TECHNICAL ACQUAINT # 124a
Maintenance
The 9160 has no internal option switches and does not require physical access; all configuration settings
are done remotely (see "Navigating to Basic Settings" in the 9160 Wireless Gateway User Manual).
Environmental and radio communication considerations do still apply.
Radios
Mini-PCI 802.11g radio without integrated antenna (standard).
Mini-PCI 802.11a/g radio without integrated antenna (optional second radio).
Power And Antenna Cables
Power
To prevent accidental disconnection and stress on the 9160, antenna and power cables should be secured
within 30 cm of the unit. Secure the cables with ties to the cable tie mounts on the 9160 (see Figure 1
above). A single phase power outlet (range 100 to 240 VAC rated 1.0A minimum) should be installed
within one metre (3.1 feet) of the 9160. The 9160 automatically adjusts to input within that power range.
The power cable is removable and is available in the power type specific to your location. The 9160 AC
power supply has a universal input via a standard IEC320 connector.
To eliminate the need for AC wiring, the 9160 Wireless Gateway is compliant with IEEE 802.3af and can
be powered over its Ethernet connection. For detailed information, see "Power Over Ethernet
Requirements" in the 9160 Wireless Gateway User Manual.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, the power cord protective grounding conductor must always be
connected to ground.
Antennas
The type of antenna required for each installation depends on the coverage requirements and the
frequencies used. For more detailed information on the Psion Teklogix antennas available for use, please
refer to TA071. Generally, a site survey determines the appropriate antenna.
The 9160 has four reverse-thread SMA jacks on top. The two front connectors can connect to RA2060
(802.11g), and the two rear SMAs can connect to RA2050 (a/g). See Figure 2.
