▪ 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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
