SXT installation guide

Quick guide showing the basics of installing an SXT in CPE mode:

Nice video…

Looking video I think this grounding hole is too high and if grounding cable is too thin then water can go into chasis.

I agree water ingress will cause problems, a simple cable grommet should have been part the SXT kit and used at the bottom of unit?

That’s why you cut the hole to fit the cable, not bigger, but probably smaller than you need. To make a tight fit.

Experience has taught us to use waterproof RJ-45 Ethernet Connectors,

We have discovered even using these waterproof connectors that self-amalgamating tape is also required?

For SXT? We have customers with standard SXT devices in very rainy and wet places. Work fine. We have some non-protected (standard) SXT devices here at our office, on the rooftop mast. Work fine for a year, survived -23C winter and two rainy seasons (in Latvia, rainy season is most of the year :wink:

@Normis when will this be to market?

SXT? It’s widely available

He meant SXT G 2-HnD. The 2GHz SXT has been announced, and will become available within a month.

wow…
who is the "leng zai {mean handsome boy} in the movie…

Installation guide shows grounding screw in centre of circuit board. None of ours have this, instead a hole is on the edge of the board by the ethernet cable port. It is impossible to fit a screw to this hole without dismantling the entire unit and it would interfere with the ethernet cable anyway :confused:

Why has it taken MT so long to realise this?

the new grounding hole is in the new SXT models, old model has a mounting loop, no screw. It’s still possible to add grounding

We have many SXTs in the field and this is a rainy location.

We do not ground or water proof or tape anything and they are fine.

We only have the occasional issue with power spikes but very few.

Maybe stupid question…
How to adjust the LED lights to light up the signal strength?

Go to “/system led” menu and configure what each LED shows. You can configure that each LED shows a specific signal range.

to introduce our first complete AP/CPE for 2.4GHz (2192-2732MHz depending on country regulations) - SXTG2HnD! It’s powerful 60 degrees 2x2 MIMO 10dbi sector antenna with 1600mW wireless on-board- you can use it as a Sector AP, to make wireless point-to-point links or as a CPE- whatever you prefer! It comes with L4 license, perfect for covering outdoor area for hotspot clients.

Unit is equipped with Gigabit Ethernet port, so customers can take full advantage of dual chain MIMO. It has the same form factor as our popular 5Ghz SXT model.

Yes, thank you
Inauguration beautiful and easy
But when searching for networks only show marked Microtech not show other networks have
Is there a settings change?

Good morning
Sorry to unfreeze this topic but I would like to ask one thing about mounting. The new housing for SXTs (eg. mine SXT5HpnDr2) does not contain the hole for the grounding cable. Should I drill a new one ? What are your experiences ?

Yes, it was a potential source of water ingress, so it was removed.
You can either use the same place where the ethernet cable goes, or, if the cable thickness does not allow it, you can drill a new hole on the bottom (near ethernet) and then silicone it shut, once the cables are all installed.
