Installation
WARNING!
Installing a unit usually involves height, electricity, and exposure to RF
(Radio Frequency) energy. To avoid personal injury, follow applicable
national and local safety regulations along with industry best practices.
Also follow the specific guidelines in this document, including Exposure
Separation Distances in section

INSTALLING AN AP WITH CONNECTORIZED ANTENNA
This section addresses installation aspects specific to the PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series AP.
General communications equipment, infrastructure, and facilities site design should be performed
in line with Motorola’s “Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites” (also known as the
R56 manual). The R56 manual is available in either CD soft copy (part no. 9880384V83) or three-
ring bound color hard copy (6881089E50). Both may be purchased from Motorola Customer Care
Services (1-800-814-0601).
These procedures are specific to the case of as AP purchased as a kit consisting of a
connectorized antenna and a connectorized radio. They are also generally applicable to
connectorized APs, SMs, or BHs when the antenna is purchased separately by the operator.
A short coaxial cable from the radio terminates in a male N connector. The antenna has a
chassis-mounted female N connector. The antenna includes tower mount brackets with
adjustable down-tilt.
Installing an AP typically consists of four phases:
5. Configuring the AP at an operator's facility or at the installation site using the
information and settings defined previously in Planning (Section 3) and Configuring
(Section 4).
6. Assembling the AP (radio and antenna and brackets) and physically installing it using
Procedure 2 for 5.8 and 5.4 GHz APs or Procedure 3 for 4.9 GHz APs, along with
physically installing a CMMmicro (for PMP 54400 AP only) or CMM4 (for either PMP
58430, 54430, 54400 or PMP 49400).
7. Cabling the AP to the CMMmicro (for PMP 54400 AP only) or CMM4 (for either PMP
58430, 54430, 54400 or PMP 49400), and grounding it to Protective Earth
– PE
using Procedure 4. This phase can also include cabling to backhauls, or running
terrestrial feeds.
8. Confirming operation, using SMs in the field.
Local practices and choices of installation options will dictate the actual processes. For example,
variations on these generalized procedures can be used to install on a building or install multiple
APs on a pipe mount before hoisting up a tower for final attachment.
