Note: For proper operation of IBR, the weatherproof integrity of all cables and connectors should be maintained
and weatherproof caps should be firmly installed on unused connectors at all times.
b. A mounting bracket for each IBR that is suitable for that radio’s location. Mounting brackets that are
available from Fastback Networks are discussed in the section titled
c. A PoE
+
injector capable of supplying at least thirty-five (35) watts.
d. A grounding lug as described in the section titled
in this Guide.
e. Appropriate mounting hardware for the PoE injector.
2.3 External Features
The illustration below identifies external features of IBR. The small cap at the end of the radome (facing
upward in the illustration) houses the DFS (dynamic frequency selection) antenna.

The side where the mounting lugs and serial port are located is referred to as the “back”, since it is the side
that will be against a wall or mast when IBR is mounted.
that will be against a wall or mast when IBR is mounted.
The side that has the three Ethernet connectors and two LEDs is referred to as the “bottom”. Even though
the connectors are weatherproof, IBR should be mounted with the connectors facing downward for
maximum environmental protection.

2.4 Power Requirements
IBR must be powered via PoE
+
through the RJ-45 connector that is nearest the LEDs (port 0). Applying PoE
+
through any of the other Ethernet connectors will cause no harm, but will not power IBR.
IBR requires thirty (30) watts. Based on an estimated loss of five (5) watts in a one hundred meter run of
Ethernet cable, the power injector should be capable of delivering at least thirty-five (35) watts at 60ᵒ C.
