Tropos Mobile Mesh Router Installation Guide Models 4310-XA and 4319-XA 41Installing the Tropos Mobile Mesh RouterThis guide explains how to install the Tropos Mobile Mesh Router, Models 4310-XA-and 4319-XA. This chapter contains the following sections:Preparing for InstallationMount the RouterFront Panel LEDService InstructionsService InstructionsIntroductionThe Tropos 4310-XA and 4319-XA Mobile Mesh Routers are designed to provide mobile mesh router functionality in extremely harsh environments. They are IP-67 rated for outdoor installation and offer greater shock and vibration resistance than the standard Tropos Mobile Mesh Routers, the Tropos 4310 and Tropos 4319.This document contains installation instructions for the following products:Tropos 4310-XA RouterTropos 4319-XA Router — Public SafetyTropos 4310-XA RouterThe Tropos 4310-XA router for the FCC regulatory domain has the following characteristics:802.11b/g/n 2400-2483 MHzDC power, 11-55 VDCCPE 10/100BaseT Ethernet portsTable 1 lists the Tropos 4310-XA router model.Table 1 Tropos 4310-XA Router Models—FCCModel Description43103000X 4310-XA: Mobile router, 2.4 GHz, DC power

Chapter 1  Tropos Mobile Mesh Router Installation Guide Models 4310-XA and 4319-XA 6Preparing for InstallationFigure 1 shows the mobile router unit and dimensions.FIGURE 1 Tropos Mobile RouterInstallation AccessoriesYou must supply the following accessories:Hardware to mount the routerEthernet cable with M-12 connector to connect the router to the client devicePower cable with LEMO connectorAntennas and antenna cablesSelecting Router LocationsTropos routers are radio devices, and as such, they are susceptible to common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these general guidelines when selecting an installation location:Install the router away from other possible sources of WLAN interference at 2.4 GHz or 4.9 GHz.Choose a mounting surface that is at least 13.25 inches by 8 inches to provide sufficient space to screw the router into the surface (Figure 1). It is not necessary to level the router.
Chapter 1  Tropos Mobile Mesh Router Installation Guide Models 4310-XA and 4319-XA 7NoteThe router contains integral ESD protection and vehicle power conditioning, so external protection is not required.Antenna OptionsYou can purchase any of the Tropos-approved, cable-attached antennas that are listed in “Ordering Information” on page 19 (see Figure 6 on page 19). Omni-directional antennas are best for systems requiring a signal distribution in more than one direction. CautionTo comply with regulatory RF exposure limits, locate antennas a minimum distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) from people. NoteOnly use antennas that are approved by Tropos. Operating the unit with non-qualified antennas is a violation of U.S. FCC Rules Part 15.203(c), Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47. Selecting Antenna LocationsThe Tropos 4310-XA and 4319-XA Mobile Mesh Routers can be mounted on the outside of a vehicle with an antenna connected directly to the router or they can be mounted inside the vehicle with an antenna mounted outside the vehicle.If possible, the router should be mounted outside the vehicle as this eliminates the need for the use of coaxial cable between the router and antenna. Use of coaxial cable introduces losses in the system which reduces the effective transmit power.If an omnidirectional antenna is used, it should be mounted vertically. If the router is mounted externally and is situated so that its antenna connector is on the side, a right-angle N-connector should be used in order to get the antenna in a vertical orientation.Tropos recommends the use of low loss coaxial cable such as LMR-240 or LMR-400 for connecting the router to an external antenna. Follow these guidelines during installation:Install the antenna on the highest part of the vehicle so that it is clear of obstructions within at least a 3ft radius. Other antennas do not need to be considered as sources of obstruction.Install the antenna on the flattest area of the roof.Keep the antenna cable as short as possible.

There is no internal battery back-up, so the vehicle must be powered for the router to operate.NoteThe router requires quality shielded CAT5 Ethernet data cables.NoteThe router does not have a power switch. It is powered when the power plug is attached and then connected to vehicle power. To remove power from an installed router, remove the power plug, remove the fuse, or turn off vehicle power.FIGURE 2 Connector PanelCPE Ethernet Status LEDPower Antenna

As shown in Figure 3, the mounting bracket has two holes for fasteners. These holes are 8.85" (224.79mm) apart on centers. Use 3/8" or 10mm fasteners appropriate to the material on which the router is being mounted.FIGURE 3 Router Mounting
