SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-320 Hardware Installation Guide
About this Manual
This 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 Overview
The 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:

Input Power
The 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 Options
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.
Some PoE switches may be factory configured to deliver lower power per port. If this is the
case change the configuration during installation.

The 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+ Injector
To connect the PoE+ injector to a radio node
Step 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.
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.

Figure 10 Radio Node Locations
When possible, locate radio node units at least 6 meters (20 feet) from an external wall. This distance
maximizes indoor coverage and minimizes RF leakage outside the building. Refer to the E-RAN
Deployment Planning Guide for Dual-Mode Systems and E-RAN Deployment Planning Guide for LTE
Systems for more information about radio node placement.
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.
Installation and Mount Bracket Assembly
The radio node slides into one of two brackets for ceiling or wall mounting:
• a quarter-inch (0.64 centimeter) deep for cabling through a surface such as a wall or ceiling
• a 1.25 inch (3.18 centimeters) deep for exposed cabling along a hard surface such as brick or
cinder block
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 radio node 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
radio node into the mount bracket.
• Secure the radio node to the mount bracket with a padlock or tie wrap to provide physical
security.

• When mounting the radio node vertically, orient the bracket such that the bracket keyholes
have the narrow side up as shown in Figure 11.
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 universal mount bracket using holes in
the light grill. Adjust the universal mounting bracket until the bracket and light grill holes align.
•Directly on the wall or ceiling: Use drywall screws to secure the universal mount bracket
directly to sheetrock or plasterboard on the wall or ceiling.
•Mud or plaster ring: Secure the universal 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.
•Existing infrastructure: Secure the universal mount bracket to existing infrastructure as long
as the radio node RF propagation or existing installed equipment is not adversely impacted.
•Non-metal tiles: Use bracing for rear support and mount the radio node in the center of the tile
for even weight distribution. Ensure that the bracing is the same width as the tile.
•Drop ceiling: Contact your SpiderCloud Wireless representative for recommendations of
supported third-party brackets and clamps.
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 directly through a surface such as a wall or ceiling or route the cable openly:
• Refer to Installing the Radio Node (Method 1) on page 16 for direct cable routing installation
through an opening behind the mount bracket using the shorter mount bracket.
• Refer to Installing the Radio Node (Method 2) on page 17 for open cable routing installation
using the taller mount bracket.
