Connecting Peripherals

The Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell can be configured to source DC power on the Ethernet connector pins 4,5 and 7,8, This capability allows the cell to power remote peripherals such as backhaul point-to-point radios, video cameras, or fiber optic transceivers. The Tropos PoE power sourcing capability DC output is a fully isolated supply and may be used to power either positive or negative polarity peripherals.

The Tropos PoE power sourcing capability is not compliant with the IEEE 802.3af standard; however, many IEEE 802.3af-compliant power devices (PDs) will operate using the power sourcing equipment capabilities of the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell.

The Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell can supply up to a total of 14W of DC power distributed to the LAN port, Management port, or both. Each port must be configured for the same voltage. To configure the voltage, use the Tropos Configuration Utility (see Tropos Networks User Guide) or an element management system such as Tropos Control EMS (see the Tropos Control EMS Installation and User Guide). The DC output voltage can be configured to 12Vdc, 24Vdc, 48Vdc, or to the Off state (0Vdc). Tab l e 2 lists the maximum power output as a function of voltage.

Table 2 PoE Power Sourcing Power Output

Connecting Peripherals

Voltage Max Power Output

12Vdc 14W

24Vdc 12W

48Vdc 10W

In the event of an over-current or short-circuit fault event, the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell will remove PoE output for three to five seconds before attempting to resume sourcing power to the peripheral device.

The power sourcing feature is covered by battery backup (“Battery Backup Operation” on page

38). If the battery backup capability is installed, PoE output power is unaffected by the temporary loss of AC power.

Attenuation with External Antennas

If external antennas are used, it is necessary to adjust the transmit power attenuation to provide the correct power level for the Tropos 5110 Wi-Fi cell. Use the following formula to compute the required attenuation level:

Antenna gain (dBi) - 7.4 dBi - Cable loss = Attenuation setting

The attenuation setting cannot be negative; therefore, a positive attenuation setting is only required if the antenna gain is greater than 7.4dBi. Tab l e 11 shows the proper attenuation settings for the AN120022, AN100022, and AN120044 antennas, assuming that low-loss cable is used (1dBi). The attenuation should be rounded to the nearest half-integer value.

F Wind Loading Considerations

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standards manual, “Standard Specifications for Structural Supports for Signs, Luminaires and Traffic Signals,” governs most structural support issues related to traffic lighting and controls. Many state and city public works departments site the AASHTO standard as the guide for their requirements. Local municipalities in coastal states, which experience frequent hurricanes, etc., may have exceptions to the AASHTO standard that require higher design limits for wind velocity or dead load.

Numerous pole and mast arm assemblies are used for traffic controls and traffic lighting. Each assembly and installation is unique and worthy of an evaluation of the static and dynamic load bearing capabilities; however, in most cases, the assembly will include a pole with a single 6', 9' or 12' mast arm holding a single luminaire. Many of these mast arms are typically designed to hold hundreds of pounds of static load and to carry several square meters of sail area in 80mph winds. The typical mast arm is capable of supporting a single traffic control (typically weighing around 160 lbs) and a single traffic sign (typically presenting a few square meters of sail area). A single luminaire typically weighs about 60 lbs and presents about 3 square feet of sail area.

Note

Each assembly and installation is unique and worthy of an evaluation of the static and dynamic load bearing capabilities. It is your responsibility to evaluate the load bearing capabilities of the structure.

The Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell weighs <14 lbs, including all mounting hardware. The Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell may be mounted to either the pole portion of the streetlight or to the mast arm portion. Many municipalities find mounting the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell to the pole portion to provide better aesthetics in the public space.

When the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell is mounted to the pole or mast arm, most of the unit is hidden by the pole or mast arm and therefore presents minimal additional sail area to the structure. When the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell is mounted to the pole portion of the structure, the sail area of the cell is approximately 1 square foot. Pole manufacturers have advised Tropos Networks that small communications devices such as the Tropos 5210 Wi-Fi cell do not present any significant static or dynamic load to these structures.
