Remote Transceiver
Setup the Transceiver
• Choose a BaseStaon locaon.
• Choose a Transceiver locaon.
• Choose an antenna conguraon.
• Install CAT-5 cable and connect to the BaseStaon and Transceiver.
• Conrm operaon by observing the Transceiver LEDs.
The Tempest Remote Transceiver is an oponal accessory that allows antennas to be located up to 1,500 feet away from
the BaseStaon without the RF signal loss that is associated with using long runs of coaxial cable.
The Tempest Remote Transceiver connects to the rear of the BaseStaon with standard CAT-5 wiring with RJ-45 connectors.
Note that there are two RJ-45 connectors on the back of the BaseStaon and they are not interchangeable. The second
RJ-45 is for a LAN connecon.
» Install the BaseStaon in a convenient locaon.
» Install CAT-5 cable so that it is protected from electronic interference as much as possible.
» Install the Transceiver and antennas in a locaon that provides the best RF coverage.
» Connect the CAT-5 cable to the BaseStaon and the Transceiver.
» When the BaseStaon detects the presence of the Transceiver, there is a brief automac conguraon process
before the Transceiver takes over the radio funcon from the BaseStaon.
There are two RP-TNC antenna connectors on the top of the
transceiver allowing for connecon of two half wave antennas
or alternate antenna conguraons. Always ensure that two
antennas are securely connected for proper system operaon.
The Transceiver antenna connectors are
made to be water resistant, so outdoor use
is acceptable. The cable connecons on the
boom of the transceiver are not water ght,
so always protect from immersion. In severely
blowing rain it may be prudent to protect with
an RF transparent cover such as a Ziploc bag.
Coaxial cable may be used to connect alternave
antenna opons.
See the Antenna Conguraon secon.
Pairs of Direconal Antennas must
be aimed to cover the same area
