Note: Shown with a MIMO panel 
antenna connected to Radio 1. 

 
 

 

a.

 

Put the correct end of the power cable into the PoE injector. 

b.

 

Put the plug end of the power cord into a grounded AC power source. 

c.

 

Attach an Ethernet cable from the wireless node to the IN port. 

d.

 

Attach an Ethernet cable from the out port to the Ethernet 
connector of the node. 

6.

 

Attach all other cables including the AC power cable if you do not use the PoE 
assembly. 

7.

 

Attach 50 Ohm terminators on all unused antenna connectors. 

8.

 

From the antenna cable to the device enclosure make each terminated 
antenna connector weatherproof. Use electrical tape and butyl mastic or 
silicone tape. 

9.

 

Supply AC power to the mesh node. 
If PoE is connected correctly, the LED becomes a steady green color. 
After the nodes boot, they automatically make connections to each other. 

The nodes use the configuration that you created when you staged the 
network. 

10.

 

Make the PoE connection weatherproof. See “Weatherproof procedures” on 

page 35. 

 

Caution! 

The PoE injector is not for outdoor use. Do not expose the 

PoE injector to rain or direct sun.
