Trilliant Incorporated page 3 of 26 SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide INTRODUCTION The SecureMesh™ Extender Bridge combines the functionality of a SecureMesh Wide Area Network (WAN) relay node and a SecureMesh Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) access point to create an integrated product. Each SecureMesh Extender Bridge employs a 5 GHz SecureMesh WAN radio with an array of 8 directional antennas to interoperate as an element of the SecureMesh WAN and a 2.4 GHz SecureMesh NAN radio with an omnidirectional dipole antenna to act as an access point for SecureMesh NAN devices. The Extender Bridge uses the same enclosure as an Extender to house the WAN antenna array, the WAN Extender circuitry, and optional 802.11b/g 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi access point circuitry as well as the NAN Collector circuitry. Extender Functionality The Extender Bridge’s 5 GHz SecureMesh WAN radio uses its array of eight, beam-switched, directional antennas to provide extended range and full 360° coverage and acts as a relay node within the SecureMesh WAN network. The Extender Bridge offers an Ethernet port for WAN client devices, allowing a single client device or, by using an external IP router or Ethernet switch, many client devices to connect to the WAN. If deployed using a SecureMesh Power Service Unit (PSU), the Ethernet port for WAN client devices is made available through the PSU’s port. Collector Functionality The Extender Bridge provides the functionality of a 2.4 GHz SecureMesh NAN Collector, supporting SecureMesh electric meters, gas meters, load control switches, and other SecureMesh NAN devices to create a wireless mesh subnetwork of the SecureMesh Neighborhood Area Network. The Extender Bridge establishes time synchronization and coordinates overall operation of the NAN subnetwork defined by its associated nodes and then routes NAN traffic to/from the UnitySuite Head-End Software via the SecureMesh WAN.

The Extender Bridge’s default IP address for Extender functionality is 192.168.0.2; the default IP address for Collector functionality is 192.168.0.3. A power supply, typically one of the power supplies listed as an Extender Bridge accessory. A CAT5e, Ethernet cable for connecting the Extender Bridge’s Surge Protector to a 24V PoE power supply and the site’s Ethernet network Required Outdoor Equipment The following equipment is required to support field installation of the Extender Bridge: A power supply, typically one of the power supplies listed as an Extender Bridge accessory. For all outdoor installations, the PSU-1024-33 SecureMesh Power Service Unit is recommended unless an Uninterruptible Power Supply is available. A CAT5e, UV-protected, Shielded-Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cable with ground wire for connecting the Extender Bridge’s Surge Protector to the PoE power supply. One of the accessory mounting brackets listed above or a similar mounting bracket providing a vertical pole with a 1.25‖ to 2‖ diameter that is a minimum of 18‖ from any structure to the side of the Extender Bridge. The vertical pole must extend a minimum of 5‖ above the horizontal surface of the bracket. A 10 AWG (or larger) ground wire of sufficient length to connect the Extender Bridge to the primary grounding point of the utility structure to which the Extender Bridge will be mounted. A magnetic level to ensure the Extender Bridge is plumb. Self-fusing rubber insulation and sealing tape such as Scotch® 130C or 2228 Rubber Mastic Tape Installation Location In general, a SecureMesh Extender Bridge should be installed in a location that will not obstruct the radio signals to and from the SecureMesh Extender Bridge. The SecureMesh Extender Bridge should be installed in a location that meets all of the following guidelines: Installation and wiring of the SecureMesh Extender Bridge must conform to all local electrical codes and ordinances. The installation location must be either owned by the utility or the utility must have access rights to the location. The installation location must be able to provide adequate power. Note that the 24V Power Service Unit requires 90-265 VAC 50/60 Hz power. Trilliant Incorporated page 8 of 26 SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide The Extender Bridge enclosure must be mounted at least 18 feet (5.5 meters) above ground level, although radio performance and coverage will generally improve as the mounting height is increased. The installation location must not obstruct radio communications. For example: — The mounting structure should not block radio coverage or be adjacent to structures that block radio coverage). — The installation location must be clear of thick trees or brush growth upon installation and in the foreseeable future. Foliage in the line of sight with other communicating devices can detrimentally affect radio performance. — The Extender Bridge should have an unobstructed view of the sky overhead. The Extender Bridge relies upon GPS (Global Positioning System) signals to establish time synchronization, and the strongest GPS signals are available if the device has an unobstructed view of the sky. Upon startup, the Extender Bridge searches for a GPS signal. If the device cannot detect a signal, it will be unable to complete startup and will not establish wireless connections with other SecureMesh WAN devices. As necessary, adequate space must be available to use a bucket truck. The installation location must not impede normal maintenance activities (for example, access to the Extender Bridge’s associated Power Service Unit to replace the battery). If choosing a streetlight pole installation, make sure the streetlight is providing constant power. Pre-Provisioning In general, each Extender Bridge is shipped from the factory with most utility-specific configuration items already written into non-volatile memory. However, certain information must still be configured prior to installation. Provide power to the Extender Bridge, and then configure parameters associated with both Extender and Collector functionality. Extender Parameters To configure the Extender Bridge’s Extender parameters, connect the Extender Bridge to an Ethernet network, establish a Telnet session to IP address 192.168.0.2 to access the Extender Bridge’s Extender functionality, and invoke the command line interpreter. Please refer to the ―SecureMesh™ WAN Command-Line Interface‖ (Trilliant document number DP-0985) for complete information. The following Extender parameter must be configured: Shared network key (“netkey”) — the shared network key is used by a SecureMesh WAN node to prove (via an authentication handshake) that the node belongs to a particular network or operator; i.e., the shared network key is used to authenticate the SecureMesh WAN node to the SecureMesh WAN and, reciprocally, authenticate the SecureMesh WAN to the SecureMesh WAN node. The netkey is a string of 6 to 64 ASCII letters, numbers, or symbols. If IPsec VPNs are being used (and Trilliant strongly recommends their use), the following Extender parameter must also be configured: VPN credentials — the VPN shared secret allows a SecureMesh WAN management tunnel to be established to the VPN router (note that in automatic provisioning mode, node configuration is provided Trilliant Incorporated page 9 of 26 SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide in a secure manner over the IPsec VPN tunnel, requiring the VPN credentials in order to establish the tunnel and thus necessitating that they be configured before deployment). Because a SecureMesh WAN node’s IP address may be dynamic (for instance, a node may connect to different IP subnets through different SecureMesh WAN Gateways), a VPN router will be unable to differentiate between different VPN clients, and the SecureMesh WAN nodes in a network must all employ the same VPN shared secret. The VPN shared secret is any ACSII string up to 64 bytes in length, using any combination of letters, numbers, or symbols. As an option, Trilliant recommends that the following Extender parameters be configured in order to speed up the time required for an Extender Bridge to discover other SecureMesh WAN nodes and become part of the network: primary frequency – the primary frequency should be configured to be the same center frequency value as configured for the Gateway to which the Extender Bridge is expected to connect. Specify the primary frequency in MHz as a four digit number (e.g. 5745). allowed frequencies – the allowed frequencies defines the various frequencies which the Extender Bridge will ―hunt‖ for other SecureMesh WAN nodes and Gateways. The range of frequencies should be configured to the range that will be used by other SecureMesh WAN nodes in this specific deployment. The range may be specified as ―all‖ or a group of specific frequencies. When specifying a group, enter each value separately as a 4 digit number (MHz), evenly divisible by 5. Collector Parameters To configure the Extender Bridge’s Collector parameters, connect the Extender Bridge to an Ethernet network, invoke the TstBench software, and establish connectivity with IP address 192.168.0.3 to access the Extender Bridge’s Collector functionality. The parameters listed below are in Table ND05 74: SSH VPN Configuration. The following Collector parameter must be configured to enable IPsec VPN: VPN credentials — the shared secret allowing a SecureMesh NAN data tunnel to be established to the VPN router (note that in automatic provisioning mode, node configuration is provided in a secure manner over the IPsec VPN tunnel, requiring the VPN credentials in order to establish the tunnel and thus necessitating that they be configured before deployment)..The VPN shared secret is an ASCII string up to 64 bytes in length. The following Collector parameters may be configured to provide additional security: Secure SHell security — Secure SHell (SSH) is used to authenticate users and encrypt messages between the Command-Line Interface (CLI) of the Extender Bridge’s Collector the user’s computer. The SSH username and password insure that only authorized personnel can access the CLI. Both the username and password are ASCII strings up to 32 bytes in length. Trilliant Incorporated page 10 of 26 SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide INSTALLING THE EXTENDER BRIDGE Physically installing the SecureMesh Extender Bridge involves: Mounting the device Grounding and protecting the device Attaching the antenna Connecting to a source of power Completing the installation Installation of the Extender Bridge on either a utility pole or streetlight is discussed in the following subsections. Trilliant Incorporated page 11 of 26 SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Utility Pole Installation To install an Extender Bridge on a utility pole, observe the following procedures: Mounting the Device Mount the Bracket The DK-0029A vertical pole mounting bracket has an extension arm and a mounting pole as shown on the right. Mount the equipment extension arm to the utility pole using bolts or bands. Attach a steel mounting pole through the end of the extension arm using the 5/8‖ attached bolt on the bottom of the pole mount. Firmly tighten. mounting pole equipment extension arm utility pole Attach The Extender Bridge to the Bracket Use the provided mounting bracket and appropriate length ¼―diameter screws that are provided in the accessory kit to attach the SecureMesh Extender Bridge to the mounting pole (see the figure on the right). Note that screws 1" in length can accommodate a pole diameter up to 1½" while screws 2" in length accommodate a pole diameter of 2-1/8‖. The screws should be tightened to 20 foot-pounds (27 Newton-meters) of torque. Trilliant Incorporated page 12 of 26 SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Grounding and Protecting the Device The surge protector box should be attached to the bottom of the Extender Bridge. The surge protector will be attached using the ground screw as a pivot point then the box will be swung into place against a mounting bracket screw. Remove the ground screw from the base of the device, and then loosen (but do not remove) the screw on the same side of the bracket as the ground screw Run the ground screw through the lug of the green ground wire coming from the surge protector and the hole in the surge protector bracket. Before tightening the ground screw, remove a section of the insulation on the ground wire which will attach to the ground point on the mounting structure and wrap this section around the ground screw. ground screw ground wire to mounting structure Pivot the box into place such that the other end of the surge protector’s mounting bracket touches the loosened screw. Tighten both screws. Be sure to connect the ground wire to the grounding point on the mounting structure. Run the CAT5e cable under the gasket and plug it into the Ethernet port in the cavity on the device base (see the diagram to the right) ground wire CAT5e Ethernet Cable 8P8C Ethernet Port 8P8C serial port View of underside with cover plate removed Trilliant Incorporated page 13 of 26 SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Attaching the NAN Antenna Attach the 2.4 GHz NAN antenna to the N-type female connector as shown in to the right. There are two Ntype connectors at the base of the Extender Bridge: one N-type connector is open (exposed), and the other is capped. Use the open connector. Hand tighten or, equivalently, tighten the antenna using a torque-limiting tool tighten it to 14 inch-pounds (1.5 Newton-meters), where 14 inch-pounds is approximately the torque a person can achieve using one hand. Use self-fusing rubber insulation and sealing tape to wrap the antenna bulkhead connector and the antenna to avoid water penetration of any kind. Trilliant Incorporated page 14 of 26 SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Connecting the Device to a Source of Power The Power Service Unit can be used to provide PoE power and battery backup for the Extender Bridge. Please refer to the Power Service Unit Installation Guide for more information (Trilliant document PL-0042A, Installation Guide, SecureMesh 24V PSU). Alternatively, the site may have its own Uninterruptible Power System that can be used along with a PoE injector to provide 24V power and data over an Ethernet cable; terminating in an 8P8C connector as per TIA/EIA-568-B. Connect the Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector to the Surge Protector Both power and data are provided over the Ethernet cable connection to the Extender Bridge. Always use CAT5e (outdoor CAT5) cable that is shielded (Shielded Twisted Pair – STP), UV protected, with a drain-wire. The Extender Bridge has an auto-sensing Ethernet port and therefore, either a straight through or a cross-connect cable may be used. The cable seal gasket (glands) is water-tight and will not allow terminated cables to be passed through. The cable will have to be re-terminated. Therefore, it may be best to perform the termination on the ground before beginning the installation. A sufficient portion of the cable shielding must be available to be connected to the ground bolt. Run an un-terminated CAT5e cable through the open glands on the surge protector. Strip the protective coating from the outside of the CAT5e cable to a sufficient length that the shield of the cable may be connected to the ground lug of the surge protector and the twisted pairs may be connected to the RJ45 or the connector block. Connect the cable shield (drain wire) to the internal ground lug. Either terminate the cable from the PoE using an RJ45 connector or terminate all eight cables to the terminator block. The screw down terminator block is removable from the base board of the surge protector to ease connections. Please note that the pin-outs of the RJ45 are standard TIA/EIA-568-B.

For the surge protection circuitry built into the SecureMesh equipment to be effective, proper grounding of the unit is necessary. Protection is essential if the unit is installed on tall structures or in areas subject to lightning. Note that the techniques described in this appendix are intended as general guidelines and do not constitute a comprehensive guide covering all installation scenarios. For maximum protection, contact a qualified installation specialist who is familiar with your operating environments. If lightning is a threat in your area, consider a consultation with a lightning and transient protection specialist. General Grounding Strategy To ensure optimal reliability, properly ground the metal base of the SecureMesh device. The most efficient way to ground the device is to use a 10 AWG or larger wire to connect it to a ground point on the structure or tower. The three most common grounding points are: The primary grounding point or the down lead provided by an existing grounding system at the installation site. For example, the grounding system may be provided by a building's AC electrical system, a streetlight’s power system, or as part of a tower structure. A 10-foot or longer copper-clad ground rod driven into the earth. At a tower with multiple legs, there will typically be one ground rod per leg and a ground wire loop connecting each of the rods as shown in the accompanying picture. A cold-water pipe. Make sure it is well connected to earth. Trilliant Incorporated conventional tower grounding down lead tied to tower grounding system tower grounding at each leg wired together underground page 23 of 26 SecureMesh TM Extender Bridge Installation Guide Making Robust and Lasting Connections Regardless of the grounding point you use, make sure the connections are capable of retaining low resistance and integrity over time and with exposure to the elements by use of an antioxidant compound. For protection against corrosion and rust, wrap all connections with a product such as Scotch® 130C or 2228 Rubber Mastic Tape. Grounding Checklist When grounding a SecureMesh WAN device, use the following checklist to confirm that your installation is adequately protected from power surges and lightning. Install all lightning and surge protection devices in accordance with UL 96A installation requirements for lightning protection systems and the NFPA 780 standard for lightning protection. Connect a ground wire from the SecureMesh WAN device to a ground system on the utility pole, tower, or building. When using outdoor Ethernet cable, use UV protected, Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) CAT5e cabling that includes a drain wire. The drain wire and cable shield should be connected to the appropriate ground location on the SecureMesh WAN device; typically the ground lug inside the surge protector or the ground point on the outside of the device. Leave the other end of the drain wire at the power source unconnected. Use the proper size down lead to connect the SecureMesh WAN device on a roof or tower to the ground system. drain wire Whenever possible, verify that all points of the ground system are tied together with less than 5 ohms resistance between any two points. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cable with grounding drain wire twisted pairs cable shield cable jacket For Towers and Rooftops Use the proper size down lead to connect the SecureMesh WAN device on a roof or tower to the ground system. Run the CAT5e cable inside the tower structure, tying the cable to the tower leg at every 4 feet of length. For increased protection, run the CAT5e cable through metallic conduit installed on the tower.
