Re: multiple power input

Hi,

I believe you can use both the DC and the POE inputs. The board will use the higher of the voltages and automagically failover to the other when the primary fails.

There is a MUM presentation on this somewhere.

my interpretation is that it is single mode fibre but ONE fibre, not two as required for transmit/receive.

When we run fibre we usually get 6 core or more (three pairs) since that gives you extra in case.

Re: SXT 5HnD how to setup/configure?

Hello,

Silly question, but are you connecting a cable directly from your laptop to the antenna?

If so, the SXT will have no power. You will need an injector cable and a power supply.
