3.5.4 IDF Access Point Planning

MobileAccess recommends that each independent IDF Telecom closet is adequately planned for
installation of the access points to increase the amount of isolation and reduce the amount of RF
leakage between access points.

MobileAccess recommends the following options for access point installation:

• Wall Mounting of MobileAccess supported Access Point

• Rack-Mounting of MobileAccess supported Access Points

Utilizing the mounting hardware distributed from each supported access point vendor, Access
point can be mounted on a wall within the IDF or telecom closet and connected with the
appropriate low-loss jumper cables to the appropriate 860 WLAN module interface ports.

MobileAccess has also found that mounting the access points in a 19” rack system has proven to
be effective against RF leakage between access points. In this configuration,

can be installed per 19” shelving unit which takes up 1U of space per two access points.

MobileAccess has also found that mounting the access points in a 19” rack system has proven to
be effective against RF leakage between access points. In this configuration as detailed in the
picture below, two access points can be installed per 19” shelving unit which takes up 1U of
space per two access points.

4.3 Wi-Fi Coverage Expander (WCE) Installation

Note: It is assumed the antennas have already been installed at the remote locations.

A WCE unit is installed near each antenna. The WCE can be installed in the following
configurations:

• Tie-Wrap / Wire-Tie to a fixture

• Wall Mounted – using four screws

• In-line with the coax cables

The WCE will be connected on one side to a 0.5'' low loss coaxial cable (typically running to a
remote wiring closet), and to the Passive Broadband Antenna usually through a jumper (flexible
1' coax cable). The following sections illustrate each type of WCE installation.

0.5'' low loss coaxial cable
Up to 250 ft

4.3.1 WCE Tie to Fixture Installation

Use the two mounting slots used to affix the unit to any available building infrastructure via a
wire-tie or tie-strap.

Installation

4.3.2 WCE Wall Mounted Using Four Screws

Secure the WCE using four standard drywall screws (3/16” in diameter).

MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 23

4.3.3 In Line with Coax Cables

WCE’s light design enables connecting it between the two coax cables without additional
support.

NOTE: The bending moment for ½” coax cable = 3lbs per foot.

4.4 860 WLAN Module Installation

MA 860 can be mounted in the following configurations:

• Standalone – mounted directly on the wall with four screws

• Mounted onto an MA 1000 RHU

• Mount as add-on to an MA 1000 RHU with an MA 1200 add-on unit

Installation

• Add-on to a MA 2000 system

To install the unit

• Depending on your installation mount the unit on the IDF or telecom Closet wall (standalone
installation) or assemble it onto the MA system (when converged with other MA systems)

• Record location and serial number of MA860 unit
