Nextiva S4300-RP Installation Guide

All devices in this setup must be in the same IP subnet.
The configuration of the point-to-multipoint repeater involves:

1. Configuring and installing the S4200 transmitters. For t he procedure,
refer to the Nextiva S4200 Series Installation Guide.

2. Assembling the power devices.

3. Configuring the two devices part of the repeater (S4300-RP) and the

S4300 access point connected to the LAN, one at a time. Shut down
a device before configuring the next one. For more information about
the access point, refer to the Nextiva S4300 Installation Guide.

It is strongly recommended to configure the S4300-RP in a lab.

Connecting Power

The S4300-RP uses 12V DC or 24V AC for power.

Note: Never power more than one device at a time during the

configuration process.

Use the supplied power cable to power the devices.

2: Configuring a Point-to-Multipoint Repeater

To power the device:

Note: Power supplies other than the approved ones (PS2440) require

verification of operation with the S4300-RP before use.
If you are using a power supply other than the one supplied by

Verint, you need to ensure that it has a minimum capacity of 1.6A
(for 12V DC) or 25 VA (for 24V AC).

1. Plug the power cable on the main connector of the device.

2. In 12V DC, connect each power wire of the power cable to the

corresponding wire of the power supply: the red wire to the input (+)
wire and the black wire to the ground wire (-). For more information,
refer to the power supply documentation.

3. In 24V AC, connect each power wire of the supplied cable to a wire
on the power supply. Both wires are used for power.

4. Connect the electrical plug into the outlet.

Installing the

Equipment

After ensuring that all devices are communicating properly in a lab, you
can install them in their final locations. You can install the S4300-RP
devices either on a wall or on a pole.

A repeater is made up of two devices. Depending on the application, they
are installed back to back or facing each other. An Ethernet cable
connects the two master devices in the application.

Verint Video Intelligence Solutions 61

5: Installing the Equipment

To install the S4300-RP:

1. Fix the mounting assembly on the device, then in stall the device in

its final location.

Warning: Always mount the device with the mating connectors

pointing downwards.

Note: Position the S4300 so that its integrated antenna has a clear

RF line of sight with the antennas of the facing device(s).

For detailed instructions, refer to the Nextiva S4X00 Mounting
Assembly Installation Guide included with the mounting assembly
set.

Note: You must install the mounting assembly on the S4300-RP. It

is required to properly mount and securely ground the
wireless device.

62 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions

Nextiva S4300-RP Installation Guide

Tip: If you are installing the S4300-RP equipment in a lightning prone

environment or in a site where large AC mains power fluctuations
are a common occurrence, add external surge protection to secure
your equipment. For more information, refer to the “Surge
Protection” appendix in the Nextiva S4300 Series User Guide.

Tip: If the S4300-RP is directly exposed to the sun in an environment

likely to reach 122°F (50°C), install a sun shield. Otherwise, reduce
the maximum operating temperature by 18°F (10°C) to protect the
equipment; that is, without a sun shield, the maximum
temperature should be 104°F (40°C).

2. To properly fuse the power supplied to the wireless device, install a
fuse between the power source and the power cable. The fuse must
have the following ratings: UL Listed, 250V, 2.5A, Fast-Acting.

3. Repeat step 1 and step 2 for the second device.

4. On a point-to-point repeater:
a. Ensure that the two devices are installed back to back.
b. Power the devices using the assembled power devices.
c. Connect the supplied outdoor Ethernet cable between the two

devices.

5: Installing the Equipment

5. On a point-to-multipoint repeater:
a. Ensure that the two devices are facing each other.
b. Power the devices using the assembled power devices.
c. Connect the supplied outdoor Ethernet cable between the two

master devices (see page 8 for the illustration).

6. On a wireless bridge repeater:
a. Ensure that the two devices are facing each other.
b. Power the devices using the assembled power devices.
c. Connect the supplied outdoor Ethernet cable between the two

master devices (see page 46 for the illustration).

7. To improve the signal level between the devices, use the antenna
alignment utility from SConfigurator.
