Antennas
The radio node includes four integrated antennas: two UMTS antennas and two LTE antennas. The UMTS
radio operates in 1x2 mode with receive diversity. The LTE radio operates in 2x2 mode with MIMO.
Tip: To maximize antenna transmission, SpiderCloud Wireless recommends not installing the radio node
inside a metallic enclosure.
Ports
The radio node has one 1 Gigabit Ethernet port that supports a Category 5e (Cat 5e) or better twisted-pair
cable with an RJ-45 connector. Figure 4 shows the Ethernet port. There are two LEDs on the connector:
•
Link: Steady green state indicates a normal Layer 2 link connection has been established.
•
Activity: Yellow blinking indicates data activity.

Input Power
The 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.
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.
Power 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.

Step 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 Location
Radio 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 8 Radio Node Locations
When 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 13 for
more information.

SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-310 Hardware Installation Guide
Bracket Mounting and Cabling Guidelines
Incorrectly 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 10 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 10 on page 14 shows the mounting bracket orientation.
Typical Radio Node Mounting Options
Radio nodes can be mounted on a wide number of surfaces including the following typical surfaces:
•
Light grill: Use bolts, nuts, and washers to secure the mount bracket using holes in the light
grill. Adjust the mounting bracket until the bracket and light grill holes align.
•
Directly on the wall or ceiling: Use drywall screws to secure the mount bracket directly to
sheetrock or plasterboard on the wall or ceiling.
•
Mud or plaster ring: Secure the mount bracket directly on the wall or ceiling as above with a
3 1/4 inch (8.25 centimeter) mud or plaster ring between the mount bracket and the mounting
service and run the Ethernet cable through ring’s hole.
•
Strutting: Secure the radio node to heavy hanging equipment strutting using strut clip nuts and
M8 studding.
Installing the Radio Node
The 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 13 for open cable routing installation.
•
Refer to Installing the Radio Node (Method 2) on page 15 for direct cable routing installation.
Installing the Radio Node (Method 1)
To route the cable openly and mount the radio node
Step 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.

Boot Sequence and Services Node Communication
On initial boot, the radio node performs the following boot sequence and communicates with the services
node. It performs this boot sequence twice, first for the UMTS subsystem, then again for the LTE
subsystem. This sequence takes about one minute to complete for each subsystem. When finished, all
devices are reachable. Figure 17 shows the radio node boot sequence:

Figure 17 Radio Node Boot Sequence
UMTS 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 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

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.
The radio node starts by sending out a
DHCP Request.
No DHCP Response, IP
Address not allocated.
The radio node moves to the next state
(State 2) upon receiving a DHCP
response and an IP Address.
Check cabling, DHCP Server
configuration.
The radio node has an IP Address and
sends a UDP Join request to the
Serving services node.
No IP reachability to the
services node.
The radio node moves to the next state
(State 3) upon getting a JOIN GRANT
from the services node.
