Cable Requirements
Category 5 cable with straight-through signaling must be installed at the site before you install an
MP. A single connection requires one cable. A dual-homed connection requires two cables.
Mounting an MP on a solid surface requires Cat 5 cable that does not have strain relief. For
installation on all other surfaces, you can use Cat 5 cable with or without strain relief.
Warning!
In the U.S., locate the MP and any externally attached antennas a minimum of
7.9 inches (20 cm) away from people. This safety warning conforms with FCC radio
frequency exposure limits for dipole antennas such as those used in the MP.
Warning!
Do not operate the MP near unshielded blasting caps or in an otherwise explosive
environment unless the device has been modified for such use by qualified personnel.
Before using a wireless device in a hazardous location, consult the local codes,
national codes, and safety directors of the location for usage constraints
Warning!
Do not touch or move the MP when the antennas are transmitting or receiving.
Do not hold any radio device so that the antenna is very close to or touching the face,
eyes, or other exposed body part while the radio antenna is transmitting.
Warning!
Do not connect or disconnect cables or otherwise work with the MP hardware during
periods of lightning activity.
Note:
The MP is intended for indoor use only. Do not install the device outdoors, unless you
install it with a Trapeze Networks outdoor MP enclosure.
Note:
To reduce the possibility of connection interference caused by dust, clean the Cat 5
connector pins before inserting a cable into an MP.
