Important Safety Warning
- Set S1 (10/100 BaseT) dip switch of Vi2301 to the appropriate rate based
on the required maximum data rate and maximum distance.
- Set S2 (Master/Slave) dip switch to “Master” mode.
- Set S3 (1/4 pair) dip switch ON for 1-pair and OFF for 4-pair operation.
- Connect the IP camera RJ45 connector to the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port
of Vi2301 using a standard Cat5/6 cable of maximum 100 m in length.
- Connect one end of the long UTP cable to the RJ45 connector of Vi2301.
The link LED on the 10/100 connector should be “ON” to indicate proper
connection between the camera and Vi2301.
Ethernet Switch/NVR-end Installation
- Set the S2 Master/Slave dip switch of Vi2301 to “Slave” mode.
- Set S1 and S3 the same as the camera-end setting.
- Connect the RJ45 connector of the Ethernet switch to the 10/100BaseT
Ethernet port of Vi2301 using a standard Cat5/6 cable of maximum 100 m
in length.
- Connect one end of the long UTP cable to the RJ-45 connector of Vi2301.
The link LED on the 10/100 Ethernet connector should be “ON” to indicate
proper connection between the switch and Vi2301. While the Link LED,
Orange for 100BaseT and Green for 10BaseT, in a steady state will
indicate confirmed connection between extenders.

Up to 3,000 ft.
(914 m) UTP
The MaxiiCopper Model Vi2301 is a revolutionary data transmission device
that extends full-duplex High-Speed Ethernet over existing UTP infrastruc-
tures. It extends 10BaseT signals up to 3,000 ft (914 m), 100BaseT up to
2,100 ft (640m) for 802.3 af and 800 ft (242m) for 802.3 at. It employs
MaxiiCopper
innovative and unique Ethernet extension technology that is
designed to take full advantage of high-bandwidth networking cables and
maintain a full-duplex 10 or 100 Mb/s Ethernet connection up to the
maximum range with minimum transmission error and latency.
The Vi2301 can connect multiple remote network devices such as Mega-
pixel IP cameras or VoIP to a central LAN switching fabric with ease. Its
dual-rate capability feature provides an easy way to balance the best
possible network throughput and long-reach distance design.
The Vi2301 is a transceiver device and it needs to be deployed on both
ends of the UTP cable as master and slave devices respectfully via setting a
dip switch. A second dip switch sets the data rate between the remote and
central locations. 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 UTP cable needs to be point to point without any branches.
Multiple segments can be joined together using UTP couplers.
