TCM SECTOR SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION GUIDE Overview This document includes the system information and installation guide for the TCM Sector. Please be sure to read the system information and installation warnings carefully before installing the product!
The TCM Sector is a flexible platform with the capability of access point, bridge, and workgroup bridge functionality. The TCM Sector Provides high speed and cost effective wireless connectivity. Building a metropolitan area wireless infrastructure with the TCM Sector provides deployment personnel with a flexible, easy to use solution that meets the security requirements of wide area networking professionals. System information Cisco Router Cisco851 is integrated into the TCM Sector. This system supports the 802.11b/g standard providing 54 Mbps data rates with a proven, secure technology. SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION GUIDE 1 Installation:
The multi-function mount provides a method for mounting the TCM Sector on a mast, tower, or a roof mount and consists of two parts:
TCM Sector bracketattaches to the back of the unit. Mast bracketattaches to the mast, tower, or roof mount. The basic mounting procedure is shown below:
1. Mount the TCM Sector bracket to the mounting lugs on the Sector. 2. Mount the mast bracket to the tower or mast using the supplied U-
bolts or appropriately sized user-supplied U-bolts. 3. Suspend the TCM Sector on to the mast bracket using the support pins. 4. Secure the TCM Sector bracket to the mast bracket using the supplied nuts, bolts, and washers (hand tighten). 5. Connect the ground wire to the outdoor mounted TCM Sector using the supplied ground lug. 6. Connect the power cable to the power 7. Connect the data cable. 8. Tighten the nuts and bolts. SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION GUIDE 2 OUTDOOR INSTALLATION WARNING IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
LIVES MAY BE AT RISK!
Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions that are included with the equipment you are installing. IMPORTANT Look over the site before beginning any installation, and anticipate possible hazards, especially the following:
CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL. Make sure no power lines are anywhere where possible contact can be made. Antennas, masts, towers, guy wires or cables may lean or fall and contact these lines. People may be injured or killed if they are touching or holding any part of equipment when it contacts electric lines. Make sure there is NO possibility that equipment or personnel can come in contact directly or indirectly with power lines. Assume all overhead lines are power lines. The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line should be at least twice the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This will ensure that the mast will not contact power if it falls either during installation or later. SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION GUIDE 3 TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND. Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation. Dont work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens. Use approved non-conducting ladders and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good repair. If a tower or mast begins falling, dont attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall. If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line, DONT TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. Instead, save your life by calling the power company. Dont attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days. MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND ELECTRICAL CABLES CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS. This will help prevent fire damage or human injury in case of lightning, static build-up, or short circuit within equipment connected to the antenna. The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the building protective Ground or to one or more approved grounding rods, using 1 OAWG ground wire and corrosion- Resistant connectors. Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details. SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION GUIDE 4 IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND CANNOT MOVE DONT TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED. Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them so they no longer are in contact with electrical power. Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are certified, and make sure that emergency medical aid has been requested. SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION GUIDE 5 Interference Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Warning: Changes or modifications not expressively approved by the Party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment Information to the user NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Any changes or modifications of equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the users authority to operate the equipment and the companys warranty. The device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. When this device is installed either as a fixed-mount or mobile application there is a minimum required separation distance of 21 cm from users. SYSTEM AND INSTALLATION GUIDE 6 Initial Configuration Installing the Cisco Router and Security Device Manager Initial Configuration Using Cisco SDM Initial Configuration Using the Setup Command Facility Verifying the Initial Configuration Installing Cisco Router and Security Device Manager Once you have completed the cable connections and powered up the TCM Sector, we recommend that you use the Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) web-based application to configure the initial TCM Sector settings. To install the SDM for configuring the router, follow these steps:
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Initial Configuration Using the SDM Connect a PC to the TCM Sector console port. Insert the SDM software CD into the CD drive of the PC to launch an installation wizard. Install the SDM by following the instructions on the installation wizard user Interface. Use the SDM to configure the TCM Sector. Yourname con0 is now available Press RETURN to get started. If the following messages appear at the end of the startup sequence, the SDM is installed on the TCM Sector router:
Initial Configuration Using the Setup Command Facility This section describes how to use the setup command facility to configure a hostname for the router, set passwords, and configure an interface for communication with the management network. If the following messages appear at the end of the startup sequence, the setup command facility has been invoked automatically:
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help. Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt. Default settings are in square brackets '[]'. Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
The setup command facility prompts you for basic information about your router and network, and it creates an initial configuration file. After the configuration file is created, you can use the CLI or Security Device Manager to perform additional configuration.
