SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION Required Pre-Provisioning Equipment The following equipment is required to support pre-provisioning of the Extender Bridge, typically in a lab environment: A PC with Trilliant’s TstBench software installed and connected to the same Ethernet network as the SecureMesh Extender Bridge. The Extender Bridge’s default IP address for Extender functionality is 192.168.0.2; the default IP address for Collector functionality is 192.
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide The Extender Bridge enclosure must be mounted at least 18 feet (5.5 meters) above ground level, although radio performance and coverage will generally improve as the mounting height is increased. The installation location must not obstruct radio communications. For example: — The mounting structure should not block radio coverage or be adjacent to structures that block radio coverage).

SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide INSTALLING THE EXTENDER BRIDGE Physically installing the SecureMesh Extender Bridge involves: Mounting the device Grounding and protecting the device Attaching the antenna Connecting to a source of power Completing the installation Installation of the Extender Bridge on either a utility pole or streetlight is discussed in the following subsections.
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Utility Pole Installation To install an Extender Bridge on a utility pole, observe the following procedures: Mounting the Device Mount the Bracket The DK-0029A vertical pole mounting bracket has an extension arm and a mounting pole as shown on the right. Mount the equipment extension arm to the utility pole using bolts or bands.
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Grounding and Protecting the Device The surge protector box should be attached to the bottom of the Extender Bridge. The surge protector will be attached using the ground screw as a pivot point then the box will be swung into place against a mounting bracket screw.
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Attaching the NAN Antenna Attach the 2.4 GHz NAN antenna to the N-type female connector as shown in to the right. There are two Ntype connectors at the base of the Extender Bridge: one N-type connector is open (exposed), and the other is capped. Use the open connector. Hand tighten or, equivalently, tighten the antenna using a torque-limiting tool tighten it to 14 inch-pounds (1.
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Connecting the Device to a Source of Power The Power Service Unit can be used to provide PoE power and battery backup for the Extender Bridge. Please refer to the Power Service Unit Installation Guide for more information (Trilliant document PL-0042A, Installation Guide, SecureMesh 24V PSU).
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Completing the installation Check the connections and close the device Check to ensure all connections and grounding are proper, and replace the surge protector’s cover and the Ethernet connection cover on the base of the Extender Bridge. These screws should be tightened to 15 footpounds (20 Newton-meters) of torque.
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Streetlight Pole Mounting and Grounding To install an Extender Bridge on a streetlight, observe the following procedures: Mounting the Device Mount the Bracket Chose one of the two available Streetlight Installation Kits from the Extender Bridge accessory list. The kits vary only in the length of the cable to attach to the streetlight photo cell.
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Attach The Extender Bridge to the Bracket Use the provided mounting bracket and appropriate length ¼―diameter screws that are provided in the accessory kit to attach the SecureMesh Extender Bridge to the mounting pole (see the figure on the right). Before tightening, rotate the device to ensure there is ample room for the omnidirectional antennas to clear the mount stand and streetlight pole.
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Attaching the NAN Antenna Attach the Antenna Attach the 2.4 GHz NAN antenna to the N-type female connector as shown in to the right. There are two Ntype connectors at the base of the Extender Bridge: one N-type connector is open (exposed), and the other is capped. Use the open connector. Hand tighten. If you prefer to tighten the antenna using a torque-limiting tool tighten it to 14 inchpounds (1.5 Newton-meters).
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Connecting the Device to a Source of Power The Streetlight Installation Kit is to be used with constantly powered streetlights that use standard photocell adapters. The Streetlight Installation Kit is complete with an A/C to D/C power supply that also provides surge protection.
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Completing the Installation Check the connections and close the device Check to ensure all connections and grounding are proper and replace the surge protection box cover and the Ethernet cover to the base of the Extender Bridge. These screws should be tightened to 15 foot-pounds (20 Newton-meters) of torque.
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide COMMISSIONING THE EXTENDER BRIDGE Configuring the SecureMesh Extender Bridge Assuming the Extender Bridge is properly pre-provisioned, use of automatic provisioning as described in the ―Trilliant Network Element Management System (NEMS) Administration Guide‖ (Trilliant document number TLT-CS-ADM-94) recommended.
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide APPENDIX Grounding Guidelines Proper grounding protects both your SecureMesh device and any equipment connected to it. For the surge protection circuitry built into the SecureMesh equipment to be effective, proper grounding of the unit is necessary. Protection is essential if the unit is installed on tall structures or in areas subject to lightning.
SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Making Robust and Lasting Connections Regardless of the grounding point you use, make sure the connections are capable of retaining low resistance and integrity over time and with exposure to the elements by use of an antioxidant compound. For protection against corrosion and rust, wrap all connections with a product such as Scotch® 130C or 2228 Rubber Mastic Tape.
