SR1430 Installation and User Guide Page 7 1.0 Introduction The Vivint SR1430 is an 802.11n beamforming indoor/outdoor-rated wireless Access Point (AP) /Wireless Distribution System (WDS) designed for the deployment of advanced IEEE 802.11 wireless services in harsh environments. SR1430 is a POE device. The SR1430 is capable of filtering, classifying, shaping, forwarding Layer 3 traffic. The SR1430 devices are NOT sold through authorized or non-retail distribution channels.
SR1430 Installation and User Guide Page 8 1.1.1 Data rates Under ideal deployment conditions (low line of sight, low interference, and low moisture content), the SR1430 router can operate over a range of up to 1 km or provide a high-speed connection of 100 Mbps The range also depends on the type of antenna used. The maximum data rate for a link decreases as the operating range increases.
SR1430 Installation and User Guide Page 9 Avoid any partial line of sight between the antennas Be cautious of trees or other foliage that may be near the path, or may grow and obstruct the path Be sure there is enough clearance from buildings and that no building construction may eventually block the path Check the topology of the land between the antennas using topographical maps, aerial photos, or even satellite image data (software packages are available that may include this information for
SR1430 Installation and User Guide Page 10 1.1.5 Radio Interference The avoidance of radio interference is an important part of wireless link planning. Interference is caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel frequency. You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to determine if there are any strong radio signals using the 802.11a/n channel frequencies and for the presence of TDWR transmissions.
SR1430 Installation and User Guide Page 11 Example Installation is shown below. 1.3 Grounding It is important that the wireless router, cables, and any supporting structures are properly grounded. The wireless router unit includes a grounding screw for attaching a ground wire. Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes.

Patch cable from radio to Citel (SPD) - Make a shielded CAT5e cable such that its shielding foil is grounded to the metal shielding of the RJ45 connectors at either end as shown in slide#10 3. Connect one end of the cable to the radio and the other end to the “IN” port on the Citel surge suppressor 4.

Logging is always enabled. SR1430 Installation and User Guide Ver. 0.
SR1430 Installation and User Guide Page 15 2.0 Hardware Installation The SR1430, is a wireless AP device is designed to be deployed outdoors, exposed to all elements (extreme heat or sun, rain, snow, ice, cold) and mounted on a wall, pole, or mast. The SR1430 is supplied complete with its own mounting hardware kit for attaching the unit to a 1-2.5” diameter metal pole or tube or as part of a radio mast or tower structure. The supplied SR1430 48V power supply is suitable for outdoor use.
SR1430 Installation and User Guide Page 16 the network administrator pre-provision the SR1430 system to be Installed (taking note of settings, passwords, Channel, MAC and IP addresses) prior to physical Installation, and confirm that the device is fully operational and free from fault. 2.1.1 Testing Basic Link Operation Set up the units over a very short range (15 to 25 feet), either outdoors or indoors.
