This  STP cable run shall not exceed 90m.  The total Cat5 ( outdoor) length between 
the SS and Client switch/gateway shall not exceed 100m. 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

NOTE

: the unit will power up immediately when connected. To power the unit off, remove the cable. 

There is no power switch on either the SS or the power adapter. 
 
Attach the customer network to the connector marked IN.

The operations panel 

The SS is an integrated radio transceiver/Ethernet bridge that receives power and network access from 
a single RJ-45 port. Remove the weather cap to reveal this port and the unit's operations panel. 

1.

 

RJ45: connects the unit to the included Power over Ethernet module 

2.

 

RST: recessed reset switch – use a paper clip or other narrow tool to reset the unit. 

3.

 

SIGNAL: displays the alignment index or received signal strength, depending on mode. See 

Signal LEDs

 below 

4.

 

NET: Illuminates when an Ethernet link has been established.  Flashes during Ethernet network 
activity. 

5.

 

PWR: Illuminates when the unit is powered. Note: the unit will always be on when connected to 
a power source. 

 
 

 
 
 
e.

 

Signal LEDs

 

The SS Signal LEDs operate in two different modes:  Alignment Mode and RSSI mode.  The 
Alignment Mode is used to optimize the alignment of the SS antenna with respect to the BSU.  The 
RSSI mode is used as an absolute indication of received signal strength.   
 

Note:  In  both the Alignment and RSSI modes, the Signal LEDs will blink if there is no RF 
connection to the BS, and will remain solid once an RF link has been established.
