Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A Chapter 2. Overview This chapter describes what the SecureMesh CONN-2000 does, the kit and parts, and supplies needed to install it. Description The CONN-2000 is the Smart Distribution end node element of the SecureMesh Wide Area Network (WAN). It provides Layer 2 Ethernet transport at air data rates up to 270 Mbps.
Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A l l l Ethernet surge suppressor: Citel: 521-R0655-01 IEEE802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector: Tycon TP POE 48GD (Trilliant part # 409-0080-00) For mounting the CONN-2000 on horizontal and vertical poles with an outside diameter between 2 and 9 inches: l l Wall mounting accessory bracket: HM-0395A Worm-type hose clamp, 1/2 inches in width. The diameter should be large enough to accommodate the pole and arrestor’s flange.
Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A Chapter 3. Prepare for Installation This chapter provides information on preparing the CONN-2000 for installation.
Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A Note: Radio performance and coverage typically improves as the height increases. l l l The radio signals to and from the CONN-2000, within the Fresnal zone, will not be obstructed. Any nearby structures do not block line of sight radio coverage. Clear of thick trees or brush at installation site. The site must be maintained free of trees in the foreseeable future. Note: Foliage in the line-of-sight to other devices can degrade radio performance.
Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A Guidelines To ensure optimal reliability, properly ground the surge suppressors. Use a 10 AWG or larger wire to connect it to the ground point on the structure. Figure 2 shows a typical installation with ground wires at the surge suppressors (see #2 and #4 Figure 2; both needing grounding or earthing. Your installation may vary.
Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A The three most common earth ground points include the following: 1. The primary ground point or down lead provided by the existing ground system at the site, such as a part of the utility pole structure (see Figure 2). 2. A copper-clad ground rod, 10 ft (3 m) or longer, driven into the earth. At a tower with multiple legs, there typically is one ground rod at each leg and a ground wire loop that connects the rods. 3.
Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A Status Checklist Item Description surge suppressor to the ground system on the utility pole or building. Use a 10 AWG or larger down-lead. Outdoor Ethernet Cable When installing the outdoor Ethernet cable, use the UVprotected, STP, CAT5e (or better) cable that includes a properly terminated drain wire. l l In Figure 2 cable segments #5 and #7 do not need to be shielded.

Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A Figure 5: Pole-mounting Kit PoE Power Injector The CONN-2000 is powered using the standard 802.3af PoE. You can use either: 1. A standalone PoE injector sold separately by Trilliant, or 2. An existing standard PoE switch, if available, at the location. Note: Ensure that the PoE unit is 802.3af compliant, or has a higher capacity.
Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A Accessory Mounting Bracket For horizontal and vertical poles with an outside diameter between 2 and 9 inches, and accessory bracket is available. The accessory bracket is designed to fit with the Lbracket, and attach using a band strap. This is not included in the kit. Figure 7: Accessory Mounting Bracket Notice: The contents of this document are proprietary and confidential and the property of Trilliant Holdings, Inc.
Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A Band Strap or Hose Clamp Use the band strap or hose clamp together with the accessory bracket. This is a standard part carried by many installation contractors, and is not supplied in the CONN2000 kit. Figure 8: Band Strap Example Prepare the Surge Suppressor Trilliant recommends installing a surge suppressor on the RJ45 port, near the device. In many installations, a second surge suppressor may be used at the facility entrance.
Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A 1. If a connector cover is present on the cable, remove it. 2. With a sharp tool such as an Exacto knife, make a small hole like an “x” in the black gasket of the suppressor. Note: Ensure the hole is only large enough for the wires to feed through, and is snug. If the hole is not snug, ants or small bugs might enter and create a nest, which can cause future issues.
Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A 2. If used, mount the ground clamp on the pole, just below the surge suppressor. 3. Mount the surge protector with two hose clamps. The surge suppressor is designed to attach to a vertical pole that could vary in diameter. The suppressor attaches using two standard hose clamps that fit inside the grooved sections at the top and bottom of the housing.
Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A Chapter 4. Mount the Connector This chapter includes the steps to mount the CONN-2000 to a pole, and examples. Attach the Connector to a Pole 1. Attach the L-bracket to the CONN-2000, using the four hex head bolts and lock washers supplied in the hardware kit (see Figure 3 and Figure 5). 2. Affix the U-bolt and serrated gripper for the CONN-2000 through the slots in the fixed part of the adjustable L-bracket, as shown in Figure 11. 3.
Installation Guide for SecureMesh® CONN-2000 - PL-0689A 6. Ensure there is a drip loop between the surge suppressor and the CONN2000. l Keep the length of cable #1 (see Figure 2) to a minimum while forming a drip loop between the CONN-2000 and the surge suppressor. 7. Attach the ground wire from the surge protector to the ground clamp or the site ground point. Note: The maximum allowable total Ethernet cable length should not exceed 330 ft. (100 m).
