Backhaul3.1 OverviewIn network communications, the backhaul is the part of the network that contains the links and equipment between the core network and the sub networks.Wireless mesh networking is a method where each radio node in the network captures and disseminates its own data as well as serves as a relay for other radio nodes in the network sending data along a path, hopping from one node to the next. Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that passes electrical power along an Ethernet cable. PoE is used where DC power is not available and USB unsuitable. Power can be supplied at the end of a network span or somewhere in the middle. PoE switches supply power at the end of a span. PoE injectors supply power somewhere between the PoE switch and the powered device. They inject power and do not affect the data.The RT 1000 Central Recording System is a fully connected mesh network of Wireless Remote Units (WRUs) that communicate in a relay pattern (bucket-brigade or string-of-pearls) with a Line Tap Unit (LTU) on the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) radio band. The LTU is composed of the following:Base Station Unit (BSU)Power over Ethernet (PoE)24 Ah DC Battery or Power SupplyCablesMast, mast base, and guy-wires5.8 GHz backhaul radiosAntennasCAUTIONEnsure that the PoE box is placed on the ground, or that a groundingcable is attached to avoid causing damage to the internal electronicsduring use.

BackhaulOverviewThe LTU communicates by way of the BSU with the Central Software System (CSS) computer in the central recording truck along a backhaul on the 5.8 GHz ISM radio band. Some smaller systems may not require a backhaul.The Central Software System (CSS) communicates with the field units via the backhaul radios. The backhaul radios act as access points for the BSUs.The following figure illustrates the possible LTU components:Figure 3–1 Possible LTU Components
