System Overview ® The SpiderCloud Radio Node 200 (SCRN-200) is a low-cost, low-power (100mW) base station designed for indoor use. The radio node is 3GPP compliant, supporting Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Release 6. The radio node enables mobile operators to offer dedicated, in-building coverage and capacity for UMTS services.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide Radio Node System Isometric Top View and Bottom View The radio node ships with either two internal antennas, or with two TNC connectors for use with external antennas. The following drawings display an isometric top and bottom views of the radio node with internal...
Following are the system specifications for the radio node frequency bands of operation, system size, environmental requirements, power, and compliance: Frequency Bands of Operation SpiderCloud Wireless provides three versions of the SCRN-200 for operation in the following bands: • UMTS Band I: Receiver: 1920-1980 MHz, Transmitter: 2110-2170 MHz.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide Power The radio node is compliant with both IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+). SpiderCloud Wireless recommends PoE+ powering so the site can readily support future products operating at higher power levels. •...
Follow IMSI enabled* Powered off or LED disabled * Refer to the SpiderCloud OS (SCOS) Administrator Guide for information about the locate radio node and follow IMSI features. The radio node has one 10/100 Ethernet port that supports a Category 5 (CAT-5/5e) or better twisted-pair cable with an RJ-45 connector.
The radio node receives its power from a standard PoE+ switch (typical) or injector. The radio node is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3at Power Over Ethernet (PoE+) specification. SpiderCloud Wireless recommends PoE+ powering to support future products and functionalities operating at higher power levels.

Use this injector only when a PoE+ Ethernet switch is not available.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide Select the Radio Node Location Radio nodes can be installed in a wide range of locations including walls, ceilings, and plenum spaces. Follow the installation guidelines for selecting appropriate mounting locations for the unit. When mounting a radio node vertically, align the bottom-side fins vertically for superior cooling.
Installation and Mount Bracket Assembly The radio node has a pedestal base that slides into a long bracket for ceiling or wall mounting. SpiderCloud Wireless pre-bolts the pedestal base onto the extrusion plate on the radio node. However you must attach...
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide 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 10.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide Step 3 Slide the pedestal base of the radio node into the groove opening in the mount bracket. When the pedestal reaches the end of the trough, a spring clip will secure the unit into place.

SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide Step 2 With two user-provided screws, attach the mount bracket assembly to a wall or ceiling. The screw holes are sized for an M4 (#10) screw. Ensure the screws have a snug fit onto the studs, sheetrock, anchor, or other material you are bolting onto.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-200 Hardware Installation Guide Completing the Installation Step 1 For radio nodes for use with external antennas, attach the antennas to the TNC connectors. If the radio node is mounted on a horizontal surface, direct the antennas downward.
DHCP server to get IP information. The DHCP server is configured on the services node to respond only to DHCP requests from SpiderCloud Wireless radio nodes. Refer to the SpiderCloud OS (SCOS) Administrator Guide for more information about the services node DHCP server configuration.
The services node sends the SpiderCloud software image (the system image and configuration settings) to the radio node. The radio node reboots and mounts the SpiderCloud software image as a RAM-based file system. The radio node contacts the services node and joins the network.
