CHAPTER 2 2.1 Introduction It is important, when installing the Nokia Wireless Router, that the unit is not installed where it could be either damaged by its environment, or pose a hazard for the user. In this respect, when installing the unit be aware of the following Hazard Warnings and Regulatory Safety Requirements Nokia RoofTop™...
Page 42: Hazard Warnings
• Because antennas and wireless routers are elevated metal objects with connections to ground, they attract lightning. Attach an effective ground to the antenna and router to provide a safe path for the lightning. Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide...
Page 43: Regulatory Safety Requirements
Co-location - In order to avoid degradation of performance, it is recommended that the antennas be placed at least one meter (3 feet) apart. • The Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router and its associated components must be installed and configured by a trained professional. Awaiting table from Nokia SMEs NOTE: Nokia RoofTop™...
Page 44 Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide...
Page 45: Site Survey
For a directional link with a single antenna, there is only one RF path. For an omnidirectional antenna, determine all RF paths. The RF path can be determined by knowing the relative bearing from the current site to adjacent sites. Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide...
Page 46 Select the antenna type to be used The wireless router is supplied with an omnidirectional antenna, but on rare occasions a directional antenna may need to be used, depending on area and topography. (See also Section 3.1.2 Antenna selection, below) Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide...
Page 47: Line Of Sight Analysis
Visual line of sight exists when an imaginary straight line can be drawn between two antennas without passing through any physical obstructions. Verifying visual line of sight is the first step in planning the Nokia Wireless Router System installation. Observation points must be high enough to allow the viewer to see over ground based obstructions.
Page 48: Antenna Selection
3.1.2 Antenna selection 3.1.2.1 General In most installations, it is not necessary to be concerned about antenna selection. The Nokia Wireless Router is supplied with an omnidirectional antenna which is good for most installations. Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide...
Page 49 Directional antennas are useful for long distance or point-to-point NOTE: contacts, but prevent future growth of the network, by preventing the wireless router from repeating signals to other units. They should be used only when where an omnidirectional antenna will not work. Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router Installation Guide...
Page 50 Directional antennas - radiation pattern side view In Nokia Wireless Router Networks, use a directional antenna only if: • There are numerous obstructions in the area • The nearest router is a considerable distance away • The router is in a location where it does not need to route traffic for other subscribers and itself requires a maximum link distance to the neighboring router.

• A shielded multiwire cable containing 7 twisted pairs of wires. This is used to connect the wireless router with the NPU. Nokia provides several different lengths of cable with D-Connectors already installed to the end of the cable. The multiwire cable must be Cat-5 cable, size AWG 22 or 24.
Page 56 “Wall plate” for cable feed-through into house. - Check with Petri 5.1.1.1 RF-cable for non-integral antenna Nokia provides a flexible jumper cable for the connection between a router and a directional antenna. NOTE: When using an RF cable instead of the integral antenna, a special RF adapter must be used (Nokia Code: WR 468993A).
