Connections  

Ensure that power and grounding are properly wired and installed before making 
additional connections. The included grounding hardware allows connection of a 
grounding lug to the M5 receptacle near the lower-left corner of the radio. Place 
the wave washer next to the head of the screw. Place flat washers on both sides 
of the grounding lug. Another grounding connection is available on the power 
injector. 
After establishing the radio link, connect the Ethernet services matching 
configurations made in the Exalt GUI. Use a ping test to verify connectivity 
across Ethernet.  

Indicators   

The PoE/ETH1 connector inside the radios have LEDs to indicate status: 

 

The bottom LED is solid green when power is properly applied. 

 

The top LED is solid when an Ethernet link is established, and blinks when 
Ethernet traffic is present.
