slave.
DIP Function
Master The LRE-101 is functioned as a Master.
Slave The LRE-101 is functioned as a Slave.
By default, the 2-position DIP switch is set in the “Master”
position and is operated as “CO”. To operate, slide the DIP 1
switch to the “Slave” position. Just slide it to whatever position
you prefer to fulfill your application requirement.

2.4 Power Information
The LRE-101 requires 5V DC, 2A power input, which conforms to the bundled
AC adapter. Should you have the issue of power connection, contact your local
sales representative.

4. Installations
4.1 Wall-mount Installation
Step 1: Find a suitable wall to mount the LRE-101.
Step 2: Screw two screws on the wall.
Step 3: Hang the LRE-101 on the screws from the wall.
Step 4: Repeat Step 5 of Desktop Installation for power supply to the
LRE-101.
10GBASE-T to 10GBASE-X
5V DC
Before mounting the device to the wall, please check the loca-
tion of the electrical outlet and the length of the Ethernet cable.

13
4.2 Chassis Installation and Rack Mounting
To install the Ethernet Extender in a 10-inch or 19-inch Converter Chassis with
standard rack, follow the instructions described below.
Step 1: Place your LRE-101 on a hard at surface, with the front panel
positioned towards your front side.
Step 2: Carefully slide in the module until it is fully and rmly tted into the
slot of the converter chassis.
Step 3: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Converter Chassis
with supplied screws attached to the package.
Step 4: After the brackets are attached to the Converter Chassis, use
suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack.
Step 5: Proceed with Step 4 and Step 5 of the 4.1 Installation section to
connect the network cabling and supply power to your Converter
Chassis.
You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets.
Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would
invalidate your warranty.

14
4.3 Optional DIN-rail Installation
There are two DIN-rail holes on the left side of the LRE-101 that allows to
be easily installed by DIN-rail mounting. PLANET optional DIN-rail mounting kit
– RKE-DIN -- can be ordered separately. Refer to the following steps for the
DIN-rail mounting of the LRE-101:
Step 1: Screw the DIN rail on the LRE-101.
Step 2: Now slide the DIN rail into the track.
Step 3: Check whether the DIN rail is tightly on the track.
You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets.
Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would
invalidate your warranty.

5. Applications
The Ethernet Extender does not require any software conguration. Users can
immediately use any feature of this product simply by attaching the cables
and turning the power on. There are some key limitations on the Ethernet
Extender. Please check the following items.
5.1 Point-to-Point Application -- LAN to LAN Connection
One set of the Ethernet Extender could be used to link two local area networks
that are located in dierent places. Through the UTP cable or Phone wire, it
could set up a 100Mbps backbone, but one Ethernet Extender must be Master
(CO mode) and the other one is Slave (CPE mode).

PC
LRE-101
Master
LRE-101
Slave
5V DC adapter
or
Phone wire Up to 12000m
Cat5E UTP Up to 700m
Connecting Standalone PC
Refer to the following procedures to set up the LRE-101 LAN to LAN
connection.
1. [LAN1] Set the LRE-101 in LAN 1 to be in the Master mode from the DIP
switch
2. [LAN2] Set the LRE-101 in LAN 2 to be in the Slave mode from the DIP
switch
3. Power on the LRE-101 Master and Slave at both sides by connecting its
power source.
4. Master or Slave LED will illuminate correspondingly.
5. Connect UTP cable or Phone wire from LAN1 LRE-101 to UTP port of the
LAN2 LRE-101.
6. LNK LED will blink to illuminate at both LRE-101 units.

7. Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM:
LNK LED does not light up after wire is connected to the Long Reach port.
CHECKPOINT:
Please note you must use one LRE-101 in Master mode and the other LRE-101
in Slave mode to make connection to each other work.
SYMPTOM:
TP LED does not light after cable is connected to the port.
CHECKPOINT:
1.Verify you are using the Cat5e or better cable with RJ45 connector to
connect to the port.
2.If your device (like LAN card) supports auto-negotiation, please try to manu-
ally set at a xed speed of your device to solve this issue.
3.The LRE-101 and the connected device’s power are on or not.
4.The port’s cable is rmly seated in its connectors in the switch and in the
associated device.
5.The connecting cable is good and with the correct type.
6.The connecting device, including any network adapter, is functional.

8. FAQs
Q1: What is the best distance for LRE-101?
A1: In order to guarantee the stability and better quality of network, we
suggest the distance should not exceed 700m (Cat.5 UTP) and 1200m
(Phone wire).
