The bracket should be used on poles that support standard U-mounts (2.5” in diameter). You can use other mounting brackets at your own discretion. General Mounting Considerations  Mount the RSU to a secured pole in the shade, with unobstructed line of sight to the Wireless Base Station (WBS).  Stainless steel hose-clamps, or any suitable equivalent, may be used to secure the unit to the mast.  Leave the unit mounting loose enough to allow for movement when performing the alignment/testing procedure. The unit should be tightened only after the alignment/testing procedure is completed.

To power the unit: 1. Run a straight Ethernet coupler and an Ethernet wire to an indoor wall outlet to the PoE injector and DC power supply (both included with your RSU unit). 2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the unit at location “ODU” (OutDoor Unit) on the PoE injector. 3. Connect a straight Ethernet cable from the “NET” location on the PoE injector to a hub or switch. Note: The Ethernet to Ethernet connection at the cable end should be water sealed or shielded from rain/snow. The following diagram illustrates the basic power configuration.
