SecureMesh TM Extender Installation Guide PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION Required Equipment  A power supply, typically one of the power supplies listed as an Extender accessory. For all outdoor installations, the PSU-1024-33A SecureMesh Power Service Unit is recommended unless an Uninterruptible Power Supply is available.  A CAT5e, UV-protected, Shielded-Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cable with ground wire for connecting the Extender’s Surge Protector to the PoE power supply.

SecureMesh  TM Extender Installation Guide The installation location must not obstruct radio communications. For example: — The mounting structure should not block radio coverage or be adjacent to structures that block radio coverage). — The installation location must be clear of thick trees or brush growth upon installation and in the foreseeable future. Foliage in the line of sight with other communicating devices can detrimentally affect radio performance.

SecureMesh TM Extender Installation Guide INSTALLING THE EXTENDER Physically installing the SecureMesh Extender involves:  Mounting the device  Grounding and protecting the device  Connecting to a source of power  Completing the installation Installation of the Extender on either a utility pole or streetlight are discussed in the following subsections.
PAGE 9
SecureMesh TM Extender Installation Guide Utility Pole Installation To install an Extender on a utility pole, observe the following procedures: Mounting the Device Mount the Bracket  The DK-0029A vertical pole mounting bracket has an extension arm and a mounting pole as shown on the right.  Mount the equipment extension arm to the utility pole using bolts or bands.  Attach a steel mounting pole through the end of the extension arm using the 5/8‖ attached bolt on the bottom of the pole mount.

SecureMesh TM Extender Installation Guide Grounding and Protecting the Device Attach the Surge Protector The surge protector box should be attached to the bottom of the Extender. The surge protector will be attached using the ground screw as a pivot point then the box will be swung into place against a mounting bracket screw.
PAGE 11
SecureMesh TM Extender Installation Guide Connecting the Device to a Source of Power The Power Service Unit should be used to provide PoE power and battery backup for the Extender. Please refer to the Power Service Unit Installation Guide for more information (Trilliant document PL-0042A, Installation Guide, SecureMesh 24V PSU). Connect the Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector to the Surge Protector. Both power and data are provided over the Ethernet cable connection to the Extender.
PAGE 12
SecureMesh TM Extender Installation Guide Completing the installation  Check the connections and close the device Check to ensure all connections and grounding are proper, and replace the surge protector’s cover and the Ethernet connection cover on the base of the Extender. These screws should be tightened to 15 foot-pounds (20 Newton-meters) of torque.

SecureMesh TM Extender Installation Guide Streetlight Pole Mounting and Grounding To install an Extender on a streetlight, observe the following procedures: Mounting the Device Mount the Bracket     Chose one of the two available Streetlight Installation Kits from the Extender accessory list. The kits vary only in the length of the cable to attach to the streetlight photo cell.
PAGE 14
SecureMesh TM Extender Installation Guide Attach The Extender to the Bracket Use the provided mounting bracket and appropriate length ¼―diameter screws that are provided in the accessory kit to attach the SecureMesh Extender to the mounting pole (see the figure on the right). Before tightening, rotate the device to ensure there is ample room for the omnidirectional antennas to clear the mount stand and streetlight pole.
PAGE 15
SecureMesh TM Extender Installation Guide Connecting the Device to a Source of Power The Streetlight Installation Kit is to be used with constantly powered streetlights that use standard photocell adapters. The Streetlight Installation Kit is complete with an A/C to D/C power supply that also provides surge protection.

SecureMesh TM Extender Installation Guide COMMISSIONING THE EXTENDER Configuring the SecureMesh Extender Assuming the Extender is properly pre-provisioned, use of automatic provisioning as described in the ―Trilliant Network Element Management System (NEMS) Administration Guide‖ (Trilliant document number TLT-CSADM-94) recommended.
PAGE 18
SecureMesh TM Extender Installation Guide APPENDIX Grounding Guidelines Proper grounding protects both your SecureMesh device and any equipment connected to it. For the surge protection circuitry built into the SecureMesh equipment to be effective, proper grounding of the unit is necessary. Protection is essential if the unit is installed on tall structures or in areas subject to lightning.
PAGE 19
SecureMesh TM Extender Installation Guide Making Robust and Lasting Connections Regardless of the grounding point you use, make sure the connections are capable of retaining low resistance and integrity over time and with exposure to the elements by use of an antioxidant compound. For protection against corrosion and rust, wrap all connections with a product such as Scotch® 130C or 2228 Rubber Mastic Tape.
