Aruba MST200 Wireless Mesh Router | Installation Guide 5USB Console InterfaceA USB serial console port is provided for connection to a terminal, allowing direct local management. Use the included USB console cable to connect to the router. You can download the necessary driver for USB-UART adapter from support.arubanetworks.com under the Tools & Resources tab.Use the following settings to access the terminal:The baud rate setting depends on the manufacture date of the MST200 (before or after March 2012) and the Serial Number (14 characters or 9 characters). The table above lists all the SKUs for MST200 along with the corresponding baud rate.Power InterfaceThe type of power interface on the MST200 depends on the model that you have purchased.MST2HP: This version does not include a power interface since it is only powered by PoE+ (802.3at).MST2HAC: One AC power connector.Ethernet InterfaceThe MST200 is equipped with a 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet port for wired network connectivity. On the MST2HP, this port also supports IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE), accepting 48 VDC as a standards-defined powered device (PD) from a power sourcing equipment (PSE) device, such as a PoE midspan injector. Inversely, the MST2HAC can act as a PSE device to provide IEEE802.3af PoE power to devices such as a video camera, connected to the Ethernet port.Table 1 Console SettingsProduct SKUs Serial Number Baud Rate Data Bits Parity Stop Bits Flow ControlMST2H13N0MST2H13N0-JPMST2H13N0-US14 characters (For example: 26A02110500467)115200 8 None 1 NoneMST2HPMST2HP-JPMST2HP-USMST2HACMST2HAC-JPMST2HAC-US9 characters (For example: AZ1234567)9600 8 None 1 None

This balances the pressure and humidity inside and outside the MST200.Grounding PointAlways remember to protect your MST200 by installing grounding lines. The ground connection must be completed before connecting power to the MST200 enclosure. Ensure that the resistance is less than 5 ohm between the ground termination point and the grounding tier and the cross section of the grounding cable should be no less than 6 square mm.MST2HP LED Status IndicatorsThe MST2HP includes visual indicators for power, link, and radio status. Additionally, each radio has a four-LED array that indicates received signal strength (RSSI).Figure 4 MST2HP LED layoutThe RSSI LED indicators represent varying degrees in the RSSI level. The absence of a signal is indicated by no LED response. All four LEDs are active and lit is an indication of full signal strength.RSSI for Radio 0

The LEDs are enabled by default. This option may be used to disable the LED lights in a MST200 device that is mounted in an elevated place on the city streets or residential areas, to avoid unwanted attention or disturbance. This feature turns off only the LED lights that indicate the software status, for example the RF. The LEDs that indicate the hardware status, for example Power, P/S, POE, and ETH, cannot be turned off using this feature. For additional details, refer to the Aruba MeshOS User Guide and the Aruba MeshOS Command Reference Guide.
Aruba MST200 Wireless Mesh Router | Installation Guide 9Outdoor Planning and Deployment ConsiderationsPrior to deploying an outdoor wireless network, the environment must be evaluated to plan for a successful Aruba WLAN deployment. Successfully evaluating the environment enables the proper selection of Aruba routers and antennas and assists in the determination of their placement for optimal RF coverage. This process is considered WLAN or RF planning and Aruba’s system engineers can assist in the outdoor planning process.For WLAN systems being installed outdoors in the USA, the following requirements must be met.1. Systems must be professionally installed by a qualified engineer familiar with WLAN, including Aruba trained partners and resellers.2. Operation in the 5600-5650-MHz band is prohibited.3. When within 35 km distance of a TDWR, the center frequency of the WLAN must be separated from the TDWR center frequency by 30 MHz.a. If the radar is operating from 5600-5610 MHz, disable the use of channel 116 (5580 MHz).b. If the radar is operating from 5630-5650 MHz, disable the use of channel 132 (5660 MHz).For TWDR locations in the US please refer to www.wispa.org/tdwr-locations-and-frequencies.Scale RequirementsThe potentially immense scale of outdoor deployments requires consideration of factors that may not be as important in a typical indoor deployment:Range (distance): Range or distance between routers must be taken into account during the planning phase. Available mounting locations are often far less flexible in an outdoor environment. Regardless of these outdoor restrictions, the desired goal is to achieve results similar to an indoor deployment: a “dense” RF deployment that supports advanced Aruba features, efficient client roaming, and failover.Elevation: Proper consideration and planning for elevation differences between routers (router to router) and router to Client can be critical to success. To plan for these differences in elevation, it is important to understand the 3D coverage pattern provided by the antennas that will be deployed in the environment.Non-Fixed Considerations: The RF environment might change on a day to day basis. Keep non-fixed items, such as shipping containers, vehicles, and future building construction, in mind when planning for an outdoor deployment.Identifying Known RF Scatterers/Reflectors/Interferences SourcesIdentifying known RF scatterers/reflectors/interference sources while out in the field during the installation phase is critical. Even though outdoor environments consist of fewer RF scatterers/reflectors/interference sources compared to indoor environments, ensure that these sources are identified and taken into consideration when installing and mounting a router to its fixed outdoor location.RF ScatterersCement/ConcreteNatural Items: Trees/vegetationBrickRF ReflectorsMetal Objects: Roof-installed air-conditioning equipment, chain link fences (depending on aperture size), other wire fences, or water pipes.
10 Aruba MST200 Wireless Mesh Router | Installation GuideRF Interference SourcesOther 802.11a/b/g/n or broadband access equipment operating nearbyIndustrial RF welding equipment or other Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) equipment that utilizes RF to heat or alter the physical properties of materialsMilitary, Commercial Aviation or Weather Radar SystemsLine of Sight (Radio Path Planning)A wireless bridge or mesh link requires a “radio line of sight” between the two antennas for optimum performance. The concept of radio line of sight involves the area along a link through which the bulk of the radio signal power travels. This area is known as the first Fresnel Zone of the radio link. For a radio link, no object (including the ground) must intrude within 60% of the first Fresnel Zone.Figure 6 illustrates the concept of a good radio line of sight.Figure 6 Line of SightIf there are obstacles in the radio path, there may still be a radio link but the quality and strength of the signal will be affected. Calculating the maximum clearance from objects on a path is important as it directly affects the decision on antenna placement and height. It is especially critical for long-distance links, where the radio signal could easily be lost.When planning the radio path for a wireless bridge or mesh link, consider these factors:Avoid any partial line of sight between the antennasBe cautious of trees or other foliage that may be near the path, or may grow and obstruct the path.Be sure there is enough clearance from buildings and that no building construction may eventually block the path.For very long distance links, the curvature of the earth (20 cm per km) may need to be considered in the calculation of relative heights.Check the topology of the land between the antennas using topographical maps, aerial photos, or even satellite image data (software packages are available that may include this information for your area)Avoid a path that may incur temporary blockage due to the movement of cars, trains, or aircraft.!Never construct a radio mast, pole, or tower near overhead power lines.Local regulations may limit or prevent construction of a high radio mast or tower. If your wireless bridge or mesh link requires a high radio mast or tower, consult a professional contractor for advice.
Aruba MST200 Wireless Mesh Router | Installation Guide 11Radio InterferenceThe avoidance of radio interference is an important part of wireless link planning. Interference is caused by other radio transmissions using the same or an adjacent channel frequency. You should first scan your proposed site using a spectrum analyzer to determine if there are any strong radio signals using the 802.11a/b/g channel frequencies. Always use a channel frequency that is furthest away from another signal.If radio interference is still a problem with your wireless bridge or mesh link, changing the antenna direction may improve the situation.Weather ConditionsWhen planning wireless bridge or mesh links, you must take into account any extreme weather conditions that are known to affect your location. Consider these factors:Temperature: The wireless bridge or mesh link is tested for normal operation in temperatures from -30ºC to 55ºC. Operating in temperatures outside of this range may cause the unit to fail.Wind Velocity: The wireless bridge or mesh link can operate in winds up to 165 miles per hour. You must consider the known maximum wind velocity and direction at the site and be sure that any supporting structure, such as a pole, mast, or tower, is built to withstand this force.Rain: The wireless bridge or mesh link is weatherproofed against rain. However, it is recommended to apply weatherproof sealing tape around the Ethernet port and antenna connectors for extra protection. If moisture enters a connector, it may cause a degradation in performance or even a complete failure of the link.Snow and Ice: Falling snow, like rain, has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, a buildup of snow or ice on antennas may cause the link to fail. In this case, the snow or ice has to be cleared from the antennas to restore operation of the link.Ethernet CablingWhen a suitable location has been determined for the router, you must plan a cable route from the wireless bridge or mesh link outdoors to a suitable power and/or network source.Consider these points:The Ethernet cable length should never be longer than 90 m (295 ft).Determine a building entry point for the cable (if applicable).Determine if conduits, bracing, or other structures are required for safety or protection of the cable.For lightning protection at the power injector end of the cable, consider using a lightning arrestor immediately before the cable enters the buildingGroundingIt is important that the wireless bridge or mesh link, cables, and any supporting structures are properly grounded. Each MST200 router includes a grounding screw for attaching a ground wire. Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes. Ground the access point first using the external ground stud on the unit before making any other connection.Installing the MST200
12 Aruba MST200 Wireless Mesh Router | Installation GuideThe MST200 can be installed on a wall or attached to a pole. (Pole diameter must be 40 to 60 mm at the position where the MST200 will be mounted.) The following section describes how to attach the necessary hardware to the router and how to mount the router in the selected location.The mounting assembly for installing MST200 includes the following as shown in Figure 7:Pole anchors x 2Positioning bracketMounting bracketBolts. Figure 7 The mounting assemblyFigure 8 BoltsYou can mount the MST200 on a pole with 96mm diameter using M8 x150 long bolts (not provided in the box shipped with MST200).

Fasten the positioning bracket onto the back of the MST200 using the five M6 x 12 bolts (with flat and spring washers). (There is screw thread in the screw hole of the mounting bracket, so nuts are not required)Figure 9 Fastening the positioning bracket to the MST2002. Use the two M8 x 16 bolts (with flat washers and spring washers) to fasten the positioning bracket flanges to the mounting bracket flanges.The flange bolts allow the inclination of the MST200 to be adjusted by shifting the angle of the bracket using the fastening bolts as an axis.Figure 10 Positioning bracket and mounting bracket bolted at flanges3. Use the four M8 x 110 bolts (with flat washers, spring washers and nuts) and two pole anchors to fasten the mounting bracket to the pole.If the pole diameter is larger than 60mm, you can use stainless straps to fasten the MST200 on the pole. To do so, pass a strap through the two slots on mounting bracket, attach the mounting bracket (with MST200) to the pole, and tighten the strap by using a screw driver to twist its screw head. Use similar straps at the other two slots on the mounting bracket.

(Detailed steps please see the "Weatherproofing Connections" on page12 in this guide)Figure 15 Connecting the Ethernet cable3 Waterproof Connector Socket 6 Sealing NutTable 5 For outdoor use, the RJ45 must be installed with a waterproofing gasket. The Ethernet cable and power cable need proper drip loops. Drip loops prevent water from entering the router through the connectors.It is recommended to fix the Ethernet cable near the MST200 side to the wall or the pole. This is to ensure that the weight of the cable does not affect the RJ45 connector.
Aruba MST200 Wireless Mesh Router | Installation Guide 17Connecting the Power Cable (MST2HAC)The MST2HAC versions need an outdoor rated power cable to connect to a compatible AC power source.AC power source specifications (at MST200 interface): 100-240Vac, 100WThe MST2HAC product offering offers two ways to connect the unit to AC power. Two power cord variants are offered and a connector kit that allows the customer to assemble their own cable if the standard offering does not meet deployment needs.The applicable SKUs for these options are:The difference between the NA and INTL part variants is the color coding of the conductors. The North American cable uses Black (Hot), White (Neutral), and Green (Ground). The INTL part follows the international schema of Brown (Hot), Blue (Neutral) and Yellow/Green (Ground)Best Practice for Outdoor Connection to AC MainsIn all circumstances and with any outdoor infrastructure the recommended practice is to connect to AC mains in an order grade weather protected junction box. This needs to be implemented by a qualified resource in a manner that is consistent with the electrical code in force in the jurisdiction of deployment. In many countries this will require a licensed electrician to perform this operation.In Japan, this would is a Certified Electrician by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.The use of plugs with infrastructure equipment is suitable only for temporary installs where nuisance tripping of GFI plugs is considered tolerable. Should it be desired to attach a plug to the cable assemblies then the installer is expected to follow all directions provided with the plug end in a fashion consistent with local electrical code.Use of the CKIT-OD-AC-PAssembly instructions for this part are shipped with the part. All instructions must be followed to ensure proper assembly of the connector onto the cable.The required specifications for third party cable used with the CKIT solution are as follows:AC power cable specifications (when using AC connector kit and custom cable): minimum voltage/current rating 250V/1A, diameter 6-12mm, rated for outdoor use and UV exposure!Installation and service of Aruba Networks products should be performed by Professional Installers.The MST200 does not ship with any power cables; these are available as accessories and should be ordered separately.
