Important Information About the Satellite Device

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.

Instructions

Check packing slips and confirm that all equipment ordered has been received.

If any items are missing or incorrect contact your reseller.

Survey facility for an appropriate SAP installation location

The SAP should be located in the center of the area in which the FasCard readers are to be located. The wireless range of the devices is approximately 90 feet, properly placing a SAP can cover 180 foot diameter area.

The SAP can be either ceiling mounted or wall mounted using the included mounting tabs.

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

NOTE: The Cat5 Ethernet cable should be no longer than 100'. If longer than 100', there could be latency, or bandwidth reduction

a FasCard Satellite (SAT).

Preparation

Capture the E01 MAC Address (format will be 12 hexadecimal characters in length with colons between every two characters) and add the SAT to the location using the FasCard Admin Site. This can be done at any point in the process, or before/after.
1. To be ready for the above, it is recommended to have immediate, available access to the FasCard Admin Site.

NOTE: When adding a SAT to the location, ensure that the SAT is on the latest FasSat version available.

Survey the location for an appropriate SAT installation site. Note the following when looking for an install site:
1. The SAT should be located in the center of all FasCard associated readers. The wireless range of the readers is approximately 90 feet. The SATs range is approximately 180 feet in diameter.
2. The SAT can either be ceiling mounted or wall mounted, using the included mounting tabs.
3. The SAT comes with a 100ft ethernet cable. This cable will connect the SAP to the locations' Internet connection.
  IMPORTANT: The ethernet cable should be no longer than 100ft. If longer than 100ft, there could be latency, or bandwidth reduction preventing a clear internet connection.
4. The path in which the Cat5

cable

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

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.
Mount the SAP in the site you have deemed best, based on the recommendations above. For more information see FasCard Satellite Mounting Guide.
