Description
The Patton Electronics CL1214 CopperLink modems provide high-speed LAN connections between peered
Ethernet LANs, remote PCs, or any other network-enabled 10/100Base-T device.
Operating in pairs, one CL1214 is configured as the (L) Local unit located at one end of the LAN extension
and the other CL1214 is configured as the (R) Remote unit at the other end. The CL1214 is configured as a L
or R via the switch on the bottom of the unit. These units can automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multi
-
casts, and frames across a 2-wire voice-grade twisted-pair or BNC link. The data is passed transparently
(unmodified) through the CL1214s. The CL1214s automatically add and delete MAC addresses, only passing
packets across the CopperLink link that are meant for the remote peered LAN.
Figure 1. Typical application
The pair of CL1214 models work together to create a transparent extension between two peered Ethernet
LANs using twisted pair (2-wire), Cat5+, or 75-ohm BNC.
Figure 1 shows a typical point-to-point applica-
tion.
