PRECAUTIONS
The room temperature where the
module is located must always
remain between 32°F and 104°F
(0°C to 40°C).
To avoid exposing the module to
harmful gases or excessive humid-
ity, it is preferable to install it in a
corridor.
Do not spray water on the module!

INTRODUCTION
The IPLink is a module that creates a bridge
between the controllers and the antennas.
It transforms the controller signals (RS-485)
into antenna-compatible Ethernet signals
(TCP-IP).

ANTENNA INSTAL-
LATION
The A-BOX communicates with the control-
lers on site through WiFi antennas. The
antennas must be installed outside, on the
highest point of the cornice of each building.
This section shows how to prepare and install
the antennas on top of your buildings before
connecting them to the controller network.
3.1.
Main Components of
the Wireless System
The A-BOX works with Omni-directional
Short-Range (SR) and Directional Long-Range
(LR) antennas. Each antenna is programmed
to act as a client (CL) or as an Access Point
(AP). In all, the system can use four different
types of antennas:
1) SR-CL 2) SR-AP 3) LR-CL 4) LR-AP
• Long-Range (LR) vs Short-Range (SR)
Antenna
Short-Range (SR) antennas — Omnidirec-
tional antennas with a transmission range
of 1 mile (1.5 km). This type of antenna is
provided with the A-BOX wireless solution
and is used to link up the buildings on site.
Long-Range (LR) antennas — Directional an-
tennas with a transmission range of 6 miles
(10 km). A Long-Range Access Point gener-
ally communicates with only one Long-Range
Client and it is not compatible with Short-
Range antennas. Long-Range antennas are
optional and require professional installa-
tion. For assistance, please contact your
E2E dealer.
