Tools (not included)

• Phillips Screwdriver

• (Optional) Power Drill or Impact Driver

• (Optional) Any additional mounting hardware at the discretion of the installer.

Preparation

1. 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.

Step-by-step guide

1. Survey the location for an appropriate

1. SAT installation site. Note the following when looking for an install site: 

   1. The 

1. 1. SAT should be located in the center of all FasCard associated readers. The wireless range of the readers is approximately 90 feet. The

1. 1. SATs range is approximately 180 feet in diameter.  

   2. The 

1. 1. SAT can either be ceiling mounted or wall mounted, using the included mounting tabs. 

   2. The 

1. 1. SAT comes with a

1. 1. 100ft ethernet cable. This cable will connect the SAP to the locations' Internet connection. 
      

1. 1. IMPORTANT: The ethernet cable should be no longer than

1. 1. 100ft. If longer than

1. 1. 100ft, there could be latency, or bandwidth reduction preventing a clear internet connection.

   2. The path in which the Cat5 is to be ran through should be free of hazards that may damage or interfere with the cable.

      1. Avoid high frequency devices such as lighting ballasts, microwaves, cordless phones, and neon lighting. 

   3. 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 

1. SAP in the site you have deemed best, based on the recommendations above.

1.  For more information see FasCard Satellite Mounting Guide.

   1. The SAP has multiple mounting tabs on the bottom, use standard screws with wall anchors, if needed.

2. Connect the

1. 100ft Cat5 cable to Port 1/PoE on the SAP.

2. Run the opposite end of the C-0181 Cat5 cable from the SAP to the local 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.

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

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

7. Plug the C-5605 PoE adapter into a working wall receptacle (outlet).

7. The SAT will boot up and try and establish a connection to the Internet and the FasCard servers, this process can take between 2 to 5 minutes
