CAT5 Lightning/Surge Protection
To provide for human safety and for the safety of connected network equipment, it is highly
recommended to place a weatherproof lightning suppression device at the egress point where the
CAT5 cable(s) enter the building, shelter, or cabinet.
To protect the radio equipment, install a weatherproof lightning suppression device near the radio for
all connected CAT5 cables.
For the Power/Ethernet cable, specific voltage requirements must be met. The following devices are
the only devices currently recommended:
• Polyphaser IXG-05
• Transtector ALPU 1101-959
• Transtector ALPU 1101-898
• Transtector ALPU-1000BT-R
• Transtector ALPU-EXLT
• Transtector ALPU-90v
Generally, use the short CAT5 cable supplied with each radio for the short connection between the
radio and the first arrestor. Use bulk outdoor-rated CAT5 cable for the longer run between arrestors,
and indoor- or outdoor-rated cable with a standard CAT5 termination for the connection from the
egress arrestor and power injector.
If the radio arrestor is deleted from the design, Exalt resellers can supply a longer cable with the proper
weatherproof connector for the connection from the radio to the egress arrestor.
Apply this same method for the TDM connections. There are no special requirements for lightning
arrestors. Vendors, such as Transtector and Polyphaser, offer single and multiple TDM weatherproof
arrestors. Note that each connector on the radio can carry up to 2 TDM (Time Division Multiplexing)
connections.
Reset to Critical Factory Settings
If necessary, the radio terminal may be reset to critical factory settings. This may be necessary if the IP
address and/or passwords for the system are not known. All other configurations are left at their
current settings. If a complete default factory configuration is desired, load the Default Configuration
File into the system, as described in System Configuration Page
.
The following parameters are configured after a reset to critical factory settings:
• IP Address = 10.0.0.1
• IP Mask = 255.0.0.0
• IP Gateway = 0.0.0.0
• Administration password = password
• User password = password
• VLAN = disabled
Note: Use only outdoor-rated UV-resistant CAT5 cable. This cable must have an outer
diameter between 0.25"/6.35 mm and 0.31"/7.87mm. Belden 1300A is recommended.
Securely hand-tighten all connectors on the ODU to ensure a weatherproof seal.
