3.1.1 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The device comes with one 1000 BASE-T ethernet port with configurable Tx modes and speeds.

• Ethernet Port/ PoE IN and Data

The Gigabit Ethernet Port (PoE IN and Data) of the device allows the user to connect to the LAN by using Cat5e Ethernet

cable, and also power ON the device by using the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector supplied with the product package.

• The device receives (36 - 56) V DC via a STP Cat5e cable connected between the PoE and the device.

• Ethernet Port supports the following features:

1. Auto MDI-X, auto configuration and fixed speed/duplex configurations.

2. Jumbo frames of size up to 9 k bytes.

4 5 GHz Antenna Ports (A3 and A4) • A provision to connect external antenna in MIMO 4x4

mode (in addition to A1 and A2).

• Connect A3 and A4 to antenna Slant Polarity ports.

Notes: Antenna ports A3 and A4 are only available

for Edge MP-1015-BS3 and MP-1025-BS3

5 GPS Connector • A provision to connect passive GPS antenna for device

positioning.

Notes: GPS antenna port is only available for Edge

MP-1015-BS3 and MP-1025-BS3

6 RSSI Display • Displays boot up information (see Signal LED

Behavior section).

• Displays RSSI signal level from weak (1 LED) to Strong

(5 LED) once the RF link is established.

7 Mounting Holes • A provision to connect 1000-UMK mounting kit

(provided with Edge MP-1015-BS3 and

MP-1025-BS3) or 10000-UMK mounting kit

(optional).

8 Hose Clamp Slits • A provision to attach hose clamps (1/2 inch or 12 mm

width) for pole mounting.

Important: Edge device includes a dual polarization 15 dBi panel antenna which is enabled by default. To use

external antenna instead, switch to external antenna mode via BlueConnect application or via Web

GUI. Refer to the antenna switching procedure in the Device Management Guide.

Recommended Ethernet Cable Specifications

Type

Cat5e, Cat6, STP, 24 AWG, UL rated, Shielded, UV Resistant and outdoor-rated

Impedance 100 ohms

Cable Length 330 feet / 100 meters

: The total length of cabling between the Personal Computer and the device cannot

exceed 100 meters (includes cable from the Personal Computer to the PoE, and the

cable from the PoE to the device). Due to DC power requirements, the maximum cable

length between the PoE Injector and the device should be less than 100 meters.
