cont ains t he links and equipm ent bet ween t he core net work and t he sub

ft
Wireless m esh net working is a m et hod where each radio node in t he net work
capt ures and dissem inat es it s own dat a as well as serves as a relay for ot her
radio nodes in t he net work sending dat a along a pat h, hopping from one node
t o t he next .
Power over Et hernet ( PoE) is a t echnology t hat passes elect rical power along
an Et hernet cable. PoE is used where DC power is not available and USB
unsuit able. Power can be supplied at t he end of a net work span or som ewhere
in t he m iddle.
ra
PoE swit ches supply power at t he end of a span. The RT Syst em 2 Line
I nt erface Unit act s as a swit ch wit h PoE.
PoE inj ect ors supply power som ewhere bet ween t he PoE swit ch and t he
powered device. They inj ect power and do not affect t he dat a. A discret e PoE
inj ect or is used when configuring t he Fluidm esh radios.
The RT Syst em 2 Cent ral Recording Syst em is a fully connect ed m esh net work
