About This Guide Warranty and Software Licenses xii Indoor Mobility Point Installation Guide
1 1 MP Overview A Trapeze Networks Mobility Point (MP) provides IEEE 802.11 wireless access to the network. MPs are designed for use with a Trapeze Networks Mobility Exchange (MX). MPs require hardware installation only. All configuration for an MP takes place on the MX. This guide describes the indoor MP models: ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ MP-432 MP-422 MP-372 MP-371 The MP-372 and MP-422 have one 802.11a radio and one 802.11b/g radios. Both radios have internal diversity omnidirectional antennas.
MP Overview External Hardware Features External Hardware Features Figure 1–1 and Figure 1–2 show the external hardware features of the MP-372, MP-371, MP-422. The MP-371 and MP-372 have slightly different dimensions. Figure 1–1. Indoor MP-422 Model —Top View Diameter 6.75 inches (17.14 cm) Height 2.25 inches (5.71 cm) Figure 1–2. Indoor MP Models—Bottom View External antenna connectors Kensington security slot 802.11b/g Unlock 802.
M P Overview External Hardware Features Figure 1–4. Indoor MP-432 Model—Bottom View No external antenna connectors Lock Port 2 Port 1 Cable Ports The Indoor MPs have two RJ-45 ports. (See Figure 1–2.) Each port provides a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet connection to an MX (with the exception of the MP-432, which has a 10/1000BASE-TX). The connection can be direct to an MX or indirect through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. The MP receives power and data through the RJ-45 ports.
MP Overview External Hardware Features External Antenna Connectors The Indoor MPs (except for the MP-432) has connectors for attaching optional external antennas. (See Figure 1–2.) Table 1– 1 lists the external antenna models. Note: The numbers in parentheses in the table below are the numbers that appear on the back of an 802.11a antenna reflector plate. To verify an 802.11a external antenna model number, look for the number in parentheses Table 1– 1.
M P Overview External Hardware Features Figure 1–5 shows some of the 802.11b/g antennas. Figure 1–5. External 802.11b/g Antennas Model ANT-1060 Model ANT-1120 Model ANT-1180 The 802.11a external antennas look similar to the 802.11b/g model ANT-1180, but each has a reflector plate specific to the model number. You can identify an 802.11a external antenna model by looking on the back of the reflector plate. Do not reverse or remove the reflector plate. It is required for antenna operation.
MP Overview External Hardware Features Note: The solid surface mounting option requires Cat 5 cable that does not have strain relief. The other mounting options can use Cat 5 cable with or without strain relief. Status LEDs The MP has LEDs that provide status information for the device. Figure 1–6 shows the locations of the LEDs. Table 1– 2 describes the LEDs. Figure 1–6. Health and Radio LEDs Radio 1 LED Radio 2 LED Health LED Table 1– 2.
M P Overview Connection Options Connection Options You can connect an MP access port directly to an MX port or indirectly to MX appliances through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. In either case, use Category 5 (CAT 5) cable with straight-through signaling for each MP connection. You also can provide data link redundancy by connecting both of the ports directly to MX ports or indirectly to MX appliances through the network.
