This chapter covers the following topics: “Preparing for Installation” on page 2 “Installing the Tropos 4210 MetroMesh Router” on page 6 “Remote Indicator” on page 9 “Service Instructions” on page 10 Tropos 4210 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide Preparing for Installation Preparing for Installation The next figure shows the router unit and dimensions. Figure 1 Tropos 4210 MetroMesh Router Height 3.54 inches 9.0 cm Depth 7.91 inches 20.1 cm Height 3.85 inches 9.8 cm Width 13.1 inches 33.3 cm trp_137 Package Contents The Tropos 4210 router shipping package contains the following items: Tropos 4210 MetroMesh Router Tropos 4210 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide (this document) 2-pin power plug attached to router Fuse attached to router Screws, lock washers, nuts Installation Accessories You must supply the following accessories: 1/4-20 panhead machine screws with split lock washers Ethernet cable to connect the router to the laptop computer you plan to use for network access (crossover cable if no switch or hub is used) #18 AWG wiring to connect the router to vehicle power Antennas and antenna cables The following items are optional: USB GPS receiver supporting standard NMEA 0183 sentences with cable (USB connector) Right angle antenna adapters Tropos 4210 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide Preparing for Installation Selecting Locations Tropos 4210 routers are radio devices, and as such, they are susceptible to common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. To ensure the best possible performance, follow these basic guidelines: Install antennas on the highest area of the vehicle (roof). If the vehicle has a light bar, install antennas at least three feet away from the bar. It is desirable to have the antenna cables as short as possible. Install the router away from other possible sources of 2.4 GHz WLAN interference, such as cordless phones, spy cameras, frequency hopping (FHSS) and DSSS LAN transceivers (non-802.11g), 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). The router is not weather-proofed, so install only in protected interior locations. Choose a splash-resistant mounting surface that is at least 13 inches by 8 inches to provide sufficient space to screw the router into the surface. See FIGURE. It is not necessary to level the unit. The Tropos 4210 router contains integral ESD protection and vehicle power conditioning, so external protection is not required. Antenna Options You can purchase any of the Tropos-approved, cable-attached antennas that are listed in “Ordering Information” on page 17. Omni-directional antennas are best for systems requiring a signal distribution in more than one direction. To comply with regulatory RF exposure limits, locate antennas a minimum distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) from people. It is possible to use a single antenna; however, two antennas are strongly recommended. Note Only 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. Tropos 4210 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide Preparing for Installation Note The device and the antennas must not be co-located or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Figure 2 Tropos 4210 MetroMesh Routerwith Cable-Attached Antennas Cables from antennas to unit Aux Tx/Rx antenna Main Tx/Rx antenna trp_128 RF Planning Guidelines Tropos wireless routing technology is embedded in each Tropos 4210 MobileMesh router, allowing each router to work in almost any environment and with a wide range of network topologies. To maximize coverage range, locate the router in wireless-friendly areas. Try not to place them in areas that can block or interfere with transmission. 802.11g devices transmit in the 2.4 GHz frequency spectrum. This spectrum is shared by devices such as microwave ovens, portable phones, intercom systems and wireless alarm systems. Place each router in a location at least 15 to 20 feet from any other transmitter to prevent the possibility of interference. Tropos 4210 MetroMesh Router Installation Guide Preparing for Installation Cable Connections and Power Figure 3 shows the power and connector ports on the side panel of the Tropos 4210 router: The status indicator is red when the router is plugged in and has power. It is green when the router has a working IP address and network connectivity. The Ethernet Management (MGT) port is used to connect the router to the laptop computer that is used for network access. The LAN port is not currently used for the Tropos 4210 router. There are two USB ports, either one of which can be used to connect a GPS receiver. There are two RS-232 serial ports, one of which can be used to connect to a client PC. One RS-232 port is reserved for factory use. The fuse is user replaceable (see “Fuse Replacement” on page 11). The power plug accepts #18AWG wire. The Tropos 4210 router is designed to be used with negative ground systems, such as motor vehicle power. There is no internal battery back-up, so the vehicle must be powered for the router to operate. Note The Tropos 4210 router does not have a power switch. The router 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.

Return the power plug to its location on the router and screw down tightly. Note that the unit is powered as soon as the plug is connected and the other ends of the power wires are attached to vehicle power. Remote Indicator The Mesh Link Remote Indicator is a optional indicator that allows a user to determine whether the Tropos 4210 router is connected to the Tropos network without looking at the status LED. The indicator is assigned to pin 9 of the bottom Factory Use Only serial connector. The Mesh Link Remote Indicator functions as follows: If the 4210 is not connected to the network: (the router is booting or off, or there is no RF signal), pin 9 is electrically disconnected from pin 5 (ground). This state corresponds to the status light being off or red. If the 4210 is connected to the network, pin 9 is electrically connected to pin 5 (ground). This state corresponds to the status LED being green) It is a customer decision how the remote indicator should be used. Customers can set up a custom LED indicator to show that the unit is connected, or they can connect the indicator to a general load that turns on another device when the Tropos 4210 router is connected to the network. In either case, installing and operating the indicator requires knowledge and skill in basic electronics, wiring, and cable assembly. Figure 8 is a schematic drawing of the indicator.
