Module Support Brackets

The SMMB1 support bracket facilitates mounting

the SM to various surfaces of a structure and has

slots through which chimney straps can be inserted.

An SMMB1 is pictured in Figure 21. The SMMB1

is for use with an SM or an SM with a LENS. It is

not for use with PMP 400 Series (OFDM) SMs or

900-MHz integrated or connectorized SMs, due to

their greater weight and wind loading.

The SMMB2 is a heavy duty mounting bracket that

comes with the 900-MHz integrated SM or AP, and

with the 27D passive reflector. It is also available

separately for use with 900-MHz connectorized

SMs and APs, other connectorized modules, and

400 Series (OFDM) SMs.

The BH1209 is a pole-mount bracket kit for

wireless Ethernet bridges.

Cables

Modules that are currently or recently sold can auto-sense whether the Ethernet cable is wired as

straight-through or crossover. Some modules that were sold earlier cannot. The MAC address,

visible on the module, distinguishes whether the module can. All CMMmicros and CMM4s can

auto-sense the cable scheme.

Where a non auto-sensing module is deployed

• a straight-through cable must be used for connection to a network interface card (NIC).

• a crossover cable must be used for connection to a hub, switch, or router.

Cambium-recommended Ethernet and sync cables can be ordered in lengths up to 328 ft

(100 m) from Best-Tronics Manufacturing, Inc. at

http://www.best-tronics.com/cambium.htm . These cables are listed in Table 9

and

Table 10.
