RUT240

RUT240 cell router website

Omni-direction

al antenna

QuSpot

Link

External antenna with antennas in 4

directions. Utilized in urban environments

with lots of diﬀerent tower locations nearby

Uni-directional

antenna

QuMax

Link

External antenna with single direction of

antenna. Strongest gain in one direction,

ideal for suburban and remote locations

Passive POE

injector - 24V

Passive

POE 24V

Link

Used to power the RUT240 router, through

the LAN port. Warning: RUT240 does not

support standard POE, which would burn the

router. Only use this passive POE that’s 24V

DC output.

Network

Swiftlane uses AT&T as the primary provider for cellular connectivity. Please check the

general signal strength at the customer site, you can request this information ahead of

time from the customer or during your initial site assessment.

Wiring diagrams

Option 1: Using an external antenna, for cellular only internet

If Swiftlane provided internet is being used as the primary internet service, please follow

these wiring options. An external antenna is strongly recommended in this scenario to

maximize signal strength, especially since the signal can be weaker in server and IDF rooms

Option 2: Using external antenna and cellular as a backup to primary

wired internet

Option 3: Using the cellular router without an external antenna

If the signal strength inside the server room is strong, an external antenna may not be

required, and you can use the antennas that come bundled with the RUT240 router

Mounting Considerations for External Antenna

External antennas should be mounted outside the building with minimal obstruction from

nearby buildings. Identify the location that balances ease of installation with the maximum

unobstructed views, in order to achieve best gain from the antenna

●Balance ease of installation with aesthetic considerations for the building, and

minimal obstructions from nearby building

●For uni-directional antenna, the mount provides a 45 degree rotation angle, in order

to adjust the antenna horizontally and align with the nearby tower

●Use cellmapper.net to identify nearby towers to ensure maximum gain on the

antenna

Height

In general, the taller the antenna is placed, the better it will perform. However, 10-12 ft is a

good installation height to start. This protects it from easy access to vandalism, while also

getting few obstructions to the nearby towers. You can connect the antenna and hold it up

at that height and check the signal strength indicators by connecting to the local

management dashboard over an IP connection. Follow the instructions below to get

familiar with the various parameters for signal strength.

Direction

Omni - directional antennas capture signal strength from all directions so they dont to be

pointing in any speciﬁc direction

Uni-directional antennas must be pointed in the general direction of the nearest cell towers

for AT&T. You can use https://www.cellmapper.net/ to insert the full address and look up

nearby 4G towers.

Checking Signal Strength and Connectivity

Please use an Ethernet to USB converter so that you can

connect to the cellular router locally on a computer.

Remove the ethernet cable connected to the non-red side of the white POE injector, and

plug that into your computer.
