5SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-220 Hardware Installation GuideAbout this ManualThis guide provides the system specifications of the SpiderCloud Wireless® Radio Node 220 (SCRN-220). It includes detailed hardware installation instructions, the boot sequence, and expected LED behavior both during the boot-up and under operating conditions. An appendix shows the radio node antenna patterns. The primary audience for this guide includes network planners, system administrators and installation personnel. It assumes you have knowledge about networking principles, networking configuration, site preparation, powering, and experience in hardware installation and maintenance.Product OverviewThe SCRN-220 is an integrated LTE small cell with support for Rel13 IOT devices. SpiderCloud’s scalable small cell system, called an Enterprise Radio Access Network (E-RAN), hides the complexity of radio management and mobility and provides operators with a single touch point to aggregate and manage a large network of LTE small cells.Each SCRN-220 supports 2x2 MIMO operation on configurable LTE bands, enabling higher user capacity and average data rates per radio node coverage footprint. Each LTE carrier supports 64 active LTE users and up to 128 RRC Connections. When used with 20 MHz channel bandwidth, an LTE carrier supports a peak downlink rate of 150 Mbps and a peak uplink rate of 50 Mbps.The radio node implements SON capability by listening to other radio nodes within the E-RAN and neighboring LTE macro cells in multiple frequency bands, and performing continuous self-optimization to provide high-quality radio coverage and mobility.SpiderCloud radio nodes can be installed on walls or ceilings. Both network connectivity and power are provided over Ethernet. The radio node has no fans and is completely convection cooled. Antennas are built-in for both LTE bands, with an orderable option for QMA connectors for use with external antennas.SCRN-220 utilizes on-chip Trusted Platform Module (TPM) functions to implement secure boot, and establish certificate- based IPsec tunnel to SpiderCloud services node for all LTE traffic. There is no management or console port on the radio node, and the radio node can be physically locked to prevent theft.SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc. Proprietary and Confidential

SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-220 Hardware Installation Guide 10Input PowerThe radio node receives its power from a standard Power Over Ethernet (PoE+) switch (typical) or injector. The radio node is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ specification.Per 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. When connecting the radio node to a PoE+ switch, ensure that the switch port is statically configured to deliver minimum 25W of power. Figure 8 shows the valid radio node cabling/powering options: Figure 8 Valid Radio Node Cabling/Powering OptionsPower is distributed over two pairs of the four available pairs in Cat 5e or better cables. The radio node can accept power on either used or un-used pairs.Some PoE switches may be factory configured to deliver lower power per port. If this is the case change the configuration during installation.NoteNoteServices NodePoE+ SwitchOutIn Services NodePoE+ Switch orPoE+ InjectorPoE+ InjectorNon PoE+ SwitchSpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.

SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-220 Hardware Installation Guide 20Boot Sequence and Services Node CommunicationOn initial boot, the radio node performs the following boot sequence. When finished, all devices are reachable. Figure 17 shows the radio node boot sequence:Figure 17 Radio Node Boot SequenceBoot Sequence: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 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. The services node sends the SpiderCloud software image to the radio node. 6. The radio node boots up the received SpiderCloud software package.7. The radio node establishes an IPsec tunnel with the services node. Based upon the radio configuration, the radio node loads the appropriate protocol elements and joins the network.USB CONSOLELK AT LK AT LK AT LK AT LK AT LK AT LK AT LK AT81234567LNK ACTMGMTPOWER STATUS 1 2SIM 0 SIM 1Radio Node Services NodeDHCP Request for IP AddressDHCP Response (RN, IP, Controller IP)Join RequestJoin Response (Join Grant, Redirect, Denied)Arrival sequence beginsSend SpiderCloud software packageBoot-up, bring up the IPsec tunnel and join the networkSpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.

SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-220 Hardware Installation Guide21Radio Node LED Boot SequenceThe radio node state machine is sequential and progresses in the following order: State 0 -> State 1 -> State 2 -> State 3 -> State 4 -> State 5A 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 6 shows the radio node boot sequence and corresponding LED behavior: Table 6: Radio Node LED Boot Sequence State LED Color Description Possible Failures and Actions0. Power On/Reset Flashing Green 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 Solid Red 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 Solid Blue 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 Flashing Blue 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.SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.
