MP access points are designed for use with a Trapeze Networks Mobility Exchange (MX) switch. MP access points require hardware installation only. All configuration for an MP access point takes place on the MX switch. This guide describes MP model MP-372. The MP-372 has one 802.11a radio and one 802.11b/g radio. Both radios have internal diversity omnidirectional antennas. In addition, both radios have separate jacks for attachment of optional external sectorized or directional antennas. The antennas must be ordered separately. Warning! Installation must be performed by qualified service personnel only. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or included in the documentation. Before installing the product, read the Trapeze Regulatory Information document. (For translations of this warning, see “Qualified Service Personnel Warning” on page 63.) Note. The MP radios are disabled by default and can be enabled only by a system administrator using the MX switch. MP Overview External Hardware Features Chapter 2 External Hardware Features Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the external hardware features of the MP-372. Figure 1. MP Access Point Model MP-372—Top View Diameter 16.76 cm (6.6 inches) Figure 2. 840-9502-0040 Height 4.69 cm (1.85 inches) MP Access Point Model MP-372—Bottom View External antenna connectors Kensington security slot 802.11a 840-9502-0007 Unlock 802.11b/g RJ-45 ports Port 2 Port 1 Trapeze Mobility Point Installation Guide External Hardware Features Chapter 2 Cable Ports The MP-372 has 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. The MP receives 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 MP-372 supports 802.3af, and also can receive PoE from Trapeze switches and Trapeze-approved power injectors. (See the Release Notes for Trapeze Networks Mobility Point Access Points.) 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 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. MP Overview External Hardware Features Chapter 2 External Antenna Connectors The MP-372 has connectors for attaching optional external antennas. (See Figure 2.) Table 1 lists the external antenna models. Table 1. Trapeze External Antenna Models Model Type Gain 802.11a ANT-5120 (ASTN6T) Beamwidth Horizontal Vertical 14.5 dBi 60° 14° 802.11a 12.5 dBi 120° 14° ANT-5180 (ASTN6H) 802.11a 10.8 dBi 180° 14° ANT-1060 802.11b/g 10 dBi 60° 65° ANT-1120 802.11b/g 7 dBi 120° 60° ANT-1180 802.11b/g 6 dBi 180° 40° ANT-5060 (ASTN6S) 1.

Note. The MP-372 radios are certified for use only with these external antennas. Figure 3 shows the 802.11b/g antennas. 10 Trapeze Mobility Point Installation Guide External Hardware Features Chapter 2 Figure 3. External 802.11b/g Antennas Model ANT-1120 Model ANT-1180 840-9502-0077 Model ANT-1060 The 802.11a external antennas look similar to the 802.11b/g model ANT-1180, but each has a reflector plate specific to the model number. You can identify an 802.11a external antenna’s model by looking on the back of its reflector plate. Do not reverse or remove the reflector plate. It is required for antenna operation. Each antenna comes with a connector cable, mounting hardware, and installation instructions. Caution! The external connectors on the MP are labeled: 11B/G and 11A. Each connector is a standard SMA connector. Make sure you attach the antenna to the correct connector. Note. Operation in the band 5.15–5.25 Ghz is restricted to indoor use only. MP Overview 11 External Hardware Features Chapter 2 Kensington Security Slot Models MP-372 has a slot for attachment of a Kensington security cable. The cable is not included with the MP but can be ordered separately. MP Mounting Options You can mount an MP access point on any of the following types of surfaces: ● Suspended T-bar ceiling ● Junction box ● Solid surface wall or ceiling ● Tabletop Note. The solid surface mounting option requires Cat 5 cable that does not have strain relief. The other mounting options can use Cat 5 cable with or without strain relief. Status LEDs The MP has LEDs that provide status information for the device. Figure 4 shows the locations of the LEDs. Table 2 describes the LEDs.

This state can occur amber due to any of the following: • Excessive radio interference in the environment is preventing the radio from sending beacons. • The radio has failed. Unlit Means one of the following: • Radio is disabled. • Radio is enabled, but no clients are associated with the radio and there is no traffic activity. MP Overview 13 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. You also can provide data link redundancy by connecting both of its ports directly to MX switch ports or indirectly to MX switches through the network. 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. 14 Trapeze Mobility Point Installation Guide 3 Installing and Connecting an MP-372 Unpacking an MP . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Installation Requirements and Recommendations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18 Installing an MP-372 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22 Connecting an MP to an MX Switch . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 Verifying MP Health . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52 Note.

Installing and Connecting an MP-372 17 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 model MP-372 is designed to receive power only from an 802.3af-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. 18 Trapeze Mobility Point Installation Guide 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 50.) Wall Installation Recommendations If you plan to install an MP 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 external antennas. You can orient the antennas 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 below the FCC recommended limits. Additional Radio Safety Advisories (For translations of warnings, see “Radio Safety Warnings” on page 64.) Warning! In the U.S., locate the MP access point and any externally attached antennas 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. Installing and Connecting an MP-372 19 Installation Requirements and Recommendations Chapter 3 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 67.) 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. 20 Trapeze Mobility Point Installation Guide Installation Requirements and Recommendations Chapter 3 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 3 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. Table 3. 10/100 Ethernet Straight-Through Pin Signals MX Switch Other Device Pin Function Pin Function RD+ TD+ RD- TD- TD+ RD+ PoE+ PoE+ PoE+ PoE+ TD- RD- PoE- PoE- PoE- PoE- Mounting an MP access point on a solid surface requires Cat 5 cable that does not have strain relief.

Trapeze Mobility Point Installation Guide Installing an MP-372 Chapter 3 Connecting an MP to an External Antenna Each radio in an MP-372 can use an optional Trapeze external antenna. To mount the antenna, see the instructions that come with the antenna. Caution! The external antenna must be installed at least 20 cm from the MP access point. To connect a mounted external antenna to an MP-372: Attach the exterior antenna cable that is shipped with the antenna to the MP external antenna connector. Both connectors are labeled to indicate the radio type. The MP has standard SMA connectors for attachment to the 802.11b/g antenna and to the 802.11a antenna. (For the location of the external antenna connectors, see Figure 2 on page 8.) Caution! The external connectors on the MP are labeled: 11B/G and 11A. Each connector is a standard SMA connector. Make sure you attach the antenna to the correct connector. Note. If the MP is installed in a Trapeze Networks outdoor MP enclosure, attach the antenna cable to the lightning surge arrestor (if installed) or the enclosure’s SMA bulkhead connector. Attach the other end of the antenna cable to the antenna. If the other ends of the Cat 5 cable(s) are not already connected and the link activated, go to “Connecting an MP to an MX Switch” on page 50. Otherwise, go to “Verifying MP Health” on page 52. Installing and Connecting an MP-372 49 Connecting an MP to an MX Switch Chapter 3 Connecting an MP to an MX Switch You can connect an MP access point directly to an MX switch or indirectly to the switch through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network. ● To connect the MP directly to an MX switch, configure the MX switch port as an MP access port and use the following procedure to insert the cable into the MX switch and verify the link. ● To connect the MP indirectly to an MX switch though the network, configure a Distributed MP connection on the MX switch. You can use the CLI or RingMaster to configure an MP access port or Distributed MP connection. (See the Trapeze Mobility System Software Configuration Guide or the Trapeze RingMaster User’s Guide.) Figure 36 shows how to insert a Cat 5 cable into 10/100 Ethernet port on an MX switch. Refer to this figure as you perform the procedure. Figure 36. 10/100 Cat 5 Cable Installation Ethernet port MX-20 Ethernet cable (Cat 5 cable) 50 MP, switch, server or other device Insert a Cat 5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector as shown in Figure 36. For connection to an MP access point, use a straight-through cable. Trapeze Mobility Point Installation Guide 840-9502-0058 ange y Exch Mobilit Connecting an MP to an MX Switch Chapter 3 When the link is activated, observe the MP LED for the port on the MX switch: MP LED Appearance Meaning Solid green For an MP access point’s active link, all the following are true: • MP access point has booted. • MP access point has received a valid configuration from the MX switch. • Management link with an MP access point is operational. • At least one radio is enabled or is in sentry mode. For an MP access point’s secondary link, the link is present. Alternating green and amber MP access point is booting with an image received from the MX switch. After the access point boots and receives its configuration, this LED appearance persists until a radio is enabled or is placed in sentry mode. Solid amber PoE is on. Blinking amber MP is unresponsive or there is a PoE problem. Unlit PoE is off. Note. An MX switch’s 10/100 Ethernet ports are configured as wired network 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.) Installing and Connecting an MP-372 51 Verifying MP Health Chapter 3 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. (See Figure 4 on page 12.) The health or LINK LED indicates whether the MP access point is ready for operation. 52 ● 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 53. Trapeze Mobility Point Installation Guide A MP Troubleshooting After you insert a Cat 5 cable into an MP access point’s port connector and enable PoE on the cable, observe the device’s health or LINK LED to determine the status of the connection with the MX switch. ● If the LED is green and is 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, see Table 5. (For descriptions of all the LEDs, see “Status LEDs” on page 12.) MP Troubleshooting 53 Appendix A Table 5. Health LED States Health or LINK LED Appearance Diagnosis Remedy Not solid green MP radio needs to be enabled. Enable at least one of the radios. If the LED is still not solid green, try the remedy listed in this table based on the LED’s appearance. Unlit MP access point is not receiving power. Check the Cat 5 cable connection(s). For a direct connection to an MX switch: • Set the port type on the MX switch to an MP port. • Verify that Power over Ethernet (PoE) is enabled on the MX switch port connected to the MP access point. For an indirect connection through the network: • Configure a Distributed MP connection on an MX switch. • Verify that a Trapeze-approved PoE source is supplying power to the MP. Slowly alternating green and amber MP access point is booting Wait a few seconds for the boot with an image received from process to complete. If this LED an MX switch. appearance persists, enable a radio or place a radio in sentry mode. Solid amber MP access point is waiting to receive boot instructions and a configuration file from an MX switch. 54 Wait a few seconds for the boot process to begin. If the LED remains amber, try the remedies for the other health LED appearances. If the LED still remains amber, make sure the MP access point is securely connected to its PoE source and to the network or MX switch.
