Note

Before mounting the device to the wall, please check the location of the electrical outlet and the length of the Ethernet cable.

4.2 Chassis Installation and Rack Mounting

To install the EoC Converter in a 10-inch or 19-inch Converter Chassis with standard rack, follow the instructions described below.

Step 1: Place your LRE-101C on a hard flat surface, with the front panel positioned towards your front side.

Step 2: Carefully slide in the module until it is fully and firmly fitted into the slot of the converter chassis.

Step 3: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Converter Chassis with supplied screws attached to the package.

Step 4: After the brackets are attached to the Converter Chassis, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack.

Step 5: Proceed with Step 4 and Step 5 of the 4.1 Installation section to connect the network cabling and supply power to your Converter Chassis.

Caution

You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty.

4.3 Optional DIN-rail Installation

There are two DIN-rail holes on the left side of the LRE-101C that allows to be easily installed by DIN-rail mounting. PLANET optional DIN-rail mounting kit - RKE-DIN -- can be ordered separately. Refer to the following steps for the DIN-rail mounting of the LRE-101C:

Step 1: Screw the DIN rail on the LRE-101C.

PLINET

Step 2: Now slide the DIN rail into the track.

PLRNET

Step 3: Check whether the DIN rail is tightly on the track.

You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty.

5. Applications

The EoC Converter does not require any software configuration. Users can immediately use any feature of this product simply by attaching the cables and turning the power on. There are some key limitations on the EoC Converter. Please check the following items.

5.1 Point-to-Point Application -- LAN to LAN Connection

One set of the EoC Converter could be used to link two local area networks that are located in different places. Through the coaxial cable, it could set up a 100Mbps backbone, but one EoC Converter must be Master (CO mode) and the other one is Slave (CPE mode).

7. Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM:

LNK LED does not light up after wire is connected to the Long Reach port.

CHECKPOINT:

Please note you must use one LRE-101C in Master mode and the other LRE-101C in Slave mode to make connection to each other work

SYMPTOM:

TP LED does not light after cable is connected to the port.

CHECKPOINT:

1. Verify you are using the Cat5e or better cable with RJ45 connector to connect to the port.
2. If your device (like LAN card) supports auto-negotiation, please try to manually set at a fixed speed of your device to solve this issue.
3. The LRE-101C and the connected device's power are on or not.
4. The port's cable is firmly seated in its connectors in the switch and in the associated device.
5. The connecting cable is good and with the correct type.
6. The connecting device, including any network adapter, is functional.

8. FAQs

Q1: What is the best distance for LRE-101C?

A1: In order to guarantee the stability and better quality of network, we suggest the distance should not exceed 700m (Cat.5 UTP) and 1200m (Phone wire).
