3 Planning the Powerline MU Network
The Powerline MU network consists of three major design considerations:
•
Canopy wireless devices
•
Powerline MU devices
•
Electrical distribution within the building
3.1 CANOPY WIRELESS
Careful planning of the Canopy segment of your network is essential to successful
installation. Measure distances carefully and examine the physical constraints around
the power line installations.

Install Canopy devices, including Backhauls (BH) as needed, Access Points (APs),
Cluster Management Modules (CMMs) as needed, and Subscriber Modules (SMs)
according to installation information provided in the Canopy System User Guide.
