FAQs
What is Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows Ethernet cables to deliver both data and electrical power to network devices, simplifying installation by reducing the need for separate power cords.
What is the input voltage range for this device?
The Mikrotik LTE18 Antenna Kit supports an input voltage range of 12-57 V.
Do I need a special cable for PoE?
You need a standard Ethernet cable (Cat5e or higher recommended) that is capable of carrying power. Ensure your power source (PoE injector or switch) is compatible with the device's voltage requirements.
How do I ensure optimal signal reception?
Position the antenna in a clear line of sight towards the nearest cellular tower, away from obstructions like thick walls, metal objects, or other sources of interference. Experiment with different mounting locations and orientations.
Is this device suitable for outdoor use?
> Info needed: Specific environmental rating (e.g., IP rating) for outdoor suitability.
What kind of performance can I expect?
Performance is highly dependent on cellular network coverage, signal strength, and network congestion in your area. This device is designed for high throughput and reliability, but actual speeds will vary.
Troubleshooting
Device not powering on
Verify the PoE connection and ensure the power source is within the 12-57V range. Check the Ethernet cable for damage.
Poor or no network connectivity
Ensure the antenna is correctly positioned for optimal signal reception. Check network configuration settings and confirm the LTE module is active and has service.
Intermittent connection drops
Check for signal interference in the environment. Review device logs for any recurring errors and ensure firmware is up-to-date.
Slow data speeds
Assess signal strength and quality. Minimize network congestion and check if other devices are consuming significant bandwidth.
