1 Installing the Tropos Mobile Mesh Router This guide explains how to install the Tropos Mobile Mesh Router, Models 4310-XA-and 4319XA. This chapter contains the following sections: Preparing for Installation Mount the Router Front Panel LED Service Instructions Service Instructions Introduction The Tropos 4310-XA and 4319-XA Mobile Mesh Routers are designed to provide mobile mesh router functionality in extremely harsh environments.
Chapter 1 Tropos 4319-XA Router — Public Safety The Tropos 4319-XA router for licensed FCC public safety applications has the following characteristics: 802.11a, 4940-4990 MHz DC power, 11-55 VDC CPE 10/100BaseT Ethernet port Note Operation in the 4.9 GHz band requires an FCC license. The following eligibility rules are specified in Part 90.1203 of the FCC rules: • Entities providing public safety services as defined under section 90.
Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation Figure 1 shows the mobile router unit and dimensions.
Chapter 1 Note The router contains integral ESD protection and vehicle power conditioning, so external protection is not required. Antenna Options You can purchase any of the Tropos-approved, cable-attached antennas that are listed in “Ordering Information” on page 19 (see Figure 6 on page 19). Omni-directional antennas are best for systems requiring a signal distribution in more than one direction. Caution To comply with regulatory RF exposure limits, locate antennas a minimum distance of 7.
Chapter 1 Cable Connections and Power Figure 2 shows the power and connector ports on the side panel of the mobile outer: The status indicator is red when the router is not connected to the Tropos network. It is green when the router has a working IP address and network connectivity. The CPE port is used to connect the router to a computer or other client device.
Chapter 1 Install the Router Perform these tasks to install the router: 1. Mount the Router 2. Connect Power 3. Connect the CPE 4. Connect the Antenna Mount the Router The Tropos 4310-XA and 4319-XA routers have a metal mounting bracket attached for mounting the router to most types of surfaces. As shown in Figure 3, the mounting bracket has two holes for fasteners. These holes are 8.85" (224.79mm) apart on centers.
Chapter 1 Connect Power Connect 11-55VDC to the POWER connector. The Tropos 4310-XA and 4319-XA use the following connector for DC power: LEMO size 1k/1 circular push pull fixed receptacle, 3-pole female (LEMO part number EGG.1k.303.CLL) The installer is responsible for providing the power cable that connects to the router's power receptacle. The correct LEMO part for the mating connector is: FGG.1k.303.CLA Figure 4 and Table 3 show the pin assignments for the DC power connector.
Chapter 1 Connect the CPE Connect the Ethernet CPE to the DATA connector: 4-pole, circular M-12 D-coded female The installer is responsible for providing the Ethernet cable and connector. Figure 5 and Table 4 show the wiring for the DATA connector.
Chapter 1 Front Panel LED Table 5 lists the front panel LED states. Pin 9 is used for the Remote Indicator (“Service Instructions” on page 12). Table 5 LED States LED Color Network State Red Not connected Green Connected Service Instructions There are no user-servicable items in the router.

3 Approved Antenna Configurations and Attenuation Settings This chapter lists approved antenna configurations and attenuation settings: “2.4 GHz Antenna” on page 16 “4.9 GHz Antenna” on page 17 2.4 GHz Antenna The information in this section applies to the Tropos 4310-XA mobile. Table 10 lists antenna configurations. Note CANADA ONLY: This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in Table 10, and having a maximum gain of 12dBi.
Chapter 3 Attenuation with External Antennas If 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 level: Gain’ (dBi) = Antenna Gain (dBi) - Cable Loss (dB) 802.11b/g: Tx Antenna Setting (dB) = 0 if Gain’ < 7 dBi Gain’ - 7 if Gain’ > 7dBi 4.9 GHz Antenna The information in this section applies to the Tropos 4319-XA router. Note Operation in the 4.
