2.2.2 Connections for Deployment
WARNING: To
comply with FCC
regulations, antennas
must be professionally
installed and the install-
er is responsible for en-
suring compliance with
FCC limits.
Review the Safety Requirements in (Section 2.1.1) before
installing or operating the ES2440.
1 Ground the ES2440 by connecting a ground wire to the
ES2440’s grounding stud located on the left rear corner of
the chassis (refer to Figure 2.1).
2 If your deployment uses Radio 1, connect a standard
2.4 GHz- or 5 GHz-capable antenna with an N-type male
connector, to antenna port 1 (Ant1).
CAUTION: The
FCC requires co-
located radio antennas
to be at least 7.9" apart.
The Mesh Point’s anten-
na connectors are closer
than this. Avoid direct-
ly mounting two or
more antennas to the
Mesh Point’s rear-panel
connectors.
If your deployment uses Radio 2, 3, and/or 4, connect an
antenna cable with a N-type male connector between the
appropriate antenna port(s) (see Figure 2.2) and a high-
gain omnidirectional or directional antenna.
If the Mesh Point or its antenna(s) will be located outside,
the antenna(s) must be waterproof.
Antennas used with the ES2440 must have a maximum
gain of 9 dBi and 50 Ohms impedance.
3 If the Mesh Point’s GPS function will be used, connect an
SMA GPS antenna to the
GPS antenna port.
4 If your deployment includes Ethernet connections, make
them now, using standard Cat5e cable(s), to
Ethernet1/
WAN/POE
(default encrypted), Ethernet2 and/or Ethernet3
(both default clear)
.
5 Connect the Mesh Point (or verify its connection to) to the
power source it will use.
6 Verify that the Power and Status LEDs illuminate, as well as
the corresponding LEDs for all connected ports and
enabled radio(s).
LED indicators are covered in Section 3.1
2.3 Mast Mounting the ES2440
The Mast-Mounting Kit accommodates masts from 1.5" to 3" in
diameter.
1 Fit the two hex bolts through the center mounting holes
along the Mesh Point's sides, top to bottom.
2 Fix each bolt to the Mesh Point chassis with a split-lock
washer followed by a wing nut, tightened securely to the
underside of the Mesh Point.
3 Position the Mesh Point at the desired position on the mast,
with the Mesh Point’s underside facing toward the mast and
the front panel facing down, as shown in Figure 2.3.
4 Sandwiching the mast between the underside of the Mesh
Point and the mounting bracket, fit the mast into the
toothed cut-outs in the mounting bracket and the bolt shafts
