Before continuing with AP installation, first review the general guidelines and requirements in this chapter. This chapter includes these sections: ◆ “General Installation Guidelines” on page 23 ◆ “How to Mount the Unit” on page 25 ◆ “How to Connect External Antennas” on page 27 ◆ “How to Align Antennas” on page 28 General Installation Guidelines Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location. Caution: The planning and installation of the AP requires professional personnel that are trained in the installation of radio transmitting equipment. The user is responsible for compliance with local regulations concerning items such as antenna power, use of lightning arrestors, grounding, and radio mast or tower construction. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a professional contractor knowledgeable in local radio regulations prior to equipment installation. Antenna Position When planning a location for the AP, consider these guidelines: ◆ When installing for an access point service, be sure to place the unit and external antennas in a location that can cover the intended service area. ◆ Be sure there are no other radio antennas within 2 m (6 ft) of the AP. ◆ Place the AP away from power and telephone lines. ◆ Avoid placing the AP too close to any metallic surfaces, such as roof-installed air-conditioning equipment, tinted windows, wire fences, or water pipes. – 23 – Chapter 3 | AP Chassis General Installation Guidelines Ethernet Cabling From the intended AP location, plan a cable route from the unit outdoors to the power injector module indoors. Consider these guidelines: ◆ The total Ethernet cable length should never be longer than 100 m (328 ft). ◆ Determine a building entry point for the cable. ◆ 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 building. Radio Interference The avoidance of radio interference is an important part of wireless network 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/n channel frequencies. Always use a channel frequency that is furthest away from another signal. Weather Conditions When planning outdoor networks, you must take into account any extreme weather conditions that are known to affect your location. Consider these factors: ◆ Temperature — The AP is tested for normal operation in temperatures from -10° C to 60° C. Operating in temperatures outside of this range may cause the unit to fail. ◆ Wind Velocity — The AP can operate in winds up to 44 m/s and survive higher wind speeds up to 66 m/s. 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. ◆ Lightning — The AP includes its own built-in lightning protection. However, you should make sure that the unit, any supporting structure, and cables are all properly grounded. Additional protection using lightning rods, lightning arrestors, or surge suppressors may also be employed. ◆ Rain — The AP is weatherproofed against rain. Also, prolonged heavy rain has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, it is recommended to apply weatherproof sealing tape around all connectors for extra protection. ◆ Snow and Ice — Falling snow, like rain, has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, a build up of snow or ice on antennas may cause links to fail. In this case, the snow or ice has to be cleared from the antennas to restore operation of the unit. – 24 – Chapter 3 | AP Chassis How to Mount the Unit How to Mount the Unit The AP can be mounted in the following ways using the included mounting bracket: ◆ To a 1.5 to 6 inch diameter pole The AP’s mounting bracket has two main parts. One part that can be secured to a pole using two steel-band clamps, and another part that attaches directly to the AP. The two parts link together and allow the tilt angle of the unit to be adjusted for antenna alignment. How to Pole Mount Perform the following steps to mount the unit to a 1.5 to 6 inch diameter pole or tube using the mounting bracket: 1. Using the two included steel-band clamps, thread them through the slats provided in the pole-mount part of the bracket. 2. Place the pole-mount part of the bracket against the pole and tighten the steelband clamps until it is secure. Figure 11: Attach Bracket to Pole Pole Mount Bracket Part Steel-Band Clamps Securing Screws, Nut and Bolt 3. Attach the square mounting plate to the AP with the supplied screws. – 25 – Chapter 3 | AP Chassis How to Mount the Unit Figure 12: Attach Bracket to AP Bracket Mount Points Square Mounting Bracket Part Supplied Bracket Mount Screws 4. Attach the AP with its mounting plate to the bracket already fixed to the pole. 5. Use the included long bolt to secure the AP to the pole bracket. Note that the AP tilt angle may need to be adjusted for antenna alignment. Figure 13: Mount the AP on the Pole Long Steel Bolt – 26 – Tilt Angle Securing Screws (Four) Chapter 3 | AP Chassis How to Connect External Antennas 6. Secure the AP at the required tilt angle using the two screws provided in the mounting kit. How to Connect External Antennas When deploying an AP, you need to mount external antennas and connect them to the unit. Two antennas are required for 2.4 GHz operation and two can be used for 5 GHz operation. These antennas are not included in the AP package. The SMC2891W-AN unit includes an integrated high-gain antenna for 5 GHz operation. External antennas are not required for 5 GHz operation only for 2.4 GHz operation. Some omnidirectional external antennas attach directly to the N-type connectors on the unit. Other antennas may include their own mounting brackets and connect to the unit using RF coaxial cables. Perform these steps: 1. For external antennas with mounting brackets, mount the antennas to the same supporting structure as the AP, within 3 m (10 ft) distance, using the brackets supplied in the antenna package. 2. Connect the antennas either directly to the AP’s N-type connectors, or use RF coaxial cable provided in the antenna package. Figure 14: Connect External Antennas Direct-Attach Omnidirectional External Antennas – 27 – N-Type External Antenna Connectors Chapter 3 | AP Chassis How to Align Antennas 3. Apply weatherproofing tape to the antenna connectors to help prevent water entering the connectors. Note: Be sure to take account of the antenna polarization direction; all antennas in a link must be mounted with the same polarization. How to Align Antennas When using the SMC2891W-AN unit with its 5 GHz integrated high-gain antenna, you will need to accurately align the antenna with another unit in the network to ensure optimum performance. Proper antenna alignment is particularly important for long-range point-to-point links. ◆ Point-to-Point Configurations — In a point-to-point configuration the alignment process requires two people at each end of the link. The use of cell phones or two-way radio communication may help with coordination. To start, you can just point the antennas at each other, using binoculars or a compass to set the general direction. Then you can adjust the horizontal and vertical position to find the position where the signal is strongest and secure the unit in that position. ◆ Point-to-Multipoint Configurations — In a point-to-multipoint configuration all SMC2891W-AN units must be aligned with a central SMC2890W-AN unit that may be using external omnidirectional or sector antennas. The alignment process is the same as in point-to-point links, but only the SMC2891W-AN units require the adjustment for proper alignment. To start, you can just point the SMC2891W-AN antenna at the central SMC2890W-AN unit, using binoculars or a compass to set the general direction. Then you can adjust the horizontal and vertical position to find the position where the signal is strongest and secure the unit in that position. Note: The receive signal strength of the radio signal on the local and remote unit can be viewed using the CLI or web management interfces. Refer the Management Guide for further information. – 28 – 4 Power and Grounding This chapter focuses on how to power-on the AP. The AP can be powered using the included PoE Power Injector or by a direct connection to a PoE LAN switch. Connecting the AP to ground is also covered. This chapter includes these sections: ◆ “Power Injector Module” on page 29 ◆ “How to Ground the Unit” on page 31 ◆ “How to Install the Power Injector” on page 32 Power Injector Module The AP receives power through its network cable connection using power-overEthernet technology. A power injector module is included in the AP package and provides two RJ-45 Ethernet ports, one for connecting to the AP (DATA & POWER OUT), and the other for connecting to a local LAN switch (DATA IN). The DATA IN port uses an MDI (that is, internal straight-through) pin configuration. You can therefore use straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect this port to most network interconnection devices such as a switch or router that provide MDIX ports. However, when connecting the access point to a workstation or other device that does not have MDI-X ports, you must use crossover twisted-pair cable.

It is powered on when its Ethernet port is connected to the power injector module, and the power injector module is connected to an AC power source. The power injector includes one LED indicator that turns on when AC power is applied. Table 3: Power Injector Module Status LED LED Status Indication On Yellow Module is receiving power. On Green The module is connected to the AP and supplying power. Blinking Green Module has detected an overload state or short-circuit condition. The power injector module automatically adjusts to any AC voltage between 100240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required. Caution: The power injector module is designed for indoor use only. Never mount the power injector outside with the AP unit. – 30 – Chapter 4 | Power and Grounding How to Ground the Unit How to Ground the Unit When connecting a ground wire to the AP, use the grounding screw on the unit. Be sure to use #14 AWG or larger copper core ground wire. Caution: Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes. Grounding the AP must be performed by a professional installer. The ground wire can be connected to a point on the bracket, pole, metal grounding plate, or directly to an earth termination. Make sure that there is a good electrical connection between the ground wire and the grounding point (no paint or isolating surface treatment). To connect a grounding wire to the AP, follow these steps: 1. Crimp a ring lug onto the end of the ground wire before connecting it to the unit. 2. Place the ground wire lug on one of the grounding points and firmly tighten the screw. Figure 16: Ground Wire Connection AP Ground Point Grounding Wire 3. Connect the other end of the grounding wire to a good ground (earth) connection. – 31 – Chapter 4 | Power and Grounding How to Install the Power Injector Note: Use cable strips to secure all cables to the pole. How to Install the Power Injector The power injector can be installed indoors on any horizontal surface, such as a desktop or shelf, or on a wall. Caution: Do not install the power injector outdoors. The unit is for indoor installation only. Caution: Install lightning protection at the power injector end of the Ethernet cable, use a lightning arrestor immediately before the cable enters the building. Figure 17: Connecting the Power Injector AC Power Cord DATA IN Port DATA & POWER OUT Port 1. Connect outdoor-rated Ethernet cable from the AP to the RJ-45 port labeled “DATA & POWER OUT” on the power injector. 2. Connect a straight-through unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable from a local LAN switch to the RJ-45 port labeled “DATA IN” on the power injector. Use Category 5e or better UTP cable for 10/100/1000BASE-T connections. – 32 – Chapter 4 | Power and Grounding How to Install the Power Injector 3. Insert the power cable plug into the standard AC socket on the power injector and the other end into a grounded, 3-pin socket, AC power source. Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the socket type in your country. 4. Check the LED on top of the power injector to be sure that power is being supplied to the power injector. – 33 – Chapter 4 | Power and Grounding How to Install the Power Injector – 34 – 5 Network Connections This chapter focuses on making connections to the AP’s network interfaces and details on network cable specifications.

The 802.11n standard operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Once the AP is installed and powered on, wireless clients can connect to the 802.11b/g/n radio interface using the 2.4 GHz band, or to the 802.11a/n radio using the 5 GHz band. The radio and authentication settings for wireless clients can be configured through management interfaces. For more information, refer to the Management Guide. – 36 – Chapter 5 | Network Connections How to Connect to the RJ-45 Port How to Connect to the RJ-45 Port The connection between the AP’s RJ-45 port and the PoE power injector requires outdoor-rated Category 5E or better Ethernet cable with RJ-45 plugs on each end. The length of the Ethernet cable should be less than 100 meters (328 ft). Copper Cabling Before connecting the Ethernet copper cable, first plan a cable route from the AP Guidelines outdoors to the PoE power injector indoors. Consider these guidelines: ◆ Make sure the cable distance does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft). ◆ Determine a building entry point for the cable. ◆ Determine if conduits, bracing, or other structures are required for safety or protection of the cable. ◆ Be sure to ground the outdoor-rated Ethernet cable immediately before it enters the building. See “Grounding the Ethernet Cable” on page 41. ◆ For additional lightning protection, it is recommended to use a lightning arrestor immediately before the Ethernet cable enters the building. 10/100BASE-TX Pin Most 100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can Assignments use straight-through or crossover cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable. Figure 20: RJ-45 Connector RJ-45 Pin Numbers – 37 – Chapter 5 | Network Connections How to Connect to the RJ-45 Port Table 4: 10/100BASE-TX MDI and MDI-X Port Pinouts Pin MDI Signal Namea MDI-X Signal Name Transmit Data plus (TD+) -52V power (Negative Vport) Receive Data plus (RD+) GND (Positive Vport) Transmit Data minus (TD-) -52V power (Negative Vport) Receive Data minus (RD-) GND (Positive Vport) Receive Data plus (RD+) GND (Positive Vport) Transmit Data plus (TD+) -52V power (Negative Vport) -52V power (Negative Vport) GND (Positive Vport) -52V power (Negative Vport) GND (Positive Vport) Receive Data minus (RD-) GND (Positive Vport) Transmit Data minus (TD-) -52V power (Negative Vport) GND (Positive Vport) -52V power (Negative Vport) GND (Positive Vport) -52V power (Negative Vport) a. The “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair. 1000BASE-T Pin All 1000BASE-T ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use Assignments straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, switches or hubs. The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port pinouts. These ports require that all four pairs of wires be connected. Note that for 1000BASE-T operation, all four pairs of wires are used for both transmit and receive. – 38 – Chapter 5 | Network Connections How to Connect to the RJ-45 Port Table 5: 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X Port Pinouts Pin MDI Signal Name MDI-X Signal Name Bi-directional Pair A Plus (BI_DA+) -52V power (Negative Vport) Bi-directional Pair B Plus (BI_DB+) GND (Positive Vport) Bi-directional Pair A Minus (BI_DA-) -52V power (Negative Vport) Bi-directional Pair B Minus (BI_DB-) GND (Positive Vport) Bi-directional Pair B Plus (BI_DB+) GND (Positive Vport) Bi-directional Pair A Plus (BI_DA+) -52V power (Negative Vport) Bi-directional Pair C Plus (BI_DC+) -52V power (Negative Vport) Bi-directional Pair D Plus (BI_DD+) GND (Positive Vport) Bi-directional Pair C Minus (BI_DC-) -52V power (Negative Vport) Bi-directional Pair D Minus (BI_DD-) GND (Positive Vport) Bi-directional Pair B Minus (BI_DB-) GND (Positive Vport) Bi-directional Pair A Minus (BI_DA-) -52V power (Negative Vport) Bi-directional Pair D Plus (BI_DD+) GND (Positive Vport) Bi-directional Pair C Plus (BI_DC+) -52V power (Negative Vport) Bi-directional Pair D Minus (BI_DD-) GND (Positive Vport) Bi-directional Pair C Minus (BI_DC-) -52V power (Negative Vport) 1000BASE-T Cable Requirements All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is recommended that for all critical connections, or any new cable installations, Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) or Category 6 cable should be used. The Category 5e and 6 specifications include test parameters that are only recommendations for Category 5. Therefore, the first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running 1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it complies with the IEEE 802.3-2008 standards. Connection Procedure Follow these steps to connect Ethernet copper cable to the AP’s RJ-45 twisted-pair copper port: Note: Connecting the Ethernet cable to the AP powers on the unit. 1.

Route the Ethernet cable from the AP to the power injector (or PoE LAN switch) following your cable plan and connect it to the “DATA & POWER OUT” port. The Power LED on the AP should turn on to indicate a valid link. Grounding the To comply with safety regulations, the shield of the outdoor-rated Ethernet cable Ethernet Cable must be connected to protective ground (earth). The grounding point can be either inside the building, or immediately at the entry point to the building, depending on where a protective ground is available. Caution: Grounding the outdoor-rated Ethernet cable must be performed by a professional installer in conformance with local safety regulations. This document proposes one method for grounding the outdoor-rated Ethernet cable through its drain wire. The actual connection method employed is left to the professional installer. To ground the outdoor-rated Ethernet cable, follow these steps: 1. Strip back about a one inch (2.4 cm) section of the Ethernet cable jacket to expose the drain wire. – 41 – Chapter 5 | Network Connections How to Connect to the RJ-45 Port Figure 23: Outdoor-Rated Ethernet Cable Drain Wire Drain Wire 2. Attach a grounding cable to the drain wire and then connect it to protective earth. 3. Use weatherproof tape to cover and seal the attachment area on the Ethernet cable. – 42 – 6 AP Management The AP includes a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the AP using its embedded management software. To manage the AP, you can make a direct connection to the console port (out-of-band), or you can manage it through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), a web browser, or SNMP-based network management software.

When you have completed your console session, remove the console cable and replace the waterproof cap on the connector. For a detailed description of connecting to the console and using the AP’s command line interface (CLI), refer to the Management Guide. – 46 – A Troubleshooting Diagnosing LED Indicators Table 7: Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action Power LED is Off ◆ ◆ LAN LED is Off ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ Check connections between the PoE Power Injector, the power cord and the wall outlet. Contact your dealer for assistance. Verify that the AP and attached PoE Power Injector are powered on. Be sure the cable is plugged into both the AP and PoE Power Injector. Verify that the proper cable type is used and its length does not exceed specified limits. Check the cable connections for possible defects. Replace the defective cable if necessary. System Self-Diagnostic Test Failure If there is a failure of the system power-on-self-test (POST), you can use a console connection to view the POST results. The POST results may indicate a failed component or help troubleshoot the problem. For more information on connecting to the console port and using the CLI, refer to the Management Guide. Note a POST failure normally indicates a serious hardware fault that cannot be rectified or worked around. If you encounter a POST failure, you should contact your dealer for assistance. Power Problems If the power indicator does not turn on when the Ethernet cable is plugged in, you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or PoE power injector. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet. If you still cannot isolate the problem, the PoE power injector may be defective. – 47 – Chapter A | Troubleshooting Installation Installation Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other components are functioning properly. Wireless Connection Problems If wireless clients cannot access the network, check the following items before you contact your local dealer for assistance: ◆ Be sure the AP and wireless clients are configured with the same Service Set ID (SSID). ◆ Ensure that wireless clients are properly configured with the appropriate authentication or encryption keys. ◆ If authentication is being performed through a RADIUS server, ensure that the clients are properly configured on the RADIUS server. ◆ If authentication is being performed through IEEE 802.1X, be sure the wireless users have installed and properly configured 802.1X client software. In-Band Access If the AP cannot be configured using Telnet, a web browser, or SNMP software: ◆ Be sure to have configured the AP with a valid IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. ◆ Check that you have a valid network connection to the AP and that the Ethernet port or the wireless interface that you are using has not been disabled. ◆ If you are connecting to the AP through the wired Ethernet interface, check the network cabling between the management station and the AP. If you are connecting to the AP from a wireless client, ensure that you have a valid connection to the AP. ◆ If you cannot connect using Telnet, you may have exceeded the maximum number of concurrent Telnet sessions permitted. Try connecting again at a later time. – 48 – Chapter A | Troubleshooting Out-of-Band Access Out-of-Band Access If you cannot access the on-board configuration program via a serial port connection: ◆ Be sure you have set the terminal emulator program to VT100 compatible, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and 115200 Baud Rate. ◆ Check that the null-modem serial cable conforms to the pin-out connections provided in “How to Connect to the Console Port” on page 45. Reset the Access Point If all other recovery measure fail, and the AP is still not functioning properly, take any of these steps to reset the AP’s hardware: ◆ Enter the “reload” command from the console interface. ◆ Restart the AP from the web interface. ◆ Perform a power reset. – 49 – Index Numerics 10/100 pin assignments 37 1000BASE-T pin assignments 38 hardware errors 47 hardware overview 11 hardware specifications 15 humidity specifications 15 AC power connection 33 antenna position 23 antennas, external 13 basic installation tasks 18 baud rate, console 45 bracket kit 14 in-band access 48 indicators, LED 36, 44 injector module 14 installation tasks 18 installation troubleshooting 48 interference, radio 24 introduction 16 cable grounding 41 cabling guidelines 24 chassis grounding 12, 13 connection of system 17 console port 12 console port, pin assignments 45 contents of package 16 copper cable connection 37 cover, weatherproof 40 key components 12 diagnosing LED indicators 47 diagnostic test failure 47 management out-of-band 43 web-based 43 MDI, RJ-45 pin configuration 29 mounting the AP 25 environmental specifications 15 equipment checklist 16 Ethernet RJ-45 port 12 external antennas 13 external antennas, mounting 27 ground points 12, 13 grounding Ethernet cable 41 grounding the AP 31 LED indicators port 36, 44 Power 44 link status LEDs 36 location guidelines 23 operating temperature 15 outdoor planning 24 outdoor-rated cable grounding 41 out-of-band access 49 out-of-band management 43 overview of hardware 11 – 50 – Index package contents 16 pin assignments console port 45 RJ-45 port 37 planning guidelines 23 PoE injector module 29 PoE port 12 pole mount bracket 14 pole mounting 25 port cover, weatherproof 40 port LEDs 36 position of AP 23 POST failure 47 power injector 14, 29 power LED 44 power problems 47 product overview 11 radio interfaces, connecting 36 radio interference 24 reset.AP 49 RJ-45 connection 37 RJ-45 port 12 routing cables 24 serial port 12 site selection 23 specifications, key 15 status LEDs 36, 44 system connections 17 system LEDs 13, 44 tasks, installation 18 technical specifications 15 temperature specifications 15 test point 13 troubleshooting LEDs 47 wall mount bracket 14 water-tight test point 13 weather conditions 24 weatherproof port cover 40 web-based management 43 wind velocity, operational 15 wireless problems 48 – 51 – Index – 52 – Headquarters No. 1, Creation Rd.
