AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE 3 3.1 Installation Preparation Site Survey Site surveyis is the key step in wireless network project, which is decisive to the reasonablity of system design and the smooth implementation of deployment. 3.2 Site survey tools The site survey tools should be prepared and checked before departure, the tools include: D Laptop D GPS D Compass D Scale D Digital camera (recommended) D Telescope (recommended) D Spectrum Scanner（optional） 3.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE 3) Interference must be considered in site selection. New site should avoid known interference, interference is controlable 3.4 unless the Site Survey Guide Site survey mainly include location selection and detail site study z Site Selection The site survey engineer should be experienced with good knowledge of microwave propagation, antenna ,feeder, MSR products and experiences in wireless network deployment.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE 3.6 Security Check Before Start D Check mast installation, the material of pole and its installation should comply related installation specification(Pole should be vertical, and grounding should be done, the diameter is around 40－ 60mm; D Grounding is prepared already; D Check the distance between MSR2000 and Grounding point; D If cabling need to go through wall or ceiling; D Special installation material or tools are needed or not. 3.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE Antenna Installation 4 4.1 z Principles Height of antenna installation: ¾ The antennas height can be different even for antennas connected to same MSR2000. It would be determined by the space of installation, or by design requirement; ¾ The antenna height for access could be 20 meters in open and flat area of city.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE 4.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE z Antenna Installation Tools: Spanners size 10 1． The height of antenna must follow the requirement in desgin documentation ( enough isolation should be secured between antennas, vertical isolution is much better than horizental isolation); 2． Put antenna to pole by U-bolt, start from upper U-bolt then down one; 3． Fix antenna on bracket, don’t strengthen the nut too tight because the antenna azimuth will be adjusted.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE 4.3 Omni Antenna Installation Tools: Adjustable Spanner Installation material package of omni antenna includes: D Omni antenna: D Installation bracket of omni antenna( 2 sets of fasten nuts included) The procedure of omni antenna installation is: 1． Mount the bracket to pole by one set of nuts, fasten the nuts by Spanner; 2． Mount the omni antenna to the bracket by another set of nuts; 3． Adjust antenna to secure it installed vertically; 4． Fasten the nuts by Spanner.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE 5 5.1 MSR2000 Installation Install MSR2000 into Solar Shield MSR2000 system include shade and mounting parts, it will provide easy installation and prevent system overheating under direct sunlight. Figure 1 Shade，mounting parts and eight screws With the screws provided, place the mounting parts onto the shade. Secure the mounting parts screws and nuts as shown in Figure 2.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE 5.2 Install MSR2000 on Mast Figure 4 Install the anchor ear Figure 5 Mounting the MSR2000 system 5.3 Mounting MSR2000 onto wall The MSR2000 can also be mounted onto a wall instead of a pole, by following these instructions. First, place the installation bracket against the wall to mark out the four positions to drill for the bolts. Proceed to drill into the four marked positions and screw in the expansion bolts.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE cable to a grounding bar. Oil both the exposed ends of the grounding cable. Once the grounding installation is completed, it should appear as shown in Figure 7.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE 6 Lightning Protection Installation The lightning protector is to protect MSR2000 to avoid damage by burst high current from lightning. Lightning protector should be installed between radio port and antenna feeder, and the lightning protector should be connected with lightning system of the building . Tools needed: Paper knife, Pliers, Crimping Pliers, Cross Screwdriver, and Spanners.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE 7 Feeder Installation Feeder is used to connect antenna with MSR2000. Due to the high propagation loss for high frequency waves , the feeder must be as short as possible to get minimum loss of signal strength. If long feeder must to be used, higher diameter feeder is recommended. The typical propagation loss of 100 meters is listed in the table below: Feeder type Cable loss for 2.4GHz Cable loss for 5.8GHz (dB/100m) (dB/dB/100m) 1/2” 12.8 21.4 7D 25.7 42.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE 8 Ethernet Cable Installation At least one MSR2000 should be connected to the wired network to function as the gateway for traffic between the wired network and the wireless mesh network. Locate the nine pin Ethernet cable and uncap the connector protector on the MSR2000.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE 10 Administrating the MSR2000 There are two methods of performing the quick start configuration: using the Quick Setup Wizard provided by MSR series’ Web-based Management Interface (WMI), or using the setup command of the router’s Command Line Interface (CLI). Azalea recommends using the Quick Setup Wizard which is accessible from most modern internet browsers such as Internet Explorer.
AZALEA MSR2000 INSTALLATION GUIDE Node 3 is similar to node 1 in that it has one backhaul radio and one access radio, which means it is also capable of connecting to other MSR series routers and servicing client devices. However because it is not directly connected to a wired network, it is called an AP node.
