Introduction
The StarTech.com EOC110K Ethernet over Coax extender kit allows you to span a 10/100 network over extremely long distances (up to 1.2km) while still maintaining high speed network connectivity. Allowing Ethernet connections over existing Coaxial cable with little to no modification, providing a perfect solution for a broad range of applications, including connecting isolated user stations from the same or separate building, or overcoming infrastructure obstacles and distances (e.g. older stone/ concrete architecture) where new wiring or wireless may be impossible.

Installation
Hardware Installation
NOTE: Both of the converter boxes in the EOC110K kit are identical, so they can be installed at either end, in any order.
1. At one of the locations for the converter box, connect an RJ45 Ethernet cable from the existing Ethernet network or computer network adapter to the “LAN” port on the converter box.
2. Connect the coax cable to the “Link” F-Connector on the converter.
3. OPTIONAL: If also transmitting analog cable TV signals over the coax line, connect the CATV F-Connector to a TV or TV receiver. Digital cable
TV signals are not supported.
4. Connect the included power adapter. The power LED should light up solid. The LAN Link/Act LED should light up solid when successfully connected to an Ethernet device on the “LAN” port.
5. Setup additional converter boxes by following the same Steps 1~4 for each location.
6. Once all units are setup, they should be able to automatically locate one another over the coax cabling. The Coax Link and Sync LEDs should stay solid once communication is established. The Coax Link LED will flash during communication.
7. The devices plugged into the “LAN” ports should now be able to communicate with one another freely.
Driver Installation
No driver or software installation is required for these converters on any connected computer systems.
