IntroductionORiNOCO® 802.11n Access Points - Hardware Installation Guide 71.3 Multiple-Input-Multiple-OutputORiNOCO® Access Point devices support Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna technology that uses multipleantennas at both the transmitting end and receiving end to improve communication performance. The underlying technologyof these access point radio(s) are based on a combination of MIMO and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing).MIMO-OFDM combination radios solve interference, fading and multipath problems. Having multiple receivers at thereceiving end, increases the amount of received power and also reduces multipath problems by combining the receivedsignals for each frequency component separately. Hence, MIMO significantly improves the overall gain. MIMO also uses Spatial multiplexing transmission technique to transmit independent and separately encoded data signalsfrom each of the multiple transmit antennas while reusing or multiplexing in the space dimension. These independent datasignals are called Spatial streams. The transmitting end of the device uses multiple radio Tx chains and signal paths tosimultaneously transmit different data streams, whereas the receiving end combines the Rx signals resulting in higherthroughput. By increasing the number of receiving and transmitting antennas, the throughput of the channel increases linearly resulting inhigh spectral efficiency.

Only, the regularoutdoor antennas connected via a pigtail conversion cable, offering a standard connector type for antenna connection,require a professional installation.: Optionally, you can use the Range Extended Antenna (REA), which has 3 x RP SMA plug, that can be easily connected to the device.Perform the following steps to assemble the antennas:1. Hand-tighten the antennas clockwise, onto the external connectors of the device until they are attached firmly.2. Position the antennas close to the horizontal surface (ceiling or wall), so as to get the maximum signal coverage of the omni-directional antenna.2.1.4.2 Step 2: Mount the DeviceConsider the following precautions, before mounting the device:•The device must be protected from exposure, and the environmental conditions must be within those specified in theproduct datasheet, that can be found at http://support.proxim.com.•Ensure to use a +5V/3.5 A power adapter, to power on the device.: • Note that the device is build with fire retardant ATX200 resin and can be installed in the plenum. In an office building, plenum is the space between the structural ceiling and the tile ceiling that is provided to help air circulate. Many companies also use the plenum to house communication equipment and cables. These products and cables must comply with certain safety requirements, such as Underwriter Labs (UL) and Standard 2043: “Standards for Fire Test for Heat and Visible Smoke Release for Direct Products and Their Accessories installed in Air-Handling Spaces”.• When installed in a plenum, the device must use PoE.Accessory Image110-220V worldwide Power AdapterRange Extender Antenna (REA)Gigabit Ethernet PoE

ORiNOCO® 802.11n Access Points - Hardware Installation Guide 26AGlossary and AbbreviationsGlossaryAAccess point A wireless network transceiver or “base station” hub, often used toconnect a local area network to one or more wireless devices. An accesspoint (also called AP) can provide a communication link to a wired localarea network also. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) It is a symmetric-key encryption standard, containing three block ciphersAES-128, AES-192, AES-256. Each of these ciphers has a 128-bit blocksize, with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits, respectively.DDual-Band Dual-band refers to a device's ability to function on two different frequency bands.HHTTP/HTTPS Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the protocol to transport Web pages.When you access the Internet with your browser, the HTTP protocol isused for data transport (http://www.Tsunamiwireless.com). When youaccess the unit by using the Web Interface, HTTP is used to transport theinformation. HTTPS is the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol.MManagement Information Base (MIB) A Management Information Base (MIB) is a formal description of a set ofnetwork objects that can be managed with the Simple NetworkManagement Protocol (SNMP). A MIB can be loaded by a managementapplication so that it knows the unit specific objects.OOrthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)OFDM is a frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) scheme, a method ofencoding digital data on multiple carrier frequencies. A large number ofclosely spaced orthogonal sub-carrier signals are used to carry data. Thedata is divided into several parallel data streams/channels, one for eachsub-carrier, maintaining total data rates similar to conventionalsingle-carrier modulation schemes in the same bandwidth.

By using ScanTool, you can•Scan devices (Proxim devices only) available on the network•Obtain device’s IP address•Modify device’s IP Configuration parameters (IP Address, Address Type, Gateway and so on)•Launch the Web interface•Switch between the network adapters, if there are multiple network adapters in the Personal ComputerSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)A protocol used for the communication between a network managementapplication and the devices it is managing. The network managementapplication is called the SNMP manager and the devices it manages willhave SNMP agents. Not only the unit but also almost every network devicecontains a SNMP agent. The manageable objects of a device are arrangedin a Management Information Base, also called MIB. The Simple NetworkManagement Protocol (SNMP) allows managers and agents tocommunicate for accessing these objects.Single-Band Single-band refers to a device's ability to function only on one frequencyband.TTCP / IP The TCP/IP internet-suite protocol describes a set of general designguidelines and implementations of specific networking protocols toenable computers to communicate over a network. TCP/IP providesend-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be formatted,addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination.Telnet Telnet is a network protocol used on the Internet or local area networks toaccess the command-line interface, on a remote host. Most networkequipment and operating systems with a TCP/IP stack support a Telnetservice for remote configuration.Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a lightweight protocol for transferringfiles that is like a simple form of File Transfer Protocol (FTP). A TFTP client isimplemented on the unit. By using the upload and download commands,the unit can copy a file to or from a TFTP server.VVLAN The Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) feature helps in logical grouping ofnetwork host on different physical LAN segments, which cancommunicate with each other as if they are all on the same physical LANsegment.
