WARNING: To
comply with FCC
regulations, antennas
must be professionally
installed and the install-
er is responsible for en-
suring compliance with
FCC limits.
2.2.2 Connections for Deployment
The section provides instructions for connecting the ES210 for
deployment after you have preconfigured the Mesh Point
software.
Review the
Radio Frequency Safety Requirements (Section
2.1.1) before installing or operating the Mesh Point radio.
1 If the deployed Mesh Point will be powered with the internal
battery and you have not yet done so, fully charge the
battery according to the instructions in Section 2.1.2.1.
or
If you are powering the Mesh Point only through the
DC
Power
input, connect it to the power adapter that shipped
with the Mesh Point, and connect the adapter to a properly
rated AC power outlet.
NOTE: Third par-
ty antennas are
subject to local regulato-
ry requirements. For
outdoor installations,
they must be water-
proof.
2 If the Mesh Point’s internal radio will be used, connect an
omnidirectional antenna with a maximum gain of 5 dBi to
the Wi-Fi antenna port.
3 If the Mesh Point’s GPS function will be used, connect an
antenna to the GPS antenna port.
4 If the Mesh Point will be connected over Ethernet to a wired
LAN or to a remote device, connect the clear (by default)
Ethernet port to a switch on the wired LAN or to the remote
device.
2.3 Mounting the ES210
The ES210 Mesh Point can be worn or carried by a person on
foot, or it can be mounted on a vehicle or in a fixed position.
An ES210 Universal Mounting Kit for the ES210 Mesh Point is
optionally available from Fortress Technologies. The same kit
permits you to mount the ES210 on a mast, fix it to a flat
surface, or attach it magnetically to a smooth metal surface.
Mount the Mesh Point only where it will operate only within its
safe temperature range: 14º–140º F (
–
10º–60º C).
Regardless of how the ES210 will be mounted, you must
prepare the mounting bracket before attaching the ES210 to
the bracket. Follow the instructions appropriate for your
deployment.
