Powering the Outdoor Wireless Antenna
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a method of connecting network devices through Ethernet cable where power and
data are passed along a single cable. It is therefore a convenient method of powering the Outdoor Wireless
Antenna. The Antenna Power Supply provides Power over Ethernet to the Outdoor Wireless Antenna.
Note
–
The Outdoor Wireless Antenna Power supply is packaged and supplied separately.
To power the Outdoor Wireless Antenna:
1
The Ethernet cable connected to the Outdoor Wireless Antenna should terminate into an Ethernet wall jack
that the technician installs in the home interior, then a separate Ethernet jumper cable is needed to run from
the Ethernet wall jack to the Ethernet p
ort labelled “WALL” on the Powe
r supply.
2
Use another Ethernet cable (not included in the package) to connect the Wi-Fi Gateway
to the “Router” port
of the POE-03.
3
Connect the power cable to the POE-03 and then plug it in to an available wall socket. Examine the Power
and ANTENNA LEDs of the POE-03 and compare them with the LED table below. When the POWER LED is
red and ANTENNA LED is green, the Outdoor Wireless Antenna is correctly powered and connected.
