Trapeze Networks A Campus Connectivity MP (MP-632) can be installed in a variety of locations, both indoors and outdoors. If the location is set to indoors, then a limited number of available channels are displayed for configuration. If the location is set to outdoors, only the regulatory allowed outdoor channels appropriate for the country and domain can be configured on the MP. The default operational mode of the MP is outdoor.
Trapeze Networks Installing and Connecting an MP Note: Before installing an MP, you might need to generate a network plan and an MP work order with RingMaster. (See RingMaster Network Plan and Work Orders below.) Installation Requirements and Recommendations For best results, follow these requirements and recommendations before installing a MP-632.
Trapeze Networks Lightning The MP-632 has 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-632 weatherproof enclosure is designed to protect against dust, rain, and water jets. Snow and Ice Falling snow, like rain, has no significant effect on the radio signal.
Trapeze Networks Installing an MP-632 The MP-632 includes a bracket kit for mounting the unit to a 3.81 to 5.08 cm (1.5 to 2-inch) diameter steel pole or tube. The unit also has a wall-mounting bracket kit that can be used to install the unit on a building wall. You also have the option to mount the MP on a larger pole (up to 30.48 cm or 12-inch diameter) using the bracket kit and two metal band straps (straps not provided by Trapeze). Hardware installation of the MP-632 involves these steps: 1.
Trapeze Networks Mounting the Unit You can mount the MP-632 using either the wall-mounting bracket or the wall-mounting bracket combined with the pole-mounting bracket (brackets are provided for both a 3.81 to 5.08 cm (1.5 to 2-inch) diameter steel pole or tube or a larger size pole or tube). Use one of the following procedures. Using the Pole-Mounting Bracket Perform the following steps to mount the unit to a 3.81 to 5.08 cm (1.5 to 2-inch) diameter steel pole or tube using the mounting bracket: 1.
Trapeze Networks 3. Insert the four screws into the holes on the flat bracket and secure the brackets to the pole using the provided split washers and nuts. 4. Position the MP-632 unit so that the mounting holes overlap with the same-sized holes on the pole-mounting bracket.
Trapeze Networks 5. Use the 2 small bolts and washers (included in kit) to tightly secure the MP-632 to the pole-mounting bracket. Note: This pole mounting procedure can also be used to attached the MP-632 unit to a horizontal pole. Mounting on Larger Diameter Poles There is also a method for attaching the pole-mounting bracket to a larger diameter pole using two adjustable steel band straps (not included in the kit).
Trapeze Networks Figure 1–1. Attaching the Bracket Using Steel Band Straps Using the Wall-Mounting Bracket Perform the following steps to mount the unit to a wall using the wall-mounting bracket. Note: Always attach the bracket to a wall with the flat side flush against the wall (see following figure) Figure 1–2. Wall-Mounting Bracket 1.
Trapeze Networks 2. Position the MP-632 unit so that the mounting holes overlap with the same-sized holes on the wall-mounted bracket. 3. Use the 2 small bolts and washers (included in kit) to tightly secure the MP-632 to the wall-mounted bracket.
Trapeze Networks Connecting External Antennas The supported antennas models are: ❑ ❑ 802.11bgn Radio ❍ ANT-7360A-OUT (stick, N-type jack) If this antenna is used the unused center antenna port must be terminated. ❍ ANT-77555-OUT (3 RP-SMA jack) ❍ ANT-74520-OUT (3 RP-SMA) 802.11an Radio ❍ ANT-7360A-OUT (stick) ❍ ANT-74520-OUT (3 RP-SMA) ❍ ANT-77555-OUT (3 RP-SMA) ❍ ANT-5007-OUT (2 N-type) - mainly for outdoor application. Bands 5150-5250 and 5470-5725 MHz are not available for this antenna.
Trapeze Networks If the external-antenna command is used for the MP-632 it is ignored at the CLI. If the ANT-5007-OUT antenna is in use on the 11a/n radio then the radio configuration reverts to 2 x 3 mode rather than 3 x 3 mode and the middle port for the radio must not be used. Ethernet The MP-632 supports a single IEEE 802.3-compliant auto-sensing 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet interface on the Ethernet input connector.

Connect one end of the short RF coaxial cable to the MP-632 N-type connector, and connect the other end to the lightning arrestor. b. Connect one end of the 3m (9.8 ft) RF coaxial cable to the lightning arrestor, and connect the other end to the outdoor antenna.
Trapeze Networks Connecting the Power Injector To connect the wireless bridge to a power source: Note: The Ethernet port on the wireless bridge 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 MX that provides IEEE 802.3af PoE. Always connect the unit to the included power injector module.
Trapeze Networks 2. Insert the power cable plug directly into the standard AC receptacle on the power injector. 3. 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. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country. Checking the LED Indicators The MP-632 has LEDs that provide status information for the device. The table below lists the function of the LEDs.
Trapeze Networks Aligning Antennas for Bridge or Mesh Links If you are installing MP-632 units for wireless bridge or Mesh Services operation, after the units have been mounted, connected, and the radios are operating, the antennas must be accurately aligned to ensure optimum performance on the bridge or mesh links. This alignment process is particularly important for long-range point-to-point links.
