The HotPort FT5900 contains two radios. The
number of radios that will be active is
determined by the license. Use of 802.11n
MIMO is also enabled via license and other
radio is dedicated 900MHz.

Planning Your Installation
HotPort 5900 nodes are easy to install. They
are mechanically compatible with existing
HotPort nodes. HotPort 5900 nodes form
their own mesh
Refer to the Hot View Pro Reference Guide for
details
Staging Considerations
You should set up and test your nodes on
a bench or table before installing them. This
will allow you to pre-configure the nodes so
that they are all on the same RF channel, etc.
1. Set up your HotPort node in a lab with
all other HotPort units using the right
antennas,
2. Make the necessary connections and
power the units.
3. Install the HotView Pro software on a
workstation and connect the
workstation to a HotPort node. (See
the HotView Pro Reference Guide for
information about installing and using
HotView)
You will use HotView Pro to configure the
nodes and create a mesh network. Configure
and test the settings you plan to use.
1. Begin by checking to see that all nodes are
visible in HotView. If not, troubleshoot this
problem according to the directions in the
HotView Pro Reference Guide.
2. Set the Country Code for your country of
operation.
3. Re-verify that all nodes are visible.
4. Verify that dual-radio node and 900MHz
Radio Node correctly are meshed.
Installing the Node
Antenna Orientation
Node installation is straightforward. Insert the
unit in the housing. Attach the antennas.
MIMO technology takes advantage of signal
reflections to improve performance. Antenna
orientation affects this. Firetide recommends
that you begin deployment with the antennas
Apply power. The power LED should
illuminate immediately; after about 60 to 90
seconds the status LED should switch to
steady green
Depending on performance, you may wish to
try other orientations. The antennas between
the 900MHz node and the Dual radio node
are sufficiently apart to avoid any interference
