Connecting the G-1090 to the Internet
Once the G-1090 air traffic receiver is physically installed in its designated location, it needs electricity to work correctly and connectivity to send data to the INVOLI.live server.
INFORMATION To improve the durability of the installation, the Ethernet cable connecting the G-1090 air traffic receiver should be at least CAT6 and shielded. |
It is very important to use its Waterproof RJ45 Ethernet socket cover (provided with the receiver), to guarantee a long connector time life. It has to be slid over the cable before mounting the RJ45 plug.
Alternatively, INVOLI provides Ethernet cables already equipped with a waterproof RJ45 Ethernet socket cover.
There are several possible ways to provide power and internet access to the G-1090 Air traffic receiver.
- Direct Ethernet (with PoE)
- PoE Router (option provided by INVOLI)
- LTE PoE Router (option provided by INVOLI)
- INVOLI Connectivity Module
Option 1 - Direct Ethernet with PoE
If the network you want to connect to is equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE) and has access to the internet, simply connect the G-1090 to it by using an Ethernet cable. As soon as the connection is made, the device will turn on.
INFORMATION The G-1090 receiver power consumption is 8W, so a 15W standard PoE power supply is sufficient (IEEE 802.3af). |
Option 2 - PoE router
If internet access is not equipped with PoE, it is possible to purchase a PoE injector (available in the INVOLI catalogue of spare parts and accessories). The injector has to be connected to the Internet with an Ethernet cable and to the power supply. Then, simply connect the Ethernet cable from the G-1090 to the PoE router and the receiver should turn on.
The picture below shows the typical power injector for PoE. It has a socket for a power supply and 2 Ethernet ports - a data input port to connect to the Internet (DATA-IN), and an output port with data and power (P+DATA-OUT).
Physical dimensions: 155mm x 57mm x 33mm
Weight: 160g
Input: AC 100 - 240V
Out PoE: 30W
Temp range: -10 to 40 C
Speed: 1Gbps
Max Ethernet cable length with PoE: 100m
Firewall settings for Option 1 and Option 2
Direct Ethernet (option 1) or connection through a locally provided router (option 2) will probably require the configuration of the firewalls on the local Internet provider side. Please ensure that the following ports are configured for the outgoing connections to the INVOLI.live server:
- 23452/udp
- 18883/tcp
- 443/tcp
- 80/tcp
- 5959-5970/udp
- 10000-40000/udp
- 123/tcp
- 1514/tcp
- 1194/udp
Please look also at the article "Troubleshooting connectivity" for more details.
Option 3 - LTE PoE router
If you are installing a G-1090 where there is no access to the Internet, it is possible to purchase a PoE LTE router (available on the INVOLI catalog of spare parts and accessories). The installation is similar to that described above, but one SIM card is required to ensure Internet access through a 4G/LTE cellular network.
Further details on the INVOLI LTE router are available at this link.
Option 4 - INVOLI connectivity module
This connectivity solution is superior to the option described above because it is IP67 class and can be mounted outdoors, close to the G-1090 receiver, e.g. on the same pole. It provides Internet connectivity for the receiver and power through a PoE connection. Thanks to the fact, that it comes already preconfigured, it only requires to be powered to start working.
It comes with a 2.8 m power supply cable (power plug for specific countries available on request). The Ethernet cable assembly kit is provided to prepare the Ethernet cable to be IP67. Otherwise, it is possible to order a separate Ethernet cable (CO00050AA), as an accessory.
No control lights are available for the module - the actual working state can be deducted from the status lights on the G-1090 receiver.
