Chapter 1, Basic Installation

1.4 Installing the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00

The LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. Before you
install the unit, determine whether the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 will be mounted horizontally
or vertically.

The LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 must be installed by a trained professional, value
added reseller, or systems integrator who is familiar with RF cell planning
issues and the regulatory limits defined by the FCC for RF exposure,
specifically those limits outlined in sections 1.1307.

The following procedure describes how to install the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 Outdoor
Subscriber Unit.

1. Mount the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 at the desired location.

2. Attach the boot cover, L bracket, and U bolt to the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 , as shown in

Figure 1-2.

Figure 1-2. Attaching the Boot Cover to the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00

3. To power the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 :

– Connect one end of a Category 5 Ethernet LAN cable to the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00

Ethernet port.

– Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled CPE on the supplied PoE

adapter.

– Connect the supplied AC adapter to the PoE adapter.

– Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet. The LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 performs

its self-test for about 30 seconds. Then the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 LEDs show the
status of the unit (see section 1.6.2).

Do not connect a device other than the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 to the CPE port.

Network equipment that does not support PoE can be damaged permanently
by connecting to a PoE source. Most Ethernet interfaces on PCs,
laptop/notebook computers, and other network equipment (such as Ethernet
switches and routers) do not support PoE.

4. If your unit has an external antenna, turn off power to the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 , then

attach the antenna to the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 antenna connector. Mount the
antenna in a location that provides the best communication with the base station.

Be sure to turn off power to the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 before mounting the
antenna.

5. Use the Ground terminal on the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 to ground the unit (for best

practices, see section 1.4.1).

When used in Norway, Finland, or Sweden, this equipment must be installed
in a Restricted Access Location.

This equipment is intended for installation by trained / competent service
personnel only.

1.4.1 Installation Best Practices

Observe the following best practices when installing the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 .

 The LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 10/100 Ethernet port auto-senses the cable connected to it and

adjusts automatically. The Ethernet connector is protected with a weatherproof housing.
Pin assignments for this connector are shown in Table 1-1.

 Always try to run the Category 5 cable and LMR inside the mounting pole whenever

possible. This helps to insulate the cable form any air surges.

 Keep all runs as straight as possible. Never put a full loop into the cables.

 The LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 antenna’s grounding system must be installed according to

Article 810-15, 810-20, and 810-21 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1993
or applicable National or Local Wiring Codes / Rules. Test all grounds to ensure that they
are using a proper Ground. If you use an electrical socket for Ground, use a socket
tester, such as Radio Shack 22-1412. We recommend you obtain a copy of the National
Electric Code Guide and follow its guidelines. If you are in doubt or have questions about
the antenna grounding system, contact a local licensed electrician. Alternatively, you
can drive your own rod and bond it to the house Ground; this way, you will know that at
least one rod is correctly grounded in the system.

Installing the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00

 Never attach a Grounding wire when the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 is powered. If the Ground is

to be attached to an existing electrical circuit, turn off the circuit before attaching the
wire.

 Never install radio equipment, such as the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 , during an electrical

storm. In addition, to protect your system against damage from lightning, design the
system so it does not attract lightning (it cannot repel lightning, either). National, state,
and local codes are designed to protect life, limb, and property and must always be
obeyed. When in doubt, consult local and national electrical codes or contact an
electrician or professional trained in the design of grounding systems.

1.5 Configuring the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00

After installing the LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 , use the procedures in the following sections to
configure it using its Configurator.

1.5.1 Logging in to the Configurator

Your LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 provides a Web-based Configurator for performing advanced
configuration activities. After you install your LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 , use the following
procedure to launch the Configurator.

1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port on the PoE to a network-

interface card (NIC) in a PC or network hub.

The LIBRA MAX-SS 5X00 Ethernet port is equipped with an auto-sensing
Ethernet port that allows both regular and cross-over cables to be used.

2. Start your Web browser and point it to one of the following default IP addresses:

http://192.168.101.151 or http://192.168.0.1. The Login page in Figure
1-4 appears, with your cursor in the User name field.

The default IP address is the same for all TR-WMX units. Therefore, do not
simultaneously connect multiple unconfigured TR-WMX units to a common
Local Area Network (LAN) and try to access them using the default IP address.

To connect to the Configurator, your PC’s IP address must be on the same
subnet (192.168.101.xxx, where xxx is a number from 1 to 253) as the LIBRA
MAX-SS 5X00 , and the PC’s netmask must be set to 255.255.255.0.
