CHAPTER 2 Safety issues
2.1 Introduction
It is important, when installing the Nokia Wireless Router, that the unit is not installed where it could be either damaged by its environment, or pose a hazard for the user. In this respect, when installing the unit be aware of the following Hazard Warnings and Regulatory Safety Requirements
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 15
Page 42
2.2 Hazard warnings
Environment - Do not place the Network Power Unit (NPU) in a
very cold, dusty, wet or high humidity environment.
be situated away from all heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, amplifiers and other heat producing appliances.
Fire or electric shock - Do not expose the NPU to any type of
moisture, including rain. Do not use or install near water-related environments such as sinks, bathtubs, laundry areas, spas, swimming pools, or in wet basements. Take care not to spill any liquids on the unit.
Use extreme cautionwhen installing antennasin areas with overhead
power lines. Outdoor antennas and their supporting masts, guy wires, and cables are electrical conductors. Contact with high-voltage electrical wires can cause serious injury or death.
Because antennas and wireless routers are elevated metal objects
with connections t o ground, they attract lightning. Attach an effective ground to the antenna and router to provide a safe path for the lightning.

CHAPTER 3 Site survey
3.1 Site survey steps
NOTE: The Site Survey information is provided for use by the Internet
Service Provider and is carried out by the ISP prior to installation. It is not necessary for the purposes of the actual hardware installation.
The goals of a site survey are to determine the feasibility of RF links at each site and to determine the antenna and cable requirements.
1. Determine the feasibility of RF links to other sites.
If the site has good links to other sites, it can be used as a forwarding system for other wireless routers in the network. If the router can link to
other router, it will be able to access the internet, but it will be unable
one to forward signals to other wireless routers.
Determine the RF path between the antenna at the site and the antennas at other, adjacent sites. For a directional link with a single antenna, there is only one RF path. For an omnidirectional antenna, determine all paths. The RF path can be determined by knowing the relative bearing from the current site to adjacent sites.
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 19
RF
Page 46
The feasibility of an RF link can be estimated based on:
Distances between potential sites
Line of sight for RF paths
Antenna RF gains
Cable and connector losses
2. Survey all obstructions to potential sites
Wherever possible, use an omnidirectional antenna. This ensures maximum connectivity and allows the system to forward “packets” of information for existing and future needs.
If the router requires a single link to another router, use a directional antenna.
(See also Section 3.1.1 Line of sight, below)
3. Select the antenna type to be used
The wireless router is supplied with an omnidirectional antenna, but on rare occasions a directional antenna m ay need to be used, depending on area and topography.
(See also Section 3.1.2 Antenna selection, below)
20 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide
Page 47
Site survey steps
3.1.1 Line of sight analysis
3.1.1.1 Introduction
In order for the Nokia Wireless Router network to operate correctly, there must be line of sight paths for each link.
Determine that there is a visual line of sight and a radio line of sight between the router to be installed and its neighboring routers.
It is recommended that each router has a line of sight to at least 2 other routers to enable several options to route internet traffic to the airhead.
Line of Sight and Fresnel Zone - Ill ustration
Visual line of sight
Visual line of sight exists when an imaginary straight line can be drawn between two antennas without passing through any physical obstructions. Verifying visual line of sight is the first step in planning the Nokia Wireless Router System installation. Observation points must be high enough to allow the viewer to see over ground based obstructions.
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 21
Page 48
Radio line of sight
A radio wave is not like a laser with a narrow, pointed beam. RF waves fan out from a single source and are diffractedor absorbed by objects that are near the visual line of sight. This area is called the Fresnel Zone. Clear radio line of sight exists when there are no physical obstructions in the Fresnel Zone. It is therefore essential that there is a clear radio path by raising the antenna as high as possible and away from objects near the radio path.
NOTE: An example of the Fresnel Zone dimensions is, for a one quarter
mile link, the Fresnel Zone is approximately 7
1
/2feet above and below the line of site. Therefore the height of the antenna m ust clear the Fresnel Zone. For very short distances, wooden structures and non metallic objects have little effect on the RF signal. For long distance paths, there should be no obstacles close to the RF path.
3.1.1.2 To determine line of sight
1. Access the rooftop using a safe ladder, either tied or held by another
surveyor.
2. Scan the other rooftops in the location. Ensure line of sight ensuring
that other routers can be seen from the selected vantage point.
NOTE: The router being installed may be the first in the area. If this is the
case, ensure that the other rooftops in the area can be seen from the selected vantage point.
3. If it is not possible to see other routers/ rooftops, it may be necessary
to install the router on an adjoining tall structure, or to install a mast.
3.1.2 Antenna selection
3.1.2.1 General
In most installations, it is not necessary to be concerned about antenna selection. The Nokia Wireless Router is supplied with an omnidirectional antenna which is good for most installations.
22 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide

Top ViewSide View
For very specific cases, it may be necessary to use a directional antenna. The following explanations describe the two types of antenna and the special circumstances in which the directional antenna may be used.
3.1.2.2 Omnidirectional antennas
Omnidirectional Antennas radiate their RF pattern spherically, providing coverage in all directions. These are best suited for multipoint links and are used at all forwarding sites.
Omnidirectional antennas are the preferred solution to most installations.
Omnidirectional Antenna - RF Radiation Pattern
3.1.2.3 Directional antennas
Directional Antennas focus the RF beam in narrow patterns in one direction and provide communication over greater distances than omnidirectional antennas, but they are limited in the areas they cover.
NOTE: Directional antennas are useful for long distance or point-to-point
contacts, but prevent future growth of the network, by preventing the wireless router from repeating signals to other units. They should be used only when where an omnidirectional antenna will not work.
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 23
Page 50
Directional antennas - radiation pattern side view
In Nokia Wireless Router Networks, use a directional antenna only if:
There are numerous obstructions in the area
The nearest router is a considerable distance away
The router is in a location where it does not need to route traffic for
other subscribers and itself requires a maximum link distance to the neighboring router.
3.1.2.4 Notes on antenna polarization
Polarization refers to the direction of antenna element alignment. For antennas to properly communicate with each other, all antenna must be aligned (polarized) in the same direction.
Omnidirectional antenna
This vertically polarized antenna can only be mounted vertically.
Directional antenna
Polarization is identified by an arrow on the rear panel
Radiates from the front side and away from the mounting bracket
Can be vertically or horizontally polarized
If you have a combination of vertical omnidirectional antennas and directional antennas, the directional antennas must be polarized vertically.

CHAPTER 4 Planning the installation
4.1 Main installation steps
The complete wireless router installation consists of five basic steps:
1. The Nokia roofTop Wireless Router
2. The Multiwire connection (between the router and the N etwork/
Power Unit)
3. The Network/ Power Unit
4. The grounding (where required)
5. The indoor connections between the Network/Power Unit and the
computer(s) in the property.
NOTE: Digital picture of components to be inserted here
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 25
Page 52
When planning the installation the following needs to be considered:
The hardware and tools required to complete the installation.
Wireless router installation location.
Multiwire routing between the router and the NPU.
The power source location for the NPU.
The routing path for the ethernet cabling.
Antenna grounding and lightning arrestor requirements.
A full list of tools required for installation is available in Appendix D
4.1.1 To find a location for the router
When planning the location of the router the highest point on the roof should be used to ensure a clear line of site. Existing structures like chimneys, pipes, tv antenna poles etc should be used for mounting the router. Only if there is no suitable mounting point, should a mounting pole be used.
Height of the antenna is often limited to physical limitations of the site. For example, an antenna mast can be placed on a rooftop or installed on an existing structure or tower. Avoid using a mast if at all possible, but be sure that the antenna clears the roof line.
It is acceptable to use the TV antenna pole already i nstalled. If the TV antenna is used, be sure to loosen the antenna mounting, slide the TV antenna down the pole leaving sufficient room to mount the router at the top of the pole.
26 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide
Page 53
Main installation steps
4.1.2 To plan the Network/Power Unit location
The Network/ Power Unit can only be physically located by being plugged into an AC outlet. When locating the AC outlet for the Network/ Power Unit consider:
The location of the customers PC - the Network/ Power Supply
should be located as close to the PC as possible
The route of the multiwire cabling
The proximity of a telephone connection point (where applicable for
HomePNA)
4.1.3 To plan the cable routing
Take into account the customers wishes for cable routing
Avoid pipes, downspouts and possible areas which may abrade the
cabling.
For further details see Chapter 6, Routing the cable into the property.
4.1.4 To plan the grounding
Test the existing grounding system at the property. Where the existing grounding is not acceptable, consider...
Route of the grounding cable from the router, avoiding other pipes,
down spouts etc
Location for the grounding rod

3. Weatherproof the connections as follows.
NOTE: Good weatherproofing is the key to antennas that work well in all
weather conditions. If water or moisture enters the cable or connector, it will significantly reduce the signal levels and can ruin the cable and connectors.
4. Cut an 8” strip of weatherproofing tape and remove the plastic
backing from the tape.
Remove plastic backing from the tape
5. Stretch and apply the tape in the direction of the connector thread to
ensure that the connector does not come loose during the weatherproofing process.

To install the router
5.2.2 To prepare and install grounding
NOTE: Grounding is only installed where the existing grounding system
is not sufficient for router grounding purposes.
Because antennas are elevated metal objects with connections to ground, they attract lightning.
Attaching an effective ground to the router provides a path for the lightning.
1. Connect the grounding box connector marked “Surge” towards the
antenna and the connector marked “Protected” to the Network/ Power Unit (NPU) end of the cabling.
2. Protect the connections as previously described, using
weatherproofing tape.
3. Locate the lightning arrestor close to the point of entry to the home.
4. Provide a good, very low resistance wire connection from the
wireless router to the ground.
5. Use #12 copper wire connected to the router grounding clamp and a
ground rod next to the building.

CHAPTER 6 Routing the cable into the pr operty
6.1 General guidelines on cable routing
Always ask the customer where they would prefer the cables to be routed
Where possible, route the cables inside the wall/ roof spaces
THINK where the cables are going to go! Avoid air ducts, water and
gas pipes.
Trytouseexistingentriesintothehometoavoidhavingtodrillholes.
Try to make the cable entry to the computer connections as close to
the customers PC as possible, using the shortest cable possible.
Where wires have to be routed outside of the building, make sure that they are supported with cable clips at 18 to 24 inch intervals and are not unsightly. Make sure t hat there is a “drip loop” at the point of entry to prevent water ingress into the property. Seal any drilled holes using silicon sealant.
