General Rules
Before making any connections to the modem, please note the following rules:
•
Ethernet Port (RJ-45)
All network connections to the modem Ethernet port must be made using Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps,
Category 3, 4 UTP for 10Mbps.
No more than 100 meters of cabling may be use between the MUX or HUB and an end node.
•
Line Port (RJ-45 / Terminal block)
All Home network connections to the line port must use 22 ~ 26 gauge phone wiring. RJ-45 and terminal
block is shared and cannot be used together at the same time.
•
We do not recommend using 28 gauge or above phone line.
Connecting the Master / Slave Ethernet extender with remote power
The master Ethernet extender with remote power two power adapters must be connected first before switch can
be powered on. Make sure to use AC power cord provided with your device as other AC power cord with grounding pin
will make the distance reach shorter.
The master / slave Ethernet extender with remote power has one Ethernet port
which support connection to Ethernet operation. The devices attached to these ports must support auto-negotiation or
10Base-T OR 100Base-TX unless they will always operate at half-duplex. Slave Ethernet extender with remote power
fast Ethernet port is used to connect to external power splitter(POE) or build in power splitter of networking devices
such as IP CAM, VOIP, wireless AP, sensor scanner or other power splitter (PD side) more than 15.4W.
The line port has 2 connectors: RJ-45 and terminal block. It is used to connect from master Ethernet extender with
remote power using single pair phone cable to slave Ethernet extender with remote power side (point to point solution).
Take note that master / slave Ethernet extender with remote power line port cannot be used at the same time. Either
RJ-45 port is connected
or terminal block is connected using straight connection
(Figure1)
or cross-over connection
