HotPort 3203 Outdoor Wireless Mesh Node

Mounting the Enclosure
The HotPort 3203 enclosure should be mounted securely to a wall/wood structure or a pole
approximately 2” (51 mm) in diameter. You can also mount the enclosure to a wall, to poles
smaller or larger than 2” in diameter, light poles, and irregularly shaped poles.
Mounting Guidelines
•
For best results, the mounting location should enable maximum performance of the antenna
and any attached devices, such as access points or cameras. Whenever possible, provide
clear line-of-sight access for the antennas. You can test various locations by mounting the
unit to a portable stand until you can determine the ideal location for permanent mounting.
•
The location must allow for a solid connection to earth ground. Be sure the earth ground wire
or strap does not obstruct access to the enclosure.
•
The unit must be within reach of the power cord/power transition cable to an AC outlet for
power (a 10 m (33 ft)) power transition cable is provided; longer cables are available for order
from your Firetide dealer). Note: AC power is not required if the HotPort 3203 will receive
power via Power over Ethernet from Power Sourcing Equipment.
Wall Mounting
1. Use four screws to attach the universal mounting bracket securely to the wall using the four
holes near the top and bottom of the universal mounting bracket. Use appropriate anchors
when attaching to masonry or other materials.
2. Attach the enclosure to the universal mounting bracket by sliding the metal clips on the back
of the enclosure into the metal straps on the universal mounting bracket.
3. Secure the enclosure to the universal mounting bracket using the four captive screws on the
sides on the universal mounting bracket.
