Proscend 701epi Long Reach Ethernet Extenders Installation Guide

PROSCEND 701EPI Long Reach Ethernet Extenders

Overview

The 701EPI and 101EPI Long Reach Ethernet Extenders feature a pair of plug-n-play solution for carrying Ethernet traffic and power over Ethernet cables up to 800 meters. The 701CPI and 101CPI Ethernet-over-Coax Extenders deliver data and power over coaxial cables up to 1 km. The 701EPI and 701CPI are designed to locate at network sides where the 101EPI and 101CPI are located at the remote sides.

LFPT Behavior

Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT) is used for notifying the network administrator to get the long-distance cable status, as well as powering on and off the powered device located at the remote site. The following instructions explain the LFPT modes of DIP switches are in ON state for both the master 701EPI/701CPI and the remote 101EPI/101CPI devices.

1. The 701EPI/701CPI detects LINK DOWN at its LINE interface when the cable is broken, it will pass this status to the network administrator by triggering LINK DOWN at its LAN interface.
2. The 701EPI/701CPI detects LINK UP at its LINE interface when the cable is connected, it will pass this status to the network administrator by triggering LINK UP at its LAN interface.
3. The 701EPI/701CPI detects LINK DOWN at its LAN interface when the cable is broken or the network administrator acts LINK DOWN, it will pass this status to the 101EPI/101CPI by triggering LINK DOWN at its LINE interface.
4. The 101EPI/101CPI detects LINK DOWN at its LINE interface when the cable is broken or the 701EPI/701CPI acts LINK DOWN, it will turn off the PoE power output to the powered device connected to its LAN interface.
5. The 701EPI/701CPI detects LINK UP at its LAN interface when the cable is connected or the network administrator acts LINK UP, it will pass this status to the 101EPI/101CPI by triggering LINK UP at its LINE interface.
6. The 101EPI/101CPI detects LINK UP at its LINE interface when the cable is connected or the network administrator acts LINK UP, it will turn on the PoE power output to the powered device connected to its LAN interface.

Power Connection

• The power input interfaces of the 701EPI and 701CPI are the 2-pin terminal block and are provided the power input voltage 55 ~ 57 VDC from the power supply.
• Insert the positive and negative wires into V+ and V- contact on the terminal block and tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from being loosened.

Ground Connection

To prevent the effects of noise from electromagnetic interference (EMI), run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface before connecting the devices.

Wall Mounting

• STEP 1: At the rear side of the Ethernet Extender, use two screws to install the bracket, as shown in Figure 1.
  NOTE: Each screw is flat head M3 x 4 mm.
• STEP 2: Use the screws to attach the bracket of the Ethernet Extender for wall mounting, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.
  NOTE: These screws are not included in the package. The head of each screw is less than 7 mm in diameter, the shaft is less than 3 mm in diameter, and the length is less than 10 mm in diameter.

ATTENTION: Safety Warning

• Disconnect all power from devices before attempting installation.
• This device is intended for installation only in restricted access locations as defined where both these conditions apply:
  • Access is through the use of a lock or tool and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
  • Access can only be gained by service persons or by users who have been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and about any precautions that shall be taken.
• All-electric installations must be carried out in accordance with local and national regulations.
• Do not work on the system, connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
• The equipment must be connected to earth.
• The shield of RJ45 cables has to be connected to the same earth potential as the equipment.
• Please remove the ground connection lastly if you need to remove the device after installation.
• If the LINE interface is used for the connection between two buildings, all necessary protective measures must be ensured externally.
• This equipment relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 1A is used.
