— Insert the other screw through the curved slot track in the mounting bracket to the hole in
5. Level the mounting bracket by rotating the unit along the curved slot tracks. Tighten the
screws.

Connecting Power and Data Cables

The Tropos 1410 supports wired clients connected to either or both Ethernet or serial interfaces.
The Tropos 1410 is equipped with two weather-proof RJ-45 connectors that are used for
Ethernet and serial interfaces and for powering the Tropos 1410.
Depending on the specific application, the use of one or both connectors may be required. If the
Tropos 1410 is going to be used as a node in a Tropos mesh network, only DC power needs to be
provided to the unit. This is easily accomplished through the Ethernet port (see Chapter 2 for
power alternatives).
If the Tropos 1410 is going to be used as a bridge or as a node in the network and also provide
connectivity to a wired client, first determine the communication ports required and decide on a
power strategy.
