Connects to GPS
Patch Antenna
Power The Power LED will light steady green when
the PowerBridge is connected to a power source.
Ethernet The Ethernet LED will light steady green
when an active Ethernet connection is made and
flash when there is activity.
GPS The GPS LED lights up green when the GPS
signal strength can sustain AirSync operation. This
requires a minimum of 3 satellite connections.
Signal The first Signal LED is lit when the wireless
signal strength is above -94 dBm, the second LED
when the wireless signal strength is above -77 dBm,
and the third LED when the wireless signal signal
strength is above -65 dBm.
Hardware Installation
Note: By default, the Signal LEDs represent the wireless
signal strength with default threshold values. In the airOS
interface, you can modify the threshold values for each
LED or configure the LEDs to display the GPS connection
quality instead. The settings can be configured on the
Advanced tab under Signal LED Thresholds.
Hardware Installation
To install the PowerBridge M5 X3, perform the following steps:
1. Use a flathead screwdriver to unlock the cover. Turn the screw
counter-clockwise until it is loose. The screw remains attached
to the cover. Lift the cover by pressing down and raising it up.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable and the GPS Patch Antenna. There
are grooves for the cables on the cover. Align them properly
and slide the cover back on and secure it with the screw.
