RS232/RS485 DCE Port
The RS232/RS485 DCE port is a configurable serial port for connecting a serial device to the WPAN
Gateway. The Connected Grid Network Management System (CG-NMS) application is used to configure
the port.
The port can be configured for RS232 or RS485. RS232 operates in full duplex mode on the port, and
RS485 operates in half duplex or full duplex mode. You can also use the CG-NMS to obtain statistics
about the serial port including bytes sent and bytes received information.
For information about connecting to the RS232-DCE or RS485 port, see the “Connecting to the
RS232DCE/RS485 or RS232-DTE Ports” section on page 2-33.
RS232 DTE Port
The RS232 DTE port is a configurable serial port for connecting a serial device to the WPAN Gateway.
The Connected Grid Network Management System (CG-NMS) application is used to configure the port.
You can also use the CG-NMS to obtain statistics about the port including bytes sent and bytes received
information.
For information about connecting to the RS232 DTE port, see the “Connecting to the RS232DCE/RS485
or RS232-DTE Ports” section on page 2-33.

Chapter 1 Overview Assembly Details
Protective Vent Port
The protective vent port relieves pressure buildup inside the extender chassis that can be caused by
changing temperatures in the installation environment. This prevents pressure from building up and
damaging enclosure seals and the potential exposure of sensitive components to water. The vent also
protects the extender interior from dust, dirt, water, and other environmental elements.
Ground Connection
The ground connection is used to ground the WPAN extender. A provided wired grounding lug is
attached to the ground connection using screws. The other end of the ground wire is connected to an earth
ground, such as a grounding rod or an appropriate grounding point on a pole that is grounded.
Power Connector
The power connector connects to the Cisco AC power cable shipped with the unit. Figure 1-7 shows the
3 pin AC power connector.

Installation Guidelines
Because the WPAN gateway and WPAN range extender are radio devices, they are susceptible to
common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to
ensure the best possible performance:
• For information on planning and initially configuring your Cisco Mesh network, refer to the Cisco
Wireless Mesh Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide on Cisco.com
• Review the FCC guidelines for installing and operating outdoor wireless LAN devices at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/prod/collateral/routers/ps272/data_sheet_c78-647116_ps114
51_Products_Data_Sheet.html
• Perform a site survey before beginning the installation.
• Install the WPAN gateway and WPAN range extender in an area where structures, trees, or hills do
not obstruct radio signals to and from the devices.
• The WPAN gateway and WPAN range extender can be installed at any height, but best throughput
is achieved when all the WPAN gateways and WPAN range extenders are mounted at the same
height. We recommend installing the devices no higher than 40 feet to allow support for wireless
clients on the ground.
Caution Airflow around the WPAN gateway must be unrestricted. The gateway dimensions (height x width x
depth) are 1.125 x 4.0 x 5.0 in. (2.86 x 10.16 x 12.7 cm). To prevent the WPAN gateway from
overheating, there must be the following minimum clearances:
- Sides: 1.0 in. (25.4 mm)

Contact your Cisco Technical Assistance Centre (TAC) if tighter spacings are required.
Site Surveys
Every network application is a unique installation. Before installing multiple WPAN gateways and
WPAN range extenders, you should perform a site survey to determine the optimum use of networking
components and to maximize range, coverage, and network performance.
Consider the following operating and environmental conditions 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 sensitivity occurs as the
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. However, do not place the
antenna higher than necessary, because the extra height also increases potential interference from
other unlicensed radio systems and decreases the wireless coverage from the ground.
• Physical environment—Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas.
• Obstructions—Physical obstructions such as buildings, trees, or hills can hinder performance of
wireless devices. Avoid locating the devices in a location where there is an obstruction between the
sending and receiving antennas.
