SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-320 Hardware Installation Guide

Figure 10 Radio Node Locations

When possible, locate radio node units at least 6 meters (20 feet) from an external wall. This distance

maximizes indoor coverage and minimizes RF leakage outside the building. Refer to the E-RAN

Deployment Planning Guide for Dual-Mode Systems and E-RAN Deployment Planning Guide for LTE

Systems for more information about radio node placement.

When mounting near a wall or other obstruction, orient the mounting bracket such that the transmit

antenna faces towards the coverage area and faces away from the wall. Refer to Bracket Mounting and

Cabling Guidelines on page 14 for more information.

Installation and Mount Bracket Assembly

The radio node slides into one of two brackets for ceiling or wall mounting:

• a quarter-inch (0.64 centimeter) deep for cabling through a surface such as a wall or ceiling

• a 1.25 inch (3.18 centimeters) deep for exposed cabling along a hard surface such as brick or

cinder block

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 radio node 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

radio node into the mount bracket.

• Secure the radio node to the mount bracket with a padlock or tie wrap to provide physical

security.
