Motorola Canopy Backhaul Module user manual Networking Information, Lightning Protection

Networking Information

The Canopy access point module will each use an IP address on the operator’s network. It is recommended that the access point modules never be placed directly onto the Internet. IP addresses may be assigned sequentially clockwise around an access point cluster for easier manageability. The operator will also need to identify the appropriate subnet mask and network gateway each of the modules.

From the factory, each access point module is assigned a unique MAC address and the following default networking information:

•IP address of 169.254.1.1

•Subnet mask of 255.255.0.0

•Network gateway of 169.254.0.0

Lightning Protection

•The Canopy access point module, cluster management module, and GPS antenna must be mounted at least 2 feet below the highest point at the site for lightning strike mitigation. It is highly recommended that the site have a lightning protection system installed.

•Ensure the location is properly grounded for lightning protection according to all applicable national and local codes.

•To protect operator equipment from surges on the Ethernet cable that is connected to the Canopy System, the Canopy surge suppressor must be used.

Electrical Requirements

•Specifications for the voltages and distance can be found in the Specification section of this manual.

•Make certain the installation conforms to the National Electrical Code (NEC), country and local codes. If uncertain of code requirements, obtain the services of a licensed electrician.
