T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 11 Planning the T811-CM Installation 2 Before installing the T811-CM, plan the T811-CM installation. In this chapter: • T811-CM Omni Antenna Coverage • Powering Options • Performing a Site Survey
T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 12 Planning the T8110-CM Installation Cable Strand T811-CM Omni Antenna Coverage T811-CM Omni Antenna Coverage The T811-CM includes internal 5GHz and 2.4GHz omnidirectional antennas, and is equipped with a DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem. The T811-CMs are best deployed where internal-antenna lateral beamforming can provide the greatest reach and throughput to a wide coverage area, and provide the greatest distance between APs in a connecting device. See Figure 3 for internal-antenna coverage patterns, and see Figure 4 for a typical mesh coverage pattern between a T811-CM root AP and a 7782 non-root AP. Figure 3.

T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 13 Planning the T811-CM Installation Powering Options Powering Options The T811-CM supports AC power over cable (POC). 60 to 90 VAC POC is used when the T811-CM is powered via an F-type coaxial cable connected to the HFC cable plant. Performing a Site Survey Perform a site survey to determine the optimal T811-CM placement for maximum range, coverage, and network performance. Ruckus Wireless Support can supply site survey best practices information. The location and orientation that you choose for the T811-CM play a critical role in the performance of your wireless network. In general, Ruckus Wireless recommends installing the T811-CM away from obstructions and sources of interference and ensuring that the AP’s best coverage zone is pointing in the general direction of its wireless clients or associated bridge units as described in T811-CM Omni Antenna Coverage. When performing a site survey, consider the following factors: • Data rates: Range is generally inversely proportional to data rates. The maximum radio range is achieved at the lowest workable data rate. Higher data rates are generally achieved at closer distances. • Antenna type and placement: Proper antenna configuration is a critical factor in maximizing radio range. As a general rule, radio range is increased by mounting the radio higher off of the ground with the AP oriented so that the dome is tilted down. (For recommended orientation examples, refer to T811-CM Omni Antenna Coverage.) • Physical environment: Clear or open areas provide better radio range than crowded or filled areas. The less cluttered the operating environment, the greater the wireless range. • Obstructions, building materials, and sources of interference: Physical obstructions, such as concrete pillars, steel beams, buildings and trees, can block or hinder wireless communication. Avoid installing the T811-CM in an environment where there is an obstruction between sending and receiving devices. A number of machines and electronic devices that emit radio waves – cranes, wireless phones, microwave ovens, and satellite dishes – interfere with and block wireless signals. Building materials used in construction also influence radio signal penetration. For example, drywall construction permits greater range than concrete blocks. • Mounting: The T811-CM is designed to clamp onto a 1/4” to 3/8” (6.35mm to 10mm) support wire. The hangers allow a 2” bundle of cables between the support wire and the T811-CM. • Power and backhaul connections: The T811-CM needs a backhaul connection to the CMTS and it needs to be close enough to an AC power injector on the CATV cable to assure that it is able to pull 60-90VAC. If not, then another power injector must be installed closer to the T811-CM. If SFP backhaul is used, POC will still be used for delivering power over the cable, even if the data is transmitted over the SFP fiber cable. When you are finished planning the installation, continue with Installing the T811-CM. Positioning the GPS Antenna The T811-CM AP includes an internal GPS antenna. If the AP is to be used with the optional GPS feature enabled, then the GPS antenna must be mounted outdoors and have as clear a view of the sky as possible (as close as possible to 360 degrees, and with no obstructing trees or buildings). The GPS antenna must not be installed where it can be covered with
T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 14 Planning the T811-CM Installation Powering Options snow buildup to avoid attenuating the GPS signal. These requirements must be met to ensure that the GPS module can obtain lock and provide accurate GPS time and position. If the GPS antenna has less than a clear 360-degree view of the sky, then the GPS module may experience degraded performance. Fig. 5 T811-CM mounting GPS considerations

T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 22 Installing the T811-CM Dimensions LED Startup Sequence (CM Backhaul) The startup sequence from factory default state to operational state is as follows: 1. At power on, the Power LED is red, then blinking green during bootup. 2. CM DS LED blinks while finding CM downstream link, then solid once complete. 3. CM US LED blinks while finding CM upstream link, then solid once complete. 4. Online LED blinks while getting new config from CMTS, and solid once configuration is complete. 5. Power LED is solid green once an IP address is received. 6. Once the AP is approved on the controller, the DIR LED starts blinking, indicating firmware downloading. Note: If the AP was preconfigured at the factory and does not need a firmware upgrade, this step is skipped. 7. Once firmware upgrade is complete, the AP reboots and the Power LED turns red, then blinking green, then solid green once reboot is complete. 8. AIR, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz LEDs are the same as other Ruckus APs: Amber when SSID is up, green when clients connected to the radio. The AIR LED indicates Mesh AP upstream connectivity; therefore it will not generally be lit on a cable modem AP, whose backhaul should be the cable modem rather than a mesh link.

T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 23 Installing the T811-CM Deploying the T811-CM Deploying the T811-CM In this section, you will mount the T811-CM in its final mounting location. Perform the following: • Mounting the T811-CM • Earth Grounding the T811-CM • Installing the Cable Power Tap • Powering the T811-CM with POC • Checking the T811-CM Signal Level with an RF Power Meter (Optional) • Configuring the T811-CM for the First Time (Optional) Mounting the T811-CM To mount the T811-CM assembly on a cable strand, you need to secure the cable clamps that are attached to the strand interface to the cable strand. 1 Slightly loosen the nuts that fasten the two cable clamps to the strand interface, enough for the strand support cable to fit into the cable clamps. 2 Place the cable clamps on the strand support cable. 3 Tighten the two cable clamp nuts to 22 to 27N.m (16 to 20 ft-lbs) to secure the mounting. You have mounted the T811-CM. Continue with Earth Grounding the T811-CM.
T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 24 Installing the T811-CM Deploying the T811-CM Earth Grounding the T811-CM The cable strand is usually earth-grounded, and mounting the T811-CM on the cable strand earth grounds the T811-CM chassis as well; if this is the case, skip this procedure and continue with Installing the Cable Power Tap. CAUTION! Be sure that earth grounding is available and that it meets local and national electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use lightning rods and lightning arrestors. If the cable strand is not earth-grounded, then continue with the following: 1 The color coding of ground wires varies by region. Before completing this step, check your local wiring standards for guidance. 2 Using the factory-supplied ground screw and washers, use the factory-supplied earth ground wire with ring terminal to connect a good earth ground to the T811-CM using the chassis ground screw shown in Figure 5. CAUTION! The T811-CM includes one 12mm stainless steel M6x1 earth ground screw with split lock and flat washers. Make sure that any replacement screw is no longer than 12mm. If a screw is longer than 12mm, it can damage the T811-CM chassis. You have earth-grounded the T811-CM. Continue with Installing the Cable Power Tap.
T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 25 Installing the T811-CM Deploying the T811-CM Installing the Cable Power Tap The CATV coaxial cable used in the field deployment must have 60 to 90 VAC power multiplexed with the RF signal on the coaxial cable, since the T811-CM Connector B is used for both electrical power and the RF signal. Ruckus Wireless recommends installing a cable power tap (Antronix MGT2000-SDPE tap, or equivalent) close to the T811-CM. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions to mount the cable power tap on the coaxial cable. Figure 7 shows a typical cable power tap and connection to the CM using an RG6 quad shield cable. Table 4 describes the elements in Figure 7. NOTE If the F connector on the T811-CM is damaged, then refer to Appendix C: Replacing the F Connector Adapter. 1 Use a customer-supplied cable, connect any port on the cable power tap to the F connector on the T811-CM. 2 Using a wrench, tighten the cable F connectors to 3.4N.m or 30in-lbs. Figure 7. Cable Power Tap Connection to the T811-CM Cable Modem Table 4. Typical cable power tap connections No. Description 1 • Line amplifier/high output node. 2 • Typical cable power tap.

T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 26 Installing the T811-CM Deploying the T811-CM Powering the T811-CM with POC 60 to 90 VAC POC is used when the T811-CM is mounted on a cable strand and powered via an F-type coaxial cable connected to the HFC cable plant. 1 Remove the power jumper from the power tap to remove AC power out of the power tap. 2 Insert the F-type coaxial cable that is connected to the HFC cable plant to the F-type connector on the T811-CM. Power is supplied through a power passing tap on the CATV coax. The tap is connected to F-type connector on the T811-CM as shown in Figure 5. 3 Finger tighten the coaxial cable connector and then tighten to 3.4N.m (30in-lbs). 4 Plug the power jumper back into the power tap to restore AC power out of the power tap. 5 When the T811-CM receives power, its LEDs flash on and off as it goes through a power-on self test and then receives its AP and CM configurations from the cable operator. NOTE Normally, the T811-CM receives its AP and CM configurations from the cable operator. This means that the installer does not need to manually configure either the AP or the CM part of the T811-CM. 6 Wait until the T811-CM PWR, CM DS, CM US, and ONLINE LEDs stop flashing and then remain on. You have verified that the T811-CM is powered. Continue with Checking the T811-CM Signal Level with an RF Power Meter (Optional).
T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 27 Installing the T811-CM Deploying the T811-CM Checking the T811-CM Signal Level with an RF Power Meter (Optional) The CMAP cable modem is just like a standard DOCSIS 3.1 modem installed at home. Connect an RF power meter to the cable from the cable power tap to measure the downstream power coming from the cable. The power level should be between +15dBmV and -15dBmV.
T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 28 Installing the T811-CM Deploying the T811-CM Configuring the T811-CM for the First Time (Optional) NOTE The T811-CM normally receives its latest AP and CM firmware downloads and initial configurations from the cable modem termination system high speed data services (CMTS) equipment when it powers up; if this is the case, then skip this section and continue with Re-Installing an Access Plug or Hardline Adapter. (***XXX*** add SFP use case) If the T811-CM AP and CM do not receive their latest firmware downloads and initial configurations from the CMTS equipment when the T811-CM powers up, then continue with this procedure: • Preparing the Administrative Computer • Operating the CM Preparing the Administrative Computer Use an administrative computer to configure basic operational parameters for the T811-CM access point and cable modem parts. NOTE The following procedure is applicable if the administrative computer is running Windows 7. Procedures for other operating systems are similar. 1 Collect required equipment and information: • An administrative computer (notebook computer) with an Ethernet port and a wireless card installed. • A Web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox (or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer installed on the administrative computer. • A Telnet or SSH (secure shell) client program installed on the administrative computer. 2 On your Windows computer, open the Network Connections (or Network and Dial-up Connections) control panel according to how the Start menu is set up: • On Windows 7, click Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings. 3 When the Network Connections window appears, right-click the icon for Local Area Connection, and then click Properties. NOTE Make sure that you configure the Local Area Connection properties, not the Wireless Network Connection properties. 4 When the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box appears, select Internet Protocol (TCP/ IP) or TCP/IPv4 in Windows 7 from the scrolling list, and then click Properties. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box appears. 5 Write down all of the currently active network settings. You will need this information later when you restore your computer to its current network configuration.
T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 29 Installing the T811-CM Deploying the T811-CM 6 Select IP address automatically, and then configure the IP address settings with the values listed in Table 6. For a sample configuration, refer to Figure 8. Table 6. Configure your computer’s IP address settings IP address 192.168.100.22. (Avoid 192.168.100.1, which is the default IP address assigned to the CM, and 192.168.100.2, which is the default IP address assigned to the AP.) Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Note 1: The administrative computer needs to be able to connect with 192.168.100.2, the IP address for the AP.

T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 37 Operating and Troubleshooting the T811-CM How Radio Frequency Scanning Works How Radio Frequency Scanning Works The following steps describe how a DOCSIS-compliant T811-CM performs radio frequency scanning: 1 Looks at the last “known good channel” (repeat this every 64 channel checks). 2 Checks the sixteen last known frequencies (repeat this every 32 channel checks). 3 Scans STD standard channels (where the center of the channel is an integer spaced by 6MHz), first [from 93MHz to 999MHz - 152 channels]). 4 Scans the harmonically related carrier (HRC) channels, which moves the channels 1.25MHz off the standard frequencies so the video carriers are all related by 6MHz [from 91.75 to 997.5MHz- -152 channels]. A complete frequency scan requires approximately 469 channel checks. Since each channel takes about 0.6 seconds, a full scan is done every 281 seconds (a little under 5 minutes). NOTE The scanning of generic DOCSIS channels is required the first time the T811-CM connects to an MSO. After the initial scan, the T811-CM is able to retrieve the local country frequency plan without a complete scan during its normal operation.

T811-CM AP Installation Guide, 800-71436-001 Rev A 37 What to Do Next 5 The following are some of the post-installation tasks that Ruckus Wireless recommends. Refer to the Ruckus Wireless Outdoor Access Point User Guide for more information on configuring and managing the AP. Changing the Administrative Password Management access to the Web interface of the AP is controlled through administrative user name and password. As soon as you complete the AP setup, make sure you log on to the AP’s Web interface and change the default administrative user name and password. This will help prevent unauthorized users from logging in to the AP’s Web interface and changing the AP settings to compromise your network. Configuring the Security Settings Unlike wired networks, anyone with a compatible wireless adapter can receive wireless data transmissions from your network. To prevent unauthorized users from entering your wireless network and accessing your computers and files, Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends enabling and configuring wireless security on the AP. The AP supports several types of encryption and authenti- cation methods to help prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network. Configuring Advanced Settings and Features The AP has been configured for basic operation. However, the Ruckus Wireless AP supports many advanced settings and features. Refer to the Ruckus Wireless Outdoor Access Point User Guide for instructions on how to configure the advanced setting and feature parameters.
