Required Pre-Provisioning Equipment
The following equipment is required to support pre-provisioning of the Gateway, typically in a lab environment:
•
A PC to provision the SecureMesh Gateway. Note that the Gateway’s default IP address is
192.168.0.2.
•
A 24V indoor power supply with PoE injector, where this accessory is included in the Gateway package
contents.
•
Two CAT5e Ethernet cables. One Ethernet cable must be a cross-over cable to connect the Gateway’s
data and power Ethernet port (or the attached surge protector) to the 24V PoE power injector; the other
Ethernet cable must be a straight-through cable to connect the PoE power injector to the PC.
Required Outdoor Equipment
The following equipment is required to support field installation of the Gateway:
•
The PSU-1024-33 SecureMesh Power Service Unit is recommended unless an Uninterruptible Power
Supply is available at the installation site.
•
A CAT5e, UV-protected, Shielded-Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cable with ground wire for connecting
the Gateway’s Surge Protector to the PoE power supply. If the PoE power supply is the PSU-1024-33
24V Power Service Unit, any type of Ethernet cable can be used; otherwise, a cross-over cable must
be used.
•
A surge suppressor, either the unit identified on the accessory list above (Trilliant part number 620-
00705-01) or an equivalent unit.
•
One of the accessory mounting brackets listed above or a similar mounting bracket providing a vertical
pole with a 1.25” to 2” diameter that is a minimum of 18” from any structure to the side of the Gateway.
The vertical pole must extend a minimum of 5” above the horizontal surface of the bracket.
•
A 10 AWG (or larger) ground wire of sufficient length to connect the Gateway to the primary grounding
point of the utility structure to which the Gateway will be mounted.
•
A magnetic level to ensure the Gateway is plumb.
•
Self-fusing rubber insulation and sealing tape such as Scotch
®
130C or 2228 Rubber Mastic Tape
