The Top-Panel LED
The radio node has one top-panel tricolor (RGB) LED to indicate power and status. This is the only LED visible
under normal operating conditions. When the radio node initially boots the LED cycles through a number of
colors and flashing behaviors until it is fully operational. Status indications: boot, normal, disabled, fault,
emergency call, radio node tracking.

Input Power
The radio node receives its power from a standard Power Over Ethernet (PoE+) switch (typical) or injector. The
radio node is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ specification.
The radio node only supports Gigabit Ethernet connection and the PoE+ switch should support Gigabit
Ethernet port. The radio node will not boot up with a Fast Ethernet PoE+ switch
Per IEEE 802.3at, use standard Cat 5e or better twisted-pair cable with a maximum length restriction of 100
meters (328 feet) for PoE+. This restriction minimizes power loss between the PoE+ power source and the
radio node.
When connecting the radio node to a PoE+ switch, ensure that the switch port is statically configured to
deliver minimum 30W of power.
Power is distributed over two pairs of the four available pairs in Cat 5e or better cables. The
radio node can accept power on either used or un-used pairs.
Some PoE switches may be factory configured to deliver lower power per port. If this is the case
change the configuration during installation.
