Installing an MP-622
The MP-622 includes a bracket kit for mounting the unit to a 1.5 to 2 inch diameter steel pole or
tube. The pole-mounting bracket allows the unit to be mounted to part of a radio mast or tower
structure. The unit also has a wall-mounting bracket kit that enables it to be installed on a
building wall or roof when using external antennas.
Hardware installation of the MP-622 involves these steps:
1. Mount the unit on a wall, pole, mast, or tower using the mounting bracket.
2. Mount external antennas on the same supporting structure as the MP-622 and connect them to
the unit.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable and a grounding wire to the unit.
4. Connect the power injector to the Ethernet cable, a local LAN switch, and an AC power source.
5. For wireless bridge or Mesh Services installations, align antennas at the bridge or mesh link
endpoints.
Mounting the Unit
You can mount the MP-622 using either the pole-mounting bracket or the wall-mounting bracket.
Use one of the following procedures.
Using the Pole-Mounting Bracket
Perform the following steps to mount the unit to a 1.5 to 2 inch diameter steel pole or tube using
the mounting bracket:
Note:
If you are installing the MP-622 as a Mesh AP in a WLAN Mesh or wireless bridge
configuration, the MP does not have a wired link to an MX. You must configure the
MP connection using a wired link to an MX before deploying the MP-622 in a final
location.
See the Mobility System Software Configuration Guide for information about
configuring WLAN Mesh Services and wireless bridging.
Note:
Always attach the bracket to a pole with the open end of the mounting grooves facing
up.
