Cable Diagram for 450i to remote 450i AP, and also pass 1 PPS Sync pulse

This cable will allow you to daisy-chain two 450i APs, providing a 100Base-T Ethernet connection with PoE, and 1 PPS sync timing source from one radio to the other.

This 1:2 split cable is only required if you  want both of these functions simultaneously.

Software Configuration

Radio #1 must be running off a PoE power source with

sync-over-power, leaving the Aux port free, and have the following settings configured:

IP > Config > Aux Ethernet Port > Enabled (optional, if you only want power)

IP > Config > Aux Ethernet Port > PoE > Enabled

General > Config > Sync Source > AutoSync or AutoSync + Free Run

General > Config > Sync Output > Aux Port: Enabled

 

Radio #2 must have the following settings configured:

General > Config > Sync Source > AutoSync or AutoSync + Free Run

General > Config > AP Type: Remote AP (not strictly required, but recommended)
