Infrastructure Preparation MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 19 3.5.3 AP Termination A 50 ΩΩΩΩ termination is required on each unused AP port. The type of termination is vendor specific. Vendor Model Termination Cisco 1242 RP-TNC 50 ohm terminators Aruba AP-70 RP-SMA 50 ohm terminators Trapeze MP-422 RP-SMA 50 ohm terminators Colubris MAP-330 RP-SMA 50 ohm terminators Meru AP-200 RP-SMA 50 ohm terminators 3.5.4 IDF Access Point Planning MobileAccess recommends that each independent IDF Telecom closet is adequately planned for installation of the access points to increase the amount of isolation and reduce the amount of RF leakage between access points. MobileAccess recommends the following options for access point installation: •Wall Mounting of MobileAccess supported Access Point •Rack-Mounting of MobileAccess supported Access Points Utilizing the mounting hardware distributed from each supported access point vendor, Access point can be mounted on a wall within the IDF or telecom closet and connected with the appropriate low-loss jumper cables to the appropriate 860 WLAN module interface ports. MobileAccess has also found that mounting the access points in a 19” rack system has proven to be effective against RF leakage between access points. In this configuration, two access points can be installed per 19” shelving unit which takes up 1U of space per two access points.

Installation MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 22 4.3 Wi-Fi Coverage Expander (WCE) Installation Note: It is assumed the antennas have already been installed at the remote locations. A WCE unit is installed near each antenna. The WCE can be installed in the following configurations: •Tie-Wrap / Wire-Tie to a fixture •Wall Mounted – using four screws •In-line with the coax cables The WCE will be connected on one side to a 0.5'' low loss coaxial cable (typically running to a remote wiring closet), and to the Passive Broadband Antenna usually through a jumper (flexible 1' coax cable). The following sections illustrate each type of WCE installation. 0.5'' low loss coaxial cable Up to 250 ft 1' coax cable
Installation MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 23 4.3.1 WCE Tie to Fixture Installation Use the two mounting slots used to affix the unit to any available building infrastructure via a wire-tie or tie-strap. 4.3.2 WCE Wall Mounted Using Four Screws Secure the WCE using four standard drywall screws (3/16” in diameter).
