Power Up and Software Configuration

The MBW 1100 (WLP) unit is normally mounted on a streetlight (pole or

wall) where it is inconvenient to configure. Therefore, it is recommended

that wireless communication be established to the unit prior to installation,

so that the unit can later be configured and monitored from the ground. To

verify communications when installing the MBW 1100 (WLP) unit, the

Mesh-Gateways must be installed and powered up first.

The LEDs on the MBW 1100 (WLP) unit indicate the status of

communications between the MBW 1100 (WLP) unit and the network. See

Table 6 for more information on the LED indicators.

The ACT LED on the Mesh-Gateway should be checked to verify that wired

communications have been established. The BH LED on the Mesh-Gateway

should be checked to verify that wireless communications have been

established.

When powering up a Mesh-Node, the BH LED should be lit to verify that

the MBW 1100 (WLP) unit’s wireless communication is connected. MBW

1100 (WLP) boot time is about 2.5 minutes. The BH LED indicator will light

up after the boot is completed.
