Trapeze Networks Mobility System
The Trapeze Networks Mobility System is an enterprise-class WLAN solution that seamlessly
integrates with an existing wired enterprise network. The Trapeze system provides secure
connectivity to both wireless and wired users in large environments such as office buildings,
hospitals, and university campuses.
The Trapeze Mobility System fulfills the three fundamental requirements of an enterprise
WLAN: It eliminates the distinction between wired and wireless networks, allows users to work
safely from anywhere (secure mobility), and provides a comprehensive suite of intuitive tools for
planning and managing the network before and after deployment, greatly easing the operational
burden on IT resources.
The Trapeze Networks Mobility System consists of the following components:
❑RingMaster tool suite — A full-featured graphical user interface (GUI) application for
planning, configuring, deploying, and managing a WLAN and users.
❑One or more Mobility Exchange™ (MX™) — Distributed, intelligent appliances for
managing user connectivity, connecting and powering Mobility Point (MP) access points, and
connecting the WLAN to the wired network backbone.
❑Multiple Mobility Point™ (MP™) access points — Wireless access points (APs) that
transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals to and from wireless users and connect them
to an MX.
❑Mobility System Software™ (MSS™) — The operating system that runs all MX switches
and MP access points in a WLAN, and is accessible through a command-line interface (CLI),
the Web View interface, or the RingMaster GUI.

MP Overview
A 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-371
The 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

Cable Ports
The 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.

You can connect an MP access port directly to an MX port or indirectly to MX appliances 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 the ports directly to MX ports or
indirectly to MX appliances through the network.
You can provide MX management redundancy even on a single MP Ethernet port by connecting
the MP indirectly to multiple MX appliances through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.
Note:
Install the Cat 5 cables for the MP at the installation site before installing the MP.
During installation, insert the Cat 5 cable(s) into the MP port(s) before attaching the
MP to the bracket.

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 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 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 WLAN
MX Recommendation
Trapeze 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 Recommendations
If 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 Advisories
When 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 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 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.

Installation Requirements and Recommendations
Installing and Connecting an Indoor MP 2 – 3
Additional 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 constraints
Warning!
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.

Connecting an MP to an External Antenna
Each radio in an Indoor MP 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:
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.
(For the location of the external antenna connectors, see Figure1–2 in Chapter 1.)
2. Attach the other end of the antenna cable to the antenna.
3. If the other ends of the Cat 5 cable(s) are not already connected and the link activated, see
“Connecting an MP to an MX” on page 2–22. Otherwise, go to “Verifying MP Health” on
page2-22.
!
Caution
The external antenna must be installed at least 8 inches (20 cm) from the MP.
!
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 SMA bulkhead
connector on the enclosure.

Connecting an MP to an MX
You can connect an MP directly to an MX or indirectly to the MX through an intermediate Layer 2
or Layer 3 network. If you are connecting the MP directly to an MX, use the following procedure to
insert the cable into the MX and verify the link.
You can use the CLI or RingMaster to configure an MP connection. If you are installing the MP as
a Mesh AP in a WLAN Mesh or wireless bridge configuration, you must configure the MP
connection before deploying the MP in the final location. (See the Trapeze Mobility System
Software Configuration Guide or the Trapeze RingMaster Configuration Guide.)
Figure 2–32 shows how to insert a Cat 5 cable into 10/100 Ethernet port on an MX. Refer to this
figure as you perform the procedure.
Figure 2–32. 10/100 Cat 5 Cable Installation
1. Insert a Cat 5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector as shown in Figure 2–32. For connection
to an MP, use a straight-through cable.
2. When the link is activated, observe the MP LED for the port on the MX:
Verifying MP Health
After you install the MP and enable PoE on the Ethernet cable connected to the MP, you can
easily verify the MP status by observing the LEDs, particularly the health LED. (See Figure1–6
in Chapter 1 “MP Overview.”)
The health or LINK LED indicates if the MP is ready for operation.
❑If the LED is green and glowing steadily, the MP has been booted successfully by the MX and
is ready for operation.
❑If the LED is not steadily glowing green, contact the system administrator for the MX. (For
more information on MP LEDs, see Table1– 2 in Chapter1 “MP Overview.”)
MP Troubleshooting
After you insert a Cat 5 cable into an MP port connector and enable PoE on the cable, observe the
device health or LINK LED to determine the status of the connection with the MX.
❑If the LED is green and is glowing steadily, the MP has been booted successfully by the MX and
is ready for operation.
❑If the LED is not steadily glowing green, see “Status LEDs” on page1-6 of Chapter 1, “MP
Overview.)

MP Technical Specifications
MAC Addresses
Indoor Mobility Point Installation Guide
3 – 4
MAC Addresses
Each MP is assigned a unique block of 64 MAC addresses. Each radio has 32 MAC addresses and
can therefore support up to 32 SSIDs, with one MAC address assigned to each SSID as a BSSID.
The MP MAC address block is listed on a label on the back of the MP. If the MP is already
deployed and running on the network, you can display the MAC address assignments by using the
show ap status command.
All MAC addresses for an MP are assigned based on the base MAC address of the MP, as
described in Table 3– 5.

Table 3– 5. MAC Address Allocations on MPs
MP base MAC Address ❑The MP has a base MAC address. All the other addresses are assigned based on
this address.
Ethernet Port MAC
Addresses
❑Ethernet port 1 equals the MP base MAC address.
❑Ethernet port 2 equals the MP base MAC address + 1.
5Ghz Radio and SSID
MAC Addresses
❑The 5Ghz radio equals the MP base MAC address + 1.
❑The BSSIDs for the SSIDs configured on the 5Ghz radio end in odd numbers. The
first BSSID is equal to the MP’s base MAC address + 1. The next BSSID is equal
to the MP’s base MAC address + 3, and so on.
2.4Ghz Radio and
SSID MAC Addresses
❑The 2.4Ghz radio equals the MP base MAC address.
❑The BSSIDs for the SSIDs configured on the 2.4Ghz radio end in even numbers.
The first BSSID is equal to the MP base MAC address. The next BSSID is equal
to the MP base MAC address + 2, and so on.
