1.4 System Requirements
Installation of the Outdoor Wireless Client Bridge requires the following:
1.
A Windows-based PC/AT compatible computer or Ethernet
data device with an available RJ-45 Ethernet port to run the
configuration program or with TCP/IP connection to the
Ethernet network.
2.
A 10/100Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 Ethernet cable is connected to
Ethernet network.
3.
A RS-232 consol port cable is connected to PC/AT compatible
computer.
4.
An AC power outlet (100~240V, 50~60Hz) supplies the power.
1.5 Inline Power Injector (PoE)
The AirEther CB11 is equipped with an Inline Power Injector module. The
Inline Power Injector (PoE) delivers both data and power to AirEther CB11
unit via a signal Ethernet cable, and gives the following benefits to improve
the performance vs. installation cost ratio.
1.
This works great in areas where you may not have power
and/or Ethernet easily accessible, like house roof.
2.
This also allows you to place the AirEther CB11 unit closer to
the antenna, more easily thus reducing signal loss over
antenna cabling.
3.
Ethernet signal travels well over CAT 5 cable but 2.4GHz
signal doesn't do as well over antenna cabling.
4.
Ethernet cabling is much cheaper than Antenna cabling.
