Page 4: Introduction
Each SecureMesh Extender Bridge employs a 5 GHz SecureMesh WAN radio with an array of 8 directional antennas to interoperate as an element of the SecureMesh WAN and a 2.4 GHz SecureMesh NAN radio with an omnidirectional dipole antenna to act as an access point for SecureMesh NAN devices. The Extender Bridge uses the same enclosure as an Extender to house the WAN antenna array, the WAN Extender circuitry, and optional 802.11b/g 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi access point circuitry as well as the NAN Collector circuitry. -

130C or 2228 Rubber Mastic Tape Installation Location In general, a SecureMesh Extender Bridge should be installed in a location that will not obstruct the radio signals to and from the SecureMesh Extender Bridge. The SecureMesh Extender Bridge should be installed in a location that meets all of the following guidelines: ... -
Page 9: Pre-Provisioning
The following Extender parameter must be configured: Shared network key (“netkey”) — the shared network key is used by a SecureMesh WAN node to prove (via an authentication handshake) that the node belongs to a particular network or operator; i.e., the shared network key is used to authenticate the SecureMesh WAN node to the SecureMesh WAN and, reciprocally, authenticate the SecureMesh WAN to the SecureMesh WAN node. -

RIDGE Configuring the SecureMesh Extender Bridge Assuming the Extender Bridge is properly pre-provisioned, use of automatic provisioning as described in the ―Trilliant Network Element Management System (NEMS) Administration Guide‖ (Trilliant document number TLT-CS-ADM-94) recommended. Monitoring the Power-On Sequence When power is supplied to the SecureMesh Extender Bridge, it starts a power-on sequence that can be monitored by observing the pair of LED lights on the underside of the device. -
Page 23: Appendix
PPENDIX Grounding Guidelines Proper grounding protects both your SecureMesh device and any equipment connected to it. For the surge protection circuitry built into the SecureMesh equipment to be effective, proper grounding of the unit is necessary. Protection is essential if the unit is installed on tall structures or in areas subject to lightning. - Page 24 For Towers and Rooftops Use the proper size down lead to connect the SecureMesh WAN device on a roof or tower to the ground system. Run the CAT5e cable inside the tower structure, tying the cable to the tower leg at every 4 feet of length.
