When power is applied to a Canopy module or the unit reset via the web-based interface, the

module will take approximately 25 seconds to boot up. During this boot up time, power on self-

tests and other diagnostics are being performed.

The following steps are needed to install the Canopy equipment:

• Remove the base cover from all Canopy Access Point modules to be installed.

• Remove the GPS sync cable knockout from the base cover with needle-nose pliers.

• Mount the Access Point modules:

- The modules can be mounted in a variety of locations, choose the best location

for your particular application. Modules do not have to mounted directly next to

each other, they can be distributed throughout a given site. Mounting can be done

by using stainless steel hose clamps or another equivalent fastener.

• Mount the Cluster Management Module

- Mount the module in a location that will allow access for service if necessary.

- The farthest that the Access Point modules can be from the

Cluster Management Module is 328 feet (100 meters).

- The module should not be mounted closer than 10 feet (3 meters) to the Access

Point modules or Backhaul Modules

- The module box has flanges for ease of installation. Hardware is included to

support different mounting options:

- Directly to a wall (screws or bolts not included)

- Around irregular shaped objects (via adjustable stainless steel bands,

included)

- To a pole with an outside diameter of 1.25 to 3.00 inches

(approximately 3 to 8 cm). (toothed V brackets, included).

• Mount the GPS antenna

- The GPS antenna must be located so that it has an unobstructed view of the sky (20-

degrees off the horizon) and is not the highest item at the installation site (for

lightning).

- The GPS antenna mount is provided with U-bolts for pole sizes of 1.25 to 1.50 inches

(approximately 3 to 4 cm).
