Quick Start Guide
This quick start guide describes how to install and use the Hardened
Ethernet Extender. This is the Hardened Ethernet Extender of choice for
harsh environments constrained by space.
Installation
ED3638T (Transmitter): This is a PoL (Power over Link) transmitter. Data and power
can be delivered at the same time through coaxial cable to turn on and communicate
with ED3638R (Receiver) via BNC interface.
ED3638R (Receiver): This is a PoL (Power over Link) Receiver. ED3638R (Receiver)
can be powered either by ED3638T (Transmitter) through coaxial cable or power supply.
The Ethernet port supports IEEE802.3at PoE/PSE for fulfilling PoE/PD application.
<Warning>
Removes the device power before installation.
Removes the device power before any I/O and DIP switch configuration.
Do not connect ED3638T and ED3638R to the same power source. Devices
may be damaged due to power loop back through the PoL linked via coaxial
cable.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Enable Installation
Ensures all power sources are disconnected from ED3638T and ED3638R.
Ensures ED3638T PoL (Power over Link) DIP switch is in On position (Up position).
Sets ED3638T Type DIP switch to Perf (Performance, Up position) to acquire better
Line Speed (but poor noise immunity). Or sets Type DIP switch of ED3638T to Std
(Standard, Down position) to acquire standard Line Speed (but better noise
immunity).
Checks if ED3638R Mode is set to Rmt on DIP switch (Remote, Up position).
Connects one end of the coaxial cable to BNC interface of the ED3638T and the
other end to BNC interface of the ED3638R.
Connects power source to ED3638T.
Data and power can be delivered from ED3638T, and at the same time through
coaxial cable to turn on and communicate with ED3638R.
<Note> The equipment is designed for building installation and not intended to be
connected to exposed (outside plant) networks including campus environment or
equivalent.
PoL (Power over Link) Mode Disable Installation
For longer distance (e.g. over 1.4km) extension application, ED3638R may not be
able to receive power from ED3638T. A separate power may be applied on
ED3638R.
Ensures all power sources are disconnected from ED3638T and ED3638R.
Ensures ED3638T PoL (Power over Link) DIP switch is in Off position (Down
position).
Sets ED3638T Type DIP switch to Perf (Performance, Up position) to acquire better
Line Speed (but poor noise immunity). Or sets Type DIP switch of ED3638T to Std
(Standard, Down position) to acquire standard Line Speed (but better noise
immunity).
