Firetide™ HotPoint™ 1000R Outdoor Wireless Mesh Router
The Firetide HotPoint 1000R outdoor wireless mesh router brings all of
the benefits of Firetide’s instant mesh networking to outdoor and long
range applications. With its extended operating range and NEMA 4
certified enclosure, this rugged version of Firetide’s HotPoint wireless
mesh router enables mesh networks to operate in outdoor environments
and to span great distances for both rural and metro applications. The
HotPoint 1000R provides two weatherproof Ethernet ports for
provisioning Ethernet instantly without the need for a wired backhaul.
Eliminating the wired backhaul enables the installation of outdoor
networking equipment—such as weatherized access points, computers,
and surveillance cameras-virtually anywhere at a fraction of the time and
cost associated with installing wired outdoor solutions.
Firetide mesh networks provide a reliable, flexible, and scalable
alternative to standard LAN cabling. Because they form automatically
without wires, Firetide mesh networks do not require elaborate site
surveys or physical modifications to buildings and landscaping. Outdoor
network installation costs will drop dramatically because time-consuming
trenching and cable pulling between buildings is no longer needed.
Provisioning is also easy and fast because special drivers, setup,
interfaces, and configurations are not required for equipment to connect
to a Firetide instant mesh network.

Firetide Wireless Instant Network
Firetide developed the Wireless Instant Network, based on the HotPoint Wireless Mesh Router, to
enable faster, easier and more affordable network deployment. Firetide’s patented mesh
networking technology makes it possible to survey, plan and deploy an entire network in less than
one day rather than weeks. The Firetide network is also portable. Your entire network can be
relocated simply by taking your HotPoint routers with you to your new location.
What is a Firetide Mesh Network?
Firetide mesh networks feature a self-configuring, self-healing, multi-hop topology. Because of
these inherent self-organizing properties, a mesh network requires no manual configuration.
Thus, creating a new network or adding or relocating network equipment is as easy as powering
up new nodes. The network automatically discovers the new nodes and integrates them into the
mesh.
A big advantage of a mesh network is its robustness and ability to heal itself. If a node is
disconnected, congested, or fails to operate, neighboring nodes are notified, and data is routed
around it. There is no need for a network engineer to intervene, troubleshoot, and cure the
problem.
Firetide Mesh Network with Indoor and Outdoor Wireless Mesh Routers
Mesh networking can be compared to the Internet, where data can be rerouted on other paths if
one path becomes disabled or congested. Losing a node or two or a link won’t bring down the
entire mesh network. Unlike other WLAN technologies, a mesh network’s reliability and scalability
can actually improve by adding more nodes and enriching the density of the mesh. More
redundant paths means the network in aggregate can handle far more data traffic, and is
therefore quite scalable. Mesh networks are ideal whenever the network must be reliable,

scalable, and flexible. They are very portable and can adapt well to many different physical
environments.
Building a Firetide Mesh Network
Installing, expanding, or even relocating a Firetide Mesh network is easy and fast. Simply place a
HotPoint router wherever you need an Ethernet port and connect it to an AC power source. As
long as the HotPoint router is within operating range of other HotPoint routers, you can connect
and operate your network devices immediately. Although network planning is often not required
for basic installations, adhering to a few simple guidelines will help ensure that your network
performs reliably and gives you the full benefi ts and performance that mesh networking has to
offer.
Important! Use the Correct RJ-45 Ethernet Cable
The type of Ethernet cable to use depends on what you connect to the HotPoint router. End
devices such as video cameras and access points require crossover cables. Multi-user devices
such as hubs and switches as well as most cable and DSL modems require straight-through
(non-crossover) cables. Devices with auto-sensing MDI/MDIX ports can use either crossover or
straight-through cables. Both cable types with weatherproof connectors are available from your
Firetide dealer. See Accessories on page 22 for available cables.
Understand HotPoint Antenna Patterns
HotPoint 1000R outdoor mesh routers have omni directional antennas that radiate in a broad
circular pattern perpendicular to the antenna shaft. For optimum coverage, orient the antennas in
your mesh network vertically (perpendicular to the ground).
Line-of-Sight Improves Operating Distance
Although HotPoint wireless mesh routers can communicate between walls and buildings, you can
increase the working distance of your outdoor mesh router by avoiding obstacles made of dense
materials such as concrete and metal. Positioning the HotPoint 1000R units so the space
between them provides an unobstructed, line-of-sight view, will greatly increase the effective
range and reliability of transmission. They should be located high enough to prevent interruption
from passing motor vehicles or pedestrians.
HotPoint 1000R Outdoor Wireless Mesh Router
Page 9
For best results, position the HotPoint 1000R antenna above obstructions.
Create a Mesh Topology for Maximum Performance and Reliability
Unlike simple point-to-point bridging, Firetide provides true mesh networking with flexible and
redundant paths. This improves overall performance, allows the network to be extended over long
distances, and reduces the chance of single point failures. To fully benefit from the self-forming
and self-healing properties of the mesh, place each HotPoint router within direct range of two or
more HotPoint routers. Also, do not install your HotPoint network in a linear, point-to-point
configuration. The Firetide network protocol is optimized for two- and three-dimensional
topologies including vertical connections between multiple floors in a building.

Use the HotPoint Manager Software
Installation and User Guide
Page 10
Although this software is not required for installing or operating your network, the HotPoint
Manager software provides an easy way to monitor and manage the mesh and your HotPoint
routers. Because wireless connections between HotPoint routers are invisible, this software lets
you “see” which units are within direct range of each other. HotPoint Manager also provides
additional security and optional configuration features. You can download the software from the
Firetide web site. See page 16 for information on downloading and installing HotPoint Manager.

WARNING! IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The HotPoint 1000R outdoor wireless mesh router must be installed by a qualified
professional such as a licensed electrician. Failure to install this equipment properly may
result in equipment damage and personal injury or death.
Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions that are included with the
equipment you are installing. Look over the site before beginning any installation, and anticipate
possible hazards, especially these:
CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL.
Do not install the HotPoint 1000R outdoor mesh router where possible contact with power lines
can be made. Antennas, masts, towers, guy wires or cables may lean or fall and contact these
lines. People may be injured or killed if they are touching or holding any part of equipment when it
contacts electric lines. Make sure there is NO possibility that equipment or personnel can come in
contact directly or indirectly with power lines.
ASSUME ALL OVERHEAD LINES ARE POWER LINES!
The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line should be at
least twice the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This will ensure that the mast will not
contact power if it falls either during or after installation.
TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE
GROUND.
• Select equipment locations that will allow safe and simple installation.
• Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens.
• Use approved non-conducting ladders and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is
in good repair.
• If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.
• If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line, DON’T TOUCH IT
OR ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. Instead, save your life by calling the power company.
• Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.
MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND ELECTRICAL
CABLES CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS. This will help prevent
fire damage or human injury in case of lightning, static build-up, or short circuit within equipment
connected to the antenna. The HotPoint 1000R has an external ground connector and built in
lightning protection. Be sure that any other equipment connected to the HotPoint 1000R also has
the same level of protection.
• The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the building protective
ground or to one or more approved grounding rods, using 10AWG ground wire and corrosion-
resistant connectors.
• Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.
IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND CANNOT MOVE:
• DON’T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.
• Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them so they no longer are in
contact with electrical power.
• Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are certified, and
request emergency medical aid immediately.

advertising materials that such products contain software developed by UC Berkeley and its
contributors. Specifically, the provision reads:
3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software must display the following
acknowledgement: “This product includes software developed by the University of California,
Berkeley and its contributors.”
Effective immediately, licensees and distributors are no longer required to include the
acknowledgement within advertising materials. Accordingly, the foregoing paragraph of those
BSD Unix fi les containing it is hereby deleted in its entirety.
