Deployment
When deploying the WSM6300, the antenna should be a minimum of 30 inches from any
nearby metal poles to avoid distortion of the RF pattern. The antenna must have a separation
distance of at least 2 meters from the body of all persons and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Users and installers must be
provided with antenna installation and transmitter operating conditions to satisfy RF exposure
compliance.
Deployment Tips
1. Locate the antenna to minimize multipath
2. Minimize interference from nearby transmitters
3. Maximize chance of a direct line of sight connection to other devices.
4. Ensure that the antenna supplied is vertically polarized.
Testing
Verify the operation of the WSM6300 using the following procedure:
1. Apply power to the WSM6300.
2. Obtain the MAC address that was recorded earlier in the WSM6300 MAC Addresses
Table section of this document. The address will be in the format 00-05-12-0A-xx-yy for
the Transceiver MAC address.
3. From MeshManager, display devices using the MAC address.
4. Select the appropriate WSM in the device tree, and then ping the device (right click and
select ping).
A successful response to the ping command verifies that the WSM is communicating to the
infrastructure devices.
A WSM6300 is compatible with any of Motorola MEA wireless network devices and may be
used in a similar fashion as other infrastructure devices. MeshManager software is used to
manage a WSM6300 in the MEA network.
The following list defines the standard MEA hardware components required to install a WSM:
• WSM6300 Box with N-type Antenna Connector and Antenna (user must specify antenna
type from the approved antenna list below).
• WSM6300 External Power Cable and serial interface connector must be terminated by
the customer for the intended application. Refer to the following table for proper
connections.
The Network Operator must supply the following:
• Mounting
Location
• Power Source (5-14.0V DC)
• Hand tools for installation
