SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide

Bracket Mounting and Cabling Guidelines

Incorrectly cabling and mounting a radio node can result in crushed cables and loss of communications to

the unit. Follow these guidelines in cabling the radio node and mounting it on the bracket:

• Ensure that the cabling is properly routed and dressed.

• Ensure that the pedestal base is fully inserted into the mount bracket so that it locks into place

and is flush. A correctly installed cable should at no time during installation impede inserting

the pedestal base into the mount bracket.

• Secure the pedestal base to the mount bracket with a padlock or tie wrap to provide physical

security.

• When mounting the radio node vertically, orient the bracket with the open end on top and the

closed end on the bottom. Figure 12 on page 14 shows the proper vertical orientation.

• When mounting the radio node near a wall or other obstruction, orient the bracket such that the

radio node transmit side towards the coverage area. In vertical mountings, this is on the right

side of the radio node. Figure 12 on page 14 shows the mounting bracket orientation:

Installing the Radio Node

The radio node receives its power source over powered Ethernet. If your wiring closet does not have

existing PoE+ equipment, SpiderCloud Wireless recommends a PoE+ power injector for the radio node.

See section Input Power on page 10.

The Ethernet cable can route openly or directly through a surface such as a wall or ceiling:

• Refer to Installing the Radio Node (Method 1) on page 14 for open cable routing installation.

• Refer to Installing the Radio Node (Method 2) on page 16 for direct cable routing installation.

Installing the Radio Node (Method 1)

To route the cable openly and mount the radio node

Step 1 With two user-provided screws, attach the mount bracket assembly to a wall or ceiling. The

screw holes are sized for an M4 (#10) screw. Ensure the screws have a snug fit onto the

studs, sheetrock, anchor, or other material you are bolting onto.
