SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-330 Hardware Installation Guide Figure 7 shows the valid radio node cabling/powering options: Figure 7 Valid Radio Node Cabling/Powering Options The illustration below shows a generic single-port PoE+ injector. Use this injector only when a PoE+ Ethernet switch is not available.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-330 Hardware Installation Guide System Specifications The SCRN-330 radio node has the following chassis measurements, power requirements, and environmental requirements, and complies with the following standards. Refer to the feature guide for your services node software release for release-specific features and specifications.
1,363,791 hours at +40°C (104°F) SCRN-330 Bracket Specifications The SCRN-330 radio node connects to one of two brackets for ceiling or wall mounting: • a quarter-inch (0.64 centimeter) deep for cabling through a surface such as a wall or ceiling •...
Refer to the E-RAN Deployment Planning Guide for information about mounting positioning and the affects on cellular coverage. Always consult local codes about mounting and wiring SpiderCloud Wireless equipment.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-330 Hardware Installation Guide Figure 9 Radio Node Locations When possible, locate radio node units at least 6 meters (20 feet) from an external wall. This distance maximizes indoor coverage and minimizes RF leakage outside the building. Refer to the E-RAN Deployment Planning Guide for Dual-Mode Systems and E-RAN Deployment Planning Guide for LTE Systems for more information about radio node placement.
Installing the Radio Node The radio node receives its power source over powered Ethernet. If your wiring closet does not have existing PoE+ equipment, SpiderCloud Wireless recommends a PoE+ power injector for the radio node. See section Input Power on page 9.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-330 Hardware Installation Guide Attach the mount bracket to the radio node as shown in Figure Figure 10 Radio Node Slides into Mount Bracket Installing the Radio Node (Method 1) Use this method with the quarter-inch bracket when routing the Ethernet cable through an opening where the bracket will be mounted.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-330 Hardware Installation Guide Step 3 With two user-provided screws, attach the mount bracket assembly to a wall or ceiling. The screw holes are sized for an M4 (#10) or larger screw. Ensure the screws have a snug fit onto the studs, sheetrock, anchor, or other material you are bolting onto and that you match the screw head with the appropriate cutout hole size on the bracket.
