/44 Mx2wire+ User Manual: Foreword Foreword Dear MOBOTIX customer, Congratulations on your decision to select an innovative quality product ‘Made in Germany’! The 2nd-generation Mx2wire+ media converter (available as of 11/2011) allows you to transform a two-wire cable into a network cable including PoE power supply with a maximum power output of 13 watts (PoE class 3) in just a few minutes. Minimal installation effort is required to replace an analog telephone with an IP telephone, for instance.
/44 Enjoy The Unique Advantages Offered By Mx2wire+ In many houses television, telephone and other distribution networks based on two-wire cables are already installed, but no longer used. For example, a previously cable-bound telephone system may have been replaced by a wireless one. Existing, unused cables can now be quickly connected to Mx2wire+ and transformed into network connections throughout an entire building.
/44 Mx2wire+ User Manual: Introduction 1 INTRODUCTION Using the Mx2wire+ system from MOBOTIX, an Ethernet network with PoE can be established using existing cables up to 500 m. This means that you can utilize a two-wire cable that is no longer in use (analog telephone line, antenna cable or bell wire, for instance) to connect a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet device such as a PC, Wi-Fi, IP camera, IP telephone or IP door station without having to lay any new cables or implement any other constructional measures.
/44 1.1 Two-Wire Cables A two-wire cable is usually a two-wire copper cable whose two wires are twisted together (twisted pair). A classic two-wire cable is an analog telephone wire with a wire diameter of 0.8 mm, which, in terms of quality (according to the ISO/IEC 11801 standard), corresponds to a category 1 cable for voice transmission. MX2wire+ can also be operated using untwisted cables that have at least two wires forming a physical connection between the two Mx2wire+ units.
/44 Mx2wire+ User Manual: Introduction 1.2 Automatic Device Configuration When data and power are sent via the two-wire cable, a (feeding) Mx2wire+ unit functions as the sender while the other unit functions as the (data) receiver. The sender is the Mx2wire+ unit that is supplied directly from the PoE switch. Communication between the units is possible in both directions, as the ‘sender’ and ‘receiver’ roles always configure themselves automatically.
/44 Application Examples 1.3 Application Examples a) Exchanging an analog camera for an IP camera Anyone who would like to benefit from the numerous cost and technological advantages of a high-resolution MOBOTIX IP camera, but has an analog camera already installed, can continue to conveniently use the camera's coaxial cable as a two-wire cable. A standard power supply (48 V DC, 600 mA) whose voltage outputs are connected to an Mx2wire+ unit is used for the PoE power supply for the IP camera.
/44 Mx2wire+ User Manual: Introduction b) Connecting a PC to the Internet in a separate apartment An Internet connection exists on the ground floor of a house and a PC in a separate apartment within the house is supposed to be added. The concrete walls and/or distance make a network extension via WLAN impossible. In this example, Mx2wire+ is simply connected to the two wires of the analog telephone line that is no longer being used.
/44 Application Examples c) Connecting a Wi-Fi router to a remote DSL connection DSL, data and power Old telephone line The DSL connection is on the ground floor. Several PCs located two floors higher are to be connected to this. WLAN cannot be used over the entire distance. The distance from the router on the ground floor to the second floor can be bridged by Mx2wire+ and an analog telephone line, for example.
/44 Mx2wire+ User Manual: Introduction d) Connecting an IP camera to a PC Mx2wire+ allows an old power line to be used to connect a modern, PoE-supplied IP camera including audio/video and switch functions. A standard PoE switch/router or the compact MX-NPA-PoE set including crossover function (as shown here in the example) is used for the PoE power supply. A patch cable (at least Cat5) is used to connect the PC, which serves to control the camera, directly to the PoE switch.
/44 Application Examples e) Replacing an analog telephone with an IP video phone DSL, data and power Old telephone line A DSL connection and a PC can be found on the ground floor. An analog telephone line extends upstairs from the ground floor. Mx2wire+ is used to transform the telephone line into a network cable that can transport data as well as power. The old telephones can easily be replaced with IP video phones that are also supplied with power from the PoE switch via Mx2wire+.
/44 Mx2wire+ User Manual: Introduction f) Connecting several network end devices via Mx2wire+ An Internet connection exists on the ground floor. An office with various network devices (PCs, printers and IP video phones) is to be set up on the first floor. Mx2wire+ is connected to the two wires of the analog telephone line that is no longer used.
/44 Performance Data 1.4 Overview: Performance Data The data rates shown in the tables are net data rates, also referred to as the payload, which are given in Mbps. In contrast to the gross data rates (including the data load for the operation of the system) that are usually provided when the performance data of DSL connections is specified, for instance, the amount of data shown here is the actual amount of data that is fully available to the end device operated on the Mx2wire+ receiver unit.

/44 Mounting Instructions 2.4 Preparing The Installation Determining The Installation Location The Mx2wire+ media converter must always be installed indoors on a wall or ceiling protected from weather and moisture. If in doubt, use the normal functional conditions of a standard socket without cover as a reference. Note Do not block or cover the holes in the front panel (air circulation).
/44 Mx2wire+ User Manual: Installation Preparing the Standard In-Wall Socket In general, the existing in-wall socket of the two-wire cable continues to be used for Mx2wire+. Otherwise, an in-wall socket must be fitted first. Make sure that the socket you use is as flush with the wall as possible, so that you can install the respective Mx2wire+ unit properly. Make sure that the socket and Mx2wire+ unit are aligned correctly in the wall.
/44 Caution Please avoid all direct contact with the circuit board (ESD) and only touch the edge of the board in order to prevent damage arising now or later and to avoid reducing the service life. The in-wall socket used for Mx2wire+ must have an installation depth of at least 30 mm and should be flush with the wall. min. 30 mm Note If you do not have a standard in-wall socket available, you can also use the supplied cavity socket for flush mounting.
/44 Mx2wire+ User Manual: Installation Preparing The Cavity Socket Mx2wire+ can also be mounted to cavity walls (e.g., plasterboard up to a thickness of 35 mm) using either the supplied cavity socket or an existing socket. Push the cavity socket into the prepared drill hole (68 mm) in the cavity wall and secure it by tightening the clamp screws. The metal claws automatically pop out and clamp the cavity socket firmly to the rear of the wall.
Mx2wire+ User Manual: Contents 2.5 27/44 Set The PoE Class Of The Power Supply Mx2wire+ always logs on as a PoE class 0 device (0.44–12.95 W) and supplies the connected end device with up to 7.5 W of power (up to PoE class 2), depending on cable length and type, when using a PoE class 0 injector/switch. End devices can be supplied with up to 13 W of power (up to PoE class 3) when using a more powerful PoE+ class 4 injector/switch (12.95–25.5 W).
