ABOUT THIS GUIDE This guide provides all the information needed to install and use the Enable-IT 860 Ethernet Extender Kit. This guide is intended for use by technicians who are responsible for installing and setting up network equipment. Consequently, it is assumed that the installer has a basic working knowledge of LANs (Local Area Networks) and voice telecom wiring.
INTRODUCING THE 860C ETHERNET EXTENDER KIT Congratulations on purchasing the Enable-IT’s 860C Ethernet Extender Kit — the simplest method to stretch your broadband solutions for in-building deployment in commercial office buildings, hotels, and multi-tenant residential units. The 860C Extended Ethernet Unit offers the Lowest Cost Solution in a simple design for rapid install using existing RG58/RG6 coaxial cable and 2-pair Category wiring or better.
Key Benefits The following list identifies the 860C Extended Ethernet Unit key benefits. • Dramatic cost reduction over any competing technology and includes a (4) Port 10/100 LAN switch on each end. • Broadband technology that delivers in-building Ethernet access over 2 pair of existing UTP Category 3, 4, 5, 5e or 6 wiring up to 6,000’, whether spare or actively in use for analog or digital voice. This means no new wiring is required.
Typical Use Applications Enable-IT 860C Extended Ethernet Units are usually installed into telephone wiring infrastructures where extension of backbone services is required and expensive fiber options are prohibitive. The 860C Extended Ethernet Units allow a standard Ethernet segment to be deployed quickly over existing 2-pair Category Copper Wiring in combination with existing POTS voice signals.
INSTALLING THE 860C EXTENDED ETHERNET KIT The Enable-IT 860C Extended Ethernet Units have a distance restriction of 6,000ft or 1,828m over 2-pair of Category 3 up to Category 5e / CAT6 wiring from device extension to device extension. Therefore quick, simple site surveys and installation planning are highly recommended. This chapter describes the recommended installation process for the Enable-IT 860C Extended Ethernet Unit.
Unpacking the Enable-IT 860C Extended Ethernet Kit Carefully remove the Enable-IT 860C Extended Ethernet Kits all packing materials from the box. Verify that the items listed below are present. Make sure that the equipment supplied matches what you ordered. If any items are missing or damaged, please contact Enable-IT or your distributor for assistance.
Mounting the Enable-IT 860C Extended Ethernet Units The Enable-IT 860C Extended Ethernet Kits are designed for quick wall mounting. Choose a location to mount each of the Enable-IT 860C’s where the maximum distance does not exceed 6,000ft or 1,829m total between devices to be connected. When wall-mounting the Enable-IT 860C Extended Ethernet Kit it is recommended that you use the appropriate screw anchors for your mounting surface.
For troubleshooting, first examine the backbone wiring pair and make sure you have solid connections. The Interlink Sync LED will be lit solid Green with rapid pulsing on each 860C unit to show proper connection and pairing. If the Interlink Sync LED Link is flashing slow to fast and never goes solid …. Then follow the steps below: 1) Make sure your wiring is straight through and not connected to any Telco punch down block; If so remove from the block and use Telco butt clips to bridge wire.
