltage Direcive (Safety):
• UL60950-1/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1

1.2 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE (FCC PART 15)
This device generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not
installed and used properly-that is, in strict accordance with the manufac-
turer's instructions-may cause interference to radio and television recep-
tion.The device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A computing device in accordance with specifications in Subpart B

5
of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable pro-
tection from such interference in a commercial installation. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular instal-
lation. If the device does cause interference to radio or television recep-
tion, which can be determined by disconnecting the unit, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the follow-
ing measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver,
re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equip-
ment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and
receiver are on different branches).
1.3 CE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
This device conforms to the requirements of Council Directive
2004/108/EC on the approximation of the laws of the member states
relating to electromagnetic compatibility; and Council Directive
2006/95/EC on the approximation of the laws of the member states relat-
ing to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits.
The safety advice in the documentation accompanying this device shall
be obeyed.The conformity to the above directive is indicated by CE mark
on the device.

1.6 SAFETY WHEN WORKING WITH ELECTRICITY
• This device contains no user serviceable parts. This
device can only be repaired by qualified service person-
nel.
• Do not open the device when the power cord is con-
nected. For systems without a power switch and without
an external power adapter, line voltages are present
within the device when the power cord is connected.
• For devices with an external power adapter, the power
adapter shall be a listed Limited Power Source. The
mains outlet that is utilized to power the device shall be
within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily
accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker in com-
pliance with local regulatory requirements.
• For AC powered devices, ensure that the power cable
used meets all applicable standards for the country in
which it is to be installed.
• For AC powered devices which have 3 conductor
power plugs (L1, L2 & GND or Hot, Neutral &
Safety/Protective Ground), the wall outlet (or socket)
must have an earth ground.
• For DC powered devices, ensure that the interconnect-
ing cables are rated for proper voltage, current, antici-
pated temperature, flammability, and mechanical
serviceability.
• WAN, LAN & PSTN ports (connections) may have haz-
ardous voltages present regardless of whether the
device is powered ON or OFF. PSTN relates to inter-
faces such as telephone lines, FXS, FXO, DSL, xDSL,
T1, E1, ISDN, Voice, etc. These are known as “hazard-
ous network voltages” and to avoid electric shock use
caution when working near these ports. When discon-
necting cables for these ports, detach the far end con-
nection first.
• Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect
cables during periods of lightning activity.
WARNING

7
In accordance with the requirements of council direc-
tive 2002/96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE), ensure that at end-of-life you sepa-
rate this product from other waste and scrap and deliver
to the WEEE collection system in your country for recy-
cling.
This device is NOT intended nor approved for connec-
tion to the PSTN. It is intended only for connection to
customer premise equipment.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment
and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic
printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can
result in complete or intermittent failures. Do the fol-
lowing to prevent ESD:
• Always follow ESD prevention procedures when
removing and replacing cards.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it
makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an
unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely chan-
nel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.
• To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks,
the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no
wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the
metal part of the chassis.

2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Electronics Model 2158B CopperLink modems provide high-
speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PC’s, or
any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device.
Operating in pairs, one Model 2158B is configured as the (L) Local unit
located at one end of the LAN extension and the other Model 2158B is
configured as the (R) Remote unit at the other end. The Model 2158B is
configured 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 2158Bs.The 2158Bs automatically add and
delete MAC addresses, only passing packets across the CopperLINK link
that are meant for the remote peered LAN.

Figure 1. Typical application
The pair of 2158B 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 2158B 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)
Note See Figure 2 for the standalone unit’s rear panel arrangements.
2. Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to section 3.2, “Connecting the
10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface” on page 11).
3. Connect the power plug (refer to section 3.3, “Connecting Power” on
page 12).
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.
CAUTION

3.1 CONNECTING THE TWISTED-PAIR LINE INTERFACE
The Model 2158B supports communication between two peer Ethernet
LAN sites over a distance of up to 3,750 ft (1.1 km) over 24 AWG
(0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire.
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 2158B CopperLINK Inter-
faces.
Note The Model 2158B 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. It does not matter which end is the L
and which is the R. The link is always initiated by the R unit. As
long as the L unit is powered on, the R unit can establish a link
by being powered on or by having its power reset.
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.
