By following the LED on the unit, the power and link status can be monitored. It is described as follows:
1) ACTV LED:
A) Off – Power Down
B) On - Booting Up
C) Slow Blinking – Remote unit is transmitting, controller unit receiving (P2P search)
D) Fast Blinking – Air Link is up
1) DATA LED
A) Off – No Ethernet detected
B) On – Ethernet Cable is connected to a working device on host – No Data
C) Slow Blink – Error (synced to ACTV LED)
D) Fast Blink –Tx & Rx Air Traffic active
Should there be an error in your SkyHopper PRO unit, both the ACTV and DATA LEDs will be simultaneously slow blinking.
Link status, CINR, RSSI, throughput and unit log information is available in the Web GUI, which can be found online at www.

8.2. Connecting the Antennas
Antennas for installation vary in size, shape, requirements and mounting methods. The antennas should be as close to the
SkyHopper PRO as possible and can be connected to it directly.
Cables should be chosen according to their attenuation (lower attenuation gives better results) and exibility (according
to the path they pass through). Each cable should have an MMCX Male connector on the SkyHopper PRO end, and a
connector matching the antenna’s connector on the other.
8.3. Connecting the Power
SkyHopper PRO has a dual power feed enabling hot-swap battery replacement during operation.
! CAUTION – Powering up a SkyHopper PRO without connecting the antennas can cause irrepairable
damage to the unit.
