Step 10: Weatherproof the Connectors

After you have fully assembled and tightened the cable, use the provided

self-fusing, rubber-based tape strip and electrical tape (not provided; Proxim

recommends Scotch™ Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical Tape) to seal the connection,

as follows.

Remove the ﬁ lm liner from the rubber-based tape strip, and stretch the 1.

tape until it is approximately half of its original width. This activates the

self-fusing action of the tape, which will set up over time to create a single,

waterproof mass.

Stretch and wrap the tape around the connector tightly, starting below the 2.

connector cap and against the unit and wrapping in a clockwise direction.

Wrap the tape once around the base of the connector cap (A). Continue

to wrap the tape spirally around the connector in a clockwise direction,

maintaining a 50% width overlap (B). Continue wrapping the tape spirally

upward (C) until the tape extends onto the cable and you have used the

entire length of tape. Seal the tape tightly against the connector and the

cable (D).

Note:

Be sure to wrap the tape in a clockwise direction; wrapping the tape in a

counterclockwise direction may loosen up the connector.

In the same manner as described in Step 2 above, apply a layer of black 3.

electrical tape (not provided) over the rubber-based tape for further

protection. Make sure the electrical tape also extends beyond the rubber-

based tape to seal it.

Repeat the weatherprooﬁ ng procedure for other connectors as appropriate.4.

Step 7: Power on the Unit

The power injector provides Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), supplying electricity

and wired connectivity to the unit over a single 24 AWG CAT5 (diameter .114 to

.250 inches/2.9 to 6.4 mm). The unit is not 802.3af-compatible. Always use the

supplied power injector to ensure that the unit is powered properly. Note that

the Active Ethernet module provides +48 VDC over a standard CAT5 Ethernet

cable.

Once you have connected the power injector to the Ethernet cabling and

plugged the power injector cord into an AC outlet, the unit is powered on.

There is no ON/OFF switch on the unit. To remove power, unplug the AC cord

from the AC outlet or disconnect the RJ45 connector from the “Data and Power

Out” port on the power injector.

Press the Reload button (on the side of the power injector) for ﬁ ve seconds

during power-up remotely resets the Mesh radios to their factory default

settings. You will need to use the end of a pin or paperclip to depress the

button.

WARNING!

To avoid damaging your router/switch, do not connect the RJ45

port labeled either “Data & Power Out” from the power injector to

your router/switch.

Press the Reload button (on the side of the power injector) to intiate the

Reload/Reset functionality. You may have to use the end of a pin or paperclip to

press the button.

If the Reload button is pressed for 5 to 10 seconds and then released, then

Mesh module moves to the bootloader state. If Reload button is pressed beyond

10 seconds, then the Mesh module’s Reload functionality is ignored.

If the Reload button is pressed for 10 to 20 sconds and released, then none of

the operation is performed and the Reload button is aborted.

If the Reload button is pressed for 20 seconds and above, then the Subscriber

module moves to reload state.

NOTE:

Bootloader will display all events to the serial console, which will guide user to

perform the Reload functionality.
