b. Multiple Access Points Distributed Power Supply Connection
— This
option can distribute 15V DC power to as many as six access points,
concurrently. The distributed power supply is useful when multiple access
points are used to cover larger areas or when there is no AC outlet near the
access point (such as when an access point is installed in a ceiling plenum).
Perform the following steps to connect DC power to multiple access points:
1. Run a cable between the distributed power supply and each Access Point
separately. Since a data cable also has to be run to each Access Point, a
cable contractor can pull the two cables at the same time.
The cable type required for the distributed power supply is a stranded
18 AWG, STP (shielded twisted pair) with an overall foil shield with a
rating appropriate for the application (plenum rated, for example). Follow
local, state, and national regulations regarding cabling. An electrician or
licensed contractor should be consulted. The power cable must be
terminated with a special barrel connector at the access point. The white
striped connector is positive.
2. Plug the barrel connector into the round power jack on the Access Point.
3. Connect the opposite end of the power cable to terminal blocks on the
power distribution panel of the distributed power supply. When
terminating the ends of the power cable, observe polarity.
4. Plug the AC power cord of the distributed power supply into an
AC outlet.
5. Repeat the process for each Access Point.
Note:
When multiple access points are combined to cover large areas, it might be
necessary to use multiple switches and multiple distributed power supplies.
Connect the Router/Switch to the Central Station
Connect a Cat5 cable from any of the numbered RJ-45 LAN ports on the back of
the router/switch to the network port in the back of the PC portion of the Central
Station (Figure 4).
Connect the Central Station to the Pager Transmitter
Caution: To avoid damaging the Pager Transmitter, connect its antenna
before connecting power to the Pager Transmitter.
1
Connect the antenna for the Pager Transmitter to the BNC connector on the Pager
Transmitter (Figure 4).
2
Connect one end of the two-ended RS-232 serial cable to the
COM1
serial port of
the PC portion of the Central Station, and connect the other end to the
RS232C
Interface
serial port on the left side of the Pager Transmitter (Figure 4).
