PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide
Chapter 5: 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 on page
93.
Installing an AP with Connectorized Antenna
This section addresses installation aspects specific to the PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series AP.
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:
1.
Configuring the AP at an operator's facility or at the installation site using the information and
settings defined previously in Planning (Section Chapter 3) and Configuring (Section Chapter
4).
2.
Assembling the AP (radio and antenna and brackets) and physically installing it using
Procedure 3 for 5.8 and 5.4 GHz APs or Procedure 4 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).
3.
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 5.
This phase can also include cabling to backhauls, or running terrestrial feeds.
4.
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.
