External Hardware FeaturesChapter 2MP Overview11Confidential—Beta1 Draft—Confidential—Beta1 Draft—20 Sep 04Figure 4. MP Access Point Model MP-52—Rear ViewCable PortsAll MP access point models except the MP-52 have two RJ-45 ports. (See Figure 2.) Each port provides a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet connection to an MX switch. The connection can be direct to an MX-switch or indirect through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. MP model MP-52 has one RJ-45 port for direct or indirect connection to an MX switch. (See Figure 4.) The MPs receive power and data through the RJ-45 ports. Use a Category 5 (Cat 5) cable with straight-through signaling and standard RJ-45 connectors to connect an MP to an MX switch or other device in the network. The two RJ-45 ports support dual-homed configurations for redundancy. An MP uses only one link for booting, configuration, and data transfer. If the link becomes unavailable, the MP can reboot using the other link. The ports are identical except for logical numbering (1 or 2). You can use either port to connect an MP access point to an MX switch. However, an MP always attempts to boot on Note. The DC input and serial console port on the MP-52 are not used. 840-9502-0082LAN

Only if the boot attempt on port 1 fails does the MP attempt to boot on port 2. If both ports are directly connected to MX switch ports supplying Power over Ethernet (PoE), the ports load-share. If one port becomes unavailable, the other port can provide full power to the MP. External Antenna ConnectorThe MP-341 and MP-352 each have a connector for attaching an optional external sectorized antenna for the 802.11b/g radio. (See Figure 2.) Table 2 lists the external antennas. (The MP-262 also uses these antenna models. An external antenna is required for the 802.11b/g radio in an MP-262.)Figure 5 shows the antennas. Note. MP access points do not support daisy-chain configurations. Do not connect the MP access point to another MP access point.Table 2.

Connection OptionsChapter 2MP Overview17Confidential—Beta1 Draft—Confidential—Beta1 Draft—20 Sep 04Connection OptionsYou can connect an MP access port directly to an MX switch port or indirectly to MX switches through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. In either case, use Category 5 (CAT 5) cable with straight-through signaling for each MP connection.For MP models with two Ethernet ports, you can provide data link redundancy by connecting both of its ports directly to MX switch ports or indirectly to MX switches through the network.For all MP models, you can provide MX management redundancy even on a single MP Ethernet port by connecting the MP indirectly to multiple MX switches through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. Note. Install the Cat 5 cables for the MP access point at the installation site before installing the access point itself. During installation, you will insert the Cat 5 cable(s) into the MP port(s) before attaching the access point to the bracket.

Installation Requirements and RecommendationsChapter 3Installing and Connecting an MP23Confidential—Beta1 Draft—Confidential—Beta1 Draft—20 Sep 04Installation Requirements and RecommendationsFor best results, follow these requirements and recommendations before installing an MP access point.RingMaster Network Plan and Work OrdersIf you are using RingMaster to plan your Trapeze Networks Mobility System installation, you might want to create and verify a network plan for the entire Trapeze network installation and generate an MP work order, before installing MP access points. A network plan and the MP work orders generated from it provide the following information about MP access point installation and configuration:●Number of MP access points required for adequate WLAN capacity in each coverage area●Detailed installation location for each MP access point●Settings for all MP access points in the WLAN(For information about installing RingMaster, creating and verifying a network plan, and generating an MP work order, see the Trapeze RingMaster User’s Guide and Trapeze RingMaster Reference Manual.)MX Switch RecommendationTrapeze Networks recommends that you install and configure the MX switch before installing an MP access point. If the switch is already installed and configured for the MP access point(s), you can immediately verify the cable connection(s) when you plug the cable(s) into the MP access point.Caution! MP models MP-341, MP-352 and MP-52 are designed to receive power only from an 802.11af-compliant source, a Trapeze Networks Mobility Exchange (MX) switch, or a Trapeze-approved power injector. Connecting an MP access point to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device that is not approved by Trapeze Networks can damage the equipment. Other MP models do not support 802.11af.
Installation Requirements and RecommendationsChapter 3Trapeze Mobility Point Installation GuideVersion 3.024Confidential—Beta1 Draft—Confidential—Beta1 Draft—20 Sep 04(For information about connecting an MP access point to an MX switch port, see “Connecting an MP to an MX Switch” on page 59.)Wall Installation RecommendationsIf you plan to install MP model MP-341 or MP-352 on a partial wall or other vertical surface, orient the top of the access point (the side with the LEDs) toward the intended coverage area. The radio antennas transmit through the top of the access point but not through the bottom (where the bracket is). This recommendation does not apply if you plan to use only the 802.11b/g radio, with an exernal antenna. You can orient the antenna independently of the MP itself. Orient an external antenna to face the intended coverage area. MP Radio Safety AdvisoriesWhen you enable the MP radio(s) as part of MX switch configuration, the radios are able to receive and transmit radio frequency energy as soon as you connect the MP access point(s) to the MX switch, either directly or through the network. Radio Frequency ExposureFederal Communications Commission (FCC) Docket 96-8 for Spread Spectrum Transmitters specifies a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with the proper antennas (shipped in the product), Trapeze Networks MP access point products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1-1991. Proper installation of the MP access point according to the instructions in this manual will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
Installation Requirements and RecommendationsChapter 3Installing and Connecting an MP25Confidential—Beta1 Draft—Confidential—Beta1 Draft—20 Sep 04Additional Radio Safety Advisories(For translations of these warnings, see “Radio Safety Warnings” on page 78.) Cable Requirements Warning! In the U.S., locate the MP access point a minimum of 20 cm (7.9 inches) away from people. This safety warning conforms with FCC radio frequency exposure limits for dipole antennas such as those used in the MP access point. Warning! Do not operate the MP access point near unshielded blasting caps or in an otherwise explosive environment unless the device has been modified for such use by qualified personnel. Warning! Do not touch or move the MP access point when the antennas are transmitting or receiving.Warning! Do not hold any radio device so that the antenna is very close to or touching the face, eyes, or other exposed body part while the device's radio antenna is transmitting.Warning! Before using a wireless device in a hazardous location, consult the local codes, national codes, and safety directors of the location for usage constraints.Warning! Do not connect or disconnect cables or otherwise work with the MP access point hardware during periods of lightning activity. (For translations of this warning, see “Lightning Warning” on page 81.)
Installation Requirements and RecommendationsChapter 3Trapeze Mobility Point Installation GuideVersion 3.026Confidential—Beta1 Draft—Confidential—Beta1 Draft—20 Sep 04Cat 5 cable with straight-through signaling must be installed at the site before you install an MP access point. A single connection requires one cable. A dual-homed connection requires two cables.Table 5 lists the pin signals for 10/100 Ethernet straight-through wiring. Pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are used when Trapeze Power over Ethernet (PoE) is enabled on the port. RD means Receive Data and TD means Transmit Data.Mounting an MP access point on a solid surface requires Cat 5 cable that does not have strain relief. For installation on all other surfaces, you can use Cat 5 cable with or without strain relief.(For more information about cables, see “Cable Ports” on page 11.)Note. The MP access point is intended for indoor use only. Do not install the device outdoors, unless you install it in a properly installed Trapeze Networks outdoor MP enclosure. Note. To reduce the possibility of connection interference caused by dust, clean the Cat 5 connector pins before inserting a cable into an MP access point.Table 5. 10/100 Ethernet Straight-Through Pin SignalsMX Switch Other DevicePin Function Pin Function1RD+1TD+2RD-2TD-3TD+3RD+4 PoE+ 4 PoE+5 PoE+ 5 PoE+6TD-6RD-7 PoE- 7 PoE-8 PoE- 8 PoE-
