Chapter 3 Installation
This chapter describes how to install the OM2P. It also describes the OM2P LEDs.
Only experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety
codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities
should install the OM2P.
3.1 Pre-installation Guidelines
Select the optimal locations for the equipment using the following guidelines:
- T he OM2P should be mounted on a 1"-4" pole. Its location should enable easy access to the unit
and its connectors for installation and testing.
- The higher the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable link quality.
- The antenna should be installed to provide a direct, or near line of sight with the Base Station
antenna. The antenna should be aligned to face the general direction of the Base Station.
3.2 Installing the OM2P
To install the OM2P, use the following procedure to mount the device on a pole and refer to the
figure below.
1. The bottom of the OM2P is a movable cover. Grab the cover and pull it back hard to
remove the cover.
2. Insert a standard Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port labeled MAIN LAN.
3. Slide the cover back to seal the bottom of the OM2P.
4. Remove the power cord and PoE injector from the box and plug the power cord into the
DC port of the PoE injector.
Only use the power adapter supplied with the OM2P. Using a different power adapter
might damage the OM2P.
5. Plug the other side of the Ethernet cable in step 3 into the PoE port of the PoE injector.
When you finish step 5, the installation will resemble the following picture.
6. Turn over the OM2P. Then insert the mast strap through the middle hole of the OM2P.
Use a screwdriver to unlock the pole-mounting ring putting it through the OM2P.
7. Mount the EOA200 securely to the pole by locking the strap tightly.
This completes the installation procedure.
