THE SKYZHONE ACCESS POINT This chapter provides an overview of the SkyZhone Wi-Fi outdoor access point. It includes these sections: • • • Overview, page 11 SkyZhone features, page 13 SkyZhone ordering information, page 19 Overview The SkyZhone access point (Models 1X04) are AC-powered carrier class outdoor Wi-Fi access points with 22 Mbps symmetric DSL backhaul to every unit.
Figure 1: SkyZhone with 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n and 4.9 GHz 802.11a antennae SkyZhone models The SkyZhone AC-powered access point is available in the following models: • SkyZhone-1604 Wi-Fi Access Point Supports wireless radio transmission of 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g, and 4.9 GHz 802.11a, using two separate radios. Four SHDSL lines with EFM Bonding are used for backhaul. 120VAC power is required. • SkyZhone-1404 Wi-Fi Access Point Supports wireless radio transmission of 4.9 GHz 802.11a.
Coverage area With the SkyZhone access point, there is no need to use Wi-Fi links for communication between stations. This eliminates issues associated with buildings, trees, or hilly terrain that can impact node-to-node communications for mesh access points. The SkyZhone access point uses 5dBi antennas that provide a 26-degree beamwidth per antenna. Additionally, the three 2.4 GHz antennas are oriented to provide complete coverage both horizontally and vertically.
SkyZhone access point automatically performs load balancing over the SHDSL lines. Figure 2 shows an example of a SkyZhone network configuration. Figure 2: SkyZhone network configuration The SkyZhone supports 4 SHDSL lines bonded as a single EFM interface and connected to a SHDSL card installed in a SkyZhone Aggregator. Each SHDSL line card in the SkyZhone Aggregator provides 24 ports and each SkyZhone access point uses up to 4 ports. The data rates for the SHDSL card are shown in Table 2.

INSTALLING THE SKYZHONE ACCESS POINT This chapter describes how to mount the SkyZhone access point on a pole or on the side of a building.
Wall-mounting enclosure kit The SkyZhone access point wall-mounting enclosure kit (920-07811-01) contains the following items: • One wall bracket • One paintable decorative cover • 4 (four) tamper-resistant mounting screws to mount the unit to the bracket • 6 (six) mounting screws for the decorative cover • 1 driver bit for the tamper-resistant screws • Not included: 4 screws that will go through the metal bracket, plastic cover and into your wall’s surface.
Mounting the SkyZhone to a pole This section describes the steps to mount a pole for the SkyZhone access point. First select a mounting location. You can attach the SkyZhone access point to any pipe or pole. 1. Attach screw clamp bands to the pole mounting plate by threading them through the slots on the mounting plate. The slots are for either horizontal or vertical mounting on large or small diameter poles. Choose the one most appropriate for this installation.
Figure 9: Mounting plate “strapped” around a pole 3. Tighten and if necessary, trim off any excess tension band. 4. Secure the mounting bracket to the pole, see Figure 11 on page 31. The SkyZhone shelf is attached to the poll-mounting bracket. The shelf may need to be adjusted so that it is level.
Figure 10: Bracket attached to the mounting plate attached to the pole 5. Adjust the shelf until it is level by rotating the unit along the curved slot tracks. 6. Once the unit is level, securely tighten the center nut and four bolts that hold the shelf to the pole mount bracket as shown in Figure 11. 7. Attach the antennas to the unit. Note the antennas are different sizes. The three longer antennas are connected to the top of the unit. The two shorter antennas are mounted to the bottom of the unit.
11. Attach the Ethernet cable if it is being used. 12. Attach the AC power cable 13. Secure the cable(s) to the pole with cable ties to provide strain relief, if needed. _________________________________________________________ Note: This previous procedure showed the SkyZhone station being mounted to a vertical pole. The same instructions apply to the installation on a horizontal pole or any other orientation as shown in the figure below.
Mounting the SkyZhone to the side of a building The wall mount enclosure kit is used when the SkyZhone is mounted to a building. The cover is used to hide the unit for aesthetic purposes. This cover can be painted, which allows the unit to blend in with the building. Figure 12 displays a fully-assembled SkyZhone with its cover.
Figure 13: Contents of wall mount enclosure kit (from left: the lid, the front cover, the bracket and the base) To mount the optional cover: ______________________________________________________ Note: The mounting of the SkyZhone unit should be as high as possible to ensure maximum coverage. A flat surface measuring 24 inches high and 36 inches wide will be needed to mount the unit securely. ______________________________________________________ 1.
Figure 14: Mounting Bracket with screw locations 6. Attach the mounting bracket and the base to the wall (Figure 15). (The base has an UP arrow cut into the plastic casing to ensure in proper orientation.) Use a 1/4 inch drill masonry bit to install a 1 inch plastic insert to secure the cover and the aluminum frame to the concrete wall with the appropriate screws. Figure 15: Bracket and Base 7. Attach the protective cover to the base and then attach the base to the (concrete) wall.
