Installation guide

Installation instructions
The Mobility 300 mounts either on a wall with mounting screws or in the ceiling.
To prepare for installation, perform the following steps:
1. Match the part number on the purchase order with the part numbers in the
packing list and on the case of the device shipped.
2. Verify that the contents of the box include the Mobility 300 and mounting
hardware:
3. Review site survey and network analysis reports to determine the location
and mounting position for the Mobility 300.
4. Connect a CAT-5 cable to a compatible 802.3af power source and run the
cable to the installation site. Ensure that there is sufficient slack on the
cable to perform the installation steps.
Wall mount
Wall mounting requires hanging the Mobility 300 along its width or length using
the pair of slots on the bottom of the unit. The Mobility 300 can be mounted onto
any plaster, wood, or cement wall surface using the provided wall anchors when
necessary. The illustration shows a lengthwise mount
Item Notes
Mobility 300 802.11a and 802.11b/g configurations with external RSMA (.11a
radio) and RBNC (.11g radio) antenna connectors. The antennae
are separate purchasable items.
Mounting Hardware: Two Phillips pan head self-tapping screws.
Wall mount hardware
• Two Phillips pan head self-tapping screws
• Two wall anchors
• Safety wire (recommended) and security cable (optional)
Note: In the event that the original mounting screws are lost, the following screws
can be used instead:(ANSI Standard) #6-18 X 0.875in. Type A or AB Self-Tapping
Screw, or (ANSI Standard Metric) M3.5 X 0.6 X 20mm Type D Self-Tapping Screw
Wall mount procedure
1. Orient the case on the wall by its width or length.
2. Using the arrows on one edge of the case as guides,
move the edge to the midline of the mounting area and mark points on the
midline for the screws.
3. At each point, drill a hole in the wall, insert an anchor, screw into the anchor
the wall mounting screw and stop when there is 1mm between the screw
head and the wall.
Note: When pre-drilling a hole the recommended hole size is 2.8mm (0.11in.) if
the screws are going directly into the wall and 6mm (0.23in.) if the provided wall
anchors are being used.
4. If required, loop a safety wire, between 1.5mm (.06in.) and 2.5mm (.10in.)
in diameter, around the tie post and secure the loop.
5. If required, install and attach a security cable to the unit’s lock port.
6. Place the large corner of each of the case’s mount slots over the screw
heads.
7. Slide the case down along the mounting surface to hang the mount slots on
the screw heads.
8. Attach appropriate antennas to the connectors.
9. Attach the Ethernet cable to the unit and to a switch with an 802.3af
compatible power source.
10. Verify the unit has power by observing that the LEDs are lit or flashing.
Alignment Arrows
Suspended ceiling tile (plenum) mount
Ceiling mount requires placing the Mobility 300 above a suspended ceiling and
installing the provided light pipe for viewing the status lights of the unit.
Note: Notes or warnings about suspended ceiling mounts apply to all
installations where the unit is placed on suspended ceiling tile. The case has a
safety wire tie point for a standard safety wire.
Caution: Brocade does not recommend mounting the Mobility 300 directly to any
suspended ceiling tile with a thickness less than 12.7mm (0.5in.) or a
suspended ceiling tile with an unsupported span greater than 660mm (26in.).
Brocade strongly recommends fitting the Mobility 300 with a safety wire suitable
for the specific installation. The safety wire should be a standard ceiling
suspension cable or equivalent steel wire between 1.59mm (.062in.) and 2.5mm
(.10in.) in diameter.
This placement requires installation of the provided light pipe for viewing the
status lights of the unit.
Ceiling mount hardware
•Light pipe
• Badge for light pipe
•Decal for badge
• Safety wire (recommended) and security cable (optional)
Ceiling mount procedure
1. If possible, remove the ceiling tile from its frame and place it, finished side
down, on a work surface.
2. If required, install a safety wire, between 1.5mm (.06in.) and 2.5mm (.10in.) in
diameter, in the ceiling space.
3. If required, install and attach a security cable to the unit’s lock port.
4. Mark a point on the upper or unfinished side of the tile.
5. Push the light pipe through the tile at the mark and remove the light pipe. If
necessary, use a drill to make a hole in the tile.
6. Snap the clips of the light pipe into the bottom of the case.
7. Fit the light pipe into hole in the tile from its unfinished side.
8. Place the decal on the back of the badge and snap the badge onto the light
pipe from the finished side of the tile.
9. Attach appropriate antennas to the connectors.
10. Attach any safety wire to the safety wire tie point or security cable to the unit’s
lock port.
11. Bring the tile into the ceiling space.
12. Plug the Ethernet cable into the the unit and to a switch with an 802.3af-
compatible power source.
13. Verify the unit has power by observing the LEDs.
14. Place the ceiling tile back in its frame.
