Vi2308A is a revolutionary data transmission device that
extends full-duplex High-Speed Ethernet over existing or new UTP
infrastructures. It extends 10BaseT signals up to 3,000 ft. (909M) and
100BaseT up to 2,100 ft. (640m). It employs MaxiiCopper, an innovative and
unique Ethernet extension technology, that is designed to take full advan-
tage of high-bandwidth UTP cables and maintain a full-duplex 10 or 100
Mb/s Ethernet connection up to the maximum range - with minimum
transmission error and latency. Its dual-rate capability provides an easy way
to balance the best possible network throughput and long-reach distance
design. The Vi2308A 8 ports. 1 pair of UTP can be used for both 10BaseT
and 100BaseT signals. 4 Pair is restricted to 100BaseT use.
The Vi2308A needs to be deployed along with single port Vi23xxA on the
remote end of each UTP cable. It is equipped with LEDs to provide link
status and configured data rate for each port. It is completely transparent to
the corporate IP network and higher layer protocols and requires no IP
programming or other configurations.
The Vi2308A is offered in 19 inch 1U height enclosure for rack-mount or
wall-mount applications. It is an ideal for medium to large scale IT network-
ing or digital CCTV projects.
Important Safety Warning
Ethernet Switch/NVR-end Installation
- Connect the chassis ground screw to a solid earth ground.
- Connect the RJ45 connector of the Ethernet switch to the 10/100BaseT
Ethernet port of Vi2308A using a standard Cat5/6 cable of maximum 100 m
in length.
- Connect long UTP cables to the RJ45 connectors of the Vi2308A.
- Connect the 12V power supply to the power connector of the extender hub.
The link LED on the 10/100 Ethernet connectors should be “ON” to indicate
proper connection between the switch and Ethernet ports of Vi2308A. While
the Link LED, Orange for 100BaseT and Green for 10BaseT, on the
extended side, in a steady state will indicate confirmed connection between
extenders.
- Read and keep these instructions.
- Heed all warnings.
- Follow all instructions.
- Do not use this apparatus near water.
- Clean only with a dry cloth.
- Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
- This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should conform to all local
codes.
- DO NOT bundle UTP or UTP signals in the same conduit as high-voltage wiring.
- To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose these products to rain, moisture,
dripping or splashing.
- No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on Vigitron equipment.
- DO NOT install the unit in a place where the operating ambient temperature exceeds 75°C.
- Make sure that the external power supply output voltage is in the recommended range.
- Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
apparatus (including DVRs and NVRs) that produce heat.
- Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at power source,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
- Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
- Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
- Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus
has been damaged in any way, such as when a power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled, objects have fallen inside the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
- The main plug is used as the disconnect device and shall remain readily operable.
WARNING! - To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
this apparatus to rain or moisture. This apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall
be placed on the apparatus.
WARNING! - This apparatus is a Class I product. This product must
be connected to a mains socket outlet thru an AC to DC Power supply.
WARNING! - The mains plug is used as the disconnect device and
shall remain readily operable.
- If you like to power the unit using a local power supply connect the 12VDC
power supply to the power connector of the Vi2300A/Vi2301A. A power
adapter connector is provided to simplify connection.
- If no power supply is plugged in the unit will use PoE. When using PoE the
camera has to be powered by PoE also.
- Connect the IP camera RJ45 connector to the “10/100BaseT Ethernet” port
of Vi2300A/Vi2301A using a standard Cat5/6 cable of maximum 100 m in length.
- Connect one end of the long UTP cable to the “Extended Ethernet” RJ45
connector of Vi2300A/Vi2301A .
The link LED on the 10/100 connector should be “ON” to indicate proper
connection between the camera and Vi2300A/Vi2301A .
