Step 2 Route the Ethernet cable through the pedestal base cable opening and through the cable
guards. Insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port as shown in Figure 13:
Figure 13 Route and Terminate the Cable
Step 3 Slide the pedestal base of the radio node into the groove opening in the mount bracket.
When the pedestal reaches the end of the trough, a spring clip will secure the unit into
place.

Installing the Radio Node (Method 2)
To route the cable directly and mount the radio node
Step 1 Route the Ethernet cable through the large hole in the mounting bracket.
Figure 15 Mount Bracket with Direct Cable Routing
Step 2 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.
Step 3 Insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port as shown in Figure 16:
Figure 16 Route and Terminate the Cable
Step 4 Push as much cable back through the wall or ceiling as possible. The mount bracket
assembly has room for some cable slack.

Step 5 Slide the pedestal base of the radio node into the groove opening in the mount bracket.
When the pedestal reaches the end of the trough, a spring clip will secure the unit into
place.

Completing the Installation
Step 1 For radio nodes for use with external antennas, attach the antennas to the TNC
connectors. If the radio node is mounted on a horizontal surface, direct the antennas
downward. If it is mounted on a vertical surface, orient the antennas upward.

Step 2 Attach a padlock or cable tie wrap through the cutout lock holes in the mount bracket and
pedestal base.
Figure 19 Padlock and Lock Holes
Step 3 The radio node boots up and attempts to connect to the services node. Refer to Boot
Sequence and Services Node Communication below for more information.
Detaching the Radio Node from the Mount Bracket
To remove the radio node from the bracket assembly
Step 1 If needed, remove the padlock or cable tie wrap securing the radio node.
Step 2 Depress the spring clip on the pedestal base and slide the radio node out of the mount
bracket.
Step 3 Detach the RJ-45 clip from the Ethernet port and remove the cable from cable brackets
and cable opening.
The lock in the above figure is shown schematically. The orientation is for illustration
purposes (not accurate) since the bracket is typically wall or ceiling mounted.

Boot Sequence and Services Node Communication
On initial boot, the radio node performs the following boot sequence and communicates with the services
node. This sequence takes about one minute to complete. When completed, all devices are reachable:
Figure 20 Radio Node Boot Sequence
Sequence description:
1. When the radio node is powered on, the device sends a DHCP Request to the services node
DHCP server to get IP information. The DHCP server is configured on the services node by default
to respond only to DHCP requests from SpiderCloud Wireless radio nodes. Refer to the
SpiderCloud OS (SCOS) Administrator Guide for more information about the services node
DHCP server configuration.
2. The server responds with the IP addresses of the radio node and the services node (the master of
the radio node).
3. Using its own IP address, the radio node sends a Join Request message to the services node. The
radio node seeks to join the cellular network.
4. The services node responds with a Join Response message indicating whether the radio node is
allowed to join the network or not.
5. The arrival sequence begins. Based on the configuration of the radio node, the radio node will join
the system and get its configuration. The services node sends the SpiderCloud software image
(the system image and configuration settings) to the radio node.
6. The radio node reboots and mounts the SpiderCloud software image as a RAM-based file system.
7. The radio node contacts the services node and joins the network.

Radio Node LED Boot Sequence
The radio node state machine is sequential and progresses in the following order:
State 0 -> State 1 -> State 2 -> State 3 -> State 4 -> State 5
A normal boot sequence transitions through all these states sequentially and the LED state transitions
accordingly. If the radio node fails to transition to the next state, the system restarts the boot sequence,
starting with State 0. You can determine the progress during the booting stages by observing the LED color
transitions. On failure, the last LED state will display the state that encountered the failure.
Table 3 shows the radio node boot sequence and corresponding LED behavior:
Table 3: Radio Node LED Boot Sequence
State LED Color Description Possible Failures and Actions
0. Power On/
Reset
Green
Flashing
This is the initial state on startup.
The radio node bootup is controlled
by firmware in this state.
It will go through a lamp test in this
state. A lamp test involves cycling
through all LED colors.
This state should be very short lived
and should transition to the next state
immediately.
A radio node should not stay in this
state indefinitely.
Note: Flashing Green is also used to
indicate a radio node that has been
administratively disabled. This can be
determined from the CLI.
1. DHCP Red
Solid
The radio node starts by sending out
a DHCP Request.
The radio node moves to the next
state (State 2) upon receiving a
DHCP response and an IP Address.
No DHCP Response, IP Address not
allocated.
Check cabling, DHCP Server
configuration.
2. Join Blue
Solid
The radio node has an IP Address
and sends a UDP Join request to
the Serving services node.
The radio node moves to the next
state (State 3) upon getting a JOIN
GRANT from the services node.
No IP reachability to the services
node.
Check IP network between radio node
and services node for routing issues.
3. TFTP Blue
Flashing
The radio node proceeds next to
download the operating system
image from the services node.
The radio node moves to the next
state (State 4) after the image has
been downloaded.
Failure to download TFTP image.
Check firewall between radio node
and services node.

Radio Node LED Management
The LED display is active by default, but can be deactivated in light-sensitive environments as needed.
Even when the display is disabled, the LED will be lighted during the following conditions:
• while the radio node is booting
• if the radio node or cell is in fault state
• if there is an active emergency call
• if the locate radio node feature is active
• if the follow IMSI feature is active
Table 4 shows the expected LED behavior of the radio node once it has booted and joined the network.
The LED also supports advanced troubleshooting functions when the system is operational.
* Refer to the SpiderCloud OS (SCOS) Administrator Guide for information about the locate radio node
and follow IMSI features.
4. Operating
System
Booting
Green
Flashing
The radio node loads the operating
system and starts the default
platform applications.
The radio node moves to the next
state (State 5) when it establishes
connectivity with the service node.
Failure to start the operating system.
This normally points to a software/
build issue. Please contact
SpiderCloud support.
5. Running Green
Solid
The operating system is running.
The radio node continues the
startup sequence, but is now
controlled by the services node.
The operating system is up and
running on the radio node.
Any subsequent state transitions can
now be tracked from events and logs
on the services node.
Table 4: Radio Node LED Behavior
LED Status Flash Rate
Green: slow flashing Administratively disabled Approximately ½ second on, 1½ sec. off
Green: solid Operational
Red: solid Fault
Red: fast flashing One or more emergency calls active Approximately 1 second on/off cycle
Blue: fast flashing Locate radio node enabled* Approximately 1 second on/off cycle
Blue: solid Follow IMSI enabled*
Off Powered off or LED disabled
