ER1651U

16 Port IP Video Extender Over Single Twisted Pair

With Built-In Gigabit Layer 2 Switch with

EtherStretch

Description

The ER1651U is another component of the NITEK cutting edge EtherStretch line. Our EtherStretch solution allows for the utilization of existing twisted pair cable infrastructure to transmit data from IP cameras and other network devices over the given copper media well beyond the 100 meter or 328 feet networking distance limitation.

The ER1651U is a Ethernet extending rack mounted sixteen port receiver unit with built-in Gigabit switching capabilities. The unit requires very little installation time and absolutely no set up or configuration. Independently the

ER1651U will work as a fully functional Layer 2 switch. Additionally, the ER1651U and associated ET1551U transmitters (up to 16) can quickly turn ordinary Twisted Pairs into a series of high speed network communication pathways. When used with remotely powered ET1551U transmitters, the system will allow for cable runs of up to

500m/1600ft supplying both a network connection and PoE power.

The ER1651U is completely transparent to the network thus requiring no IP or MAC addressing. Simply connect your network devices to the transmitter network port along with the existing cables to the receiver and the system quickly begins communicating. LED indicators show the status and data speed of network communications along with Power and Trouble confirmation.

NITEK EtherStretch ER1651U reliably extends network communications to overcome cable distance limitations offering connectivity to devices in locations traditional networking does not allow. The ER1651U is ideal for retrofitting existing installations. The rack mounted unit is robustly constructed of molded steel casing with appropriate built-in cooling and ventilation.

Installation Considerations

Wire and Cable Recommendations: The ER1651U is designed for use with up to sixteen (16) Pairs of Twisted Wire, compatible with all Category cabling (Cat3, Cat5, Cat5e and Cat6). The quality of which must be consistent with any reasonably serviceable cable condition. That is free from damage as in cuts, breaks, or cracks to the outer covering and insulated shielding which may compromise the signal conductivity of the cable.

For more specific information regarding wire types, gauges, and proper installation techniques please call Tech Support at 1-(800)528-4343 USA or (847)259-8900 (outside US) .

Ethernet & PoE: The ER1651U is designed to receive up to 100Mbps (per transmitter) of Ethernet data and transmit up to 1 Gigabit of aggregate LAN traffic. Additionally, the ER1651U provides per port sourcing power to operate the transmitter (ET1551U). The transmitter, using the optional power input can support both 15.4W (802.3af) and 25.5W (802.3at) power schemes at a maximum distance of 1,600ft./500m. Before considering this solution be sure that the cable involved does not exceed the recommended maximum lengths. If the cable length is indeterminate at the time of installation, we recommend the use of a time domain reflectometer (TDR) or other method to determine length of unknown cable distance estimates.

Ears

The ER1651U is to be rack mounted. Use the included mounting ears when rack mounting the unit, and be sure to follow these guide lines. a. Operating Ambient - Do not install the unit in an assembly where the ambient temperature could exceed

52°C (125°F). NOTE: the ambient temperature in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly could greatly exceed

the ambient temperature outside that assembly. b. Air-Flow – Leave space on the front of the unit for airflow into the cooling fans and some space on top of the

unit for air to exit the unit. Adequate air flow is required for safe operation. c. Mechanical Loading – The mounting ears were designed for two ears to support one unit. Other

configurations, such as mounting other equipment directly on top of the unit or using only one mounting ear,

could cause a hazardous condition due to uneven or excessive mechanical loading.

NOTE: Use all four mounting screws to properly secure the unit to the rack.

Installation & Setup

Equipment Requirements & Mounting: The process for employing the ER1651U is rather quick and simple. A common topology involves up to sixteen (16) existing Twisted Pair cables up to 500m/1,600ft, up to sixteen (16)

ET1551U transmitters, up to sixteen (16) IP cameras or other peripheral network devices. The ET1551U transmitter is both 802.3af and 802.3at compliant, in conjunction with a PS48 power supply. That is it produces 15.4W of

802.3af as well as 25.4W of 802.3at PoE+ power for proper attached device operation.

The method for facilitating Ethernet communication over twisted pair cable starts with connecting the ER1651U with up to sixteen (16) twisted wire pairs via the four plug-in terminal blocks. The IP camera / PD establish connectivity to ET1551U via RJ45 jacks and a CAT5e/CAT6 patch cords. The ER1651U powers itself and all attached

ET1551U transmitters, providing that the IP devices are self powered. In case of the IP device not having its’ own power source, a PS48 power supply must accompany the corresponding ET1551U transmitter. The IP data from the PD is transmitted from the ET1551U over each individual Twisted Pair cable to the rack mounted ER1651U.

The aggregate PD data is transmitted to the greater LAN or WAN via the gigabit LAN port labeled and located on the back of the NITEK PSE. The ER1651U is a Layer 2 switch and with 1 “smart” LAN port. If the Trouble LED is flashing slowly it will indicate that the network has a loop in it and data is cascading.

Upon power up the devices will undergo initialization and auto-configuration processes (also see LED Indicator chart on page 7) which may take a number of seconds (time variations are device/installation/topology parameter dependent) to complete before PoE and Ethernet communication commences. For optimal performance referring to the PoE/distance chart and adhering to the IP camera/PD operational specifications is recommended. If issues arise during the installation process please see the “Trouble Shooting Tips” section. You may also contact our web based live tech support at: www.nitek.net or call 1-(800)528-4343 USA or 1-(847)259-8900 (other) in order to speak with one of our engineers directly.

Transmitter-end Installation

ET1551U Units System

At the camera location securely mount the transmitter.

Find the twisted pair cable from the head-end and make sure it is properly terminated. Connect the wires of the twisted pair cable to the “Link Port” of the transmitter, beware of the polarity of the connection. If the Head-end unit is powered up it will sense the connection to the transmitter unit and turn on the power. This will be indicated by the green POWER LED on the “Network Port”. After several minutes the green 10/100 (upper) LED at the “Link Port” will turn-on to tell you that the Head-end has connected with the transmitter unit. The camera does not need to be connected for the transmitter to communicate with the Head-end.

Finally, connect a camera or other Ethernet device to the transmitter “Network Port”. The IP camera or other

Ethernet device should now be ready to operate. If the camera needs PoE power please refer to the next section for how to power the ET1551 when PoE power is needed. Otherwise continue installing the remaining transmitters as needed.

Note: The Head-end unit is only designed to supply power for the ET1551U transmitter unit. While some cameras at short distances may operate with PoE form the head-end unit, it maybe insufficient for

Optional Hookup for High Power PoE Devices

ET1551U Units

Note: This installation is for connecting to devices that do not have their own separate power supply and need to be powered via PoE.

In some cases the PoE device connected at the transmitter end needs more power than can be supported over a long Twisted Pair run. You can usually identify these cases by watching the POWER LED of the transmitter, located on the “Network Port”. If the power light cycles ON for less then 1 second and then is off for 3 or 4 seconds when the PoE device is connected, but it turns ON and operates normally without a PoE device connected, this would indicate you are having a current limit problem.

At the camera location securely mount the ET1551 transmitter. The ET1551 can provide full 802.3at power to operate most IP cameras and other PoE devices, when powered directly from a 48VDC supply. Either use the PS48

Power Supply from Nitek or other 48VDC power supply to operate the units. The illustration below shows the use of the PS48 supply. Other DC power supplies can be used with the supplied power connector if desired but must be

48 to 56 VDC for proper operation.
