SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-310 Hardware Installation Guide About this Manual This guide provides the system specifications of the SpiderCloud® Radio Node 310 (SCRN-310). It includes detailed hardware installation instructions, the boot sequence, and expected LED behavior both during the boot-up and under operating conditions. An appendix shows the radio node antenna patterns. The primary audience for this guide includes network planners, system administrators and installation personnel.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-310 Hardware Installation Guide Radio Node Features The radio node supports the following features: • Complete enterprise mobility using licensed 3G and LTE spectrum • Self Organizing Network (SON) capabilities for autonomous setup, operation, and management • Secure boot • Transparent integration into enterprise network environments • Certificate-based authentication with the SpiderCloud services node Radio Node System Isometric Top View and Bottom View The radio no
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-310 Hardware Installation Guide System Specifications Following are the system specifications for the radio node frequency bands of operation, system size, environmental requirements, power, and compliance. Frequency Bands of Operation SpiderCloud Wireless currently provides two versions of the SCRN-310 for operation in the following UMTS and LTE band combinations.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-310 Hardware Installation Guide Power The radio node is compliant with IEEE 802.3at (PoE+): • Power consumption: 23W maximum • UMTS transmitter output power: 1x 250 mW (24 dBm) RMS radio power • LTE transmit output power: 2x125 mW (24 dBm) Compliance • ETSI: — EN 301 489-1 — EN 301 489-23 — EN 301 908-1 — EN 301 908-3 — EN 50385 — EN 60950-1 (safety) • IEEE 802.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-310 Hardware Installation Guide Antennas The radio node includes four integrated antennas: two UMTS antennas and two LTE antennas. The UMTS radio operates in 1x2 mode with receive diversity. The LTE radio operates in 2x2 mode with MIMO. Tip: To maximize antenna transmission, SpiderCloud Wireless recommends not installing the radio node inside a metallic enclosure.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-310 Hardware Installation Guide Input Power The radio node receives its power from a standard PoE+ switch (typical) or injector. The radio node is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3at Power Over Ethernet (PoE+) specification. 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.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-310 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-310 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-310 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.
