MP Overview 1 – 111MP OverviewA Trapeze Networks Mobility Point (MP) provides IEEE 802.11 wireless access to the network. MPs are designed for use with a Trapeze Networks Mobility Exchange (MX). MPs require hardware installation only. All configuration for an MP takes place on the MX.This guide describes the indoor MP models:❑MP-432❑MP-422❑MP-372❑MP-371The MP-372 and MP-422 have one 802.11a radio and one 802.11b/g radios. 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.The MP-371 has a single 802.11 a/b/g/n antenna with internal diversity omnidirectional antennas. In addition, the MP-371 has separate connectors for attaching optional external sectorized or directional antennas.The MP-432 has one 802.11 b/g/n radio and one 802.11a/n antenna that are interoperable with the 802.11a/b/g/n radios.   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.Note:The MP radios are disabled by default and can be enabled only by a system administrator using the MX

 MP OverviewExternal Hardware FeaturesMP Overview 1 – 3Figure 1–4.  Indoor MP-432 Model—Bottom View   Cable PortsThe Indoor MPs have two RJ-45 ports. (See Figure 1–2.) Each port provides a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet connection to an MX (with the exception of the MP-432, which has a 10/1000BASE-TX). The connection can be direct to an MX 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 or other device in the network. The Indoor MP supports 802.3af, and also can receive PoE from Trapeze MX appliances and Trapeze-approved power injectors. 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 to an MX. 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:MPs do not support daisy-chain configurations. Do not connect the MP to another MP.Port 1Port 2No external antenna          connectorsLock

 Installing and Connecting an Indoor MPInstallation Requirements and RecommendationsIndoor Mobility Point Installation Guide2 – 2Before you begin installation:1. Open the carton and carefully remove the contents.2. Place the packing materials back in the carton and save the carton.3. Verify that you received each item in the previous list. If any item is missing or damaged, contact Trapeze Networks. Installation Requirements and RecommendationsFor best results, follow these requirements and recommendations before installing an MP.RingMaster Network Plan and Work OrdersIf 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 MPs. A network plan and the MP work orders generated from it provide the following information about MP 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 WLANMX RecommendationTrapeze Networks recommends that you install and configure the MX before installing an MP. If the MX is already installed and configured for the MP, you can immediately verify the cable connection(s) when you plug the cable(s) into the MP .(For information about connecting an MP to an MX port, see “Connecting an MP to an MX” on page 2–22.)Wall Installation RecommendationsIf you plan to install an MP on a partial wall or other vertical surface, orient the top of the MP (the side with the LEDs) toward the intended coverage area. The radio antennas transmit through the top of the MP but not through the bottom, where the bracket is located. 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. MP Radio Safety AdvisoriesWhen you enable the MP radio(s) as part of MX configuration, the radios can receive and transmit radio frequency energy as soon as you connect the MP to the MX, either directly or through the network. Radio Frequency ExposureFederal 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 MPs meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1-1991. Proper installation of the MP according to the instructions in this manual will result in user exposure that is below the FCC recommended limits.Warning!An Indoor MP is designed to receive power only from an 802.3af-compliant source, a Trapeze Networks Mobility Exchange (MX), or a Trapeze-approved power injector. Connecting an MP to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device that is not approved by Trapeze Networks can damage the equipment.
 Installing and Connecting an Indoor MPInstallation Requirements and RecommendationsInstalling and Connecting an Indoor MP 2 – 3Additional Radio Safety Advisories(For translations of warnings, see Trapeze Regulatory Information.)     Cable Requirements  Category 5 cable with straight-through signaling must be installed at the site before you install an MP. A single connection requires one cable. A dual-homed connection requires two cables.Mounting an MP 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.Warning!In the U.S., locate the MP and any externally attached antennas a minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) away from people. This safety warning conforms with FCC radio frequency exposure limits for dipole antennas such as those used in the MP. Warning!Do not operate the MP near unshielded blasting caps or in an otherwise explosive environment unless the device has been modified for such use by qualified personnel. Before using a wireless device in a hazardous location, consult the local codes, national codes, and safety directors of the location for usage constraintsWarning!Do not touch or move the MP when the antennas are transmitting or receiving.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 radio antenna is transmitting.Warning!Do not connect or disconnect cables or otherwise work with the MP hardware during periods of lightning activity. Note:The MP is intended for indoor use only. Do not install the device outdoors, unless you install it with a 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.
