2.2.2 Connections for Deployment
WARNING: To
comply with FCC
regulations, antennas
must be professionally
installed and the install-
er is responsible for en-
suring compliance with
FCC limits.
Review the Radio Frequency Safety Requirements (Section
2.1.1) before installing or operating Mesh Point radios.
1 If the Mesh Point will be located in a vehicle, to avoid
additional grounding requirements, it is recommended that
the ES820 be mounted with direct contact to the vehicle
chassis.
2 Connect low-loss coaxial cables to the N-type connectors
on the ES820.
CAUTION: The
FCC requires co-
located radio antennas
to be at least 7.9" apart.
The Mesh Point’s anten-
na connectors are only
5" apart. Avoid directly
mounting two antennas
to the Mesh Point’s rear-
panel connectors.
3 Run the coaxial cables to the external vehicle antennas,
and connect them to the external antennas.
4 Connect the Mesh Point’s DC power inlet to the power
source(s) it will use.
5 Verify that the Power and Status LEDs illuminate, as well as
the appropriate LEDs for all connected ports and enabled
radio(s).
