6.3.2 Fastback Networks’ Articulating Bracket - Fastback Networks offers an articulating mount that can be
mounted on walls or masts and adjusted up to + 45 degrees in elevation and azimuth in 15 degree
increments. The Articulating Mount has a plate that attaches to IBR and a part that attaches to the wall or
mast. An articulating knuckle provides freedom of movement for positioning and pointing IBR. The diagram
below is a guide for assembling the articulating mount and attaching it to IBR.
6.4 Power & Ethernet Connections
When IBR has been securely mounted, connect a PoE
+
source to port ge0.
Include a secured drip loop for all Ethernet connections to IBR. The loop will provide some strain relief to the
RJ-45 connection and prevent water from flowing along the cable to the connector.
The power indicator LED will turn green when power is applied. If the PoE
+
source is also connected to an
Ethernet source, data will flow through IBR’s Ethernet port ge0.
If the power indicator LED does not illuminate when the power connection is made, consider the following:
 Is the RJ-45 connector securely inserted into both the PoE
+
source and IBR?
 Is power applied to the PoE
+
source? Check the indicator lights on the PoE
+
source if available.
 Are the cables of the proper type (CAT5E or CAT6)?
 Are the cables in good working order? (Cables should be certified using a Byte Brothers, Fluke, or
similar certifier.)
6.5 Fabricating an Ethernet Cable
The RJ-45 Ethernet connectors on IBR will mate with the GT225360-00 connector from GT Contact Co. LTD.
An exploded view of the connector is shown below.
