Preparing for InstallationOutdoor Hardware Installation Guide 3Installation Hardware and ToolsTropos Networks provides the following accessories to install the Tropos 5110 Wi-Fi Cell:One mounting bracketTwo 4-inch diameter hose clampsFour 6-inch diameter hose clampsFive 5/16-inch #10-32 stainless steel hex head machine screwsYou must supply the following tools:5/16 inch nut driver1/4-inch flat blade screwdriverTower mounting only: supply stainless or galvanized steel channel stock and 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch nuts, bolts, and washers to connect to the tower arm.Wood pole mounting only: two 5/8-inch diameter, 3-inch long lag boltsSite PlanningTo ensure safe and durable wiring, installation of the Tropos 5110 Wi-Fi Cell must follow appropriate electrical and building codes. Follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, unless local codes in your area take precedence over the NEC code. The following distance limits apply to installations that have 10/100 Base-T Category 5 network cables attached to the Tropos 5110 Wi-Fi Cell:100 meters between devices for 100BaseT operation366 meters for 10BaseT operation. The Ethernet duplex and speed setting is configurable.Location GuidelinesThe Tropos 5110 Wi-Fi Cell is a radio device and therefore susceptible to interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best performance:Install the unit in an area where trees, buildings, and large steel structures do not obstruct radio signals to and from the antenna. Direct line-of-sight operation is best. Install the unit away from microwave ovens or other devices operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency range. Install the units away from other possible sources of 2.4 GHz WLAN interference, such as cordless phones, home spy cameras, frequency hopping (FHSS) and DSSS LAN transceivers (non-802.11b), electronic news gathering video links, radars, amateur radios, land mobile radio services, local government sites (such as law enforcement), fixed microwave services, local TV transmission and private fixed point transmitters.
Preparing for InstallationOutdoor Hardware Installation Guide 4Antenna OptionsYou can purchase the Tropos 5110 Wi-Fi Cell with an integrated omni-directional antenna (Model 51103000) or use your own external antenna (Model 51102100). Omni-directional antennas are best for systems requiring a signal distribution in more than one direction. To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, locate antennas at a minimum distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) from people.NoteThe antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be omni directional antennas with a gain of 7.4dBi or less. Antenna(s) must be installed by a trained professional. Operating the unit with non-qualified antennas is a violation of FCC Rules Part 15.203(c), Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47.Site SurveysDue to; variations in component configuration, placement, and physical environment, each installation is unique. Before installing the Tropos 5110 Wi-Fi Cell, perform a site survey to determine the optimum placement of units for maximum range, coverage, and network performance. Consider the following factors when performing a site survey:Data rates—Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. A decrease in receiver threshold sensitivity occurs as radio data increases. Antenna type and placement—Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general rule, range increases in proportion to antenna height and gain. Physical environment—Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas. The less cluttered the operating environment, the greater the range. Obstructions—A physical obstruction, such as a building or tree, can block or hinder communication. Avoid locating antennas in a location where there is an obstruction between sending and receiving antennas. Building materials—Radio penetration is influenced by the building material used in construction. For example, drywall construction permits greater range than concrete blocks. Metal or steel construction is a barrier to radio signals.Diversity—The Tropos 5110 Wi-Fi Cell supports RX diversity, which requires two antennas.Power SourceThe Tropos 5110 Wi-Fi Cell supports 4 options for connecting to a power source:DC power source (power over Ethernet) — input voltage 24 to 48 VDCAC power source (3-wire service) — 120/208 VAC
