APPLICATIONS
The GDI Communications XC-RP300 provides high-speed Ethernet connection between LANs,
remote PC’s or any other network enabled 10/100BaseT/TX device. Typical point-to-point
operation consists of an XC-LT300 located at one end of the LAN extension and an XC-NT300
located at the other end. Data is passed transparently such that the remote LAN appears to be
co-located with the local network. The two networks can be separated by up to 4,000 feet.
The XC-RP300 extends that distance by an additional 4,000 feet. The XC-RP300 offers up to
three local Ethernet access ports allowing Ethernet devices to be attached as “drop offs” at the
midpoint of the link. By adding another XC-RP300 the distance between the end points can be
extended an additional 4,000 feet. Figure 1 shows a typical application.

Typical application
The XC-NT300 is well suited to surveillance applications where cameras with digital output
capability are placed in strategic locations for observation. The information from the camera can
be transmitted to a central collection point. Having the ability to pass voice communication along
with high-speed data permits camera positioning information to be sent without interfering with
the data. Using an XC-RP300 allows the cameras to placed an additional 4,000 feet from the
central collection point. Figure 2 shows a camera application
