3.
Connect the cable to the RDL-2000 Ethernet port by inserting the RJ-45 plug into
the mating RDL-2000 Ethernet port connector.
Ethernet Plug Must 'Click' into Socket
Inserting the RJ-45 plug into the mating socket should result in an audible 'click'
from the locking mechanism. Ensure the connector is locked in position. Do not
use cables where the locking tab is broken or has been removed!

It is strongly recommended to test the Ethernet cable by connecting
the RDL-2000 to a PoE and verifying connectivity (e.g., ping from a connected
PC) before sealing and weatherproofing the RDL-2000.
4.
Weatherproof the RDL-2000 Ethernet port.
Position the grommet and clamping plate against the Ethernet port opening and
install the two NC-6 screws with spring washers to seal the port (see Figure 19).
Figure 19: Installation - Ethernet Port Weatherproofing
Apply adequate weatherproofing (putty and tape) to protect the Ethernet ports. While the
Ethernet connection is weatherproof, it is always advisable to provide additional
weatherproofing. Use the same procedure as for the RF cable connections (refer to
section 4.3.4: Weatherproofing RF Connectors on page 24).
