6.6 Surge Suppressor Installation
Install a surge suppressor between the PoE
+
injector and IBR as near as possible to the PoE
+
injector.
The surge suppressor should be installed ahead of the cable ingress to the enclosure or structure housing the
switch in order to maximize protection to the switch. The surge suppressor should be connected to a true
earth ground with materials that meet the manufacturer’s specifications.
earth ground with materials that meet the manufacturer’s specifications.
NOTE: The total length of cable between the switch and IBR must not exceed one hundred meters (100m).
6.7 Communication with IBR Via the Serial Port, Telnet, or SSH (Optional)
A local operator can configure IBR by connecting the Fastback-supplied serial cable to a PC with a DB-9 RS-
232 connection. If such a connection is not available, a USB-to-serial converter may be used. (See the section
titled

The operator also may use telnet or SSH to access the CLI. The IBR default IP address is 192.168.128.101 or
192.168.128.102, as applicable. Connect a PC via Ethernet cable to the PoE+ injector. IBR Port 1 and Port 2
are disabled by default. Only Port 0 is accessible via the connection on the PoE+ supply. Ensure the PC has an

are disabled by default. Only Port 0 is accessible via the connection on the PoE+ supply. Ensure the PC has an
IP address in the range of 192.168.128.<0-254>. Immediately after configuring the IBR IP address as
indicated below, change the IP address on the PC to match the subnet configured on the IBR.

Once the operator has access to the CLI, set the same link-ID on both ends of the link to ensure the link
doesn’t accidentally communicate with other Fastback links. Setting an IP address allows remote IBR access.

6.8 Link Establishment
IBR will automatically select the best combination of channel frequencies and bandwidth for a link.
Wait for radios to finish booting and establishing a link.
Use the CLI command shown below to verify that a link has been established.
