SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide Link Activity Ethernet Port Figure 5 Ethernet Port The radio node for use with external antennas has two antenna ports with TNC connectors labeled A and B. Connector A transmits and receives. Connector B is receive only. B A Figure 6 Antenna Port TNC Connectors The Top-Panel LED The radio node has one top-panel tricolor LED to indicate power and status. This is the only LED visible under normal operating conditions.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide Per IEEE 802.3at, use standard Cat 5e or better twisted-pair cable with a maximum length restriction of 100 meters (328 feet) for PoE+. This restriction minimizes power loss between the PoE+ power source and the radio node. Power is distributed over two pairs of the four available pairs in Cat 5e cables. The radio node can accept power on either used or un-used pairs.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide Step 3 Connect an Ethernet cable from the injector’s OUT port to the radio node. The injector will now inject power onto a pair of wire pairs in the cable. The radio node will expect a nominal 48V DC input (57V max) from a typical PoE+ injector. Select the Radio Node Location Radio nodes can be installed in a wide range of locations including walls, ceilings, and plenum spaces.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide Use Table 2 to determine the maximum distance between radio node units. Greater separation may affect coverage or system performance. Table 2: Recommended Radio Node Separation Distances Type of Building Max Recommended Separation Warehouses and large open-spaced buildings 70 m (230 feet) Open-plan offices 45 m (148 feet) Closed-plan offices (e.g., individual rooms - plasterboard) 30 m (98 feet) Closed-plan offices (e.g.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide Bracket Mounting and Cabling Guidelines Incorrectly cabling and mounting a radio node can result in crushed cables and loss of communications to the unit. Follow these guidelines in cabling the radio node and mounting it on the bracket: • Ensure that the cabling is properly routed and dressed. • Ensure that the pedestal base is fully inserted into the mount bracket so that it locks into place and is flush.
