BaseBox series
The Basebox is a solid and waterproof outdoor device based on the RB912 wireless router model. It has high
power wireless and one Gigabit Ethernet connector, which support MDI-X auto detection. The device has two
RPSMA connectors for connecting external antennas. The device is packaged with a power adapter, a PoE injector,
and two mounting loops. Extra places for more RP-SMA connectors are available on the unit in this case.
First use
1. Choose your powering solution, please see
2. Remove the lid, and connect the antenna to the RP-SMA connectors. Bend the cable with a large radius,
so that it will be able to exit through the cable openings in the bottom of the lid. Put the lid back, with the
small arrow to the front of the case.
3. Open the device bottom door, to reveal the Ethernet connector.

Mounting
The device can be mounted in several ways: wall, ceiling, pole. To tighten the device to a pole, use the provided
metal hose clamp. Guide the loop around the device through the provided holes, and around the pole where it will
be mounted. You should avoid connecting a loose Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port, secure the cable to a wall or
the pole, so that the cable weight is not pulling the port. It is recommended to secure the Ethernet cable less than
2m from the device. This is to ensure that the cable doesn't damage the port by its weight, or doesn't fall out. It is
possible to connect grounding wires to the PCB board mounting holes, but to do this, you must remove the PCB
from the case.
Warning! This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 380 cm between the device
and your body. Operation of this equipment in the residential environment could cause radio interference.
Powering

•
Direct-input power jack (5.5mm outside and 2mm inside, female, pin positive plug) accepts 24 V DC.
•
Ethernet port accepts passive Power over Ethernet 18-57 V DC (Please compensate voltage for loss due
to cable length)
