PRELIMINARY RELEASE
*** This is a confidential document. Do not distribute. ***
Warning: Never power up a unit without proper cabling and attenuation. You must have at least
60 dB of attenuation between RuralConnect® units. Failure to do so could result in system
damage that may void the warranty.
2.9.1.
Test Cable Set
The bench-testing cable set (“RC-TECH-KIT”) will allow you to
bench test a Basestation with two CPEs. Connect the units with
the supplied cables and connectors. This consists of a set of
coax jumper cables (one for each unit), an F-type splitter and
five 19 dB attenuators (one for the Basestation, two for each
CPE).
2.9.2.
Setting up the Bench
Use the supplied yellow Ethernet patch cable to connect the
radio’s Ethernet port to the Base controller board Ethernet port
as shown in Figure 4.
For Internet access, connect the Basestation unit to a DHCP-
enabled network via a standard Ethernet cable. Plug the
Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port nearest to the power jack.

the “Out” connection of a
POE injector as shown
