CHANNEL PLANS
2.4 GHz modules, frequencies should never be placed closer than 20 MHz. The Cyclone modules
allow the operator to chose frequencies every 2.5 MHz. This is so that in the event of co-location
with other equipment the operator can customize the channel layout for interoperability.
2.4 GHz Recommended Frequencies
The following are the 3 non-overlapping
channels that are recommended:
2.415 GHz
2.435 GHz
2.457 GHz
NETWORKING INFORMATION
The Cyclone access point module will each utilize an IP address on the operator’s network. It is
recommended that the access point modules never be placed directly onto the Internet. IP
addresses may be assigned sequentially clockwise around an access point cluster for easier
manageability. The operator will also need to identify the appropriate subnet mask and network
gateway each of the modules.
From the factory, each access point module is assigned a unique MAC address and the following
default networking information:
IP address of 169.254.1.1
Subnet mask of 255.255.0.0
Network gateway of 169.254.0.0
LIGHTNING PROTECTION
The Cyclone access point module, cluster management module, and GPS antenna must
be mounted at least 2 feet below the highest point at the site for lightning strike mitigation.
It is highly recommended that the site have a lightning protection system installed.
Ensure the location is properly grounded for lightning protection according to all applicable
national and local codes.
To protect operator equipment from surges on the Ethernet cable that is connected to the
Cyclone System, the Cyclone surge suppressor must be used.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Specifications for the voltages and distance can be found in the Specification section of
this manual.
Make certain the installation conforms to the National Electrical Code (NEC), country and
local codes. If uncertain of code requirements, obtain the services of a licensed
electrician.
