Vi2400A Ethernet Extender over Coax Installation Manual

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-bandwidth 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.

IP Camera-end Installation

• 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.

Ethernet Switch/NVR-end Installation (Cont.)

• If the Vi2400A receives power using PoE, make certain the power adaptor is not connected. The Vi2400A and camera will receive power from the PSE source.
• If a PSE source such as a PoE network switch is not available, external power must be provided to the Vi2400A.

CAUTION:

If the external power adaptor is connected with no power applied the Vi2400A will not reference to a PoE source and the system will be inoperative.
