Installation Requirements and Recommendations
For best results, follow these requirements and recommendations before installing an MP.
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 MPs required for adequate WLAN capacity in each coverage area
Detailed installation location for each MP
Settings for all MPs 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 before installing an MP. If the
switch is already installed and configured for the MP(s), you can immediately verify the cable
connection(s) when you plug the cable(s) into the MP.
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. Orient an external antenna to face the intended coverage area.
Cabling Requirement
The Ethernet ports on an MP access point cannot accept a Cat 5 cable that has an uneven sheath such
as the one shown in Figure 1–2. The RJ-45 connector on the cable will not seat properly in the
receptacle on the MP. Use a Cat 5 cable with an even sheath instead.
Warning!
All Indoor MP models are 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.
Warning!
The MP-432 requires a high-power PoE in order to operate as a dual concurrent radio in
802.11n mode with two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports. This is provided by a high-power,
four wire solution or from two 802.3af PoE inputs on the two Ethernet ports as long as
they use the same pair of wires.
In High power mode, the power budget supports the full function of this AP. In order to
work under the 802.3af limitation, the MP-432 is configured to a default lower power
mode.

Connecting an MP to an External Antenna
Each radio in an MP-422 or MP-372 can use an optional Trapeze external antenna. To mount the
antenna, see the instructions that come with the antenna.
To connect a mounted external antenna to an MP-422 or MP-372:
1. 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.
2. Attach the other end of the antenna cable to the antenna.
Configuring the MP
To configure the channels, power settings, and other MP parameters, see the following:
Trapeze Mobility System Software Quick Start Guide
“Configuring MP Access Points” chapter in the Trapeze Mobility System Software Configuration
Guide
External Antenna Connectors
The Indoor MPs (except for the MP-432) havev connectors for attaching optional external antennas.
Table 1– 2 lists the external antenna models.
!
Caution
The external antenna must be installed at least 20 cm from the MP access point.
!
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.
