WIRELESS SETUP
Once the dome is installed and power is connected to it, the wireless master
unit must be installed. Below is the basic setup for the master RF unit. Please
see the antenna installation section for proper antenna usage.
BASIC SETUP
1. Plug in the AC Power to the Power over Ethernet Injectors
2. Plug in the CAT5 cable from each WIRELESS UNIT into the injectors.
(NOTE: This unit can use both crossover cable and straight patch through cables.)
3. Connect the Ethernet cable from each injector into the Ethernet.
4. Use site survey mode to orient the antenna direction, and if necessary
manually select the best channel

Master Wireless Unit
Each WIRELESS Master pair automatically selects the best radio channel,
encrypts the Ethernet traffic and transports the data wirelessly to and from
the wireless dome.
The wireless unit functions in place of an Ethernet cable and provides a
transparent wireless point-to-point Ethernet cable replacement. Crossover
cables are not necessary as the WIRELESS UNIT automatically senses the
device (client or switch).
LED display:
Once the unit is operational, you should see the following colors on the LEDs
of the wireless unit.
The WIRELESS UNIT has a 16 LED display (see above chart) to display the
status of the device.
