DIP Switch

The EoC Converter provides a selectable 2-position DIP switch. When switching to “Master” , it supports PtMP, meaning it can be one master and more than one slave with BNC T connector.

DIP	Function
Master	The LRE-101C is functioned as a Master.
Slave	The LRE-101C is functioned as a Slave.

By default, the 2-position DIP switch is set in the “Master” position and is operated as “CO”. To operate, slide the DIP 1 switch to the “Slave” position. Just slide it to whatever position you prefer to fulfill your application requirement

Power Information

The LRE-101C requires 5V DC, 2A power input, which conforms to the bundled AC adapter. Should you have the issue of power connection, contact your local sales representative.

In some areas, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your EoC Converter from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the EoC Converter or the power adapter.

Installations

Wall-mount Installation

Step 1 : Find a suitable wall to mount the LRE-101C.
Step 2 : Screw two screws on the w

Step 3 : Hang the LRE-101C on the screws from the wall.
Step 4 : Repeat Chapter 2.4 Power Information on power supply to the LRE- 101C.

Before mounting the device to the wall, please check the location of the electrical outlet and the length of the Ethernet cable.

Chassis Installation and Rack Mounting

To install the EoC Converter in a 10-inch or 19-inch Converter Chassis with standard rack, follow the instructions described below.
Step 1: Place your LRE-101C on a hard flat surface, with the front panel positioned towards your front side.
Step 2: Carefully slide in the module until it is fully and firmly fitted into the slot of the converter chassis.

Step 3: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Converter Chassis with supplied screws attached to the package.
Step 4: After the brackets are attached to the Converter Chassis, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack.
Step 5: Proceed with Step 4 and Step 5 of the 4.1 Installation section to connect the network cabling and supply power to your Converter Chassis.

You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets.
Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would Caution invalidate your warranty.

Optional DIN-rail Installation

There are two DIN-rail holes on the left side of the LRE-101C that allows to be easily installed by DIN-rail mounting. PLANET optional DIN-rail mounting kit – RKE-DIN — can be ordered separately. Refer to the following steps for the DIN-rail mounting of the LRE-101C:

Step 1: Screw the DIN rail on the LRE-101C.

Step 2 : Now slide the DIN rail into the track.

Step 3: Check whether the DIN rail is tightly on the track.

You must use the screws supplied with the mounting brackets. Damage caused to the parts by using incorrect screws would invalidate your warranty.

Applications

The EoC Converter does not require any software configuration. Users can immediately use any feature of this product simply by attaching the cables and turning the power on. There are some key limitations on the EoC Converter. Please check the following items.

Point-to-Point Application — LAN to LAN Connection

One set of the EoC Converter could be used to link two local area networks that are located in different places. Through the coaxial cable, it could set up a 100Mbps backbone, but one EoC Converter must be Master (CO mode) and the other one is Slave (CPE mode

Point to Point Application

Connecting Standalone PC

Refer to the following procedures to set up the LRE-101C LAN to LAN connection.

[LAN1] Set the LRE-101C in LAN 1 to be in the Master mode from the DIP switch.
[LAN2] Set the LRE-101C in LAN 2 to be in the Slave mode from the DIP switch.
Power on the LRE-101C Master and Slave at both sides by connecting its power source.
Master or Slave LED will illuminate correspondingly.
Connect coaxial cable from LAN1 LRE-101C to BNC port of the LAN2 LRE-101C.
LNK LED will blink to illuminate at both LRE-101C units.
Connect the LRE-101C Ethernet LAN port to other network device via regular Cat5e UTP cable.

LRE-101C Point to Multi-point Application (IP surveillance)

Building an IP surveillance system

Refer to the following procedure to set up an IP surveillance system with many pairs of the LRE-101C:

Set the LRE-101C to be in the Master or Slave mode from the DIP switch on the rear panel.
Power on the LRE-101C by connecting its power source.
Power LED will illuminate.
Connect coaxial cable to the Long Reach ports of two LRE-101C units.
LNK LED will illuminate and blink.
Connect Ethernet port to IP cameras via regular Cat. 5, 5e or 6 cable.
Install the NVR and monitor and connect to one Ethernet switch.
You can get data transmissions from all IP cameras.

Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM:
LNK LED does not light up after wire is connected to the Long Reach port.
CHECKPOINT:
Please note you must use one LRE-101C in Master mode and the other LRE-101C in Slave mode to make connection to each other work
SYMPTOM:
TP LED does not light after cable is connected to the port.
CHECKPOINT:

Verify you are using the Cat5e or better cable with RJ45 connector to connect to the port.
If your device (like LAN card) supports auto-negotiation, please try to manually set at a fixed speed of your device to solve this issue.
The LRE-101C and the connected device’s power are on or not.
The port’s cable is firmly seated in its connectors in the switch and in the associated device
The connecting cable is good and with the correct type.
The connecting device, including any network adapter, is functional.
