Installation Requirements and Recommendations Chapter 3 ● 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.
Installation Requirements and Recommendations Chapter 3 ● Lightning — The MP-620 includes its own built-in lightning protection. However, you should make sure that the unit, any supporting structure, and cables are all properly grounded. Additional protection using lightning rods, lightning arrestors, or surge suppressors may also be employed. ● Rain — The MP-620 is weatherproofed against rain. Also, prolonged heavy rain has no significant effect on the radio signal.
Installation Requirements and Recommendations Chapter 3 MP Radio Safety Advisories When 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.
Installing an MP-620 Chapter 3 Installing an MP-620 The MP-620 includes its own bracket kit for mounting the unit to a 1.5 to 2 inch diameter steel pole or tube. The pole-mounting bracket allows the unit to be mounted to part of a radio mast or tower structure. The unit also has a wall-mounting bracket kit that enables it to be fixed to a building wall or roof when using external antennas.
Installing an MP-620 Chapter 3 Figure 5. Attaching the Bracket to the Pole Attach bracket to pole with mounting grooves facing up 3 Use the included nuts to tightly secure the MP-620 to the bracket. Mounting on Larger Diameter Poles In addition, there is a method for attaching the pole-mounting bracket to a pole that is 2 to 5 inches in diameter using an adjustable steel band clamp (not included in the kit). A steel band clamp up to 0.5 inch (1.
Installing an MP-620 Chapter 3 Using the Wall-Mounting Bracket Perform the following steps to mount the unit to a wall using the wall-mounting bracket: 1 Figure 7. Always attach the bracket to a wall with the open end of the mounting grooves facing up (see following figure). Wall-Mounting Bracket Mounting Grooves 2 Position the bracket in the intended location and mark the position of the three mounting screw holes.
Installing an MP-620 Chapter 3 a Solder the grounding cable to the grounding nut supplied with the lightning protector. Trapeze Networks recommends that you use 6-gauge cable for the grounding cable. The grounding cable must be properly earthed in order to provide adequate protection. b Attach the grounding nut, locking washer, and hex nut to the lightning protector, in the order shown in Figure 8. Figure 8.
Installing an MP-620 Chapter 3 Figure 9. Connecting External Antennas to the MP-620 MP-620 Connecting Cables to the Unit 1 Attach the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the MP-620. Note. The Ethernet cable included with the package is 30 m (100 ft) long. To wire a longer cable (maximum 100 m, 325 ft), use the connector pinout information in Appendix B. 2 For extra protection against rain or moisture, apply weatherproofing tape (not included) around the Ethernet connector.
Installing an MP-620 Chapter 3 Figure 10. Attaching an Ethernet Cable to the MP-620 Ethernet Cable Ground Wire Connecting the Power Injector To connect the MP-620 to a power source: Caution! Do not install the power injector outdoors. The unit is for indoor installation only. Note. The MP-620’s Ethernet port does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Do not try to power the unit by connecting it directly to a network switch that provides IEEE 802.3af PoE.
Connecting an MP to an MX Switch Chapter 3 Figure 11. Connecting Cables to the Power Injector AC power Ethernet cable from LAN switch Inp ut Ou tpu t Power LED indicator Ethernet cable to MP-620 3 Insert the power cable plug directly into the standard AC receptacle on the power injector. 4 Plug the other end of the power cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket, AC power source. Note. For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord.
Connecting an MP to an MX Switch Chapter 3 You can use the CLI or RingMaster to configure an MP access port or Distributed MP connection. (See the Trapeze Mobility System Software Configuration Guide or the Trapeze RingMaster User’s Guide.) Figure 12 shows how to insert a Cat 5 cable into 10/100 Ethernet port on an MX switch. Refer to this figure as you perform the procedure. Figure 12.
Connecting an MP to an MX Switch Chapter 3 1 Insert a Cat 5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector as shown in Figure 12. For connection to an MP access point, use a straight-through cable. 2 When the link is activated, observe the MP LED for the port on the MX switch: MX Switch’s MP LED Meaning Solid green For an MP access point’s active link, all the following are true: • MP access point has booted. • MP access point has received a valid configuration from the MX switch.

B Cables and Pinouts This appendix describes the wiring and pin assignments for the cables and connectors that can be used with the MP-620. Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments Appendix B Figure 13. Pin Numbering on RJ-45 Connector 8 1 8 1 10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or 100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments Appendix B Straight-Through Wiring Because the 10/100 Mbps Input port on the power injector uses an MDI pin configuration, you must use “straight-through” cable for network connections to hubs or switches that only have MDI-X ports. However, if the device to which you are connecting supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use either “straight-through” or “crossover” cable. Figure 14.
8-Pin DIN Connector Pinout Appendix B 8-Pin DIN Connector Pinout The Ethernet cable from the power injector connects to an 8-pin DIN connector on the MP-620. This connector is described in the following figure and table. Figure 16. 8-Pin Ethernet DIN Connector 2 1 3 7 4 8 5 6 Table 10.
8-Pin DIN Connector Pinout Appendix B 8-Pin DIN to RJ-45 Cable Wiring To construct an extended Ethernet cable to connect from the power injector’s RJ-45 Output port to the MP-620’s 8-pin DIN connector, follow the wiring diagram below. Use Category 5 or better UTP or STP cable, maximum length 100 m (328 ft), and be sure to connect all four wire pairs. Note. To construct a reliable Ethernet cable, always use the proper tools or ask a professional cable supplier to construct the cable. Figure 17.
