Star and Mesh Deployment Installation
This chapter includes the following topics:
■
Disconnecting Power to the CGR
■
Removing the CGR from the Pole
■
Installing the CAM3S/CAM3M
■
Reinstalling the CGR Back on the Pole
■
Installing the Remote Antenna
■
Reinstalling the Power and Ground to the CGR
Caution: The CAM3S is for Star deployments and uses the remote antenna . In
contrast, the CAM3M is for Mesh deployments and uses the WPAN antenna instead.
This is the only difference when is comes to deployment between the two devices.
Requirements and Materials
The following procedures in this chapter, apply to CAM3S/CAM3M installations in a
CGR for which the following conditions apply:
■
Either the CGR does not contain an existing CAM or it does contain an existing
CAM deployed in either a Star or Mesh configuration.
■
The CGR (with the newly installed CAM3S/CAM3M) is to be deployed in a Star
or Mesh configuration.
Collect the following items before you start.
■
CGR model 1240
■
CAM3S/CAM3M with FCC regulatory label
■
Remote antenna kit (KIT-0049-001, KIT-0073-001, or KIT-0018-007)
Note: For KIT-0049-001 or KIT-0073-001, a coaxial cable kit (KIT-9033-001) is
required.
■
Remote-Mount High-Gain 915MHz antenna (KIT-0018-007)
Note: For this antenna, a coaxial cable of sufficient length is required to introduce
at least the minimum required loss.
