Page 8: Deployment Requirements
Deployment Requirements Weather and environmental considerations The Array must be kept away from moisture and dusty conditions. For outdoor use, a shaded location is preferable. The RDK includes a cover to shield the Array from basic weather conditions. The Array’s operating environment should meet these conditions: ... - Page 9 There are a number of options that may be used to provide Internet uplink connectivity for the RDK. They must meet the interface requirement for a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps Ethernet connection. Satellite Cable ...

Page 11: Passwords
Passwords The Array uses the following default passwords and passkey. To manage the Array via the Web Management Interface (WMI) or Command Line Interface (CLI), enter the default username admin and the password admin. To connect to one of the Array’s predefined secure wireless networks, clients must enter the case-sensitive passkey. -
Page 12: Step 2 - Connect The Power Supply
Step 2 — Connect the power supply The injector supplies power and data to the Array on a single Cat 5e Ethernet cable. PoGE Injector 100-240 Data + Power Network Connection Figure 5. Power over Gigabit Ethernet (PoGE) supplies power and data to the Array Select a location for the injector. -
Page 13: Step 3 - Mount The Array On The Tripod
Step 3 — Mount the Array on the tripod Remove the tripod from the travel case and place it in the selected location. In situations where the tripod is susceptible to tipping over, you should brace the tripod, for example by placing sand bags on the tripod legs. -
Page 14: Step 4 - Connect Cables To The Array
Step 4 — Connect cables to the Array Remove the snap-on cover from the Array so that you can observe the Array’s LEDs after you connect the cables. Connections are slightly different for the XN8 and the XN4. Use the proper procedure below. -
Page 15: Step 5 - Change Array Configuration (Optional)
When all connections are complete: The injector’s CONNECT LED will light (green) after it senses a good connection to the Array using the supplied power. On the top of the Array, verify that the GIG1 LED is on, and that the LED boot sequence begins—the LEDs distributed around the front of the Array will light in rotation. - Page 16 If the network uses DHCP but you don’t have a reserved address and can’t examine the DHCP server tables, you have two options to find the Array address that was assigned by DHCP: • If you have an 8-, 12-, or 16-radio Array (for example, the XN8 furnished with XK-RDW-200-N), you may use an extra Ethernet cable (not supplied) to connect port Ethernet0 on the bottom of the Array directly to an Ethernet port on your laptop computer (we’ll call this the computer...

To continue using WMI, you must point your browser to the new IP address. You may also wish to undo the changes you made in “Setting the IP Subnet of Your Laptop Port to Access the Array” on page Set up an open or secure Wi-Fi network, with or without DHCP The Array furnished with the RDK is shipped with predefined wireless networks (called SSIDs) that you can use to offer a secure or non-secure wireless connection, with or without having the Array assign IP addresses to clients via DHCP. - Page 21 Creating, “renaming”, and enabling SSIDs The default Array configuration presents your users with a generic name for the wireless network—for example, ConnectHereSecure. To make it easier for them to identify and connect to the correct wireless network, you may wish to use a more meaningful name, like “County Response”...

Page 28: Setting The Ip Subnet Of Your Laptop Port To Access The Array
• The laptop will provide Network Address Translation (NAT) for DHCP addresses that it assigns. It will also provide DNS service (domain name resolution). Setting the IP Subnet of Your Laptop Port to Access the Array If you are connecting an Ethernet port on your laptop directly to the Ethernet0 port on an Array model with eight or more radios, you must change the IP address of your Computer Port to be on the same IP subnet as Ethernet0.
