Antennas
Figure 7 shows the antennas for the UMTS Band I Radio Node. These antennas have a
thread-on reverse-polarity TNC connector.
Figure 7 Antennas Rotate 90 Degrees
Vertically-polarized, omindirectional antennas are provided. They radiate power in a plane
normal to their length—horizontal radiation from vertically-oriented antennas.
The physical location of the SCRN in a building is not critical because the SCRN operates over
a licensed band. However, coverage area is very important. Place the SCRN units at strategic
points for best coverage.
Tip
To maximize antenna transmission, SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc. recommends
that you should not install the SCRN underneath or inside a metallic
enclosure.

Installation and Mount Bracket Assembly
The SCRN has a pedestal base that slides into a long “U” shaped bracket for ceiling or wall
mounting. SpiderCloud pre bolts the pedestal base onto the extrusion plate on the SCRN.
However you must attach the pedestal base to the mount bracket as shown in the following
diagram:

Installation Procedure
Follow these steps to install the SCRN:
Step 1 Choose a location for the SCRN. The unit can be installed in a wide range of
locations including walls, ceilings, and plenum spaces. Follow the installation
guidelines for choosing appropriate mounting locations for the unit.
–Locate SCRN units at least 5 meters from an external wall. This distance
maximizes indoor coverage and minimizes RF leakage outside the building.
–SCRN Separation. Use the following table to determine the maximum distance
between SCRN units. Using distances greater than this may affect coverage or
system performance.

Step 2 Screw 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, or whatever material you are bolting to:

Step 3 Attach the antennas to the TNC connectors on the SCRN. If the SCRN is
mounted on the ceiling, flip the antennas pointing downward. If mounted on the
wall, flip the antennas pointing upward:
Step 4 Slide the pedestal base of the SCRN into the groove opening in the mount
bracket. When the pedestal reaches the bottom of the trough, a spring clip will
snap the unit into place:

Step 5 Physically secure the SCRN. Locate the bar between the two “U” shaped
brackets. Clamp a padlock or cable tie wrap through the two cutout holes and
across the bar:
Step 6 Attach a powered Ethernet cable. The SCRN receives its power source over
powered Ethernet. If your wiring closet does not have existing PoE+ equipment,
SpiderCloud provides a PoE+ power injector for the SCRN. See “PoE+” on
page 15.

PoE+
The SCRN is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3at Power Over Ethernet (PoE+) specification.
The SCRN gets its power from a standard PoE+ switch (typical) or injector.
Per 802.3at, standard CAT-5/5e or better twisted-pair cable with a maximum length restriction
of 100 meters (328 feet) should be used for PoE+. This restriction minimizes power loss
between the PoE+ power source and the SCRN.
SpiderCloud provides an optional single-port PoE+ injector in the accessory kit. Use this
injector only when a PoE+ Ethernet switch is not available.
Figure 9 PoE+ Injector
To install the injector:
Step 1 Attach the injector’s 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 SCRN. The
injector will now inject power onto a pair of wire pairs in the cable. The SCRN
will expect a nominal 48V DC input (57V max) from the PoE+ injector. The
Phihong PoE+ power injector supplies 57V maximum typically.
Note
The SCRN can accept power on used or un-used pairs. Power distribution is
over two pairs of the four available pairs in Cat 5.

Boot Sequence and SCSN Communication
16
Boot Sequence and SCSN Communication
On initial boot, the SCRN performs the following boot sequence and communicates with the
SCSN. This sequence takes about 1 minute to complete. When completed, all devices are
reachable:
Figure 10 SCRN Boot Sequence
Sequence description:
1. When the SCRN is powered on, the device sends a DHCP Request to the network
DHCP server to get IP information.
2. The DHCP server is configured to use vendor option 43. The server responds with the
IP addresses of the SCRN and the SCSN (the master of the SCRN).
The following example shows a sample configuration from a DHCP server:
option space SPIDERCLOUD;
option SPIDERCLOUD.access-controller code 102 = string;
option SPIDERCLOUD.access-controller "10.1.30.99;";

3. Using its own IP address, the SCRN sends a Join Request message to the SCSN.
The SCRN seeks to join the cellular network.
4. The Join Response from the SCSN will be one of the following:
—Join Grant: Permit the SCRN to join the SCSN.
—Redirect: Redirect the SCRN to join a different SCSN, if you have multiple
SCSN units configured in the network.
—Denied: The security signature on the SCRN does not match what the SCSN
expects. The client is untrusted and treated as a rogue device.
5. The arrival sequence begins. Based on the configuration of the SCRN, the SCRN will
join the system and get its configuration. The SCSN sends the SpiderCloud software
image (the system image and configuration settings) to the SCRN.
6. The SCRN reboots and mounts the SpiderCloud software image as a RAM-based file
system.
7. The SCRN contacts the SCSN and joins the network.
