Hardware Installation
HSS supports installation of up to sixteen collocated units. In addition
to each unit being connected to its IDU or PoE device, the collocated
unit has an additional cable that is connected to the HSS Unit. The HSS
Unit is a compact, weatherproof (IP67) connector box that is installed
on the same mast as the ODUs. All collocated units connect to this box
via CAT 5e cable. Prepared lengths are available for purchase.
The HSS is supplied with ten protective covers; any port not in use
must be closed with a protective cover.

Ensure that the collocated units are connected in sequence from SYNC

must be reconnected to maintain the connectivity.
To connect an ODU to the HSS
1.
Unscrew the protective cover from the port marked SYNC 1.
2.
Connect the RJ-45 connector from one end of the prepared CAT 5e
cable to SYNC 1.
3.
Connect the other end of the CAT 5e cable to the ODU connector
labeled SYNC.
4.
Tighten the protective seal that is on the prepared cable over the RJ-45
connector.
