Device Overview

Figure 1: Device Overview

Note: While using connectorized devices, please ensure to use antenna po rtA1 for single polarization antennas, and antenna ports A1 and A3 fordual polarization antennas.

Weatherproofing RJ45 ConnectorsThe following steps explain how to weatherproof the RJ45 connectors:

1. Slide the Sealing Nut (E) over the bare end of the Cat5e/Cat6 cable.

2. Slide the tube-shaped Compression Washer (C) into the Compression Ring (D) and

onto the Cat5e/Cat6 cable and tighten it into the Sealing Nut (E).

3. Insert the Flat Washer (A) into the Connector Body (B) to make it waterproof and

screw the Connector Body into the Ethernet connector hole.

4. Terminat e the RJ45 connectors on both ends of the Cat5e/Cat6 cable and test forproper wiring (cable should be a straight-through cable).

5. Slide the Cat5e/Cat6 cable through the screwed Ethernet Connector Body into the

Ethernet jack inside the enclosure. The cable connector should latch into the jack.

6. Thread the assembled Sealing Nut onto the screwed Connector Body and handtighten it to make a waterproof compression around the cable.

7. Open the notch on both sides of the Toroid and fix it on Ethernet Cat5e/Cat6 cable asshown in the figure. Then, lock the notch of the toroid by pressing it.

Note: To avoid electro magnetic emissions, please ensure to fix Toroid to theEthernet cable.

Additional Weatherproofing StepsTo add an additional layer of protection to the connectors against the environment, do the

following:

1. Wrap a vinyl tape in a half-lapped fashion, from the weatherproofed connector end

and continue wrapping till 3 inches onto the cable.

2. Wrap a second layer of the vinyl tape over the first layer but in other direction.

3. Now, wrap a layer of vinyl tape with the adhesive side out as it provides sticky for the next layer.

4. Next, wrap a layer of the butyl mastic tape on the adhesive side.

5. Finally, wrap vinyl tap over the butyl layer.

Assemble the Mounting HardwareFix the Mounting Plate (A) by using the provided screws and washers (Torque 9 N.m

lbs) onto the bottom of the device such that the antennas will be vertica

horizontally polarized when mounted. Fix the Extension Arm (B) to the fixed moplate with the provided screw, nut and washers. The Extension Arm gives the devic

possible tilt, letting you adjust for azimuth or elevation over a larger angle.

Plug in the CablesNote: Unscrew the sealing cap for installation of the cable.

1. Plug one end of the straight-through Cat5e/Cat6 cable into the Ethernet (RJ4

of the Ethernet 1 interface inside the enclosure. Plugging in the second Cat5

cable to Ethernet 2 interface is optional. Ensure that the cable connector is securely. You can hear a click sound when the cable connector latches into t

then tighten the sealing nut by hand. Connect the other end of the straight-t

CAT5e/Cat6 cable (Ethernet 1) into the PWR LAN-OUT port on the PoE Inje

2. Optionally, connect a RJ11 to DB9 Serial Connector (supplied with the p

package) to devices Serial Port for debugging and management.

Notes:

48 VDC (15 W average) is tolerable on the second Ethernet port (Ethernet2).

Make sure the connected device can support this voltage.

If power from the second Ethernet Port (Ethernet2) is desired, then Proxim

recommends you to use 60W PoE (not supplied).

If the device is connected to the second Ethernet port (Ethernet2) for data,

then use a PoE Splitter (not supplied).

Figure 7: PoE Injector

3. To connect the device through a hub or a switch to a Personal Computer, connect anEthernet cable between the network interface card in the Personal Computer and

the hub, and between the hub and the RJ45 LAN-IN port on the PoE Injector.

4. To connect the device directly to a Personal Computer, connect an Ethernet cable

between the network interface card in the Personal Computer and the RJ45 LAN-

IN port on the PoE Injector.

Connect the AntennaConnect the antenna with N-male cables to the antenna connectors on the device.

Note: Record which port each antenna polarization is associated with toensure that each side matches and aid in configuration.

Devices with integrated antennas must always be mounted in square position with all

access ports pointed straight down to achieve horizontal and vertical polarization.

Install Surge ProtectorProxim recommends two approved lightning surge protectors to be installed, one near to

the device and the other at the building ingress point.

Note: To buy an additional Surge Protector (with Part Number: 235-00001),place an order separately with your distributor.

Perform the following steps to ensure proper surge protection:

1. Mount the provided surge protector near the outdoor device and use 10 AWG orlarger wire to connect the protectors ground lug to the appropriate mounting ground

point. The outdoor device and co-located surge protector should have a common

grounding point using the shortest possible grounding cable.

2. Mount a second surge protector near the building ingress and use 10 AWG or larger

wire to connect the surge protectors ground lug to earth ground as shown in figure8.

Figure 8: Surge Protector

Note: Use Outdoor-rated, UV protected, shielded Cat5e/Cat6 cable for thefollowing.

3. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the indoor equipment and to the port on

the surge protector at the building ingress.

4. Connect a short RJ45 terminated cable between the outdoor equipment and the port

on the co-located surge protector.

5. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the two surge protectors on theirremaining ports.

Ground the DeviceTo ensure proper grounding, use either of the ground points which are situated at thebottom corners of the device and the grounding screw provided to attach a ground wire

of at least 10 AWG stranded to the device. It is important that the following ground

guidelines are followed to protect the device against lighting or ESD events:

1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the device as shown in the Figure 9 and

the other end to the closest earthing system point at the installation.

2. Cut any extra ground wire length when finished connecting it to the single point

earth ground.

3. Avoid sharp bends and never loop or coil up the ground wire, always connect itstraight to ground.

4. A good earth ground impedance is less than 1.0 ohm.

5. Measure ground impedance at the point where the protector ground wire isconnected and not at the ground rod.

6. Connect the protector ground wire and equipment ground (both power ground and

telecomm ground) to a single common ground.

7. Make sure all connections are fastened securely and are tight.

8. Never install during a storm and always follow your local safety codes..

Figure 9: Grounding the Device

Power on the DevicePlug in the power cord into a power outlet after having connected the PoE Injector and

the device using straight-through Cat5e/Cat6 cable. There is no ON/OFF switch on thedevice. To disconnect power, unplug the RJ45 connector from the PWR LAN-OUT port

on the PoE injector.

View LEDsWhen the device is powered on, it performs startup

diagnostics. When startup is complete, the LEDs showthe devices operational state. The LEDs are available at

the devices Ethernet connector inside the enclosure.

You can see the LEDs through the Ethernet connector.

The LEDs will not be visible when the weather-sealingcaps are installed. The following table describes the

status of LEDs:

Align the AntennaThe devices have an audible antenna alignment tool that can be activated by plug

the serial dongle (supplied) or by using the CLI command for antenna alignment (
