Safety Warnings
MSR2000 must be installed by trained professional installation technician. All
below warning information must be read before installation.
General Safety Warnings
Always be aware of electrical power lines!
You can be killed or injured if performing antenna installation near electrical
power lines. Carefully read and follow all instructions in this guide. Please be sure
there are no high voltage and electronic field.
Lightning Activity Warning
Make sure not to connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning acti ity.
A surge protective device should be installed to prevent potential damage from
very high surges, for instance, the peak surges caused by lightning.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Do not operate wireless network device close to explosive merchandise or
environment, for example, a vicinity to a gas station.
Antenna Placement Warning
Installation Guide Wireless Broadband Anywhere Anytime VII

Azalea MSR2000 Installation Guide
Do not install any antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light, or
where the antenna can come into contact with such circuits. When installing antennas,
take extreme care not to come into contact with such electrical circuits, as they can
cause serious injury or death.
Grounding Warning
Please always remember to protect your MSR2000 system by installation of
grounding lines. The ground connection must be complete before connecting power to
the MSR2000 enclosure. The requirement of grounding is to make sure the resistance
must be less than ohm between the ground termination point to grounding tier.
Po er Installation Warning
The installation of power switch must be performed by a trained professional
technician.
The power switch is not supplied with the MSR2000. The power cord must be
assembled by a professional installer, and the final assembly must comply with related
requirements.
Solar Irradiation and high Temperature Protection
Please pay attention of sunlight which will make the working temperature of
MSR2000 higher then the specification

Preparation of Installation
2.1 Site Survey
Below chart shows general circle of mesh network deployment, and site
surveyis is very important step in it to secure the solution works. All design
aspects, such as site locations, site hunting, antenna height, antenna azimuth,
antenna type, antenna downtilt degree, feeder length will be determined by site
survey. The modification of solution could be done due to the availability of site
is different with solution.
2.2 Site Survey Tools
The site survey tools should be prepared and checked before site survey, the
survey tools include:
PC
GPS
Compass
Tape
Digital camera

Spectrum Scanner
Telescope
Spectrum Analyzer
（Can be select）
2.3 The principle of site survey
The principles of site survey of MESH networks are as: Mesh No obstacle in 60% of
the 1
st
fresnel zone. It will secure LOS in most area and the coverage capability is
secured and number of sites could be saved.
1. If no LOS secured, area in NLOS area could be covered as well, but the
distance of coverage and area of coverage are decreased, more sites are
needed to provide coverage for same area than LOS scenario.
2.
Interference must be considered in site suevey and site hunting, site
location should be the place in low interference area to have good quality.
Channel planning could help to avoid interference of narrow band.
2.4 Site Survey
Site survey mainly include site location selection and detail site informaton
recording for selection of antenna and installation material design.
1.1.4 Site location selection
The site survey engineer should be very experienced and certified by Azalea
networks. She/he should have good knowledge of wireless wave propagation,
antenna and antenna near parts, MSR products and experiences in wireless
network deployment.
Site location selection is the most important step of site survey. MESH network
design engineer will do on site analysis of target area and recording all
requirement site data, the site data includes terrain information, end-user
distribution and their behavior, radio environment and the coverage target of
