4.1 INSTALLATION PLANNING
This section provides tips for selecting an appropriate site, choosing an
antenna system, and reducing the chance of harmful interference.
NOTE:
To prevent moisture from entering the radio, do not mount the
radio with the cable connectors pointing up. Also, dress all
cables to prevent moisture from running along the cables and
into the radio.
4.1.1 General Requirements
There are three main requirements for installing a transceiver—ade-
quate and stable primary power, a good antenna system, and the correct
interface between the transceiver and the data device. Figure 4-1 shows
a typical Remote Gateway installation.
NOTE:
The iNET network port supports 10BaseT connections, but
does not support 100BaseT connections. This should not
present a problem because most hubs/switches auto-switch
between 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections. Confirm that
your hub/switch is capable of auto-switching data rates.
To prevent Ethernet traffic from degrading iNET performance,
place the iNET in a segment, or behind routers.
