SmartCloud Radio Node - SCRN 200 Hardware Installation GuideSpiderCloud Wireless, Inc. 9The radio node has one 10/100 Ethernet port that supports a Category 5 (CAT-5) cable with an RJ-45 connector. Figure 4 shows the 10/100 port. There are two LEDs on the connector:•Link: Steady green state indicates a normal Layer 2 link connection has been established. •Activity: Yellow blinking indicates data activity. Figure 4 Ethernet PortAntennasThe radio node has two vertically-polarized, omnidirectional internal antennas. They radiate power in a plane normal to their length: horizontal radiation from vertically-oriented antennas.The radio node operates over a licensed band so it can be placed anywhere inside the building. However, coverage area is very important. Place the radio node units at strategic points for best coverage.PoE+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. Per IEEE 802.3at, use standard CAT-5/5e or better twisted-pair cable with a maximum length restriction of 100 meters (328 feet) for PoE+. This restriction minimizes power loss between the PoE+ power source and the radio node. To maximize antenna transmission, SpiderCloud Wireless recommends not installing the radio node inside a metallic enclosure.Power is distributed over two pairs of the four available pairs in CAT-5 cables. The radio node can accept power on either used or un-used pairs.EthernetPortLink ActivityTipNote
SmartCloud Radio Node - SCRN 200 Hardware Installation Guide SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.10Figure 5 shows the valid radio node cabling/powering options:Figure 5 Valid Radio Node Cabling/Powering OptionsSpiderCloud recommends the third-party Phihong POE36U-1AT single-port PoE+ injector. Use this injector only when a PoE+ Ethernet switch is not available. Figure 6 Phihong POE36U-1AT PoE+ InjectorTo connect the PoE+ injector to a radio nodeStep 1 Attach the injector power cord to a power source.Step 2 Connect an unpowered Ethernet cable from a switch to the IN port on the injector. Step 3 Connect an Ethernet cable from the injector’s OUT port to the radio node. The injector will now inject power onto a pair of wire pairs in the cable. The radio node will expect a nominal 48V DC input (57V max) from the PoE+ injector. The Phihong POE36U-1AT PoE+ power injector typically supplies 57V maximum.SCSN 8000PoE SwitchOutIn SCSN 8000PoE Switch orPoE InjectorPoE InjectorNon PoE SwitchOUT INCONNECT PoEPLUS ON
SmartCloud Radio Node - SCRN 200 Hardware Installation GuideSpiderCloud Wireless, Inc. 11Select the Radio Node LocationSelect a location for the radio node. The unit can be installed in a wide range of locations including walls, ceilings, and plenum spaces. Follow the installation guidelines for choosing appropriate mounting locations for the unit. When mounting a radio node vertically, align the fins vertically for superior cooling. Figure 7 Radio Node LocationsLocate radio node units at least 5 meters (16 feet) from an external wall. This distance maximizes indoor coverage and minimizes RF leakage outside the building. Use Table 2 to determine the maximum distance between radio node units. Greater separation may affect coverage or system performance.

SmartCloud Radio Node - SCRN 200 Hardware Installation Guide SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.12Installation and Mount Bracket AssemblyThe radio node has a pedestal base that slides into a long “U” shaped bracket for ceiling or wall mounting. SpiderCloud pre-bolts the pedestal base onto the extrusion plate on the radio node. However you must attach the pedestal base to the mount bracket as shown in Figure 8: Figure 8 Pedestal Base Slides into Mount BracketBracket Mounting and Cabling GuidelinesIncorrectly cabling and mounting a radio node can result in crushed cables and loss of communications to the unit. Follow these guidelines in cabling the radio node and mounting it on the bracket:• Ensure that the cabling is properly routed and dressed. • Ensure that the pedestal base is fully inserted into the mount bracket so that it locks into place and is flush. A correctly installed cable should at no time during installation impede inserting the pedestal base into the mount bracket. • Secure the pedestal base to the mount bracket with a padlock or tie wrap to provide physical security.Installation ProcedureThe radio node receives its power source over powered Ethernet. If your wiring closet does not have existing PoE+ equipment, SpiderCloud recommends a PoE+ power injector for the radio node. See section PoE+ on page 9.Mount Bracket Pedestal Base
SmartCloud Radio Node - SCRN 200 Hardware Installation GuideSpiderCloud Wireless, Inc. 13To install the radio node:Step 1 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 to: Figure 9 Attach the Mount BracketStep 2 Route the Ethernet cable through the pedestal base cable opening and through the cable guards. Insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port as shown in Figure 10: Figure 10 Route and Terminate the CableRJ-45 Connector in Ethernet PortCableOpeningCableGuard

When the pedestal reaches the end of the trough, a spring clip will secure the unit into place: Figure 11 Slide the Mount Bracket onto the Pedestal Base Figure 12 Fully MountedStep 4 Attach a padlock or cable tie wrap through the cutout lock holes in the mount bracket and pedestal base: Figure 13 Lock Holes SpringClipLockHoles

See Boot Sequence and Services Node Communication on page 15 for details.Detaching the Radio Node from the Mount BracketTo remove the radio node from the bracket assemblyStep 1 If needed, remove the padlock or cable tie wrap securing the radio node.Step 2 Depress the spring clip on the pedestal base and slide the radio node out of the mount bracket.Step 3 Detach the RJ-45 clip from the Ethernet port and remove the cable from cable brackets and cable opening.Boot Sequence and Services Node CommunicationOn initial boot, the radio node performs the following boot sequence and communicates with the services node. This sequence takes about one minute to complete. When completed, all devices are reachable:Figure 14 Radio Node Boot SequenceThe lock in the above figure is shown schematically.

SmartCloud Radio Node - SCRN 200 Hardware Installation Guide SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.16Sequence description:1. When the radio node is powered on, the device sends a DHCP Request to the network DHCP server to get IP information.2. The DHCP server is configured to use vendor Option 43. The server responds with the IP addresses of the radio node and the services node (the master of the radio node). The following example shows a sample configuration from a DHCP server, where 10.1.30.99 is the IP address of the radio node’s controlling services node:option space SPIDERCLOUD;option SPIDERCLOUD.access-controller code 102 = string;option SPIDERCLOUD.access-controller "10.1.30.99;";3. Using its own IP address, the radio node sends a Join Request message to the services node. The radio node seeks to join the cellular network. 4. The Join Response from the services node will be one of the following:—Join Grant: Permit the radio node to join the services node.—Redirect: Redirect the radio node to join a different services node if you have multiple services node units configured in the network.—Denied: The security signature on the radio node does not match what the services node expects. The client is untrusted and treated as a rogue device. 5. The arrival sequence begins. Based on the configuration of the radio node, the radio node will join the system and get its configuration. The services node sends the SpiderCloud software image (the system image and configuration settings) to the radio node. 6. The radio node reboots and mounts the SpiderCloud software image as a RAM-based file system.7. The radio node contacts the services node and joins the network.Related DocumentsRefer to the following documents for more information:•The SmartCloud System Description provides an overview of how the SmartCloud system fits within an operator’s network and in an enterprise, describes key features of the system, and provides specifications for the services and radio nodes.•The SmartCloud OS (SCOS) Administrator Guide to configure the software environment and internetworking between the services node and radio node devices.•The SmartCloud Services Node - SCSN 8000 Hardware Installation Guide for hardware specifications and installation instructions.•The SCOS NB Data Model Reference for details about objects and parameters that comprise the system configuration and operational state.
