The CN3200 Dual Band Routing Modem is a compact form-factor base station used for
communicating wirelessly with xMod Mobile Hotspots. The xMax CN3200 Modem is an all-IP, high-
capacity, high-performance wireless access point that that delivers wide-area coverage and
reliability, even when there is significant interference.
The CN3200 Modem is totally protected against dust and moisture.
The CN3200 Modem is a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+) device. The IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard
enables transmission of both data and the power to operate a device over a single Cat5e cable
connection.
The CN3200 Modem REQUIRES a PoE++ adaptor, as supplied.
The device will NOT operate with a low-power PoE switch or adaptor.
Both top Tx RF ports MUST be properly terminated
before power (PoE) is applied to the unit.
Applying power without proper RF port
termination might damage the unit
