 • Do not open the device when the power cord is con-
nected. For systems without a power switch and with-
out an external power adapter, line voltages are
WARNING present within the device when the power cord is con-
nected.
• For devices with an external power adapter, the power
adapter shall be a listed Limited Power Source The
mains outlet that is utilized to power the device shall
be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be eas-
ily accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker in
compliance with local regulatory requirements.
• For AC powered devices, ensure that the power cable
used meets all applicable standards for the country in
which it is to be installed.
• For AC powered devices which have 3 conductor power
plugs (L1, L2 & GND or Hot, Neutral & Safety/Protec-
tive Ground), the wall outlet (or socket) must have an
earth ground.
• For DC powered devices, ensure that the interconnect-
ing cables are rated for proper voltage, current, antici-
pated temperature, flammability, and mechanical
serviceability.
• WAN, LAN & PSTN ports (connections) may have haz-
ardous voltages present regardless of whether the
device is powered ON or OFF. PSTN relates to inter-
faces such as telephone lines, FXS, FXO, DSL, xDSL,
T1, E1, ISDN, Voice, etc. These are known as “hazard-
ous network voltages” and to avoid electric shock use
caution when working near these ports. When discon-
necting cables for these ports, detach the far end con-
nection first.
• Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect
cables during periods of lightning activity.

This device is NOT intended nor approved for connection

to the PSTN. It is intended only for connection to customer
premise equipment.
WARNING

In accordance with the requirements of council directive

2002/96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equip-
ment (WEEE), ensure that at end-of-life you separate this
product from other waste and scrap and deliver to the
WEEE collection system in your country for recycling.

 1.0 Configure the DIP Switches

The CL1214E has eight DIP switches (S1) for configuring the unit for a wide variety of
applications. Once the Cl1214E’s are properly installed, they should operate transpar-
ently. No user settings required.
Note Before applying power to the CL1214E, please review section 2.0,
“Power up the CL1214E Series” on page 5 to verify that the unit is con-
nected to the appropriate power source.

1.1 Configuring the Hardware DIP Switches

The DIP switches are externally accessible from the underside of the CL1214E.
Figure 1 shows the orientation of the DIP switches in the ON and OFF positions.

S1-5 Setting
ON 6dB
OFF 9dB

• 6dB: Original line noise protection with 6dB SNR

• 9dB: Better line noise protection with SNR up to 9dB

 2.0 Power up the CL1214E Series

The CL1214E Series comes with an external AC power supply (see figure 2).

Figure 2. Power Supply Installation

2.1 Models with external AC adapter

1. To connect the AC power supply, determine the positive lead and negative lead on
the power adapter.
2. Insert the positive lead into the opening on the terminal block labeled + and the
negative lead into the opening on the terminal block labeled -.
3. Tighten the screws on the block to secure the wires.
When applying direct DC power, it must be regulated 12 VDC ±5%, 1.0A minimum.
Center pin is +12V.

This device is not intended for use with power supplies

that provide high instantaneous current (for example:
lead acid batteries).
CAUTION

The CL1214E Series powers up as soon as it is connected to an AC power source—

there is no power switch.

2.2 Power up indication

Verify that the Power LED on the front panel (see figure 3) illuminates and remains lit.

Figure 3. CL1214E front panel

CopperLink 1214E Series Quick Start Guide 5
 3.0 Connect the CopperLink interface

1. Obtain single-twisted-pair cable with an RJ-45 plug connector at each end.

2. Plug one end of the cable into the RJ-45 socket (labeled Line) on the CL1214E.
Verify that the other end of the cable is connected to the Line port on the other
CL1214E and that the port is correctly configured.
3. When a link is established, the Line Link LED will turn on.

4.0 Connect the Ethernet port(s)

The RJ-45 ports labeled Eth 0 through Eth 3 are the Auto-MDIX 10/100Base-T inter-
face. These ports are designed to connect directly to a 10/100Base-T device or network.
You may connect this port to a hub or PC using a straight through or crossover cable
that is up to 328 ft (100 m) long.

1.2 Radio and TV Interference (FCC Part 15)

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and
used properly—that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions—may
cause interference to radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with
the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However,

there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the
equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by disconnecting the cables, try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-ori-
enting the receiving antenna, and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different
AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).
