Give the tech a "break-out" box. A box with 2 Enet jacks and a pigtail with a plug. The plug get only the data pairs from one jack and plugs in the laptop. The power pairs get connected from one jack to the other. The jack with all 4 pair is labeled RADIO. The jack with only data pairs is labeled POWER. Plug the cable from inside into the POWER jack. Plug a patch cable into the RADIO jack and the radio. Plug the pigtail in the laptop. I use this all the time. Actually for installs, I have a power supply in the truck and a 250' ethernet cable on a spool. Plug the cable in the truck power supply. Plug the other end in the break-out box and away you go.
On installs above the roof, put a test box at ground level. Just a Enet plug and jack. Insert the break-out box here and even with no one home you can connect.
