Troubleshooting and Tips
Best Practices
7.1.3 PoE
When temperature swings are extreme, or weather is severe, store the PoE boxes
in the recording truck at night.
To ensure a protected connection, be sure to use an Ethernet cable with a
protective shell (65-0051) when connecting Ethernet cables to the PoE (see Figure
4–8 Protective Ethernet Connector on page 34).
7.1.4 Urban Environments
The following could impact your configuration in urban environments:
 You may need to use repeaters when crossing a road.
 You may need to adjust WRU placement and antenna strength when crossing a
road.
 You will need to consider the presence of power lines and buildings when
placing WRUs and backhaul components.
7.1.5 Ethernet Cables
Use CAT6 quality cables.
To ensure a protected connection, be sure to use an Ethernet cable with a
protective shell (65-0051) when connecting Ethernet cables to the PoE (see Figure
4–8 Protective Ethernet Connector on page 34).
7.1.6 Antennas
When placing or selecting antennas in, consider the following:
 In areas where there is a steep inclination, smaller gain antennas may provide
a better signal.
 In areas where there is a steep inclination, try to reduce the inclination by
going up or down at an angle rather than straight up or down.
 Use repeaters to cover overpass and steep inclination situations.
 If you need more signal strength, use an extender with a riser to elevate the
antenna.
CAUTION
Do not allow the PoE battery to remain connected at a voltage of 22V or
less. Damage to the equipment could occur.
