The Top-Panel LED The radio node has one top-panel tricolor (RGB) LED to indicate power and status. This is the only LED visible under normal operating conditions. When the radio node initially boots the LED cycles through a number of colors and flashing behaviors until it is fully operational. Status indications: boot, normal, disabled, fault, emergency call, radio node tracking.

Use this injector only when a PoE+ Ethernet switch is not available.
Select the Radio Node Location Radio nodes can be installed in a wide range of locations including walls, ceilings, and spaces above the ceiling. Follow the installation guidelines for selecting appropriate mounting locations for the unit. When mounting a radio node vertically, align the bottom-side fins vertically for superior cooling. Refer to the E-RAN Deployment Planning Guide for information about mounting positioning and the affects on cellular coverage.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-340 Hardware Installation Guide Bracket Mounting and Cabling Guidelines Incorrectly cabling and mounting a radio node can result in crushed cables and loss of communications to the unit. Follow these guidelines in cabling the radio node and mounting it on the bracket: • Ensure that the cabling is properly routed and dressed. • Ensure that the radio node is fully inserted into the mount bracket so that it locks into place and is flush.
Attach the mount bracket to the radio node as shown in Figure 11: R AF T Bracket Keyholes Figure 11 Radio Node Slides into Mount Bracket Installing the Radio Node (Method 1) Use this method with the quarter-inch bracket when routing the Ethernet cable through an opening where the bracket will be mounted. To route the cable directly and mount the radio node D Step 1 Cut a hole in the ceiling or wall to route the Ethernet cable through. Align the hole with the bracket Ethernet cable entry hole.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-340 Hardware Installation Guide Step 2 Route the Ethernet cable through the rectangular hole in the mounting bracket. R AF T Ethernet Cable Entry Hole Figure 12 Mount Bracket with Direct Cable Routing Step 3 With two user-provided screws, attach the mount bracket assembly to a wall or ceiling. The screw holes are sized for an M4 (#10) or larger screw.
Step 5 Insert the radio node into the mount bracket. Step 6 Push as much cable back through the wall or ceiling as possible. The mount bracket assembly has room for some cable slack. Installing the Radio Node (Method 2) Use this method with the 1.25 inch bracket when routing an exposed Ethernet cable directly to the radio node. To route the cable openly and mount the radio node Step 1 With two user-provided screws, attach the mount bracket assembly to a wall or ceiling.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-340 Hardware Installation Guide R AF T Step 2 Insert the RJ-45 connector through the rectangular bracket opening into the Ethernet port as shown in Figure 15: Figure 15 Route and Terminate the Cable Step 3 Insert the radio node into the mount bracket. Completing the Installation D Step 1 Attach a padlock or cable tie wrap into the provided slot to secure the unit to the mount bracket. Figure 16 Padlock and Lock Holes The lock in the above figure is shown schematically.
Detaching the Radio Node from the Mount Bracket To remove the radio node from the bracket assembly Step 1 If needed, remove the padlock or cable tie wrap securing the radio node. Step 2 Slide the radio node out of the mount bracket. Step 3 Detach the RJ-45 clip from the Ethernet port and remove the cable from cable brackets and cable opening. Boot Sequence and Services Node Communication On initial boot, the radio node performs the following boot sequence. When finished, all devices are reachable.
SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-340 Hardware Installation Guide 6. The radio node boots up the received SpiderCloud software package. 7. The radio node establishes an IPsec tunnel with the services node. Based upon the radio configuration, the radio node loads the appropriate protocol elements and joins the network.
