Unpack the box and ensure all of the components are in the kit. Note down the serial number as it may be required for support. 2 Assemble the Cable You will be attaching an outdoor-rated 24 AWG CAT5 cable (diameter .114 to .250 inches/2.9 to 6.4 mm) (not provided) to the Power-over-Ethernet port on the back of the unit and weatherproofing the assembly later in the installation procedure. First, you must construct the cable and assemble the weatherproofing cable covers as described in the following steps. Proxim greatly simplifies this assembly process by offering pre-assembled CAT5 cable kits in 25m, 50m, and 75m lengths (part numbers 69819, 69820, and 69821, respectively).1. Slide the sealing nut (A) over the bare end of the CAT5 cable.2. Slide the lock nut (B) over the bare end of the CAT5 cable.3. lide the sealing cap (C) over the bare end of the CAT5 cable. Make sure the red rubber gasket is inside the cap.4. Apply two wraps of 0.5” wide Teflon tape around 4 the threads of the lock nut (B) that will go inside the sealing cap.5. Thread the lock nut (B) onto the sealing cap (C), and hand tighten.6. Terminate the RJ45 connectors (D) to both ends of the CAT5 cable; test for proper wiring using a straight-through cable.3 Determine Proper Mounting OrientationLocate the arrow on the back of the unit and determine your desired mounting orientation. For vertical polarization using the integrated antenna, the arrow should be pointing up (perpendicular to the ground). For horizontal polarization using the integrated antenna, the arrow should be horizontal (parallel to the ground).4 Assemble Mounting Hardware1. Attach the mounting plate (A) using the provided screws and washers (Torque 9 N·m/75 in-lbs), such that the unit’s antenna will be vertically or horizontally polarized when mounted.2. Attach the extension arm (B) to mounting plate (A) with the screw, nut, and washers provided, as shown below. The extension arm gives the unit more possible tilt, letting you adjust for azimuth or elevation over a larger angle.3. Attach the mounting bracket (C) to extension arm (B) with the screw, nut, and washers provided.4. Finally tighten the assembly (Torque 15 N·m/130 in-lbs).5 Mount the Unit1. To pole-mount, insert screws through bracket F and fasten around the pole to bracket E and secure (Torque 11 N.m/100 in-lbs). Longer bolts (not supplied) are required for mounting the units to a pole with a diameter larger than 3 inches.2.To wall-mount the unit, mount bracket E to a wall using 4 screws (not provided), as shown:6 Plug in the Cables1. Plug one end of the CAT5 cable (A) into the RJ45 jack of the unit (B).2. Connect the free end of the CAT5 cable to the “Data and Power Out” port 2. on the power injector.3. To connect the unit through a hub or a switch to a PC, connect a straight-3. through Ethernet cable between the network interface card in the PC and the hub, and between the hub and the RJ45 “Data In” port on the PoE adapter.To connect the unit directly to a PC, connect a cross-over Ethernet cable between the network interface card in the PC and the RJ45 “Data In” port on the power injector.7 Power on the UnitThe power adaptor provides Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), supplying electricity and wired connectivity to the unit over a single 24 AWG CAT5 (diameter .114 to .250 inches/2.9 to 6.4 mm). The unit is not 802.3af-compatible. Note that the Active Ethernet module provides +48 VDC over a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable.Once you have connected the power injector to the Ethernet cabling and plugged the power injector cord into an AC outlet, the unit is powered on. There is no ON/OFF switch on the unit. To remove power, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet or disconnect the RJ45 connector from the “Data and Power Out” port on the power injector.Depressing the power adaptor’s Reload button for five seconds during power-up remotely resets BS/SS parameters affecting communication between the BS and SS to their factory default settings: IP address, subnet mask, user name, password, Ethernet speed/duplex, and VLAN mode.8View LEDTwo LED indicators are available on the Ethernet port of the unit. These LEDs display the activity of the Ethernet and RF links.3650IMPORTANTThis device must be installed by a trained professional, value added reseller or systems integrator who is familiar with RF planning issues and the regulatory limits.CAUTION!Heed all the WARNINGS. Follow all the instructions. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.BS/SS Power Adaptor Installer CDMounting Clampfor Wall/PoleExtensionArmMountingPlateMounting Clampfor PoleSerial CableLED State Ethernet LED RF (Wireless) LEDBase Station Subscriber StationOff No Ethernet link Radio is off Radio is offOn Ethernet link is connectedRadio is active (transmitting downlink and receiving uplink)Downlink synchronized.Flashing Packets are being received on Ethernet.Unit is in standby Increasing on-off speed indicates increasing RSNR.
4 5 6 9 Align the AntennaAntenna alignment is the process of physically aligning the antenna of the radio receiver and transmitter to have the best possible link established between them. The antenna alignment process is usually performed during installation and after major repairs.If you are installing external antennas, consult the documentation that accompanies the antenna for installation instructions. Note that you must weatherproof the antenna connectors as described in Weatherproof the Connectors.To ensure correct antenna alignment:1. Perform a link budget calculation to obtain an expected signal level. A link budget calculator is available at http://support.proxim.com2. Compare the calculation to the SNR value on the SS by logging into the SS Web interface and clicking Monitor > Statistics > MAC Statistics.3. If needed, physically adjust the antenna, and refresh the. Monitor > Statistics > MAC Statistics page to take a new SNR reading.10 Tighten the Cable1. Apply two wraps of Teflon tape around the threads of the unit’s RJ45 jack (A) in a clockwise direction.2. Make sure that the red rubber gasket is still seated in the sealing cap of the sealing cap/lock nut assembly (B).3. Slide the sealing cap/lock nut assembly (B) over the RJ45 jack (A) and thread onto enclosure. Hand tighten first, then use a pipe wrench or similar tool to tighten one more quarter turn.4. Tighten the lock nut (C) (Torque 4 N.m/35 in-lbs).5. Thread the sealing nut (D) onto the sealing cap/lock nut assembly (B) and tighten (Torque 3 N.m/25 in-lbs).11 Weatherproof the Connectors1. Remove the film liner from the rubber-based tape strip.2. Stretch and wrap the tape around the connector tightly, starting below the connector cap and against the unit and wrapping in a clockwise direction. Wrap the tape once around the base of the connector cap.3. Seal the tape tightly against the connector and the cable.4. Apply a layer of black electrical tape (not provided) over the rubber-based tape for further protection. Make sure the electrical tape also extends beyond the rubber-based tape to seal it.12 Install the Documentation and SoftwareTo install the documentation and software on a computer or network, insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive.
