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.
