Deployment Requirements
Weather and environmental considerations

The Array must be kept away from moisture and dusty conditions.

For outdoor use, a shaded location is preferable. The RDK includes a cover to shield
the Array from basic weather conditions.
The Array’s operating environment should meet these conditions:

0-55° C (32-131° F); 0-90% humidity, non-condensing
Location

Choose a flat, stable location that is central to your users, and where the tripod is not
likely to be knocked over. See the
Wi-Fi Array User’s Guide for more placement details.

The Array can be used outdoors—see Weather and environmental considerations .

The Array should typically be mounted about 9-10 feet off the ground on a fully
extended tripod, to provide a more unobstructed line-of-sight for the wireless signals.

Keep the unit away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise—at
least 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters). Common sources of RF noise include fluorescent lights,
power lines, electric motors, walkie-talkies, microwaves, refrigerators, and cordless
phones.

The Array should be sufficiently close to power and network connections. To use the
supplied cables, the Array must be within about 100 feet of the network connection. If
you supply your own Ethernet cables, the total length of cables from the network
connection to the PoGE module and then to the Array must not exceed 328 ft (100m).
Power
Use the supplied power injector module to power the Array. Plug the injector into a
100-240 VAC, 47-63Hz outlet. The injector must also be connected to a data network, and
it will then carry power and data traffic to the Array over a single Cat 5e cable. You may
also power some Array models directly from a 110-120 VAC outlet using the power cord.
Network connection
The Array requires a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps Ethernet connection to broadband
Internet service. The Array’s Ethernet interface will auto-negotiate to the correct speed
and settings. Be sure that the Ethernet connection uses auto-negotiation.
If the network has a DHCP server to assign an IP address to the Array, we recommend
that you have the network administrator assign you a reserved IP address (write it
down for later use).
