Table 3.1 - FM3500 ENDO Boot/Link Status LEDs Color Scheme
Powering the unit
The FM3500 ENDO is provided with a 48V Passive PoE Injector and can be also powered with a
standard IEEE802.3af PoE (e.g. using a compatible switch).
To minimize power losses, it is recommended to install the PoE injector as close as possible to the FM
radio. The maximum suggested distance is 50ft /15m.
In order to secure proper grounding for the radio and to get a reliable connectivity, it is strongly
recommended to use shielded CAT5/6 cables and connectors.
3.2 Use Shielded Cables
Please note that only professional outdoor-rated shielded cables must be used in conjunction with the
FM radios. Fig. 3.2 is an explanatory example of a proper termination of a shielded cable. The inner
jacket must be placed to form a contact with the shielded Ethernet ports of the FM radio to prevent any
ESD issue. Shielded RJ45 Ethernet connectors must also be used. Once the cabling is done properly,
the RJ45 connectors can be plugged into the relative Ethernet port of the FM radio and the bottom can
be locked using the self-retaining screws on the sides of each FM radio.

3.3 Factory Default Hardware Reset
The FM radios can be reset to factory default using the proper RESET button present at the bottom of
the unit. To reset the radio to factory default settings, power up the unit and wait approximately 40
seconds for the unit to boot up. Once the unit is up and running, press the reset button for 7 seconds.
The radio will restore the factory default settings and automatically reboot. The LEDs will blink
when the unit receives the reset to factory default signal. After the reset, the default IP address of
192.168.0.10/255.255.255.0 is restored and the administrator password is set to admin. The RESET
button can also be used to reboot the unit when pressed for 1 second.
