Joining Guide
EE2CL Extended Ethernet 200 Series
Introduction
Welcome to KBC Networks’ Joining Guide for the EE2CL, 10/100 Ethernet line
driver. If two or more Master EE2CL units are connected to the same switch within
a network, the units will need to be ‘joined’ to each other. This document provides
details of the joining process.
Tool Required for Joining
You will need a small paper-clip partially straightened; this is provided with the
unit.
Joining EE2CL units
1.
Remove all the packaging materials and labels.
2.
Choose an EE2CL unit (unit ‘A’); this can be any of the units purchased.
3.
Using a coaxial jumper lead, connect the chosen EE2CL unit (unit ‘A’) to one of the other units (unit ‘B’)
by attaching one EE2CL unit to each end of the coaxial cable.
4.
Connect the 48Vdc power supply to the EE2CL unit ‘A’.
5.
Check that the blue LEDs on both EE2CL units are lit.
6.
Wait 20 seconds. Check that the green BNC LEDs on both EE2CL are ‘off’.
Note:
If either of the green BNC LEDs remains ‘on’ then that unit has already been ‘joined’ to another EE2CL
unit in a different group and will need to be ‘un-joined’ before being ‘joined’ to the new unit. See the ‘un-
joining’ instructions below.
7.
On the EE2CL unit ‘A’ (which is connected to the PSU) use the straightened paper-clip to depress the
push button for 2 seconds. This button can be found slightly above the PoE LED.
8.
The blue Power LED will flash.
9.
Depress the same push-button on the EE2CL unit ‘B’ for 2 seconds.
10.
Wait for 10 seconds. The two units will now try to establish an encrypted communication.
11.
Once the blue Power LEDs return to a steady condition the units have been joined.
12.
If more EE2CL units need to be ‘joined’, disconnect EE2CL unit ‘B’ from EE2CL unit ‘A’. Connect the new
‘un-joined’ EE2CL unit ‘C’ to EE2CL unit ‘A’.
13.
Repeat the joining instructions until all units in the group are ‘joined’ to the EE2CL unit ‘A’.
