2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Electronics Model 2150 CopperLink modems provide high- speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PC’s, or any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device.

Operating in pairs, one Model 2150 is configured as the (L) Local unit located at one end of the LAN extension and the other Model 2150 is con- figured as the (R) Remote unit at the other end. The Model 2150 is config- ured as a L or R via the switch on the bottom of the unit. These units can automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2- wire voice-grade twisted-pair link. The data is passed transparently (unmodified) through the 2150s. The 2150s automatically add and delete MAC addresses, only passing packets across the CopperLINK link that are meant for the remote peered LAN.
