Specifications

Single DS3 Connection

A single line connection can be established between a single port Subscriber unit and

either a single port or dual port ETHX-2224-DS3 Provider unit. Likewise, a single line

connection can be established between a single port Provider unit and either a single

port or dual port ETHX-2214-DS3 Subscriber unit.

 Procedure

1. Plug two coax cables, one for transmit (Tx) and one for receive (Rx), into the DS3

BNC 75 ohm port on the back of the network extender.

2. After connecting the other ends of the DS3 cables to suitable transport or

multiplexing equipment, verify that there is a DS3 connection to the ETHX-22x4

unit by confirming that the DS3 LINK/ALARM LED on the front of the network

extender flashes green to indicate the connection is established and operational.

Refer to Table 2 on page 12 for a description of the DS3 LED indicators

Dual DS3 Loop Bonded Connections

Using two DS3 lines for one network connection (loop bonding) effectively doubles the

speed and data throughput capability of the network extender. Two DS3 lines also act

as a backup should one of the lines become disabled.

 Procedure

1. Plug the DS3 cables into the DS3 BNC 75 ohm connectors on the back of the

network extender. Each DS3 connection requires two coax cables; one for

transmit (Tx) and one for receive (Rx). Either port can be connected first.

2. After connecting the other ends of the DS3 cables to suitable transport or

multiplexing equipment, verify that there are DS3 connections to the ETHX-22x4

unit by confirming that the DS3 LINK/ALARM LEDs on the front of the network

extender flashes green to indicate that the connections are established and

operational. Refer to Table 2 on page 12 for a description of the DS3 LED

indicators
