Important Information About the Satellite Device

Panel

a FasCard Satellite Access Point (SAP)

The Satellite Access Point or SAP is a bridge between the FasCard readers and the internet.  The SAP has an Ethernet port that connects to the locations internet connection and a wireless antenna that communicates with the FasCard readers.  The SAP is more than a wireless access point in that it provides valuable location status information to the FasCard administration site.  Each location requires one SAP for every 50-60 FasCard readers and multiple SAP's can be used to extend the wireless coverage area or provide redundancy.  The wireless range of a SAP is approximately 90 feet providing coverage to 180 foot diameter surrounding the SAP.  While the wireless signal will operate through walls and objects, signal strength may be degraded and interference from sources generating strong electromagnetic fields is possible. 

The SAP can be powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet) device which eliminates the need to install a power source at the install site.  Power for the SAP is delivered through the Cat5 cable that connects the device to the local internet connection by way of the POE adapter utilized during installation.  SAP's can be wall or ceiling mounted with the mounting hardware provided and should be installed in a central location providing even coverage to all FasCard readers.

The FasCard satellite (Mikrotik 951G-2HnD) device can accept power through its power jack or through the first Ethernet port:

  • The DC power jack accepts 8-30V DC.
    • Note: The DC power accepts a 5.5mm outside diameter, 2mm inside diameter, female, pin positive plug.
  • The first Ethernet port accepts passive Power over Ethernet (PoE) 8-30V DC.
    • Note: The 951G-2HnD satellite does not support PoE+ or PoE++ which typically supplies 48V DC.
  • Attempting to power a 951G-2HnD satellite with anything over its maximum rated acceptable input voltage of 30V DC may harm the device.
  • Under maximum load, the power consumption of this device is 7W.

Assumptions

This document assumes the following:

  • The user is proficient in the use of basic hand and power tools.
  • The user has a basic understanding of the host machines being modified.
  • The user understands that CCI takes no responsibility to any damage that may occur to equipment during installation procedure.
  • The user has full access to equipment and facilities where FasCard equipment is to be installed.
  • The install location has a full time internet connection with a router or modem with enough available Ethernet ports to service the number of SAP's being installed
  • The install location as a 120vac outlet for every SAP being installed within 15 feet of the internet connection.
Warning
This procedure assumes that all required FasCard applications including ACH forms, Account application and equipment survey forms have been completed and turned into CCI.  Failure to complete the configuration procedure will prevent the FasCard equipment from operating properly.  Contact CCI to ensure that this step has been completed prior to installing product.

Tools (not included)

  • Power drill
  • Wall anchors

Step-by-step guide

  1. Survey the location for an appropriate SAP installation site. Note the following when looking for an install site: 
    1. The SAP should be located in the center of the area in which the all FasCard associated readers are to be located.   The wireless range of the devices readers is approximately 90 feet, properly placing a SAP can cover 180 foot diameter area.The SAP can be either . The SAPs range is approximately 180 feet in diameter.  
    2. The SAP can either be ceiling mounted or wall mounted, using the included mounting tabs. 

    3. The SAP The SAP comes with a 100' Cat5 Ethernet cable, this . This cable will connect the SAP the SAP to the locations internet connection.  Confirm that 100' will be sufficient to reach the mounting site to the internet ' Internet connection. 

      NOTE: 

      Warning
      titleCable length notice

      The Cat5 Ethernet cable should be no longer than 100'.

       

      If longer than 100', there could be latency, or

      bandwidth reduction

      bandwidth reduction preventing a clear internet connection.

    4. The path in which the Cat5 cable is to be run ran through should be free of hazards that may sever damage or damage interfere with the cable, avoiding .
      1. Avoid high frequency devices such as lighting ballasts, microwaves, cordless phones
      or
      1. , and neon lighting
      is also recommended
    5. If installing multiple SAP's, when possible choose mounting sites where all SAP's are in range of all FasCard readers.  This will provide redundancy to the readers in the event that an SAP goes offline.
    Mount the SAP
      1. . 
    2. If multiple SAPs are being installed, choose equal ranges between all the SAPs and readers, so they can provide redundancy and can cover the entire group of FasCard equipment. 
  2. Mount the SAP in the site you have deemed best, based on the recommendations above.  
    1. The SAP has multiple mounting tabs on the bottom, use standard screws with wall anchors, if needed.
  3. Connect the C-0181 100' Cat5 cable to Port 1/ POEPoE on the SAP.

  4. Run the opposite end of the C-0181 Cat5 cable from the SAP to the local internet Internet connection in the building.
    1. Use cable ties to secure cabling to solid structures along the cable pathway, stay clear of any objects that may cause harm to the cable.

  5. Connect the provided C-0177 15' Cat5 cable to the customer supplied internet device and Internet device (e.g. router or modem) and the other end into the "Data In" port of the C-5605 PoE adapter.

    Tip
    This might be a router or a 'Modem', this device must provide DHCP service.  Although most routers and modems today do, you may need to contact a local networking professional to confirm
     Connect the 100' home run
    titleInternet provider requirements

    The Internet Service Provider (ISP) for the location must issue a DHCP IP address. Static IP addressing will not work on the SAP. 

  6. Connect the C-0181 100' Ethernet cable from the SAP into the "Data & Power Out" port of the C-5605 PoE adapter.
