In its released position, the MDI-X switch enables straight-through con-
nections (see Figure 6) or in its inserted position the MDI-X switch per-
forms the crossover function (see Figure 7 on page 12).

3.3 CONNECTING POWER
The Model 2157R does not have a power switch, so it powers up as soon
as it is plugged in.
An external AC or DC power supply is available separately. This connec-
tion is made via the barrel jack on the rear panel of the Model 2157R. No
configuration is necessary for the power supply (See Appendix B on
page 19 for domestic and international power supply and cord options).
3.4 POWER INPUT CONNECTOR
The
CopperLink Ethernet Extender comes with an AC or DC power supply.
• The supplies connection to the CopperLink Ethernet Extender is a
2.5 mm barrel receptacle with the center conductor positive (see
Figure 6).
The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for
external use and shall be rated for the proper applica-
tion with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-
perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
