Section 2 Hardware Overview
This section provides detail about each radio in the M900S family. Each radio in the M900S family includes built-in, electronically
switchable dual-polarized antennas as well as a reverse polarity SMA connector for the attachment of an external antenna. All units
are designed for outdoor installation, powered by Power-over-Ethernet (POE) for ease of installation. The M900S Access Point, as
well as the M900S subscriber units provide channels of operation within the 900 MHz ISM band which spans from 902 MHz to 928
MHz. Default channel spacing is 6 MHz, allowing for 4 non-overlapping channels.
M900S AP and SU Hardware Components
Each radio comes equipped with the radio itself, a power-over-Ethernet (PoE) J-Box, an AC adapter, and mounting hardware. The
Access5830 AP (part #M900S-AP) also includes a serial programming cable.
