Note: Terminate the RJ45 connectors (D) to both ends of the CAT5 cable; test for proper wiring (using a straight-through cable). All rights reserved the Connectors. Page 11 ▪ Due to variance in CAT5 cable diameter, termination techniques of the installer, and the application of proper tightness of the connectors, it is strongly recommended that all cable connectors are secured by external weatherproofing. This process will be described in Step 10: Weatherproof ▪ The cable between the power injector and the unit must be a straightthrough Ethernet cable (without crossover). ▪ The cable must feed through all parts of the weatherproof cap before the RJ45 is crimped on the outdoor Ethernet cable. Notes: 6. Thread the lock nut (B) onto the sealing cap (C), and hand tighten. 5. Slide the sealing cap (C) over the bare end of the CAT5 cable. Make sure the red rubber gasket is inside the cap. 3. Apply two wraps of 0.5” wide Teflon tape (not supplied with unit) around the threads of the lock nut (B) that will go inside the sealing cap. Slide the lock nut (B) over the bare end of the CAT5 cable. 2. 4. Slide the sealing nut (A) over the bare end of the CAT5 cable. 1. Use the Cable Termination Kit to assemble the cable. You will be attaching an outdoor-rated 24 AWG CAT5 cable (diameter .114 to .250 inches/2.9 to 6.4 mm) (not provided) to the Power-over-Ethernet port on the back of the unit and weatherproofing the assembly later in the installation procedure. First, you must construct the cable and assemble the weatherproofing cable covers as described in the following steps. Proxim greatly simplifies this assembly process by offering pre-assembled CAT5 cable kits in 25m, 50m, and 75m lengths (part numbers 69819, 69820, and 69821, respectively).

The ScanTool’s Scan List screen appears, as shown in the following example. If prompted, select an adapter and click OK. You can change your adapter setting at any time by clicking the Select Adapter button on the Scan List screen. If your computer has more than one network adapter installed, you will be prompted to select the adapter that you want ScanTool to use before the Scan List appears. You can use either an Ethernet or wireless adaptor. Note: Power up, reboot, or reset the unit. 1. Scan Tool Instructions To access the HTTP interface and configure the Mesh unit, the unit must be assigned an IP address that is valid on its Ethernet network. By default, the Mesh unit is configured to obtain an IP address automatically from a network Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server during boot-up. If your network contains a DHCP server, you can run ScanTool to find out what IP address the Mesh radios have been assigned. If your network does not contain a DHCP server, the IP address for the Mesh radios defaults to 169.254.128.132. In this case, you can use ScanTool to assign the unit a static IP address that is valid on your network. The tool automatically detects the MeshMAX units installed on your network, regardless of IP address, and lets you configure each unit’s IP settings. In addition, you can set initial device parameters that will allow the Mesh radio to retrieve a new software image if a valid software image is not installed. ScanTool is a software utility that is included on the installation CD-ROM. It is an initial configuration tool that allows you to find the IP address of an Access Point by referencing the MAC address in a Scan List, or to assign an IP address if one has not been assigned. Using ScanTool Mesh Initialization UNIT INITIALIZATION Copyright © 2008 Proxim Wireless Follow the instructions displayed on the installer windows. 2. Page 20 Place the installation CD in a CD-ROM drive. The installer normally starts automatically. (If the installation program does not start automatically, click setup.exe on the installation CD). 1. To install the documentation and software on a computer or network: Step 12: Install Documentation and Software Page 13 To wall-mount the unit, mount bracket (E) to the wall using 4 screws (not provided), as shown. 2. All rights reserved To pole-mount, insert the provided screws through bracket F. Fasten around the pole to bracket E and secure (Torque 11 N.m/100 in-lbs). 1. To ensure that water does not gather around the antenna connectors, mount the unit with the antenna connectors facing downward. Caution: IMPORTANT! If the unit is going to be used as part of a Mesh network, you will need to perform initial configuration of the parameters mentioned in the Prerequisites section of this MeshMAX 5054 User Guide before you mount the unit. See the User Guide for more information on configuring these parameters. Step 5: Mount the Unit Connect the free end of the CAT5 cable to the “Data and Power Out” port on the power injector. To connect the unit through a hub or a switch to a PC, connect a straightthrough Ethernet cable between the network interface card in the PC and the hub, and between the hub and the RJ45 “Data In” port on the PoE adapter. 2. 3. Page 14 Copyright © 2008 Proxim Wireless If you are connecting the PC directly to the unit, use a crossover Ethernet cable between the network interface card in the PC and the RJ45 “Data In” port on the power injector. To connect the unit directly to a PC, connect a cross-over Ethernet cable between the network interface card in the PC and the RJ45 “Data In” port on the power injector. Antenna Alignment Display (AAD) provides a measurement of signal quality in an easy-to-interpret manner - a numeric printed signal value at the CLI amd serial ports. The SNR is numerically displayed on the CLI serial port by two decimal charaters representing a number from 00 to 99. On the serial port, AAD is enabled by default after booting. Plug one end of the CAT5 cable (A) into the RJ45 jack of the unit (B). 1. All rights reserved Disables Antenna Alignment Display (Ctrl-C also disables AAD). Set aad disable Page 19 Enables display of the remote SNR (the average of local and remote SNR). Set aad enable average Enables display of the remote SNR (the SNR as measured by the receiver at the far end). Set aad enable remote Enables display of the local SNR (the SNR as measured by the receiver at the far end). Set aad enable local The following CLI commands are used to initiate and stop the antenna alignment process. After the process has been successfully initiated, the CLI displays the current-local/current-remote/average SNR values (in 500 ms intervals) to indicate the link quality. Antenna alignment commands Aiming is complete if moving in any direction results in a falling SNR value. To start the display, you must enable AAD and a wireless link must be established between the BSU and the SU. Step 11: Align the Antenna Step 6: Plug in the Cables Stretch and wrap the tape around the connector tightly, starting below the connector cap and against the unit and wrapping in a clockwise direction. Wrap the tape once around the base of the connector cap (A). Continue to wrap the tape spirally around the connector in a clockwise direction, maintaining a 50% width overlap (B). Continue wrapping the tape spirally upward (C) until the tape extends onto the cable and you have used the entire length of tape. Seal the tape tightly against the connector and the cable (D). 2. Copyright © 2008 Proxim Wireless Repeat the weatherproofing procedure for other connectors as appropriate. 4. Page 18 In the same manner as described in Step 2 above, apply a layer of black electrical tape (not provided) over the rubber-based tape for further protection. Make sure the electrical tape also extends beyond the rubberbased tape to seal it. 3. Be sure to wrap the tape in a clockwise direction; wrapping the tape in a counterclockwise direction may loosen up the connector. Note: Remove the film liner from the rubber-based tape strip, and stretch the tape until it is approximately half of its original width. This activates the self-fusing action of the tape, which will set up over time to create a single, waterproof mass. All rights reserved Page 15 Bootloader will display all events to the serial console, which will guide user to perform the Reload functionality. NOTE: If the Reload button is pressed for 20 seconds and above, then the Subscriber module moves to reload state. If the Reload button is pressed for 10 to 20 sconds and released, then none of the operation is performed and the Reload button is aborted. If the Reload button is pressed for 5 to 10 seconds and then released, then Mesh module moves to the bootloader state. If Reload button is pressed beyond 10 seconds, then the Mesh module’s Reload functionality is ignored. Press the Reload button (on the side of the power injector) to intiate the Reload/Reset functionality. You may have to use the end of a pin or paperclip to press the button. To avoid damaging your router/switch, do not connect the RJ45 port labeled either “Data & Power Out” from the power injector to your router/switch. WARNING! Press the Reload button (on the side of the power injector) for five seconds during power-up remotely resets the Mesh radios to their factory default settings. You will need to use the end of a pin or paperclip to depress the button. Once you have connected the power injector to the Ethernet cabling and plugged the power injector cord into an AC outlet, the unit is powered on. There is no ON/OFF switch on the unit. To remove power, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet or disconnect the RJ45 connector from the “Data and Power Out” port on the power injector. The power injector provides Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), supplying electricity and wired connectivity to the unit over a single 24 AWG CAT5 (diameter .114 to .250 inches/2.9 to 6.4 mm). The unit is not 802.3af-compatible. Always use the supplied power injector to ensure that the unit is powered properly. Note that the Active Ethernet module provides +48 VDC over a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable. After you have fully assembled and tightened the cable, use the provided self-fusing, rubber-based tape strip and electrical tape (not provided; Proxim recommends Scotch™ Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical Tape) to seal the connection, as follows. 1.
