Hardware Installation
Verification
Power Verification
Prior to applying power to the AP, confirm with a Digital Voltmeter (DVM) that the DC voltage
is correct at the PoE injector. The DC voltage should be between 48 VDC and 54 VDC.
Note:
The AP its self is not polarity sensitive, however, it is recommended that the barrel of
the PoE power plug be at ground potential if the power system is grounded.
AP Antenna and GPS Cable DVM Test
Prior to weather sealing the AP antenna and GPS antenna connectors, disconnect both cables at
both ends and verify continuity between center pins and verify that neither cable is shorted.
Antenna System Sweep Testing
The combined TRN antenna system (including the antenna, cables, and lightning suppressor)
should be “sweep tested” for Return Loss and Attenuation using an antenna analyzer such as an
Anritsu Site Master™. The antenna system should be swept across the frequencies of interest,
2.400 GHz – 2.480 GHz. The Return Loss should be greater than 17 dB across the frequency
range and the total attenuation should be as low as possible, generally less than 5 dB. The
antenna system attenuation (loss) should be noted for use when configuring the AP within the
EMS system.
