Site Planning

Preparing for Installation

To ensure safe and durable wiring, router installation must follow appropriate electrical and building codes. Follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, unless local codes in your area take precedence over the NEC code.

The following distance limits apply to installations that have 10/100 Base-T Category 5 network cables attached to the routers:

 300 feet maximum between devices for 100BaseT operation  500 feet maximum for 10BaseT operation.

The Ethernet duplex and speed setting is configurable.

National Electrical Codes (NEC) Article 800 requires the use of Agency Listed (UL/CSA/TUV) Building Entrance Protector for all power and data communications cables entering a building. The NEC intends by Article 800 to protect the building and occupants from fires caused by transient voltage and current surges.

Ethernet data cable installations having lengths greater than 140 feet in the outdoor environment must use a UL497 approved (UL/CSA/TUV Listed) primary protection device at the building entrance. Ethernet data cable installations having lengths less than 140 feet in the outdoor environment may use a UL497A (UL/CSA/TUV Listed) secondary protection device at the building entrance. Tropos Data Protection Device and Network Protection Units are UL497A secondary protection devices.

Location Guidelines

Tropos routers are radio devices and therefore susceptible to interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best performance:

 Install the unit in an area where trees, buildings, and large steel structures do not obstruct

radio signals to and from the antenna. Direct line-of-sight operation is best.

 Install the unit away from microwave ovens or other devices operating in the 2.4 GHz,

4.9 GHZ, or 5.8 GHz frequency range.

 Install the unit away from other possible sources of 802.11a/b/g/n interference, such as

cordless phones, home spy cameras, frequency hopping (FHSS) and DSSS LAN transceivers (non-802.11), electronic news gathering video links, radars, amateur radios, land mobile radio services, local government sites (such as law enforcement), fixed microwave services, local TV transmission and private fixed point transmitters.

Site Surveys

Due to variations in component configuration, placement, and physical environment, each installation is unique. Before installing routers, perform a site survey to determine the optimum placement of units for maximum range, coverage, and network performance. Consider the following factors when performing a site survey:

Preparing for Installation

 Data rates—Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum

radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver threshold sensitivity occurs as radio data rate increases.

 Antenna orientation—Proper antenna orientation is a critical factor in maximizing radio

range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to gain and antenna height measured from the ground.

 Physical environment—Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled

areas. The less cluttered the operating environment, the greater the range.

 Obstructions—A physical obstruction, such as a building or tree, can block or hinder

communication. A void locating antennas in a location where there is an obstruction between sending and receiving devices.

 Building materials—Radio penetration is influenced by the building material used in

construction. For example, drywall construction permits greater range than concrete blocks.

Power Source

Caution

Note

The Tropos 6310 and 6320 routers are powered by power over Ethernet (PoE) input:

 PoE (20-60Vdc)  100-277 VAC with external accessory

Tropos 6310 and 6320 routers use proprietary PoE. The routers are not 802.3af compliant.

Safety

Installing the routers can pose a serious hazard. Be sure to take precautions to avoid the following:

 Exposure to high voltage lines during installation  Falls when working at heights or with ladders  Injuries from dropping tools and equipment  Contact with AC wiring

Mounting Strategies

When choosing mounting locations, consider the available mounting structures and antenna clearance. The router should always be mounted with the top of the unit horizontal and level and with the antennas facing upward.

It is usually best to attach ground and data cables to the router prior to mounting. Before mounting the router, review the wiring instructions in “Grounding the Router” on page 21 and

“Connecting Data Cables” on page 18 to determine the best strategy for the selected location.

To eliminate potential interference from the mounting structure, the router should be mounted with at least 4 feet of clearance around the antennas.

Mounting Strategies

Acceptable options for mounting on a streetlight are shown in Figure 2. In each case the router is mounted to assure clearance for the antennas above the height of the streetlight.

Proper Use of Clamps

The mounting assembly contains a clamp to secure the router to the mounting structure. Figure 3 illustrates the proper use of the clamp. The clamp must be routed through a slot in the pole bracket as shown in the figure, and then attached to the pole and tightened.

The pole bracket should be leveled before it is secured to the pole.

Pole, Tower, and Streetlight Mounting Instructions

Note

Pole, Tower, and Streetlight Mounting Instructions

This section explains how to mount the router on a pole, tower, or streetlight. It is best to mount the router to aluminum or galvanized steel structures. The mounting brackets are designed to pierce any oxidation layers that are on the outside of the pole, thereby assuring good quality connection to the grounded structure.

Due to potential antenna obstruction issues, the router is not designed to be directly mounted on a building wall. If it is necessary to mount the router on a wall, follow the instructions for mounting on a wooden pole (“Wood Pole Mounting” on page 13), and attempt to mount the router with maximum possible clearance around the antennas.

The router should always be mounted with the top of the router horizontal and level and with the antennas facing upward.

It is best to attach ground and data cables to the router before sliding the router into the mounting bracket, as explained in this section. Before mounting the router, review the wiring instructions in

“Grounding the Router” on page 21 and “Connecting Data Cables” on page 18 to determine the best

strategy for the selected location.

Mounting to wood, concrete, or painted poles may require primary grounding for the unit. Check the national electrical codes in your area for specific rules.

To continue installing the router, see the next section, “Connecting Data Cables.”

Connecting Data Cables

The router is equipped with two Ethernet ports that support RJ45 connectors. To provide power to the router as well as wired network connectivity, you must connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN port. Cable connection to the MGT port is used for router configuration.

Connecting Data Cables

This section describes how to connect the Ethernet cables.

The router is shipped pre-configured. For post-installation changes in configuration, you can communicate with the router by way of its wireless connection. For more information, see the Tropos Networks Configuration Guide.

Only use shielded Cat5 cable rated for outdoor use. For protection against risk of fire, electrical hazard and to ensure the reliable operation of this equipment, the shields of the Cat5 cable must be properly terminated and bonded to the unit and to the protective earth (PE) at the building entrance.

National Electrical Codes (NEC) Article 800 requires the use of Agency Listed (UL/CSA) Building Entrance Protector for all power and communications cables entering a building. The NEC intends by Article 800 to protect the building and occupants from fires caused by transient voltage and current surges.

DC voltage may be present on RJ-45 pins 4,5 (+) and 7,8 (-)

Attention

Note

Une tension continue peut être présente sur les broches RJ-45 4, 5 (+) et 7, 8 (-).

This is not a mid-span powered device. Never attempt to daisy-chain Power Over Ethernet devices.

Connecting the Ethernet cable

1. Have the Ethernet data cable, nut, rubber boots, and cable gland available.

2. Remove the cable gland from the bottom of the router. For power and wired network

connectivity, use the LAN port, which is farther from the edge of the router than the MGT port (see Figure 11).

3. Press the tab on the RJ45 connector down as you push the cable through the nut. Make sure

that the orientation is consistent with Figure 10.

4. Separate the rubber boot as needed and slide the connector through the boot. Use the boot

with the smaller diameter opening, unless the cable is too wide to permit the boot to close completely.

5. Slide the cable through the cable gland, as shown in Figure 10.

6 Wind Loading Considerations

Note

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHT O) 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.

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 router weighs approximately 5 lbs, including all mounting hardware. The router can be mounted to the pole portion of the streetlight or to the mast arm portion.

When the router 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 router is mounted to the pole portion of the structure, the sail area of the router is approximately 1 square foot. Pole manufacturers have advised Tropos Networks that small communications devices such as Tropos routers do not present any significant static or dynamic load to these structures.
