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:

The Top-Panel LED
The radio node has one top-panel tricolor (RGB) LED to indicate power and status. This is the only LED
visible under normal operating conditions. When the radio node initially boots the LED cycles through a
number of colors and flashing behaviors until it is fully operational. Status indications: boot, normal,
disabled, fault, emergency call, radio node tracking.
LED
Figure 6 Radio Node Tricolor LED
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.
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.
Note
When connecting the radio node to a PoE+ switch, ensure that the switch port is statically configured to
deliver minimum 25W of power.
Some PoE switches may be factory configured to deliver lower power per port. If this is the
case change the configuration during installation.

Figure 9 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.

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.

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 6 shows
the radio node boot sequence and corresponding LED behavior:

Description
Possible Failures and Actions
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.

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.
3. TFTP
This state should be very short
lived and should transition to the
next state immediately.
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.
SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.
Check IP network between
radio node and services node
for routing issues.
Failure to download TFTP
image.
Check firewall between radio
node and services node.

from events and logs on the
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 7 shows the default LED behavior of the radio node:
