— Insert one screw through the hole at the top of the mounting bracket to the hole at the top
of the pole bracket.
— Insert the other screw through the curved slot track in the mounting bracket to the hole in
the middle of the pole bracket just above the clamp slot.
5.
Level the mounting bracket by rotating the unit along the curved slot tracks. Tighten the
screws.
6.
Place the upright router onto the top of the mounting bracket, as shown in

through the holes in the mounting bracket tabs to corresponding holes on the bottom of the
router.
To continue installing the router, see the next section,
“Connecting Data and Power Cables.”
Connecting Data and Power Cables
The router is equipped with two RJ45 ports.
LAN. The port labeled LAN is a 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet port normally used for a
network backhaul connection. The router can be powered over this port using industry-
standard 802.3at PoE (Power over Ethernet) power (do not use any other form of PoE power
on this port). This port can also be used to configure the router.
MGT. The port labeled MGT is one of two types, depending on the specific Tropos 6410 or
6420 model. See the model number descriptions in
“Tropos 6410 Router Product Summary”
on page 11 and
“Tropos 6420 Router Product Summary”
on page 12. If you have any
questions about models or configuration, contact Tropos Customer Support
([email protected]).
— On some models the MGT port is a 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet port used for
configuration and for connecting a wired Ethernet client to the router.
— On some models the MGT port is a serial port that is capable of supporting RS-232 or
RS-485 serial clients.
The router can be powered over the MGT port using DC power in the range 11-55VDC (see
pin assignments on the RJ-45 connector in
This section describes how to connect the Ethernet cables.
Note
The router is shipped pre-configured. For post-installation changes in configuration, you can communicate
with the router by way of its wireless connection. For more information, see the Tropos Networks User
