• When mounting the radio node vertically, orient the bracket such that the bracket keyholes
have the narrow side up as shown in Figure 11.
Typical Radio Node Mounting Options
Radio nodes can be mounted on a wide number of surfaces including the following typical surfaces:
• Light grill: Use bolts, nuts, and washers to secure the universal mount bracket using holes in
the light grill. Adjust the universal mounting bracket until the bracket and light grill holes align.
• Directly on the wall or ceiling: Use drywall screws to secure the universal mount bracket
directly to sheetrock or plasterboard on the wall or ceiling.
• Mud or plaster ring: Secure the universal mount bracket directly on the wall or ceiling as
above with a 3 1/4 inch (8.25 centimeter) mud or plaster ring between the mount bracket and
the mounting service and run the Ethernet cable through ring’s hole.
• Existing infrastructure: Secure the universal mount bracket to existing infrastructure as long
as the radio node RF propagation or existing installed equipment is not adversely impacted.
• Non-metal tiles: Use bracing for rear support and mount the radio node in the center of the tile
for even weight distribution. Ensure that the bracing is the same width as the tile.
• Drop ceiling: Contact your SpiderCloud Wireless representative for recommendations of
supported third-party brackets and clamps.
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 directly through a surface such as a wall or ceiling or route the cable openly:
• Refer to Installing the Radio Node (Method 1) on page 16 for direct cable routing installation
through an opening behind the mount bracket using the shorter mount bracket.
• Refer to Installing the Radio Node (Method 2) on page 17 for open cable routing installation
using the taller mount bracket.
