SecureMesh TM Gateway Installation Guide INTRODUCTION The SecureMesh™ Gateway performs the function of being the network takeout point and root note. As the root node of the SecureMesh Wide Area Network (WAN), it coordinates all of the nodes in its wireless mesh network, providing a low-latency, high-bandwidth, self-forming, self-balancing, and self-healing wireless network.

SecureMesh TM Gateway Installation Guide PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION Required Equipment  A power supply, typically one of the power supplies listed as a Gateway accessory. For all outdoor installations, the PSU-1024-33A SecureMesh Power Service Unit is recommended unless an Uninterruptible Power Supply is available.  A CAT5e, UV-protected, Shielded-Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cable with ground wire for connecting the Gateway’s Surge Protector to the PoE power supply.
PAGE 7
SecureMesh TM Gateway Installation Guide Installation Location In general, a SecureMesh Gateway should be installed in a location that will not obstruct the radio signals to and from the SecureMesh Gateway. The SecureMesh Gateway should be installed in a location that meets all of the following guidelines:  Installation and wiring of the SecureMesh Gateway must conform to all local electrical codes and ordinances.
PAGE 8
SecureMesh TM Gateway Installation Guide Pre-provisioning Certain information is necessary in a Gateway other than the factory defaults that must be entered locally using the command line interpreter (CLI). Please refer to the ―Trilliant Network Element Management System (NEMS) Administration Guide‖ (Trilliant document number TLT-CS-ADM-94) for complete information.

SecureMesh TM Gateway Installation Guide Utility Pole or Tower Installation To install a Gateway on a utility pole or a tower, observe the following procedures: Mounting the Device Mount the Bracket  The DK-0029A vertical pole mounting bracket has an extension arm and a mounting pole as shown on the right. Mount the equipment extension arm to the utility pole or tower using bolts or bands.

SecureMesh TM Gateway Installation Guide Grounding and Protecting the Device Attach the Surge Protector The surge protector box should be attached to the bottom of the Gateway. The surge protector will be attached using the ground screw as a pivot point then the box will be swung into place against a mounting bracket screw.
PAGE 11
SecureMesh TM Gateway Installation Guide Connecting the Device to a Source of Power The Power Service Unit should be used to provide PoE power and battery backup for the Gateway. Please refer to the Power Service Unit Installation Guide for more information (Trilliant document PL-0042A, Installation Guide, SecureMesh 24V PSU). Connect the Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector to the Surge Protector. Both power and data are provided over the Ethernet cable connection to the Gateway.
PAGE 12
SecureMesh TM Gateway Installation Guide Completing the installation  Check the connections and close the device Check to ensure all connections and grounding are proper, and replace the surge protector’s cover and the Ethernet connection cover on the base of the Gateway. These screws should be tightened to 15 foot-pounds (20 Newton-meters) of torque.

SecureMesh TM Gateway Installation Guide Streetlight Pole Mounting and Grounding To install a Gateway on a streetlight, observe the following procedures: Mounting the Device Mount the Bracket     Chose one of the two available Streetlight Installation Kits from the Gateway accessory list. The kits vary only in the length of the cable to attach to the streetlight photo cell.
PAGE 14
SecureMesh TM Gateway Installation Guide Attach The Gateway to the Bracket Use the provided mounting bracket and appropriate length ¼―diameter screws that are provided in the accessory kit to attach the SecureMesh Gateway to the mounting pole (see the figure on the right). Before tightening, rotate the device to ensure there is ample room for the omnidirectional antennas to clear the mount stand and streetlight pole.
PAGE 15
SecureMesh TM Gateway Installation Guide Connecting the Device to a Source of Power The Streetlight Installation Kit is to be used with constantly powered streetlights that use standard photocell adapters. The Streetlight Installation Kit is complete with an A/C to D/C power supply that also provides surge protection.

SecureMesh TM Gateway Installation Guide APPENDIX A Grounding Guidelines Proper grounding protects both your SecureMesh device and any equipment connected to it. For the surge protection circuitry built into the SecureMesh equipment to be effective, proper grounding of the unit is necessary. Protection is essential if the unit is installed on tall structures or in areas subject to lightning.
PAGE 19
SecureMesh TM Gateway Installation Guide Making Robust and Lasting Connections Regardless of the grounding point you use, make sure the connections are capable of retaining low resistance and integrity over time and with exposure to the elements by use of an antioxidant compound. For protection against corrosion and rust, wrap all connections with a product such as Scotch® 130C or 2228 Rubber Mastic Tape.
