OUTDOOR SINGLE RADIO NODE (MESH-A-Ox & MESH-B-Ox)
POWER INJECTION MODULE (PIM)
Note: The Power Injector Modules are not weatherproof units and must be protected from moisture.
PIM DESCRIPTION

PoE NOTIFICATION
The Mesh nodes are mid-span compliant and must be powered using
the supplied power injection module. If an 802.3af compliant PoE switch
is used, connect to a non-PoE port of the switch only.

MESH CONNECTION DIAGRAM
The following wiring schemes represent the configuration that has been tested and
verified by KBC based on typical Ethernet wiring solutions. Other wiring configurations
could be possible based on the application. A bench test is recommended to verify the
design below.
CONNECTING TO AN IP CAMERA
CONNECTING TO A KBC ENCODER OR DECODER
CONNECTING TO AN ETHERNET 10/100/1000 SWITCH
* Type of Ethernet cable is determined by the Ethernet device LAN
port. If the LAN port is a 10/100 port then the cable will be a crossover
cable. If the port is a gigabit connection then a straight-through cable
would be used. KBC recommends that both types of cables are on
hand in case your particular device requires a different configuration
than what KBC has tested.
