these will be located.
The Base station supports two splitters.
If you need more than one antenna splitter, the second splitter must be
connected directly to the Base station. Splitters cannot be connected in a daisy
chain configuration. Each splitter supports up to 5 antenna/transceivers which in
turn support up to 5 beltpacks.

3.2.1
Wiring the antennas and splitters
To wire antennas and splitters:
1)
Run 4-pair shielded Ethernet cable from the Base station to the antenna or
splitter, and determine that the antenna or splitter is showing both power
(green) and signal (amber) LEDs alight when the Base station is on.

(green) and signal (amber) LEDs alight when the Base station is on.
Note:
To meet FCC emissions requirements, a ferrite must be fitted on any shielded
Ethernet cable plugged into either of the two ports labeled “transceivers.” The
ferrite should be fitted at the Base station end of the CAT-5 cable. Position the
ferrite as close to the Base station as possible. The manufacturer of the ferrite is
Wurth Elektronix (part number is 742 711 32).

transceiver/antennas.
3)
Make sure that the local power supplies are plugged into the antennas.
If the green power LED and the amber data LED light up, then the
transceiver/antenna has sufficient power from the cable. If the amber data LED
flashes, a data link is established, and if the LED is solid, Base station
synchronization is established and the system is ready to use. If there are several
longer runs and you are attempting to power the transceiver/antennas from the
Base station / splitter connection, check each one again when they are all
connected. Local powering for the transceiver/antenna is recommended in most
cases to provide the most reliable long-term FS II installation.

During the initial system setup, before walking through the system with a
beltpack to check for gaps in coverage, it is wise to avoid “permanently” installing
the transceiver/antennas. Hold them in place in some temporary way until their
optimal position is determined.

Note:
4-pair shielded Ethernet cable (CAT-5/5e/6) with RJ-45 connectors on each end is
specified for connection between the Base station and the transceiver/antennas.
Use of other cable can result in markedly shorter distances of cable runs and
other possibly other performance problems.
