Installing Motorola MC-802 Wireless WallPlate
The MC-802 Wireless WallPlate is a new addition to the PowerBroadband product family. This
application note details specific topologies and best practices used for the installation of the
Wireless WallPlate. To set the proper context, we’ll start with a short introduction of the T3
PowerBroadband system. Key concepts used throughout the document are covered in Appendix
A. Best practice recommendations include a limited site survey procedure to determine
installation density.
T3 PowerBroadband System
The T3 system from Motorola is designed primarily for hospitality, but useful in any high density
MDU type installation. The T3 PowerBroadband Switch is installed in the central phone room of a
hotel or MDU, where it is cross connected onto the existing telephone wiring. The centrally
installed T3 PowerBroadband Switch has 25 ports for downstream CPEs, and 2 x GigE uplink
ports.
Two different types of remote CPEs are supported. The CPEs are installed in a hotel guest room
or any RJ11 jack within the MDU. The CPEs are designed as a wall plate form factor, and draw
operating power over the same telephone wire pair as broadband backhaul. Due to the form
factor, the name “WallPlate” is used to describe the CPE.
