The rubber caps are not weatherproof, and all unused antenna connectors must
be terminated. Before you install the device, you must remove the rubber caps,
attach a 50 Ohm terminator (not included) to each unused antenna terminator
and correctly weatherize from the cable to the device chassis.
For information about cables and accessories approved for use with Firetide
devices, refer to the

Ground screw
HotPort 5020-M mesh nodes must be connected to earth ground. Braided copper
strap is the preferred material. The ground screw is on the bottom panel between
the Ethernet port and the DC power connector.
LEDs
The panel that has the Firetide logo has these LEDs:
•
Radio 1 and Radio 2, which indicate radio status
LED behavior
Meaning
Off
Radio is not active.
Steady green color
Radio is working correctly.
•
Power, which is a steady green color when the device receives power. The LED
is dark when the node does not receive power. The HotPort 5020-M device
requires 15V.
Caution!
Do not use port 2 or port 3 of a HotPort 7020 mesh node to
power a HotPort 5020 node. A HotPort 5020 node needs PoE+ or
802.3at, and the ports of a HotPort 7020 mesh node are PoE 802.3af
compliant only.
Caution!
You cannot use a HotPort 7020 power source (12V) to power to
a HotPort 5020-M mesh node, which requires 15V.
Reset button and pressure relief valve
The reset button is on the bottom panel and is covered by a weatherproof plastic
pressure relief valve.
