DN200 User Manual Rel 1.0
1.
Mount the DN200 unit on a wall, pole, mast, or tower using the mounting hardware.
2.
Mount external antennas on the same supporting structure as the device and connect them
to the device unit.
3.
Connect a grounding wire to the DN200 unit.
4.
Connect the Ethernet cables to the DN200 unit.
5.
Connect the power supply to the DN200, and to an AC power source.
6.
Connect the power injector (if used) to the Ethernet cable, a local LAN switch, and an AC
power source.
7.
Align antennas at both ends of the link.
Before mounting antennas to set up your wireless links, be sure you have selected appropriate locations
for each antenna. Follow the guidance and information in
“Link Planning.”
Also before mounting units in their intended locations, you should first configure the devices as
described in Section 0
“System Setup”
and
Section 1.6 , “System
Configuration.”
You should also test
the basic operation of the wireless device links in a controlled environment over a very short range, as
described in
“Testing Basic Link Operation”, Section 1.12.1
.
1.12 Before Installing
Before installing your DN200 Outdoor Wireless Access Point/Router, verify that you have the
following:
•
Outdoor Ethernet cable of required length or a cable meeting the pin-out configuration specification
to the required length (not to exceed 90 meters total), shielded CAT-5 Ethernet 8-pin DIN to RJ-45
•
Power supply shipped with the DN200
•
An appropriate and stable mounting location
•
A suitable electrical grounding point (on AP mounting mast/pole)
•
Appropriate tools (wrench for mounting bolts, Phillips head screwdriver, DC voltmeter (if RSSI-
based link alignment is to be performed))
Mounting items not supplied with the DN200 — screws, bolts, and straps — should be ordered and
available prior to installation.
Due to the typically inaccessible location often best suited to deploying an outdoor wireless device (for
example, on rooftops, sides of buildings, or on a radio tower) it is recommended that the network
administrator pre-provision the DN200 system to be installed (taking note of settings, passwords,
Channel, MAC and IP addresses) prior to physical installation, and confirm that the device is fully
operational and free from fault.
1.12.1 Testing Basic Link Operation
Set up the units over a very short range (15 to 25 feet), either outdoors or indoors. Connect the units as
indicated in this chapter and be sure to perform all the basic configuration tasks outlined in
“System
Setup.”
When you are satisfied that the links are operating correctly, proceed to mount the units in their
intended locations.
