A-6000 High Speed, Long Range Ethernet Wireless Bridge

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

This chapter explains the physical ports and how to connect the hardware of A-6000.

2.1 Hardware Description

The content of the A-6000 are described below.

1. The outdoor unit

The outdoor unit has one antenna port, one data/power port and one console port. The antenna port is N-Type female connector used to connect to the omni-directional antenna or to the RF cable then to the flat panel antenna. The data/power port is used to link to the cable from the power injector. When the outdoor unit and the network/power injector are connected together, the outdoor unit is turned on and initialized if the network/power injector in the indoor is also installed successfully. The console port is only used at the initial setup and is used to connect to the antenna alignment kit. The outward appearance of the outdoor unit are shown on Fig.2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.
