Installing the Clear Router – IT-104
Overview
Clear Routers, CenTrak part number IT-104, create the Clear Network and are required for ever Clear
Network installation. The Clear Router will retransmit any valid CenTrak transmission, and receive direct
transmissions from the Clear Repeater Network. Installation of Clear Router must be on the same
subnet as the CenTrak Application Server, and recommended to be plugged directly into the Application
Server or on the same network Switch.
Locations for Clear Router are determined during the initial survey of a building. Locations for Clear
Routers are included on the CenTrak-supplied design documents. In most cases, Clear Routers are
installed in corridors or closets that do not contain machinery or high voltage transformers.
CAUTION!
Do not perform any wiring or connection work while the circuit is live.
The Clear Router must be installed such that the minimum distance between any portion of the antenna and nearby
persons is 20cm.
