Trapeze Networks
Installing and Connecting an MP
Installation Requirements and Recommendations
For best results, follow these requirements and recommendations before installing a MP-632.
RingMaster Network Plan and Work Orders
If you are using RingMaster to plan your Trapeze Networks Mobility System installation, you might
want to create and verify a network plan for the entire Trapeze network installation and generate an
MP work order, before installing MP access points. A network plan and the MP work orders
generated from it provide the following information about MP access point installation and
configuration:
❑ Number of MPs required for adequate WLAN capacity in each coverage area
❑ Detailed installation location for each MP
❑ Settings for all MP access points in the WLAN
MX Appliance Recommendation
Trapeze Networks recommends that you install and configure the MX before installing an MP. If the
MX is already installed and configured for the MPs, you can immediately verify the cable
connection(s) when you plug the cable(s) into the MP.
Weather Conditions
When planning a MP-632 installation, you must take into account any extreme weather conditions
that are known to affect your location. Consider the following factors:
Temperature
Operating an MP in temperatures outside of the supported range may cause the unit to fail. The
MP-632 is tested for an ambient operating temperature range of -40°C to +55°C.
Wind Velocity
You must consider the known maximum wind velocity and direction at the site and be sure that
any supporting structure, such as a pole, mast, or tower, is built to withstand this force. The
MP-632 can operate in winds up to 90 MPH and survive higher wind speeds up to 125 MPH.
Note:
Before installing an MP, you might need to generate a network plan and an MP
work order with RingMaster. (See RingMaster Network Plan and Work Orders
below.)
W arning!
The MP-632 is designed to receive power only from a Trapeze-provided power
injector.
