Remote Transceiver
Setup the Transceiver
• Choose a BaseStaon locaon.
• Choose a Transceiver locaon.
• Choose an antenna conguraon.
• Install CAT-5 cable and connect to the BaseStaon and Transceiver.
• Conrm operaon by observing the Transceiver LEDs.
The Tempest Remote Transceiver is an oponal accessory that allows antennas to be located up to 1,500 feet away from
the BaseStaon 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 BaseStaon with standard CAT-5 wiring with RJ-45 connectors.
Note that there are two RJ-45 connectors on the back of the BaseStaon and they are not interchangeable. The second
RJ-45 is for a LAN connecon.
» Install the BaseStaon in a convenient locaon.
» Install CAT-5 cable so that it is protected from electronic interference as much as possible.
» Install the Transceiver and antennas in a locaon that provides the best RF coverage.
» Connect the CAT-5 cable to the BaseStaon and the Transceiver.
» When the BaseStaon detects the presence of the Transceiver, there is a brief automac conguraon process
before the Transceiver takes over the radio funcon from the BaseStaon.
There are two RP-TNC antenna connectors on the top of the
transceiver allowing for connecon of two half wave antennas
or alternate antenna conguraons. Always ensure that two
antennas are securely connected for proper system operaon.
The Transceiver antenna connectors are
made to be water resistant, so outdoor use
is acceptable. The cable connecons on the
boom 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 alternave
antenna opons.
See the Antenna Conguraon secon.
Pairs of Direconal Antennas must
be aimed to cover the same area
