Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 19CHAPTER 3 Site survey3.1 Site survey stepsNOTE: The Site Survey information is provided for use by the InternetService Provider and is carried out by the ISP prior to installation. It is notnecessary for the purposes of the actual hardware installation.The goals of a site survey are to determine the feasibility of RF links ateach site and to determine the antenna and cable requirements.1. Determine the feasibility of RF links to other sites.If the site has good links to other sites, it can be used as a forwardingsystem for other wireless routers in the network. If the router can link toone other router, it will be able to access the internet, but it will be unableto forward signals to other wireless routers.Determine the RF path between the antenna at the site and the antennas atother, adjacent sites. For a directional link with a single antenna, there isonly one RF path. For an omnidirectional antenna, determine all RFpaths. The RF path can be determined by knowing the relative bearingfrom the current site to adjacent sites.
20 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation GuideThe feasibility of an RF link can be estimated based on:•Distances between potential sites•Line of sight for RF paths•Antenna RF gains•Cable and connector losses2. Survey all obstructions to potential sitesWherever possible, use an omnidirectional antenna. This ensuresmaximum connectivity and allows the system to forward “packets” ofinformation for existing and future needs.If the router requires a single link to another router, use a directionalantenna.(See also Section 3.1.1 Line of sight, below)3. Select the antenna type to be usedThe wireless router is supplied with an omnidirectional antenna, but onrare occasions a directional antenna may need to be used, depending onarea and topography.(See also Section 3.1.2 Antenna selection, below)
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 21Site survey steps3.1.1 Line of sight analysis3.1.1.1 IntroductionIn order for the Nokia Wireless Router network to operate correctly, theremust be line of sight paths for each link.Determine that there is a visual line of sight and a radio line of sightbetween the router to be installed and its neighboring routers.It is recommended that each router has a line of sight to at least 2otherrouters to enable several options to route internet traffic to the airhead.Line of Sight and Fresnel Zone - IllustrationVisual line of sightVisual line of sight exists when an imaginary straight line can be drawnbetween two antennas without passing through any physical obstructions.Verifying visual line of sight is the first step in planning the NokiaWireless Router System installation. Observation points must be highenough to allow the viewer to see over ground based obstructions.
22 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation GuideRadio line of sightA radio wave is not like a laser with a narrow, pointed beam. RF wavesfan out from a single source and are diffracted or absorbed by objects thatare near the visual line of sight. This area is called the Fresnel Zone. Clearradio line of sight exists when there are no physical obstructions in theFresnel Zone. It is therefore essential that there is a clear radio path byraising the antenna as high as possible and away from objects near theradio path.NOTE: An example of the Fresnel Zone dimensions is, for a one quartermile link, the Fresnel Zone is approximately 71/2feet above and belowthe line of site. Therefore the height of the antenna must clear the FresnelZone. For very short distances, wooden structures and non metallicobjects have little effect on the RF signal. For long distance paths, thereshould be no obstacles close to the RF path.3.1.1.2 To determine line of sight1. Access the rooftop using a safe ladder, either tied or held by anothersurveyor.2. Scan the other rooftops in the location. Ensure line of sight ensuringthat other routers can be seen from the selected vantage point.NOTE: The router being installed may be the first in the area. If this is thecase, ensure that the other rooftops in the area can be seen from theselected vantage point.3. If it is not possible to see other routers/ rooftops, it may be necessaryto install the router on an adjoining tall structure, or to install a mast.3.1.2 Antenna selection3.1.2.1 GeneralIn most installations, it is not necessary to be concerned about antennaselection. The Nokia Wireless Router is supplied with an omnidirectionalantenna which is good for most installations.
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 23Site survey stepsFor very specific cases, it may be necessary to use a directional antenna.The following explanations describe the two types of antenna and thespecial circumstances in which the directional antenna may be used.3.1.2.2 Omnidirectional antennasOmnidirectional Antennas radiate their RF pattern spherically, providingcoverage in all directions. These are best suited for multipoint links andare used at all forwarding sites.Omnidirectional antennas are the preferred solution to most installations.Omnidirectional Antenna - RF Radiation Pattern3.1.2.3 Directional antennasDirectional Antennas focus the RF beam in narrow patterns in onedirection and provide communication over greater distances thanomnidirectional antennas, but they are limited in the areas they cover.NOTE: Directional antennas are useful for long distance or point-to-pointcontacts, but prevent future growth of the network, by preventing thewireless router from repeating signals to other units. They should be usedonly when where an omnidirectional antenna will not work.Top ViewSide View
24 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation GuideDirectional antennas - radiation pattern side viewIn Nokia Wireless Router Networks, use a directional antenna only if:•There are numerous obstructions in the area•The nearest router is a considerable distance away•The router is in a location where it does not need to route traffic forother subscribers and itself requires a maximum link distance to theneighboring router.3.1.2.4 Notes on antenna polarizationPolarization refers to the direction of antenna element alignment. Forantennas to properly communicate with each other, all antenna must bealigned (polarized) in the same direction.• Omnidirectional antennaThis vertically polarized antenna can only be mounted vertically.• Directional antenna•Polarization is identified by an arrow on the rear panel•Radiates from the front side and away from the mounting bracket•Can be vertically or horizontally polarizedIf you have a combination of vertical omnidirectional antennas anddirectional antennas, the directional antennas must be polarized vertically.
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 25CHAPTER 4 Planning the installation4.1 Main installation stepsThe complete wireless router installation consists of five basic steps:1. The Nokia roofTop Wireless Router2. The Multiwire connection (between the router and the Network/Power Unit)3. The Network/ Power Unit4. The grounding (where required)5. The indoor connections between the Network/Power Unit and thecomputer(s) in the property.NOTE: Digital picture of components to be inserted here
26 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation GuideWhen planning the installation the following needs to be considered:•The hardware and tools required to complete the installation.•Wireless router installation location.•Multiwire routing between the router and the NPU.•The power source location for the NPU.•The routing path for the ethernet cabling.•Antenna grounding and lightning arrestor requirements.A full list of tools required for installation is available in Appendix D4.1.1 To find a location for the routerWhen planning the location of the router the highest point on the roofshould be used to ensure a clear line of site. Existing structures likechimneys, pipes, tv antenna poles etc should be used for mounting therouter. Only if there is no suitable mounting point, should a mounting polebe used.Height of the antenna is often limited to physical limitations of the site.For example, an antenna mast can be placed on a rooftop or installed onan existing structure or tower. Avoid using a mast if at all possible, but besure that the antenna clears the roof line.It is acceptable to use the TV antenna pole already installed. If the TVantenna is used, be sure to loosen the antenna mounting, slide the TVantenna down the pole leaving sufficient room to mount the router at thetop of the pole.
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 27Main installation steps4.1.2 To plan the Network/Power Unit locationThe Network/ Power Unit can only be physically located by beingplugged into an AC outlet. When locating the AC outlet for the Network/Power Unit consider:•The location of the customers PC - the Network/ Power Supplyshould be located as close to the PC as possible•The route of the multiwire cabling•The proximity of a telephone connection point (where applicable forHomePNA)4.1.3 To plan the cable routing•Take into account the customers wishes for cable routing•Avoid pipes, downspouts and possible areas which may abrade thecabling.For further details see Chapter 6, Routing the cable into the property.4.1.4 To plan the groundingTest the existing grounding system at the property.

Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 13CHAPTER 2 Safety issues2.1 IntroductionIt is important, when installing the Nokia Wireless Router, that the unit is not installed where it could be either damaged by its environment, or pose a hazard for the user. In this respect, when installing the unit be aware of the following Hazard Warnings and Regulatory Safety Requirements
14 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide2.2 Hazard warnings•Environment - Do not place the Network Power Unit (NPU) in a very cold, dusty, wet or high humidity environment. The unit should be situated away from all heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, amplifiers and other heat producing appliances. • Fire or electric shock - Do not expose the NPU to any type of moisture, including rain. Do not use or install near water-related environments such as sinks, bathtubs, laundry areas, spas, swimming pools, or in wet basements. Take care not to spill any liquids on the unit. •Use extreme caution when installing antennas in areas with overhead power lines. Outdoor antennas and their supporting masts, guy wires, and cables are electrical conductors. Contact with high-voltage electrical wires can cause serious injury or death.•Because antennas and wireless routers are elevated metal objects with connections to ground, they attract lightning. Attach a grounding wire to the antenna and router to provide a safe path to ground for lightning. •Do not install the router near medical equipment or in a hospital or medical environment without ensuring that there will be no interference with such equipment.•Persons with pacemakers should not go close to the router on the roof. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place with a pacemaker, switch off the router immediately.
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 15Regulatory safety requirements2.3 Regulatory safety requirements•RF exposure - When the Network/Power Unit is plugged in, do not go closer than 7 inches (17 cm) of the antenna on the roof
16 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 17CHAPTER 3 Planning the installation3.1 Main installation stepsThe complete wireless router installation consists of five basic steps:1. The Nokia roofTop Wireless Router2. The Multiwire connection (between the router and the Network/Power Unit)3. The Network/ Power Unit4. The grounding (where required)5. The indoor connections between the Network/Power Unit and the computer(s) in the property.
18 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation GuideWhen planning the installation the following needs to be considered:•The hardware and tools required to complete the installation.•Wireless router installation location.•Multiwire routing between the router and the NPU.•The power source location for the NPU.•The routing path for the ethernet cabling.•Antenna grounding and lightning arrestor requirements.3.1.1 To find a location for the routerWhen planning the location of the router the highest point on the roof should be used to ensure a clear line of sight. Existing structures like chimneys, pipes, tv antenna poles etc. should be used for mounting the router. Only if there is no suitable mounting point, should a mounting pole be used.Height of the antenna is often limited to physical limitations of the site. For example, an antenna mast can be placed on a rooftop or installed on an existing structure or tower. Avoid using a mast if at all possible, but be sure that the antenna clears the roof line. It is acceptable to use the TV antenna pole already installed. If the TV antenna is used, be sure to loosen the antenna mounting, slide the TV antenna down the pole leaving sufficient room to mount the router at the top of the pole.
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 19Main installation steps3.1.2 To plan the Network/Power Unit locationThe Network/ Power Unit can only be physically located by being plugged into an AC outlet. When locating the AC outlet for the Network/Power Unit consider:•The route of the multiwire cabling•The proximity of a telephone connection point (where applicable for HomePNA) or routing of the Ethernet cable3.1.3 To plan the cable routing•Avoid pipes, downspouts and possible areas which may abrade the cabling.For further details see Chapter 6, Routing the cable into the property.3.1.4 To plan the groundingTest the existing grounding system at the property. Where the existing grounding is not acceptable, consider:•Route of the grounding cable from the router, avoiding other pipes, down spouts etc•Location for the grounding rod

22 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide4.2 To install the router1. Mount the wireless router bracket to the mounting point, ensuring that the bracket is fixed securely. Router bracket fixed to mast
Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide 23To install the router2. Attach the antenna by screwing it into the top of the wireless router. Carefully guide the antenna down onto the RF pin to prevent the pin being bent out of shape. Ensure secure connection, but do not overtighten.Attach the omni-directional antenna
24 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide3. Connect the multiwire connection to the D-Connector in the bottom of the wireless router. Tighten the two screws on the connector and slide the rubber sleeve over the connections to prevent the ingress of water. Attach multiwire connection and Ground wireNOTE: Take care when tightening the D-Connector to the router. It iseasy to damage the router casing if the screws are overtightened.4. Using cable ties and/ or adhesive tape, secure the multiwire connection and ground wire (where used) to the mast. Take care to avoid placing strain on the connectors when securing the cables to the mast. Use ties/ tape about every two feet down the length of the mast. Always cover the cable ties with electrical tape to prevent excess pressure on the D-connector should the cable tie fail.5. Attach mounting bracket to back of router. Ensure that the bolt fits correctly and is not cross threaded. There is no need to tighten the bolt, play is required to attach the router to the mast mounting bracket.

Make sure that the router is mounted perfectly vertical on the mount, using a level as necessary, and tighten the bolt in the back of the router. Be careful not to overtighten the bolt. Overtightening of the bolt will strip the thread in the back of the aluminum casting of the wireless router.Slide the router mount onto the mast bracket
28 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide4.2.1 To prepare and install groundingNOTE: Grounding is only installed where the existing grounding systemis not sufficient for router grounding purposes.Because antennas are elevated metal objects with connections to ground, they attract lightning.Attaching an effective ground to the router provides a path for the lightning.1. Connect the grounding box connector marked “Surge” towards the antenna and the connector marked “Protected” to the Network/ Power Unit (NPU) end of the cabling.2. Protect the connections as previously described, using weatherproofing tape.3. Locate the lightning arrestor close to the point of entry to the home.4. Provide a good, very low resistance wire connection from the wireless router to the ground.5. Use #12 copper wire connected to the router grounding clamp and a ground rod next to the building.
