Hardware Overview
The S4300-RP electronics are enclosed in a weather-tight cast aluminum
module with an integrated wide-band antenna located in the top of the
casing. All cable entries are mounted on the underside of the module to
maintain its weatherproof properties.
Note: You must use only antennas certified by Verint. You must enter
the antenna gain in the device to ensure that the combined
transmission power of the device and antenna does not exceed
the maximum value established by your country’s regulations. For
more information, refer to the Nextiva S4300 Series User Guide.

Configuring a
Point-to-Multipoint
Repeater
A point-to-multipoint repeater is used as a range extender for wireless
links, when you need a device to retransmit the signals coming from
S4200 transmitters towards the Ethernet LAN.

Presenting the Application
A point-to-multipoint repeater is made up of three S4300 devices: two for
the repeater (S4300-RP product code) and an access point. Here is a
typical application:
S4300
S4200

S4300_3 in Cell2 (slave)
S4300_1 in
Cell1 (master)
Access point

All devices in this setup must be in the same IP subnet.
The configuration of the point-to-multipoint repeater involves:
1. Configuring and installing the S4200 transmitters. For the procedure,
refer to the Nextiva S4200 Series Installation Guide.
2. Assembling the power devices.
3. Configuring the two devices part of the repeater (S4300-RP) and the
S4300 access point connected to the LAN, one at a time. Shut down
a device before configuring the next one. For more information about
the access point, refer to the Nextiva S4300 Installation Guide.
It is strongly recommended to configure the S4300-RP in a lab.
Connecting Power
The S4300-RP uses 12V DC or 24V AC for power.
Use the supplied power cable to power the devices.
Note: Never power more than one device at a time during the
configuration process.
2: Configuring a Point-to-Multipoint Repeater
10 Verint Video Intelligence Solutions
To power the device:
1. Plug the power cable on the main connector of the device.
2. In 12V DC, connect each power wire of the power cable to the
corresponding wire of the power supply: the red wire to the input (+)
wire and the black wire to the ground wire (-). For more information,
refer to the power supply documentation.
3. In 24V AC, connect each power wire of the supplied cable to a wire
on the power supply. Both wires are used for power.
4. Connect the electrical plug into the outlet.
Note: Power supplies other than the approved ones (PS2440) require
verification of operation with the S4300-RP before use.
If you are using a power supply other than the one supplied by
Verint, you need to ensure that it has a minimum capacity of 1.6A
(for 12V DC) or 25 VA (for 24V AC).

Configuring the Application
Device configuration requires the use of the proprietary SConfigurator
tool, a proprietary tool included on the Verint web site:
www.verint.com/manuals. You need to copy its executable file
(SConfigurator.exe) to the hard disk of your computer.
Configuring each device making up the point-to-multipoint repeater
involves the following sequence of steps:
1. Setting the network parameters.
2. Setting the device name and country of operation.
3. Setting the wireless parameters.
To set the initial network parameters:
1. Ensure that the device is powered and connected to the Ethernet
network.
2. Write down the serial number of the device in a safe place.
3. Start SConfigurator by double-clicking SConfigurator.exe on your
hard disk. The SConfigurator window appears.
