Trapeze Networks
A Campus Connectivity MP (MP-632) can be installed in a variety of locations, both indoors and
outdoors. If the location is set to indoors, then a limited number of available channels are displayed
for configuration. If the location is set to outdoors, only the regulatory allowed outdoor channels
appropriate for the country and domain can be configured on the MP. The default operational mode of
the MP is outdoor.
Indoor locations may include, but are not limited, to the following types:
❑Locales that require a robust MP for harsh operating environments such as low or high
temperatures.
❑Warehouse environments
❑Indoor stadiums or arenas
❑Auditoriums or very large classrooms
Outdoor locations may include, but are not limited to these following types:
❑Racetracks
❑Outdoor stadiums
❑Construction sites
❑Outdoor campus areas
MP-632
The MP-632 is a 802.11a/b/g/n AP that is designed for pole-mounting and wall mounting. The MP-632
supports 6 antenna ports, three for the 11a/n radio and three for the 11b/g/n radio. An MX cannot be
used to power this AP. An XPS-6201-OUT or XPS-6202-OUT power supply that uses the IP67
multi-pin DIN connector is required. The MP-632 supports a new set of external antennas that are
commercially available. The MP-632 does not support internal antennas or PoE.

Installing and Connecting an MP
Installation Requirements and Recommendations
For best results, follow these requirements and recommendations before installing a MP-632.
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 MP access points in the WLAN
MX Appliance 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 MPs, you can immediately verify the cable
connection(s) when you plug the cable(s) into the MP.
Weather Conditions
When planning a MP-632 installation, you must take into account any extreme weather conditions
that are known to affect your location. Consider the following factors:
Temperature
Operating an MP in temperatures outside of the supported range may cause the unit to fail. The
MP-632 is tested for an ambient operating temperature range of -40°C to +55°C.
Wind Velocity
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. The
MP-632 can operate in winds up to 90 MPH and survive higher wind speeds up to 125 MPH.
Note:
Before installing an MP, you might need to generate a network plan and an MP
work order with RingMaster. (See RingMaster Network Plan and Work Orders
below.)
Warning!
The MP-632 is designed to receive power only from a Trapeze-provided power
injector.
Campus Connectivity MP Quick Start Guide 7
Trapeze Networks
Lightning
The MP-632 has 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-632 weatherproof enclosure is designed to protect against dust, rain, and water jets.
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, you must plan a cable route from the MP to
the power injector module. Consider these points:
❑The Ethernet cable length should never be longer than 100 m (328 ft) over CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6
cable.
❑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-632 unit, cable, lightning arrestor, and any supporting structures are
properly grounded. Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical
codes. The MP-632 includes two grounding screws and a tubular lug for attaching a crimped ground
wire.
MP Radio Safety Advisories
When you enable the MP radio(s) as part of MX configuration, the radios are able to receive and
transmit radio frequency energy as soon as you connect the MP to the MX, either directly or through
the network.
Campus Connectivity MP Quick Start Guide

Trapeze Networks
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.
!
Caution
FCC Notice:
For indoor operations:
Devices will not permit operations on channels 120-132 for 11a and 11n/a which
overlap the 5600 - 5650 MHz band.
For outdoor operations:
In order to meet new FCC, NTIA, FAA and industry restrictions to resolve
interference to Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) systems used at airports,
any outdoor device installed within 35 km of a TDWR location must be separated by
at least 30 MHz (center-to-center) from TDWR operating frequency (as shown in the
table below). Channels 120-132 and 5600-5650 MHz band are disabled on Trapeze
outdoor products.
Trapeze recommends that all operators and installers register the location
information of the UNII devices operating outdoors in the 5470 – 5725 MHz band
within 35 km of any TDWR location at the WISPA sponsored database
(see http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx). This database may be used by
government agencies in order to expedite resolution of any interference to TDWRs.
Procedures on how to register the devices in the industry-sponsored database with
the appropriate information regarding the location and operation of the device and
installer information can be found on the database.

Aligning Antennas for Bridge or Mesh Links
If you are installing MP-632 units for wireless bridge or Mesh Services operation, after the units have
been mounted, connected, and the radios are operating, the antennas must be accurately aligned to
ensure optimum performance on the bridge or mesh links.
This alignment process is particularly important for long-range point-to-point links. In a
point-to-multipoint configuration, the Mesh Portal AP uses an omnidirectional or sector antenna,
which does not require alignment, but Mesh APs still need to be correctly aligned with the Mesh
Portal antenna.
❑Point-to-Point Configurations – In a point-to-point configuration, the alignment process
requires two people at each end of the link. The use of cell phones or two-way radio communication
may help with coordination. To start, you can just point the antennas at each other, using
binoculars or a compass to set the general direction. For accurate alignment, monitor the RSSI’s
LED indicator as you move the antenna horizontally and vertically.
❑Point-to-Multipoint Configurations – In a point-to-multipoint configuration all Mesh APs must
be aligned with the Mesh Portal antenna. The alignment process is the same as for point-to-point
links, but only the Mesh AP end of the link requires the alignment.
The LEDs are viewed right to left as you look at the back of the MP. The range from 1 to 12 will cover
the signal range to accurately align the antenna. The signal strength LEDs indicate the received
radio signal strength for a particular bridge link. The more LEDs that turn on, the stronger the
signal. (RSSI level 1 should equate to the lowest useful signal). Alternatively, you can monitor the
Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value directly from the management interface. The higher
the RSSI value, the stronger the signal.
When you move the antenna during alignment, the radio signal from the remote antenna can be seen
to have a strong central main lobe and smaller side lobes. The object of the alignment process is to set
the antenna so that it is receiving the strongest signal from the central main lobe.

Figure 1–4. Aligning the MP-632 Antenna According to Signal Strength
When aligning the antennas the MP with the antenna that is being aligned to must be set to send
link-calibration packets. Use the following command to setup the MP that the MP-632 is being
aligned with.
set ap num radio num link-calibration mode {enable | disable}
Link-calibration should be disabled under normal operation of the MP.
If the MP-632 is installed with two directional antennas, connect the first antenna to the primary
antenna port with antenna diversity off and align it. Then disconnect the first antenna and connect
the second antenna to the primary antenna port. If the second antenna is being aligned with a
different MP, disable link-calibration on the original MP and enable it on the new MP. Once both
antennas are properly aligned, connect them to their desired ports.
RSSI Meter Functionality
The MP-632 supports an LED-based RSSI indicator when either radio operates in mesh link
calibration mode. The RSSI reading must be able to support the indication of received signal levels
across a 35dB dynamic range, from a high of -60 dBm to a low of -95 dBm.
The RSSI is indicated by on/off/flashing LED patterns, as shown in the table below. The granularity
varies between 2dBm, 3dBm, and 6dBm.
