4.4 Step 3: Ethernet Connections
An outdoor Ethernet cable is provided to connect the RDL-2000 to the local network.
This section describes how to connect and weatherproof the Ethernet cable.
Important -- RDL-2000 Ethernet Cables
The maximum total length of the Ethernet cable is 100 m (328 ft). For example, 98 m
(322 ft) from the RDL-2000 to the PoE and an additional 2 m (6 ft) from the PoE to the
network equipment.
4.4.1 Ethernet Ports
The RDL-2000 has two Ethernet ports (female RJ-45 connectors) used to receive DC
power from the PoE and exchange data with the local Ethernet network. The ports
provide identical functions. Refer to Figure 16: Installation - RDL-2000 Ethernet Ports for
the port locations.
Ethernet Port 1: This port is sealed at the factory. Use Ethernet Port 2.
Ethernet Port 2: Use this Ethernet port for normal operation.
The RDL-2000 Ethernet port uses a custom pinout for the PoE signals. All
Ethernet cables from the indoor PoE to the outdoor RDL-2000 must be terminated to
match the specifications in this manual.

4.4.2 Terminating the Ethernet Cable
The outdoor Ethernet cable is supplied with a single RJ-45 connector for terminating to
the indoor PoE. The system installer must prepare this cable by:
1.
Install
the Ethernet port weatherproof grommet and clamp onto the cable.
2.
Terminate the cable using the
supplied RJ-45 connector.
3.
Connect the cable to the RDL-2000 Ethernet port.
4.
Weatherproof the RDL-2000 Ethernet port.
