3. About this Applicaon Note
Figure 1. Flexy 205 connected to the Ethernet Power Injector, Bolt LTE and Bolt Ethernet RJ45
In this applicaon note, we describe how to connect a Flexy 205 to:
• internet via a Bolt LTE connected to the 4G cellular network.
• Wi-Fi via a Bolt Ethernet RJ45 connected to an Ethernet network.
To supply Bolt LTE and Bolt Ethernet RJ45 with power, we have connected a Ethernet Power Injector between the
Bolt's and the Flexy 205. This removes the need for an addional power cable.
The Ethernet Injector (PoE) has two separate injector channels.
• One of the injector channels is connected to the Flexy 205 WAN port and to the Bolt LTE, which provides
internet access to the Flexy 205.
• The other injector channel is connected to one of the Flexy 205 LAN ports and to the Bolt Ethernet RJ45, which
enables Wi-Fi connecon for monitored equipment.
