Page 15: Location Guidelines
Preparing for Installation Location Guidelines Tropos routers are radio devices and therefore susceptible to interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these guidelines to ensure the best performance: Install the unit in an area where trees, buildings, and large steel structures do not obstruct radio signals to and from the antenna. -
Page 16: Power Source
Mounting Strategies Power Source The Tropos 6310 and 6320 routers are powered by power over Ethernet (PoE) input: PoE (20-60Vdc) 100-277 VAC with external accessory Caution Tropos 6310 and 6320 routers use proprietary PoE. The routers are not 802.3af compliant. Safety Installing the routers can pose a serious hazard. - Page 17 Mounting Strategies Acceptable options for mounting on a streetlight are shown in Figure 2. In each case the router is mounted to assure clearance for the antennas above the height of the streetlight.
