Installation Requirements and Recommendations
For best results, follow these requirements and recommendations before installing an MP.
RingMaster Network Plan and Work Orders
If you are using RingMaster to plan your Trapeze Networks Mobility System installation, you might
want to create and verify a network plan for the entire Trapeze Network installation and generate an
MP work order before installing MPs. A network plan and the MP work orders generated from it
provide the following information about MP installation and configuration:
❑ Number of MPs required for adequate WLAN capacity in each coverage area
❑ Detailed installation location for each MP
❑ Settings for all MPs in the WLAN

Trapeze Networks
MX Recommendation
Trapeze Networks recommends that you install and configure the MX before installing an MP. If the
MX is already installed and configured for the MP, you can immediately verify the cable connection(s)
when you plug the cable(s) into the MP.
An Indoor MP is designed to receive power only from an 802.3af-compliant source, a
Trapeze Networks Mobility Exchange (MX), or a Trapeze-approved power injector.
Warning!
Connecting an MP to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device not approved by Trapeze
Networks can damage the equipment.
Wall Installation Recommendations
If you plan to install an MP on a partial wall or other vertical surface, orient the top of the MP (the
side with the LEDs) toward the intended coverage area. The radio antennas transmit through the top
of the MP but not through the bottom, where the bracket is located.
This recommendation does not apply if you plan to use external antennas. You can orient the
antennas independently of the MP. Orient an external antenna to face the intended coverage area.
MP Radio Safety Advisories
When you enable the MP radio(s) as part of MX configuration, the radios can receive and transmit
radio frequency energy as soon as you connect the MP to the MX, either directly or through the
network.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Docket 96-8 for Spread Spectrum Transmitters specifies
a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by
FCC-certified equipment. When used with the proper antennas (shipped in the product), Trapeze
Networks MPs meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1-1991.
Proper installation of the MP according to the instructions in this manual will result in user exposure
that is below the FCC recommended limits.
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
❑ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
❑ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
❑ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
❑ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Caution for the MP-522E
To comply with FCC part 15 rules in the United States, the system must be
professionally installed to ensure compliance with the Part 15 certification. It is the
responsibility of the operator and professional installer to ensure that only certified
systems are deployed in the United States. The use of the system in any other
combination (such as co-located antennas transmitting the same information) is
expressly forbidden.
The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of
information to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to
prohibit transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes
where required by the technology.
The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for
harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and
5470-5725 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limit.
The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz) to
comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point
operation as appropriate, as stated in section A9.2(3).
High-power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the
bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and these radars could cause interference

Connecting an MP to an External Antenna
Each radio in an Indoor MP can use an optional Trapeze external antenna. To mount the antenna, see
the instructions that come with the antenna.
To connect a mounted external antenna to an MP:
1. Attach the exterior antenna cable that is shipped with the antenna to the MP external antenna
connector.
Both connectors are labeled to indicate the radio type. The MP has RP-SMA connectors for
attachment to the 802.11b/g antenna and to the 802.11a antenna.
The external connectors on the MP are labeled: 11B/G and 11A (excluding the
MP-522E which has numbered ports only). Each connector is a RP-SMA connector.
!
Caution
Note:
Make sure you attach the antenna to the correct connector.
If the MP is installed in a Trapeze Networks outdoor MP enclosure, attach the
antenna cable to the lightning surge arrestor (if installed) or the RP-SMA bulkhead
connector on the enclosure.
2. Attach the other end of the antenna cable to the antenna.

Installing an Indoor MP-522E
The MP-522E installation steps for ceiling or wall mount are the same as the MP-422/432/522 except
that you must install and orient the four antennas on the MP before supplying power to the unit. The
MP-522E has no internal antennas and requires antennas for all types of operation.Once the MP is
installed on either the wall or ceiling with antennas attached you can switch between Radio 1 and 2
using the CLI command “set ap # radio x mode disable.”
Always install the four MP-522E antennas before supplying power to the MP. Failure to
do so can cause damage to the unit.
Warning!
The tested/certified antennas are equipped with Reverse-SMA or N-type jacks.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter.
The external connectors on the MP-522E are labeled 1, 2, 3, 6 on the housing. Each
connector is a RP-SMA connector. Make sure you attach the antenna to the correct
connector.
For products available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated.
Selection of other channels is not possible.
This device is going to be operated in 5.15~5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted in
indoor environment only.

Connecting an MP to an MX
You can connect an MP directly to an MX or indirectly to the MX through an intermediate Layer 2 or
Layer 3 network. If you are connecting the MP directly to an MX, use the following procedure to
insert the cable into the MX and verify the link.
You can use the CLI or RingMaster to configure an MP connection. If you are installing the MP as a
Mesh AP in a WLAN Mesh or wireless bridge configuration, you must configure the MP connection
before deploying the MP in the final location. (See the Mobility System Software Configuration Guide
or the Configuration Guide.)
Figure 1–33 below shows how to insert a Cat 5 cable into 10/100 Ethernet port on an MX. Refer to this
figure as you perform the procedure.
