Environmental rating and unit roles

The Cisco FM3200 Base (model number FM3200) is a wireless radio
transceiver unit.
The hardware is contained in an outdoor-rated metal enclosure that can
be easily mounted on poles or walls.
The Cisco FM3200 Base can operate in any of the following networking
roles:
• As a point-to-point wireless bridge (see
bridge" (page 16)
• As a single radio unit within a wireless mesh network (see
network architecture" (page 17)
• As a Primary radio unit or Subordinate radio unit within a point-to-
multipoint wireless network (see 'Using the FluidMAX Management
Setting' in

Installation hardware

Metal clamps are supplied as part of the installation package, to allow
mounting of the unit on utility poles. Refer to the Cisco FM3200 Base
installation instructions for details.

Removable bottom housing

The unit features a removable, water-tight bottom housing. The bottom
housing is equipped with an NPT-1 standard-thread cable gland. The
cable gland can house a dual-cable rubber seal that can accept two
shielded Ethernet cables. Three different pre-cut rubber seals are
provided to accept Ethernet cables of different diameter.
CAUTION
To prevent leaks and cable damage, tighten the cable gland by
hand only. Do not use a wrench. No additional tape or sealing
hardware is required.
If you are running only one Ethernet cable through the rubber
seal, block the second cable hole with a one-inch cable stub
only.
