Installation Guide for SecureMesh WAN® Gateway 2 - PL-0073A
Chapter 2. Overview
This chapter provides information about the kits, accessories, and supplies needed to
install the GATE-2000.
The SecureMesh GATE-2000 serves as a relay node and endpoint within the
SecureMesh Wide Area Network (WAN) network. It communicates to other nodes using
a 5 GHz WAN radio. The radio is connected to an internal array of eight, beam-
switched, directional antennas to provide point to point capability with full 360°
coverage.
The GATE-2000 is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) through a single,
weatherized Ethernet port located on the bottom of the enclosure. The power sourcing
equipment (PSE) used to power the GATE-2000 should be 802.3at compliant and
should be capable of delivering 30W. A single client device can connect to the gateway
through the PSE’s data port. Alternatively, client devices can connect through an
external IP router or Ethernet switch.
Note:
The PSE is not included with the GATE-2000 and should be
purchased separately. Refer to the Trilliant WAN Product Catalog for
recommended PSE devices.
Ethernet cable
The Ethernet cable physically located between the PSE and the GATE-2000 needs to
be rated at 550 MHz or higher to fully support 1GbE speeds. An outdoor rated Cat6 or
Cat6a network cable is the recommended choice.
The network cable should have:
l
23 AWG sized conductor pairs
l
Outer jacket that is UV protected
l
Outer shield (F/UTP or S/FTP are the most common types. S/FTP is preferred.)
Recommended Cat6 and Cat6a cables:
l
Primus cable (model number C6CMXR-1069BK)
l
trueCable (model number 6ESCMXUVBLK)
l
Belden cable (model number 7953A)
