IP Camera-end Installation
The Smart Choice for Transmission Solutions

The MaxiiCopper Mini Model Vi2400A is a very compact data transmission
device that extends full-duplex High-Speed Ethernet over existing coax
infrastructures. It extends 10BaseT signals up to 5,000 ft (1,524m) and
100BaseT up to 1,800 ft (548m). It can fit in most camera housings and
junction boxes. With Pass Through PoE (PTP™), it can handle up to 30W
PoE power. It employs
MaxiiCopper
™
innovative and unique Ethernet
extension technology that is designed to take full advantage of high-band-
width networking cables and maintain a full-duplex 10 or 100Mb/s Ethernet
connection up to the maximum range with minimum transmission error and
latency. Vi2400A can connect multiple remote network devices such as
Mega-pixel IP cameras or VoIP to a central LAN switching fabric with ease.
Its automatic dual-rate capability feature balances the best possible network
throughput and long-reach distance.
The Vi2400A is a transmitter device and needs to be deployed on the
camera end. The data rate between the remote and central locations is
automatically set based on the distance. It is equipped with LEDs to provide
link status and configured data rate. No IP setting or configurations are
required and it is completely transparent to the corporate IP network and
higher layer protocols. The Coax cable needs to be point to point without
any branches and multiple segments can be joined together using barrel
connectors.
Important Safety Warning
- Ground the unit through the earth ground screw.
- Connect the IP camera RJ45 connector to the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port
of Vi2400A using a standard Cat5/6 cable of maximum 100 m in length.
- Connect one end of the long coax cable to the BNC connector of
Vi2400A.
The link LED on the 10/100 connector should be “ON” to indicate proper
connection between the camera and Vi2400A.
Ethernet Switch/NVR-end Installation
- Use a Vi2401A/Vi2404A/Vi2408A or Vi2416A on the receiving side.
- If using a Vi2401A set the Master/Slave dip switch to “Slave” mode and
Set the Remote/Local switch to Local.
- Connect the RJ45 connector of the Ethernet switch to the 10/100BaseT
Ethernet port of Vi2401A using a standard Cat5/6 cable of maximum
100 m in length.
- Connect one end of the long coax cable to the BNC connector of Vi24xxA.
The link LED on the 10/100 Ethernet connector should be “ON” to indicate
proper connection between the switch and Vi24xxA. Also the Traffic LED
on the Coax side should be on and flashing to indicate proper connection.
While the Link LED, Orange for 100BaseT and Green for 10BaseT, in a
steady state will indicate confirmed connection between extenders.
