Internal Use Only—Beta Draft
.
The RS4000 works in conjunction with a wideband RF combination omni directional
(WRC/OD) indoor antenna or a 180-degree directional indoor antenna. Only one
antenna is needed for simultaneous operation of all radios of an RS4000 in both the
2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The antenna must be connected to the Radio Switch using
any one of the low-loss antenna cables provided in the antenna packaging.
The following table lists the key hardware features of the RS4000.
Note:
PoE must be provided on the first Ethernet connector (ETH1); the antenna
cannot operate correctly without that power source. Power to the second
Ethernet connector (ETH2 ) is optional; if not connected, two of the
radios will not operate.
