3.2 Cabling pathways and conduit
The main communication method between the ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station and the backend
software is the wired Ethernet. Prior to installation on site the following must be complete:
Source and provide PoE 100Base-TX PD Max 13W device for powering the ITS-950 ParQSense
Base Station over Ethernet cable.
Install PoE device within vicinity of the ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station installation location.
Provide WAN and establish communication with ISP
Provide and install outdoor rated Cat5 cable and pathway from WAN location to PoE device.
Provide and install outdoor rated Cat5 cable and pathway from PoE device to proposed ITS-950
ParQSense Base Station location.
The ITS-950 ParQSense Base Stations may also be connected via cellular communication. The ITS-950
ParQSense Base Stations are equipped with a SIM card slot for mobile SIM card insertion. Details on this
communication method will be provided in the next revision to this document.
3.3 Mounting location
The ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station can be pole mounted or wall mounted. Prior to going on site to
install the ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station it should be determined where the base station should be
installed based on a site survey and direction by a Q-Free representative. In addition, the following should
also be complete prior to ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station installation:
Verify proposed location has the capability to mount the ITS-950 ParQSense Base Station
