### Wireless device <a href="#hardwareplatform-wirelessdevice" id="hardwareplatform-wirelessdevice"></a>

The wireless device contains both the radio and networking electronics. Implemented in a robust all-weather metal enclosure, this equipment can be used to create point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless links at long distances. The wireless device is supplied in the following configurations:

**Base Station Sectors Interfaces**

Base station sectors have ports:

* 1x Gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000 Base‑T), RJ‑45 connector: Data + Power.
* 1x SFP port: Data.
* 1x SYNC port for AUX‑ODU‑SYNC connection.

**Subscriber Terminals BSL and PTP devices Interfaces**

RJ-45 socket for connecting to power supply and network via the PoE power supply. The network connection to the ODU is made via a 1000Base-T (Gigabit) Ethernet connection. Power is provided to the ODU over the 1000Base-T Ethernet connection using a standard IEEE 802.3at passive PoE power supply.

**LED Panel**

PWR - power indicators will light red when the device is connected to a power source, yellow when 10/100 Mbps wired connection appears and green when 1000 Mbps wired connection appears. Other indicators are used to perform coarse antenna alignment. The more indicators are on, the better wireless connection is established. The blinking indicator means an intermediate state. The more often the indicator blinks the higher level connection is established.
