ΩΩ
Ω termination is required on each unused AP port. The type of termination is vendor
specific.

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.

4.2 Access Point Installation (Recommendation)
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

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 as detailed in the
picture below, two access points can be installed per 19” shelving unit which takes up 1U of
space per two access points.

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).
Installation
MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 24
4.3.3 In Line with Coax Cables
WCE’s light design enables connecting it between the two coax cables without additional
support.
NOTE: The bending moment for ½” coax cable = 3lbs per foot.
4.4 860 WLAN Module Installation
MA 860 can be mounted in the following configurations:
•Standalone – mounted directly on the wall with four screws
•Mounted onto an MA 1000 RHU
•Mount as add-on to an MA 1000 RHU with an MA 1200 add-on unit
•Add-on to a MA 2000 system
To install the unit
•Depending on your installation mount the unit on the IDF or telecom Closet wall (standalone
installation) or assemble it onto the MA system (when converged with other MA systems)
•Record location and serial number of MA860 unit
Installation
MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 25
4.5 MA-860 Unit Installation and Connections
MobileAccess MA-860 is typically installed in the IDF or Telecom Closet of each floor to which
WLAN coverage is to be supported. The accessories, mounting and installation procedures vary
depending on the installation configuration.
4.5.1 Standalone Wall Mount Installation
Figure 4-1. MA-860 Standalone Installation Configuration
NOTE: It is recommended to record the location of the units and IP address according to the
MAC addresses on the sticker at the rear of the units near the Ethernet port.
Although it is not required for a stand-alone installation, it is recommended to set the supplied
cable 705102101 aside (usually used when MA-860 is installed in an add-on configuration).You
will need it if you want to upgrade your system to provide additional coverage options.
ATTENTION: Use SMA wrench for the SMA connectors, do not over tighten the
connectors.
