Hardware Overview
The MP-620 provides wireless access point services for clients in the local LAN
area. It is housed in a weatherproof enclosure for mounting outdoors and includes
its own brackets for attaching to a wall, pole, radio mast, or tower structure. The
unit is powered through its Ethernet cable connection from a power injector
module that is installed indoors.
Radio Characteristics – The IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g standards use a radio
modulation technique known as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM), and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). The 802.11a standard
operates in the 5 GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII)
band, and the 802.11g standard in the 2.4 GHz band.
IEEE 802.11g includes backward compatibility with the IEEE 802.11b standard.
IEEE 802.11b also operates at 2.4 GHz, but uses Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code Keying (CCK) modulation
technology to achieve a communication rate of up to 11 Mbps.
The MP-620 provides a 54 Mbps half-duplex connection for each active channel.

Power Injector Module
The MP-620 receives power through its network cable connection using
power-over-Ethernet technology. A power injector module is included in the
MP-620 package and provides two RJ-45 Ethernet ports, one for connecting to the
MP-620 (Output), and the other for connecting to an MX switch or a local LAN
switch (Input).
The Input port uses an MDI (i.e., internal straight-through) pin configuration. You
can therefore use straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect this port to most
network interconnection devices such as a switch or router that provide MDI-X
ports. However, when connecting the access point to a workstation or other device
that does not have MDI-X ports, you must use crossover twisted-pair cable.
Figure 3. Power Injector Module
The MP-620 does not have a power switch. It is powered on when its Ethernet
port is connected to the power injector module, and the power injector module is
connected to an AC power source. The power injector includes one LED indicator
that turns on when AC power is applied.
The power injector module automatically adjusts to any AC voltage between
100-240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
Warning! The power injector module is designed for indoor use only. Never
mount the power injector outside with MP-620 unit.

connection(s) when you plug the cable(s) into the MP access point.
(For information about connecting an MP access point to an MX switch port, see
“Connecting an MP to an MX Switch” on page 25.)
Weather Conditions
When planning an MP-620 installation, you must take into account any extreme
weather conditions that are known to affect your location. Consider these factors:
●Temperature — The MP-620 is tested for normal operation in temperatures
from -33°C to 55°C. Operating in temperatures outside of this range may
cause the unit to fail.
●Wind Velocity — The MP-620 can operate in winds up to 90 MPH and
survive higher wind speeds up to 125 MPH. You must consider the known
maximum wind velocity and direction at the site and be sure that any
supporting structure, such as a pole, mast, or tower, is built to withstand this
force.
Caution! MP model MP-620 is designed to receive power only from 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.
Installation Requirements and Recommendations
Chapter 3

●Lightning — The MP-620 includes its own built-in lightning protection.
However, you should make sure that the unit, any supporting structure, and
cables are all properly grounded. Additional protection using lightning rods,
lightning arrestors, or surge suppressors may also be employed.
●Rain — The MP-620 is weatherproofed against rain. Also, prolonged heavy
rain has no significant effect on the radio signal. However, it is recommended
to apply weatherproof sealing tape around the Ethernet port and antenna
connectors for extra protection. If moisture enters a connector, it may cause a
degradation in performance.
●Snow and Ice — Falling snow, like rain, has no significant effect on the radio
signal. However, a build up of snow or ice on antennas may cause a
degradation in performance. In this case, the snow or ice has to be cleared
from the antennas to restore proper operation of the unit.
Ethernet Cabling
When you have determined a suitable location for the MP-620, you must plan a
cable route from the MP-620 outdoors to the power injector module indoors.
Consider these points:
●The Ethernet cable length should never be longer than 100 m (328 ft)
●Determine a building entry point for the cable
●Determine if conduits, bracing, or other structures are required for safety or
protection of the cable
●For lightning protection at the power injector end of the cable, consider using
a lightning arrestor immediately before the cable enters the building
Grounding
It is important that the MP-620 unit, cables, lightning protectors, and any
supporting structures are properly grounded. The MP-620 unit includes a
grounding screw for attaching a ground wire. Be sure that grounding is available
and that it meets local and national electrical codes.

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

Installing an MP-620
The MP-620 includes its own bracket kit for mounting the unit to a 1.5 to 2 inch
diameter steel pole or tube. The pole-mounting bracket allows the unit to be
mounted to part of a radio mast or tower structure. The unit also has a
wall-mounting bracket kit that enables it to be fixed to a building wall or roof
when using external antennas.
Hardware installation of the MP-620 involves these steps:
1Mount the unit on a wall, pole, mast, or tower using the mounting bracket.
2Mount external antennas on the same supporting structure as the MP-620 and
connect them to the unit.
3Connect the Ethernet cable and a grounding wire to the unit.
4Connect the power injector to the Ethernet cable, a local LAN switch, and an
AC power source.
Mounting the Unit
You can mount the MP-620 using either the pole-mounting bracket or the
wall-mounting bracket. Use one of the following procedures.
Using the Pole-Mounting Bracket
Perform the following steps to mount the unit to a 1.5 to 2 inch diameter steel pole
or tube using the mounting bracket:
1Always attach the bracket to a pole with the open end of the mounting
grooves facing up.
2Place the U-shaped part of the bracket around the pole and tighten the
securing nut just enough to hold the bracket to the pole. (The bracket may
need to be rotated around the pole during the alignment process.)

Cables and Pinouts
This appendix describes the wiring and pin assignments for the cables and
connectors that can be used with the MP-620.
Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments
For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of
wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire
might be green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector
must be attached to both ends of the cable.
The following figure illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are
numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching
the wires to the pins.
Caution! Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a
specific orientation.
Caution! DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into a power injector RJ-45
port. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC
standards.
Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments
Appendix B
Trapeze MP-620 Installation Guide
44
Figure 13. Pin Numbering on RJ-45 Connector
10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments
Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for RJ-45
connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or
100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also be sure
that
the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
The RJ-45 Input port on the power injector is wired with MDI pinouts. This
means that you must use crossover cables for connections to PCs or servers, and
straight-through cable for connections to switches or hubs. However, when
connecting to devices that support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration,
you can use either straight-through or crossover cable.

Because the 10/100 Mbps Input port on the power injector uses an MDI pin
configuration, you must use “straight-through” cable for network connections to
hubs or switches that only have MDI-X ports. However, if the device to which
you are connecting supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use either
“straight-through” or “crossover” cable.
Figure 14. Straight-Through Cable Wiring
Crossover Wiring
Because the 10/100 Mbps port on the power injector uses an MDI pin
configuration, you must use “crossover” cable for network connections to PCs,
servers or other end nodes that only have MDI ports. However, if the device to
which you are connecting supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can
useeither “straight-through” or “crossover” cable.

8-Pin DIN to RJ-45 Cable Wiring
To construct an extended Ethernet cable to connect from the power injector’s
RJ-45 Output port to the MP-620’s 8-pin DIN connector, follow the wiring
diagram below. Use Category 5 or better UTP or STP cable, maximum length 100
m (328 ft), and be sure to connect all four wire pairs.
