MEA Setup and Installation
the MiSC is greater than 100 meters, the Network Operator may utilize a T1 with the optional
Net-to-Net boxes. The IAP optionally has a 5V, 3-pin, power out connection on the side of the
box to power the Net-to-Net boxes. Other media converters may be used at the network
operator’s discretion.
The installation location must provide power to the IAP.
It is the responsibility of the Network Operator to ensure that the installation complies with any
local building codes and permits.
Initial IAP Configuration
Prior to attempting configuration of the IAP, the IAP must be powered on and have connectivity
to the MiSC.
Geo-location is an configuration item that is entered into an infrastructure device via the Device
Manager tool, located on the MeshManager server (refer to the MeshManager User’s Guide).
MeshNetworks recommends that a DGPS receiver be used to obtain accurate GPS
coordinates, and that the longitude, latitude, and altitude values have a precision of 5 digits
following the decimal point.
Testing
Once there is an Ethernet connection to the MiSC, verify the health of the IAP with the following
procedure:
1.
2.
Apply power to the IAP.
Obtain the transceiver and SBC MAC addresses that were recorded in Section 4 - MAC
Address Tables. The address will be in the format 00-05-12-0A-xx-yy.
3.
4.
From MeshManager, display devices using the MAC address.
Select the appropriate IAP in the device tree, and then ping the device (right click and
select ping).
A response to the ping commands verifies that both the transceiver and SBC are
communicating.
