Chapter 4 - Mounting
This section describes how to physically mount the smartBridges’ TOTAL series of products
on the site. The chapter contains the following sections:
• Important Considerations when Choosing the Mounting Location
1. Link Distance
2. Signal Path Clearance (Fresnel Zone)
• Mounting the TOTAL Unit
1. Tower or Pole Mounting
2. Wall Mounting
• Changing Antenna Polarization
Important Considerations when Choosing the Mounting
Location
Each Radio Frequency (RF) application is a unique installation. A site survey is needed
to determine the optimum use of the TOTAL unit to optimize link distance, coverage, and
network performance. The most important considerations are link length and clearance from
obstacles.
The following operating and environmental conditions should be taken into account when
performing a site survey:
• Data rates - Sensitivity and range are inversely proportional to data bit rates. The
data rate increases with a decrease in link distance and/or decrease in receiver
sensitivity.
• Antenna placement - Proper antenna conguration is critical in maximizing radio
range in maximizing radio range. In general, greater heights allow for longer
distances and the avoidance of obstructions. However, do not install the TOTAL
unit at the extreme top of a tower, radio mast or high building to minimize risk of
being directly struck by lightning. It is advisable to install it at least 2 feet below
such heights. Extra height may also increase potential interference from other
unlicensed radio systems.
Note:
Do not install the unit in the proximity of a TV or Radio receiving mast.
16
unwiring our world™
• Physical environment - Clear, open areas provide better radio range than
enclosed, crowded areas. Physical obstructions such as buildings, trees, or hills
can hinder performance of wireless devices. Avoid locating the TOTAL unit
where there is an obstruction between the sending and receiving antennas.
1. Link Distance
If there is no obstacle in the signal path, the maximum link distance depends primarily on the
type of antenna and the free space path loss. Ensure that your proposed mounting site is
within range of the remote antenna. To help estimate the range, the TOTAL unit has a built-in
Link Budget Calculator under Tools in the Web GUI which is accessible upon logging into
the unit. Please refer to the product User Guide for more information on this tool.
2. Signal Path Clearance (Fresnel Zone)
A radio beam travels from one antenna to another in a straight line. Therefore, the path
between the antennas must be free of major obstacles. The effects of obstacles and terrain,
both along and near the path, have a signicant bearing on the propagation of radio signals
and can cause both interference and signal cancellation.
When choosing a site, consider the effects of the following common obstacles:
• Trees and large plants - A tree directly in the signal path can completely block the
signal. You can avoid this by leaving sufcient clearance above the treetops.
You may need to leave extra clearance above smaller tress to allow for future
growth into the signal path.
• Man-made obstacles - A large round building such as a gas storage
reservoir or water tower that is partially in the path may cause some blocking.
These obstacles may also reect RF, which can lead to multi path interference
with other receivers. Objects in or near the path that have rectangular surfaces
can block and diffract signals over and around them.
• Earth surface - The earth’s curvature may also interfere with the signal if the
antenna is mounted too low. Mount the antenna just high enough to allow
adequate clearance from the ground.
Note:
For tower installations, you may need to climb the tower to verify a
clear signal path to the other antenna.

Table 4-1 (below) is a guide to determine the amount of clearance to leave around the signal
path. Install the bridge or external antenna where obstacles along the propagation path,
including the ground, are no closer than these values.

Note:
Before proceeding to mount the units in the outdoor location, it is strongly
recommended that they be congured and tested on the bench rst to ensure
that they operate satisfactorily. Please refer to the product User Guide for
conguration information.

Mounting the Equipment
The TOTAL unit is shipped with mounting hardware that accommodates tower, mast or
rooftop installations. This section describes the mounting process for each installation. The
unit must be professionally installed. The installer must understand wireless techniques,
antenna alignment, adjustment and grounding techniques.
The TOTAL unit is designed for a quick and simple out-of-the-box installation. Remove the
unit from the shipping box and locate the mounting plate with the M14 HEX bolt and nut.
1. Tower or Pole Mounting
Figure 4-1 Tower or Pole Mounting
To mount the unit on a tower or pole, follow the steps below:
1. Find a suitable mounting location on the tower and hoist the entire assembly to
the selected location.
2. Position the assembly as shown in Figure 4-1 and attach the mounting plate to
the tower or pole using the 4 supplied M8x75 mm SS bolts, which t 0.5 to 2.0
inch poles. Use the two sets of washers between the bracket and the nut/bolt
head (see Figure 4-1).

Changing the Antenna Polarization
Some interference problems can be solved by changing the antenna polarization (for TOTAL
backhauls and client devices only). To change the polarization from horizontal to vertical or
vice versa, loosen the M14 HEX nut and rotate the unit by 90 degrees while ensuring that
the LED display panel remains on the lower side. Refer to the Antenna Polarization label
located on the back of the unit when changing polarization.
Figure 4-3 Antenna Polarization Label
The airPoint Nexus PRO TOTAL access point is available with either a vertical or horizontal
polarization (sB3212V or sB3212H) and cannot be rotated to achieve the other polarization.
The airPoint Nexus TOTAL 241 (sB3213V) and airPoint Nexus TOTAL 551 (sB3214V)
access points are available with only the vertical polarization.
The polarization is indicated by the Antenna Polarization Labels (vertical or horizontal)
as shown below and the arrow indicates which direction is up. Ensure that the device is
mounted the correct way up in order to maintain the weatherproong.

21
Chapter 5 - Antenna Alignment
This section covers the antenna alignment process to achieve the best radio link performance.
The goal when positioning the unit is to align the antenna for maximum signal strength. In
addition, TOTAL radio units incorporate RSSI Audio Tone to simplify the antenna alignment
process. The RSSI Audio tone is convenient to use and adequate for most installations.
A built-in speaker is provided to monitor the RSSI Audio tone. The TOTAL radios can be
aligned to any angle with in a +/- 30 degree span for a given polarization.
Note:
This chapter is not applicable for the TOTAL access points and airClient
TOTAL (sB3415) as they do not have the RSSI Audio Tone feature.
Establishing Association
On short links where the remote radio is visible, point the unit in the approximate direction
and use the site survey tool to nd the radio at the far end and establish a more precise
association. The integrated antenna is located on the front side of the enclosure.
For longer links where there is no visibility, use the GPS coordinates of the unit at the far
end and calculate its compass direction from the near unit. Point the unit along that precise
direction.
Once the association is established, you can align the antenna using RSSI Audio Tone from
the built-in speaker on the unit. The RSSI Audio produces a tone ranging from 523 Hz (low
pitch) to 2093 Hz (high pitch) that is proportional to the received signal level. The RSSI
Audio Tone provides instantaneous feedback as you move the unit with built-in antenna
within the enclosure.
22
unwiring our world™
Aligning the Antenna Using RSSI Audio Tone
Figure 5-1 Aligning the Unit
To position the antenna using the RSSI Audio tone, follow these steps:
1. Slowly pan the unit to the left and right of the signal path and monitor
the RSSI Audio Tone for peaks in signal strength. Be sure to swing the unit
in an arc of 30 degrees to each side or in a hemispherical cut, while keeping
the desired polarization to ensure that the signal passes through the main and
side lobes of the antenna.
2. Return the unit to the position where the signal is strongest, or in the case of two
similar peaks, halfway between them.
3. Secure the unit by tightening the M14 HEX nut.
After installing and mounting the unit and antennas, please refer to the relevant product

Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic
energy. The level of energy emitted by wireless LAN devices is far less compared to
wireless devices like mobile phones. Because wireless LAN products operate within the
guidelines and recommendations found in radio frequency safety standards, it is understood
that wireless LAN is safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations
reect the consensus of the scientic community and result from the deliberations of panels
and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research
literature.
