5SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-320 Hardware Installation GuideAbout this ManualThis guide provides the system specifications of the SpiderCloud Wireless® Radio Node 320 (SCRN-320). 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-320 is an LTE-U and LTE-LAA capable small cell that operates in a licensed LTE frequency carrier, aggregated with license-exempt 5GHz spectrum, to deliver higher capacity and enhanced user experience without the need for new network elements or complexity.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. The SCRN-320 builds upon the LTE-Advanced functionalities of the E-RAN system and leverages CA and Self Organizing Networks (SON) capabilities to support LTE-U and LTE-LAA operation.Each SCRN-320 radio node supports a licensed LTE carrier paired with a supplemental downlink 5GHz carrier operating in UNII-1 (5150-5250MHz) or UNII-3 (5725-5850MHz) bands. Both licensed and unlicensed radios support 2x2 MIMO operation enabling higher user capacity and average data rates per radio node coverage footprint. When the unlicensed channel is paired with a 20 MHz licensed LTE channel, each SCRN-320 supports a peak downlink rate of 300 Mbps and a peak uplink rate of 50 Mbps. The SCRN-320 is easy to install and connects to the existing enterprise LAN using standard Ethernet cabling or to a dedicated LAN infrastructure deployed for use by the operator. SCRN-320 radio node are managed by the SpiderCloud SCSN-9000 services node installed in the enterprise or in a centralized location such as a data center. The SCRN-320 has no fans and is convection cooled. Antennas are built-in with an orderable option for SMA connectors for use with external antennas.The SCRN-320 utilizes on-chip Trusted Platform Module (TPM) functions to implement secure boot, and establish certificate-based IPsec tunnel to SpiderCloud services node for all traffic. There is no management or console port on the radio node. The radio node can be physically locked to prevent theft.Figure 1 on page 6 shows the logical architecture of the SCRN-320 in the network: DRAFTSpiderCloud Wireless, Inc. Proprietary and Confidential

SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-320 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+ SwitchDRAFTSpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.
