====== Getting Started ======

Thank you for wanting to operate a receiver!

Here is some information about the receivers we build.

What's in the box:
  * Receiver in its enclosure (the enclosure is printed in ASA)
  * 3D-printed part for the bottom seal ("bottom.stl") and screws (M4 x 12, TX20)
  * Rubber plug for the LAN cable

===== Self-Service Portal =====

There is a self-service portal. The link for your node is attached as a QR code to the back of the receiver, and it can also be found on the packaging, on the delivery note, and in the shipping confirmation e-mail. You can protect your node with a password:
[[en:node_registration|Node Registration]]

====== Power Supply ======
You can power your receiver via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or USB.

With USB, it doesn't matter which of the two ports you use. Both are connected to the internal 5 V supply through a diode.

The power consumption has been measured by several users and is about **1.7 W** to **2 W**.


===== PoE =====
On the receiver, a jumper lets you choose between active PoE (802.3af) and passive PoE. In the 802.3af position, the jumper is only parked and has no electrical connection.

  * **802.3af**: 48 V active PoE
  * **passive**: 7 V - 58 V passive PoE


For outdoor installations, see [[en:hardware:surge_protection|Surge Protection]].

===== Web Interface =====

The receiver has no web interface on the local LAN. Config parameters can only be set via MQTT (in the self-service portal) or via USB.


===== WLAN / Mobile Operation =====

Since the antenna of the ESP32-C5 is already used for C-ITS, a WLAN connection is not possible. For mobile operation, we recommend a WLAN repeater / range extender with a LAN port. There are also models that can be powered via USB.
