Troubleshooting Ethernet Issues
Connectivity issue can be attributed to a number of things. Establishing basic Ethernet
connectivity it the first step. You will need to be familiar with your existing network
configuration and how Ethernet traffic is intended to pass, in order to troubleshoot these
issues.
Cross-over versus Straight-through Cables
Wired connections require that you use cable, rated Category 5 (Cat5) or better.
You can use either a cross-over or straight-through cable when connecting the
AN100U/UX to your computer or router, since the sector controller can auto-sense the
cable polarity.
The outdoor subscriber unit requires a straight-through cable when it is being connected
to a switch/hub, and a cross-over cable if it is being connected directly to a computer.
The appropriate power-over-Ethernet (PoE) cable must be used to connect the outdoor
subscriber units (SUO) to its power injector, located indoors. The connection at the outdoor
unit must be weather-proofed as outlined in the Outdoor Wireless Access Subscriber
Modem (SUO) Installation Guidelines.
A standard Category 5 Ethernet cable can be used to connect the power injector to the
network device.
