GoBeam 5100/6100 Safety Information
RF E posure
This equipment complies with the FCC RF radiation exposure
limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum
distance of 20cm between the radiator and any part of your
body.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be fixed-
mounted on indoor or outdoor permanent structures with a
separation distance indoor network device.
The antennas used have an -Type connector in compliance
with FCC 15.203 Antenna Requirement.
The purpose of the lightning protection is to protect people and
equipment located indoors from lightning that might strike the
GoBeam 5100/6100 or its outdoor cables. Therefore, the lightning
protector device should be installed indoors, as close as possible
to the point where the cables enter the building.
The lightning protector can also be installed outdoors, as long as
the cables that go from the lightning protector to the indoors are
well protected from lightning between the box and the building
entrance.
Verify that you have shared grounding. Go et Systems offers a
lightning protector that can be ordered separately.
Installation Codes
This device must be installed according to the latest version of the
country national electrical codes. For orth America, equipment
must be installed in accordance to the applicable requirements in
the US ational Electrical Code and the Canadian Electrical Code.
The device must be professionally installed

Paratonnerre pour GoBeam 5100/6100
Un paratonnerre est nécessaire lorsque le point d’accès GoBeam
5100/6100 est installe à l’extérieur et lié à un network intérieur
par un câble Ethernet.
La fonction du paratonnerre est de protéger les personnes et
équipement situés en intérieur des éclairs qui pourraient frapper
le GoBeam 5100/6100 ou son câble extérieur. Par conséquent, le
paratonnerre doit être installé en intérieur le plus près possible du
point où le câble de liaison pénètre le bâtiment.
Le paratonnerre peut aussi être installé en extérieur à la condition
que les câbles a l’intérieur du bâtiment soient protégés des éclairs
entre le point d‘accès et l’entrée du bâtiment
Vérifier que la prise de terre est partagée. Go et Systems met a
disposition à la vente un paratonnerre.

Installation
The installation process for the GoBeam 5100/6100 is described
below. The differences between the GoBeam 5100 and the
GoBeam 6100 installation process are noted.
Specific installation may require different Power/Ethernet
connections. See Cable Connections, page 21 for more details.
Installation Process
Installing the GoBeam 5100/6100 involves the following steps:
1. Performing a Site Survey.
2. Assembling and Mounting.
3. Mounting the GoBeam 5100/6100 unit.
4. Connecting the cables.
5. Powering up the unit and configuring the software.
6. Performing a Post-installation Testing Procedure to verify
connectivity and operation.
Site Survey
Most wireless LA s include many access points installed in various
locations in an overlapping radio-cell pattern. It is important to
carefully identify each access point’s position and the assignment
of its radio channels. Therefore, a site survey becomes an
essential first step before physically deploying the GoBeam
5100/6100.
Installation of the access points requires backhaul. The backhaul
connection can be a mesh configuration, an Ethernet-wired
connection, or a third-party solution. When using any method
other than a wired connection, keep in mind the GoBeam
5100/6100 requires good reception on its backhaul side in order
to avoid limiting the performance of the access-channel.
Conclude the site survey with a detailed plan of the GoBeam
system deployment. The system deployment plan should include
GoBeam 5100/6100 mounting points and the routes for the power
and backhaul cables.

GoBeam 5100/6100 Installation Guide 7
Assembling the GoBeam 5100 Antennas
The GoBeam 5100 supports either four or six antennas.
• Four Wi-Fi antennas used for user access, which operate on
the 2.4 GHz band, marked A1 to A4 ( MBW-A T-2407S) .
• Two optional antennas are used for the mesh networking
connections, which operate on the 5 GHz band, marked
B1 and B2.
GoBeam 5100 Wi-Fi antennas
To mount the Wi-Fi antennas on the GoBeam 5100:
1. Attach the four 2.4 GHz band antennas to terminals A1 to
A4 and screw all antennas into place by hand. Rotate each
antenna at its metallic base. The antennas should rotate
easily. Tighten the antenna by hand only. Do not apply
excessive force by using any tool, as this may damage the
unit.
Figure 1: GoBeam 5100 2.4 GHz Band An ennas Ins alla ion
2.4 GHz
An ennas

8 GoBeam 5100/6100 Installation Guide
2. Insert the four 2.4 GHz band antennas into the Antenna
Support Plate. The antennas must be inserted evenly, so
that the plate is level and all the antennas are protruding
the same amount. The purpose of the support plate is to
stabilize the antennas and keeps them aligned at all times.
The plate is meant to fit tightly. Use a bit of force if
necessary.

GoBeam 5100 Mesh antennas
The mesh antennas are optional and assembly is described below
in Attaching Mesh Antennas, page 20.
Assembling and Mounting the GoBeam 5100/6100
The universal mount is used to attach and secure the GoBeam
5100/6100 to a wall, a streetlight arm, or a variety of poles.
The GoBeam 5100/6100 mounting consists of the following stages
and should be performed in the following order:
1. Connect the GoBeam 5100/6100 unit to the brackets using the
‘L’ adaptor.
2. Secure the mounting brackets to a streetlight arm, wall, or
pole.
3. Assemble the GoBeam 5100/6100 unit to the bracket.
4. Ground the GoBeam 5100/6100 unit.
5. Adjust the GoBeam 5100/6100 unit.
6. For pole mounting, install the security cable.
