SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.10 Figure 5 Ethernet PortThe radio node for use with external antennas has two antenna ports with TNC connectors labeled A and B. Connector A transmits and receives. Connector B is receive only. Figure 6 Antenna Port TNC ConnectorsThe Top-Panel LEDThe radio node has one top-panel tricolor LED to indicate power and status. This is the only LED visible under normal operating conditions. Figure 7 Radio Node Tricolor LEDWhen the radio node initially boots the LED cycles through a number of colors and flashing behaviors until it is fully operational. Refer to Radio Node LED Boot Sequence on page 20 for more information about the LED boot cycle and Radio Node LED Management on page 21 for information about LED management.Input PowerThe radio node receives its power from a standard PoE+ switch (typical) or injector. The radio node is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3at Power Over Ethernet (PoE+) specification. SpiderCloud Wireless recommends PoE+ powering to support future products and functionalities operating at higher power levels.EthernetPortLink ActivityABLED
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation GuideSpiderCloud Wireless, Inc. 11Per IEEE 802.3at, use standard Cat 5e or better twisted-pair cable with a maximum length restriction of 100 meters (328 feet) for PoE+. This restriction minimizes power loss between the PoE+ power source and the radio node. Figure 8 shows the valid radio node cabling/powering options:Figure 8 Valid Radio Node Cabling/Powering OptionsThe illustration below shows a generic single-port PoE+ injector. Use this injector only when a PoE+ Ethernet switch is not available. Figure 9 Typical PoE+ InjectorTo connect the PoE+ injector to a radio nodeStep 1 Attach the injector power cord to a power source.Step 2 Connect an unpowered Ethernet cable from a switch to the IN port on the injector. Power is distributed over two pairs of the four available pairs in Cat 5e cables. The radio node can accept power on either used or un-used pairs.NoteSCSN-8000PoE SwitchOutIn SCSN-8000PoE Switch orPoE InjectorPoE InjectorNon PoE SwitchOUT INCONNECT PoEPLUS ON
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.12Step 3 Connect an Ethernet cable from the injector’s OUT port to the radio node. The injector will now inject power onto a pair of wire pairs in the cable. The radio node will expect a nominal 48V DC input (57V max) from a typical PoE+ injector.Select the Radio Node LocationRadio nodes can be installed in a wide range of locations including walls, ceilings, and plenum spaces. Follow the installation guidelines for selecting appropriate mounting locations for the unit. When mounting a radio node vertically, align the bottom-side fins vertically for superior cooling. Figure 10 Radio Node LocationsWhen possible, locate radio node units at least 5 meters (16 feet) from an external wall. This distance maximizes indoor coverage and minimizes RF leakage outside the building. When mounting near a wall or other obstruction, orient the mounting bracket such that the transmit antenna faces towards the coverage area and faces away from the wall. Refer to Bracket Mounting and Cabling Guidelines on page 14 for more information.Dead / Non-CirculatingAirspaceLiving / Working Space of a TypicalCommercial BuildingDrop CeilingWallForced-Air SupplyForced-Air ReturnXX
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation GuideSpiderCloud Wireless, Inc. 13Use Table 2 to determine the maximum distance between radio node units. Greater separation may affect coverage or system performance. Installation and Mount Bracket AssemblyThe radio node has a pedestal base that slides into a long bracket for ceiling or wall mounting. SpiderCloud Wireless pre-bolts the pedestal base onto the extrusion plate on the radio node. However you must attach the pedestal base to the mount bracket as shown in Figure 11: Figure 11 Pedestal Base Slides into Mount BracketTable 2: Recommended Radio Node Separation DistancesType of Building Max Recommended SeparationWarehouses and large open-spaced buildings 70 m (230 feet)Open-plan offices 45 m (148 feet)Closed-plan offices (e.g., individual rooms - plasterboard) 30 m (98 feet)Closed-plan offices (e.g., individual rooms - stone/brick/concrete) 20 m (66 feet)Mount BracketPedestal Base
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.14Bracket Mounting and Cabling GuidelinesIncorrectly cabling and mounting a radio node can result in crushed cables and loss of communications to the unit. Follow these guidelines in cabling the radio node and mounting it on the bracket:• Ensure that the cabling is properly routed and dressed. • Ensure that the pedestal base is fully inserted into the mount bracket so that it locks into place and is flush. A correctly installed cable should at no time during installation impede inserting the pedestal base into the mount bracket. • Secure the pedestal base to the mount bracket with a padlock or tie wrap to provide physical security.• When mounting the radio node vertically, orient the bracket with the open end on top and the closed end on the bottom. Figure 12 on page 14 shows the proper vertical orientation.• When mounting the radio node near a wall or other obstruction, orient the bracket such that the radio node transmit side towards the coverage area. In vertical mountings, this is on the right side of the radio node. Figure 12 on page 14 shows the mounting bracket orientation: Installing the Radio NodeThe radio node receives its power source over powered Ethernet. If your wiring closet does not have existing PoE+ equipment, SpiderCloud Wireless recommends a PoE+ power injector for the radio node. See section Input Power on page 10.The Ethernet cable can route openly or directly through a surface such as a wall or ceiling:• Refer to Installing the Radio Node (Method 1) on page 14 for open cable routing installation.• Refer to Installing the Radio Node (Method 2) on page 16 for direct cable routing installation.Installing the Radio Node (Method 1)To route the cable openly and mount the radio nodeStep 1 With two user-provided screws, attach the mount bracket assembly to a wall or ceiling. The screw holes are sized for an M4 (#10) screw. Ensure the screws have a snug fit onto the studs, sheetrock, anchor, or other material you are bolting onto.
