3.1 CONNECTING THE TWISTED-PAIR LINE INTERFACE

The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for

external use and shall be rated for the proper applica-

tion with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-

CAUTION perature, ﬂammability, and mechanical serviceability.

The Model 2158B supports communication between two peer Ethernet LAN sites over a distance of up to 3,750 ft (1.1 km) over 24 AWG (0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire.

Note Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on the environment and type/gauge of wire used.

Follow the steps below to connect the Model 2158B CopperLINK Inter- faces.

Note The Model 2158B units work in pairs. One of the units must be conﬁgured as a (L) Local unit, and the other unit must be conﬁg- ured as a (R) Remote unit. It does not matter which end is the L and which is the R. The link is always initiated by the R unit. As long as the L unit is powered on, the R unit can establish a link by being powered on or by having its power reset.
