Operation Manual
Introduction
The ER8500U and ER16500U are fully functional POE network switches with 802.3AT power output on each of the
network ports and can operate with all standard Ethernet devices up to 100 meters. Additionally, when used with the
ET1500U transmitter the system allows for cable runs of 600 meters or 2000 feet and will supply both a network
connection and POE power.
The ER8500 has 8 network ports and 1 LAN port and the ER16500 has 16 network ports
and 2 LAN ports.
Each of the network ports support standard Ethernet 10/100Mb network traffic and the LAN ports
support standard Ethernet 10/100/1000Mb network traffic. The LAN ports do not supply POE.

2) Connect up the network outputs of the unit. The network ports are designed for connection with standard Ethernet
cables. The network ports are 10/100Mb speed and will run at the highest possible speed given the wire conditions.
This system normally operates at 100Mb over 600 meters of cable. We refer to the cable between the Head-end and
the transmitter as the Link cable. The speed of the connection is indicated on the network port of the unit. A
transmitter or other network device must be connected at the other end of the network cable for the connection speed
to be indicated.
