LAN
Cable Ports
All MP access point models except the MP-52 have two RJ-45 ports. (See
Figure 2.) Each port provides a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet connection to an MX
switch. The connection can be direct to an MX-switch or indirect through an
intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.
MP model MP-52 has one RJ-45 port for direct or indirect connection to an MX
switch. (See Figure 4.)
Note. The DC input and serial console port on the MP-52 are not used.
The MPs receive power and data through the RJ-45 ports. Use a Category 5
(Cat 5) cable with straight-through signaling and standard RJ-45 connectors to
connect an MP to an MX switch or other device in the network.
The two RJ-45 ports support dual-homed configurations for redundancy. An MP
uses only one link for booting, configuration, and data transfer. If the link
becomes unavailable, the MP can reboot using the other link. The ports are
identical except for logical numbering (1 or 2). You can use either port to connect
an MP access point to an MX switch. However, an MP always attempts to boot on

MP port 1 first. Only if the boot attempt on port 1 fails does the MP attempt to
boot on port 2. If both ports are directly connected to MX switch ports supplying
Power over Ethernet (PoE), the ports load-share. If one port becomes unavailable,
the other port can provide full power to the MP.
Note. MP access points do not support daisy-chain configurations. Do not
connect the MP access point to another MP access point.
External Antenna Connector
The MP-341 and MP-352 each have a connector for attaching an optional external
sectorized antenna for the 802.11b/g radio. (See Figure 2.) Table 2 lists the
external antennas. (The MP-262 also uses these antenna models. An external
antenna is required for the 802.11b/g radio in an MP-262.)

Connection Options
Chapter 2
Connection Options
You can connect an MP access port directly to an MX switch port or indirectly to
MX switches through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. In either case,
use Category 5 (CAT 5) cable with straight-through signaling for each MP
connection.
For MP models with two Ethernet ports, you can provide data link redundancy by
connecting both of its ports directly to MX switch ports or indirectly to MX
switches through the network.
For all MP models, you can provide MX management redundancy even on a
single MP Ethernet port by connecting the MP indirectly to multiple MX switches
through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.
Note. Install the Cat 5 cables for the MP access point at the installation site
before installing the access point itself. During installation, you will insert the
Cat 5 cable(s) into the MP port(s) before attaching the access point to the
bracket.

Installation Requirements and Recommendations
Chapter 3
Installation Requirements and
Recommendations
For best results, follow these requirements and recommendations before installing
an MP access point.
RingMaster Network Plan and Work Orders
If you are using RingMaster to plan your Trapeze Networks Mobility System
installation, you might want to create and verify a network plan for the entire
Trapeze network installation and generate an MP work order, before installing MP
access points. A network plan and the MP work orders generated from it provide
the following information about MP access point installation and configuration:
●
Number of MP access points required for adequate WLAN capacity in each
coverage area
●
Detailed installation location for each MP access point
●
Settings for all MP access points in the WLAN
(For information about installing RingMaster, creating and verifying a network
plan, and generating an MP work order, see the Trapeze RingMaster User’s Guide
and Trapeze RingMaster Reference Manual.)
MX Switch Recommendation
Trapeze Networks recommends that you install and configure the MX switch
before installing an MP access point. If the switch is already installed and
configured for the MP access point(s), you can immediately verify the cable
connection(s) when you plug the cable(s) into the MP access point.
Caution! MP models MP-341, MP-352 and MP-52 are designed to receive
power only from an 802.11af-compliant source, a Trapeze Networks Mobility
Exchange (MX) switch, or a Trapeze-approved power injector. Connecting an
MP access point to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device that is not approved by
Trapeze Networks can damage the equipment. Other MP models do not
support 802.11af.

Installation Requirements and Recommendations
Chapter 3
(For information about connecting an MP access point to an MX switch port, see
“Connecting an MP to an MX Switch” on page 59.)
Wall Installation Recommendations
If you plan to install MP model MP-341 or MP-352 on a partial wall or other
vertical surface, orient the top of the access point (the side with the LEDs) toward
the intended coverage area. The radio antennas transmit through the top of the
access point but not through the bottom (where the bracket is).
This recommendation does not apply if you plan to use only the 802.11b/g radio,
with an exernal antenna. You can orient the antenna independently of the MP
itself. Orient an external antenna to face the intended coverage area.
MP Radio Safety Advisories
When you enable the MP radio(s) as part of MX switch configuration, the radios
are able to receive and transmit radio frequency energy as soon as you connect the
MP access point(s) to the MX switch, either directly or through the network.
Radio Frequency Exposure
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Docket 96-8 for Spread Spectrum
Transmitters specifies a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with the
proper antennas (shipped in the product), Trapeze Networks MP access point
products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and
ANSI C95.1-1991. Proper installation of the MP access point according to the
instructions in this manual will result in user exposure that is substantially below
the FCC recommended limits.

Additional Radio Safety Advisories
(For translations of these warnings, see “Radio Safety Warnings” on page 78.)
Warning! In the U.S., locate the MP access point a minimum of 20 cm
(7.9 inches) away from people. This safety warning conforms with FCC radio
frequency exposure limits for dipole antennas such as those used in the MP
access point.
Warning! Do not operate the MP access point near unshielded blasting caps
or in an otherwise explosive environment unless the device has been modified
for such use by qualified personnel.
Warning! Do not touch or move the MP access point when the antennas are
transmitting or receiving.
Warning! Do not hold any radio device so that the antenna is very close to or
touching the face, eyes, or other exposed body part while the device's radio
antenna is transmitting.
Warning! Before using a wireless device in a hazardous location, consult the
local codes, national codes, and safety directors of the location for usage
constraints.
Cable Requirements
Warning! Do not connect or disconnect cables or otherwise work with the MP
access point hardware during periods of lightning activity. (For translations of
this warning, see “Lightning Warning” on page 81.)

Note. The MP access point is intended for indoor use only. Do not install the
device outdoors, unless you install it in a properly installed Trapeze Networks
outdoor MP enclosure.
Note. To reduce the possibility of connection interference caused by dust,
clean the Cat 5 connector pins before inserting a cable into an MP access point.
Cat 5 cable with straight-through signaling must be installed at the site before you
install an MP access point. A single connection requires one cable. A dual-homed
connection requires two cables.
Table 5 lists the pin signals for 10/100 Ethernet straight-through wiring. Pins 4, 5,
7, and 8 are used when Trapeze Power over Ethernet (PoE) is enabled on the port.
RD means Receive Data and TD means Transmit Data.

Mounting an MP access point on a solid surface requires Cat 5 cable that does not
have strain relief. For installation on all other surfaces, you can use Cat 5 cable
with or without strain relief.

Solid Wall or Ceiling Installation
Note. The solid surface mounting option requires Cat 5 cable that does not
have strain relief, unless you plan to route the cable through a hole in the wall
or ceiling. The other options can use Cat 5 cable with or without strain relief.
(For required mounting hardware and tools, see Table 6 on page 27.)
Prepare holes in the wall or ceiling for the universal mounting bracket, using
the following steps:
Place the paper mounting template over the location where you want to
install the MP access point.
Mark the screw hole location(s).
❍
❍
If you plan to route the Cat 5 cable externally along the wall or
ceiling, mark the locations of both the center screw hole and the
screw hole by the port connector opening.
If you plan to route the Cat 5 cable through a hole in the wall or
ceiling, mark the location of the center screw hole only. You cannot
use the screw hole by the port connector opening if you cut a hole for
the opening.
Note. Do not mark the four holes on the edges of the bracket. (These
are the holes indicated by the dashed lines in Figure 31.) The MP access
point fits into these holes. They are not screw holes.
Remove the template.
Install the drywall anchor(s):
Hammer a drywall anchor into each hole, up to the beginning of the

ports by default. You or the system administrator must change the port type for
an MX port directly connected to an MP to activate the link. (See the Trapeze
Mobility Exchange Installation and Basic Configuration Guide.)
Verifying MP Health
After you install the MP access point and enable PoE on the Ethernet cable
connected to the MP, you can easily verify the MP’s status by observing the LEDs,
particularly the health LED (MP-341 or MP-352) or the LINK LED (MP-52).
(See Figure 6 on page 14 or Figure 3 on page 10.)
The health or LINK LED indicates whether the MP access point is ready for
operation.
●
If the LED is green and glowing steadily, the MP has been booted
successfully by the MX switch and is ready for operation.
●
If the LED is not steadily glowing green, contact the system administrator for
the MX switch or, if you are the system administrator, see Appendix A, “MP
Troubleshooting,” on page 63.

MAC Addresses
All MP access point models except MP-101 and MP-122 are assigned blocks of
64 MAC addresses each. Each radio has 32 MAC addresses and can therefore
support up to 32 SSIDs, with one MAC address assigned to each SSID as its
BSSID.
Models MP-101 and MP-122 are assigned blocks of four MAC addresses each.
Each radio on models MP-101 and MP-122 is assigned one MAC address, which
is shared by both the clear SSID and the encrypted SSID.
