Prior to performing a remote link install, test your setup and equipment.
Connect your LAN to the Ethernet port of the primary 890 unit and power adapter.
Using the provided telephone patch cord, connect each end of the cord into the
Line port on both 890 units. Connect your remote end device to the Ethernet port
of the remote 890 unit and power adapter. Power on all equipment and test your
connectivity and throughput. The Power, Activity and Link lights will initially come
on. After the Sync light illuminates green your units are in sync and connectivity is
established.
* Note: The innermost pins (3 & 4) are used for transport for both voice and data. The
pins (3 & 4) are flipped in straight though cabling. If using the provided telephone
patch cords, this flip is already performed. You can cut the RJ-11 head of each
telephone patch cord and crimp on a RJ-45 head using the inside pins (4 & 5) to be
able to attach to your existing CAT-5 Ethernet segment if needed.
If the Alarm light illuminates red, then the wiring between each 890 unit is not able
to provide synchronization between each end. Items to check are reversed wire
between the 890s, firm connection of telephone patch cord in each 890 unit and
power applied and each 890 unit switched on. A DSL filter can clean up any noise
on the line that may affect the data loosing connection (RED Alarm light flickering)
from time to time. Any standard DSL filter can clean up this interference to a degree
and rectify this issue. Other possible interference can be attributed to Telco
punchdown blocks acting as an antenna. If using telephone wiring, make sure there
are no (0) Telco blocks in the wiring running from 890 to 890. Use Telco but clips to
bridge around any Telco blocks.
Once testing is completed, the remote 890 unit can be located to its permanent location.
Insert the telephone patch cord into the Line port Insert into the back of the remote
890 unit and the other end into the wallplate connected to your remote pair of
backbone wiring. You can also cut the head off the telephone patch cord and
punch down the one pair on the Telco block for the remote pair of backbone wiring.
Connect your remote end device to the Ethernet port of the remote 890 unit and
power adapter. Perform the same operation on the primary 890 unit for connecting
cabling and power to the unit. Make sure the backbone wiring pair (1-pair) match
each other on each end of your connection. Power on all equipment and test your
connectivity and throughput.
