Follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, unless local codes in your area take precedence over the NEC code. The following distance limits apply to installations that have 10/100 Base-T Category 5 network cables attached to the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router:300 feet maximum between devices for 100BaseT operation600 feet maximum for 10BaseT operation. The Ethernet duplex and speed setting is configurable.NoteNational Electrical Codes (NEC) Article 800 requires the use of Agency Listed (UL/CSA/TUV) Building Entrance Protector for all power and data communications cables entering a building. The NEC intends by Article 800 to protect the building and occupants from fires caused by transient voltage and current surges. NoteEthernet data cable installations having lengths greater than 140 feet in the outdoor environment must use a UL497 approved (UL/CSA/TUV Listed) primary protection device at the building entrance. Ethernet data cable installations having lengths less than 140 feet in the outdoor environment may use
Preparing for InstallationTropos 5320 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide 5a UL497A (UL/CSA/TUV Listed) secondary protection device at the building entrance. Tropos Data Protection Device and Network Protection Units are UL497A secondary protection devices.Location GuidelinesThe Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router is a radio device and therefore susceptible to interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best performance:Install the unit in an area where trees, buildings, and large steel structures do not obstruct radio signals to and from the antenna. Direct line-of-sight operation is best. Install the unit away from microwave ovens or other devices operating in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency range. Install the unit away from other possible sources of 802.11a or 802.11b/g interference, such as cordless phones, home spy cameras, frequency hopping (FHSS) and DSSS LAN transceivers (non-802.11), electronic news gathering video links, radars, amateur radios, land mobile radio services, local government sites (such as law enforcement), fixed microwave services, local TV transmission and private fixed point transmitters.Antenna OptionsYou can purchase the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router with an integrated omni-directional antenna, or use an approved external antenna. Omni-directional antennas are best for systems requiring a signal distribution in more than one direction. To comply with regulatory RF exposure limits, locate antennas a minimum distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) from people. For antenna model numbers, refer to “Approved Antenna Configurations and Attenuation Settings” on page 48.NoteAntenna(s) must be installed by a trained professional. Operating the unit with non-qualified antennas is a violation of U.S. FCC Rules Part 15.203(c), Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47. See “Approved Antenna Configurations and Attenuation Settings” on page 48 for a listing of antenna options.Site SurveysDue to variations in component configuration, placement, and physical environment, each installation is unique. Before installing the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router, perform a site survey to determine the optimum placement of units for maximum range, coverage, and network performance. Consider the following factors when performing a site survey:Data rates—Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver threshold sensitivity occurs as radio data rate increases.
Preparing for InstallationTropos 5320 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide 6Antenna type and placement—Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to gain and antenna height measured from the ground. Physical environment—Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas. The less cluttered the operating environment, the greater the range. Obstructions—A physical obstruction, such as a building or tree, can block or hinder communication. Avoid locating antennas in a location where there is an obstruction between sending and receiving devices. Building materials—Radio penetration is influenced by the building material used in construction. For example, drywall construction permits greater range than concrete blocks. Diversity—The Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router supports transmit and receive diversity for 802.11b/g. Diversity requires two antennas.Power SourceThe Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router supports the following options for connecting to a power source:AC power source (3-wire service) — 3W(P+N+PE) or 3W(2P+PE); 100-480 VAC, 50/60 Hz NEMA plug, for streetlight photoelectric control power tap (2-wire service) —2W(2P) or 2W(P+N); 100-480 VAC 50/60 HzIn Europe, a suitably rated plug provided by the installerWarningConnect the AC powered outdoor system only to a rated power source. Do not connect to a power source of other voltage.CautionYou must install an external grounding wire if the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router is installed on a non-metal pole or if the metal installation structure is not properly grounded. You must also ground the outdoor data protection device to a bonded pipe or ground rod. Make sure that grounding is complete before you connect power to the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router.SafetyInstalling the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router can pose a serious hazard. Be sure to take precautions to avoid the following:Exposure to high voltage lines during installationFalls when working at heights or with laddersInjuries from dropping tools and equipment
Mounting StrategiesTropos 5320 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide 7Contact with AC wiring Mounting StrategiesWhen choosing mounting locations, consider the available mounting structures and antenna clearance. The Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router should always be mounted with the top of the unit horizontal and level and with the antennas facing upward.It is usually best to attach ground and data cables to the router prior to mounting. Before mounting the router, review the wiring instructions in “Grounding the Tropos 5320 Router” on page 21 and “Connecting a Data Port” on page 29 to determine the best strategy for the selected location.NoteTo eliminate potential interference from the mounting structure, the router should be mounted with at least 4 feet of clearance around the antennas.Acceptable options for mounting on a streetlight are shown in Figure 2. In each case the router is mounted to assure clearance for the antennas above the height of the streetlight.Figure 2 Example Mounting Location - Antennas Facing Upwardtrp_151Antennas clear of obstructionAntennas clearof obstruction

Pole, Tower, and Streetlight Mounting InstructionsTropos 5320 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide 9Pole, Tower, and Streetlight Mounting InstructionsThis section explains how to mount the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router on a pole, tower, or streetlight. It is best to mount the router to aluminum or galvanized steel structures. The mounting brackets are designed to pierce any oxidation layers that are on the outside of the pole, thereby assuring good quality connection to the grounded structure.Due to potential antenna obstruction issues, the router is not designed to be directly mounted on a building wall. If it is necessary to mount the router on a wall, follow the instructions for mounting on a wooden pole (“Wood Pole Mounting” on page 13), and attempt to mount the router with maximum possible clearance around the antennas.NoteThe Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router should always be mounted with the top of the router horizontal and level and with the antennas facing upward.NoteIt is best to attach ground and data cables to the router before sliding the router into the mounted sun shield, as explained in this section. Before mounting the router, review the wiring instructions in “Grounding the Tropos 5320 Router” on page 21 and “Connecting a Data Port” on page 29 to determine the best strategy for the selected location.NoteMounting to wood, concrete, or painted poles may require primary grounding for the unit. Check the national electrical codes in your area for specific rules.

Connecting PeripheralsTropos 5320 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide 35Connecting PeripheralsThe Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router can be configured to source DC power on the Ethernet connector pins 4,5 and 7,8, This capability allows the router to power remote peripherals such as backhaul point-to-point radios, video cameras, or fiber optic transceivers. The Tropos Power over Ethernet (PoE) power sourcing capability is a fully isolated supply and can be used to power either positive or negative polarity peripherals.The Tropos PoE power sourcing capability differs from the IEEE 802.3af standard in the following ways:Tropos PoE includes support for multiple voltages; the 802.3af standard supports only 48V operation.Tropos PoE does not include support for auto-discovery.Many IEEE 802.3af-compliant power devices (PDs) will operate using the Tropos power sourcing equipment capabilities. The Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router can supply up to a total of 30W of DC power distributed to the LAN port, Management port, or both. Each port must be configured for the same voltage. To configure the voltage, use the Tropos Configuration Utility (see the Tropos Networks User Guide) or an element management system such as Tropos Control (see the Tropos Control EMS Installation and User Guide). The DC output voltage can be configured to 12Vdc, 24Vdc, 48Vdc, or to the Off state (0Vdc). Table 2 lists the maximum power output as a function of voltage.In the event of an over-current or short-circuit fault event, the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router will remove PoE output for three to five seconds before attempting to resume sourcing power to the peripheral device. NoteWhen the software restarts following a software upgrade, the PoE output will experience a disruption for the period of the restart.If the battery backup capability is installed, PoE output power is unaffected by the temporary loss of AC power. The power sourcing feature continues to function during battery backup operation (see “Battery Backup Operation” on page 37).

Battery Backup OperationTropos 5320 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide 37Battery Backup OperationThe Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router may contain an automatically recharging battery, which provides an integrated uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The available backup time depends upon the level of network traffic serviced by the router and the ambient temperature. Figure 24 shows the relationship between average throughput and battery uptime. The Tropos 5320 router will typically recharge the UPS in approximately 10 hours.NoteThe internal battery is not field replaceable.Figure 23 Average Battery Backup TimeThe battery is equipped with a small internal heater that enhances battery life in very cold operating conditions. When the ambient temperature of the unit approaches -12 degrees C, the internal heater is activated. An active internal battery heater consumes power; therefore, the average power consumption of the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh router increases slightly in extremely cold weather conditions. Figure 24 shows the battery discharge hold time as a function of ambient temperature.
Safety Information for the Tropos MetroMesh RouterTropos 5320 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide 38Figure 24 Average Battery Backup Time vs. TemperatureSafety Information for the Tropos MetroMesh RouterThe Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The Tropos 5320 products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual and the hardware and software guides on the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh routers result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.Follow these guidelines to ensure safe operation of the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh routers:Do not touch or move the antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.Do not hold any component containing a radio such that the antenna is very close to or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; otherwise, the radio may be damaged.Use in specific environments:Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless it is a type especially qualified for such use.The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited to the constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.
Safety Information for the Tropos MetroMesh RouterTropos 5320 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide 39The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.Antenna use:The Tropos 5320 MetroMesh routers must be used only with Tropos-approved components and antennas. See “Approved Antenna Configurations and Attenuation Settings” on page 48 for details.In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, dipole antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons.High-gain, wall-mount or mast-mount antennas are designed to be professionally installed and should be located at a minimum distance of 24 inches (60 cm) or more from the body of all persons.

Standard Power Product AntennasTropos 5320 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide 50Attenuation with AntennasIf external antennas are used, it is necessary to adjust the transmit power attenuation to provide the correct power level for the router. Use the following formulas to compute the required attenuation levels:802.11b/g:Attenuation setting = Antenna gain (dBi) - 7.4 dBi - Cable loss 802.11a:Attenuation setting point-to-multipoint links = Antenna gain (dBi) - 9.1 dBi - Cable lossThe attenuation setting cannot be negative; therefore, a positive attenuation setting is only required if the antenna gain is greater than 7.4dBi. Table 9 and Table 10 show the proper attenuation settings, assuming that low-loss cable is used (1dB). The attenuation should be rounded to the nearest half-integer value. When using a directional antenna in a point-to-multipoint application, the maximum allowed EIRP is 36.0dBm. The conducted power should be reduced accordingly.Standard Power Product AntennasEuropeThe approved European countries are Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Table 10 802.11a Radio (5.725-5.850 GHz) - Antenna ConfigurationsDescriptionPart NumberMeasured Cond.

Tropos 5320 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide 698Wind Loading ConsiderationsThe American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standards manual, “Standard Specifications for Structural Supports for Signs, Luminaires and Traffic Signals,” governs most structural support issues related to traffic lighting and controls. Many state and city public works departments site the AASHTO standard as the guide for their requirements. Local municipalities in coastal states, which experience frequent hurricanes, etc., may have exceptions to the AASHTO standard that require higher design limits for wind velocity or dead load. Numerous pole and mast arm assemblies are used for traffic controls and traffic lighting. Each assembly and installation is unique and worthy of an evaluation of the static and dynamic load bearing capabilities; however, in most cases, the assembly will include a pole with a single 6', 9' or 12' mast arm holding a single luminaire. Many of these mast arms are typically designed to hold hundreds of pounds of static load and to carry several square meters of sail area in 80mph winds. The typical mast arm is capable of supporting a single traffic control (typically weighing around 160 lbs) and a single traffic sign (typically presenting a few square meters of sail area). A single luminaire typically weighs about 60 lbs and presents about 3 square feet of sail area. NoteEach assembly and installation is unique and worthy of an evaluation of the static and dynamic load bearing capabilities. It is your responsibility to evaluate the load bearing capabilities of the structure.The Tropos 5320 MetroMesh Router weighs approximately 14 lbs, including all mounting hardware. The Tropos 5320 MetroMesh Router may be mounted to either the pole portion of the streetlight or to the mast arm portion. When the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh Router is mounted to the pole or mast arm, most of the unit is hidden by the pole or mast arm and therefore presents minimal additional sail area to the structure. When the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh Router is mounted to the pole portion of the structure, the sail area of the router is approximately 1 square foot. Pole manufacturers have advised Tropos Networks that small communications devices such as the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh Router do not present any significant static or dynamic load to these structures.
Tropos 5320 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide 709Canopy Installation Instructions The 5320 Canopy Subscriber Module and Bracket kit allows you to attach a third-party radio, the Motorola Canopy Subscriber Module, to the Tropos 5320 MetroMesh Router.The kit includes the following items:Outdoor CAT5 weatherproof cableBracket (metal pole)Screws #6-32 x 1.5"LockwashersCable tiesFollow these steps to install the canopy (refer to Figure 29):1. Align the bracket and attach it using the three screws included in the kit.2. Attach your radio subscriber module to the end of the bracket. Direct the Canopy Subscriber Module toward the canopy base station.3. Remove the cable access cover on the Canopy Subscriber Module so that you can attach the RJ45 end of the data cable to the module. (The cover slides off.) Put the cable access cover back in place.

Tropos 5320 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide 7510 Cable Termination Instructions Follow these steps to prepare and terminate cables connected to the 5320 unit:1. Strip off the outer sheath of cable to expose 6 inches of the inner cable or twisted pairs. The shield may be armored, braided or foil type depending upon cable type (see Table 31).2. For armored or braided cable, remove all but 1/2 inch of the armor or braid.Remove waxy residues on the shields of “flooded” type cables.For foil shielded cable, remove all but 1/2 inch of the foil, and fold the foil part back onto the outer sheath. Most foil shields are conductive on the inner side, as the outer side typically has a plastic coating.The exposed conductive surfaces will ground to the conductive contacts inside the cable gland.Figure 31 Cable ComponentsOuterjacketTwistedpairsArmor or braidedconductive shield1/2 inch 5-1/2 inchesOuterjacketFoilconductive side outCable glandConductivecontacts
Tropos 5320 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide 763. Run the stripped part of the cable through the cable gland (Figure 32). Make sure that the braided conductive shield of the cable makes contact with the conductive contacts of the cable gland (Figure 32).4. Attach the cable gland by first tightening the gland base into the access cover. Then tighten the gland cover to constrict the weather-tight grommet around the outer jacket of the cable, thereby creating a weather-tight fitting.Figure 32 Cable Gland Assembly5. Apply a RJ45 modular jack and connect to the LAN or Management port.
