1 Prepare for Installation

Refer to the Installation and Management Guide to aid in choosing a proper installation location.

Unpack the box and ensure all of the components are in the kit. Note down the serial number as it

may be required for support.

2 Assemble the Cable

You will be attaching an outdoor-rated 24 AWG CAT5 cable (diameter .114 to .250 inches/2.9 to

6.4 mm) (not provided) to the Power-over-Ethernet port on the back of the unit and

weatherproofing the assembly later in the installation procedure. First, you must construct the

cable and assemble the weatherproofing cable covers as described in the following steps. Proxim

greatly simplifies this assembly process by offering pre-assembled CAT5 cable kits in 25m, 50m,

and 75m lengths (part numbers 69819, 69820, and 69821, respectively).

1. Slide the sealing nut (A) over the bare end of the CAT5 cable.

2. Slide the lock nut (B) over the bare end of the CAT5 cable.

3. lide the sealing cap (C) over the bare end of the CAT5 cable. Make sure the red rubber gasket

is inside the cap.

4. Apply two wraps of 0.5” wide Teflon tape around 4 the threads of the lock nut (B) that will go

inside the sealing cap.

5. Thread the lock nut (B) onto the sealing cap (C), and hand tighten.

6. Terminate the RJ45 connectors (D) to both ends of the CAT5 cable; test for proper wiring using

a straight-through cable.

3 Determine Proper Mounting Orientation

Locate the arrow on the back of the unit and determine your desired mounting orientation. For

vertical polarization using the integrated antenna, the arrow should be pointing up (perpendicular

to the ground). For horizontal polarization using the integrated antenna, the arrow should be

horizontal (parallel to the ground).

4 Assemble Mounting Hardware

1. Attach the mounting plate (A) using the provided screws and washers (Torque 9 N·m/75 in-

lbs), such that the unit’s antenna will be vertically or horizontally polarized when mounted.

2. Attach the extension arm (B) to mounting plate (A) with the screw, nut, and washers provided,

as shown below. The extension arm gives the unit more possible tilt, letting you adjust for

azimuth or elevation over a larger angle.

3. Attach the mounting bracket (C) to extension arm (B) with the screw, nut, and washers

provided.

4. Finally tighten the assembly (Torque 15 N·m/130 in-lbs).

5 Mount the Unit

1. To pole-mount, insert screws through bracket F and fasten around the pole to bracket E and

secure (Torque 11 N.m/100 in-lbs). Longer bolts (not supplied) are required for mounting the

units to a pole with a diameter larger than 3 inches.

To wall-mount the unit, mount bracket E to a wall using 4 screws (not provided), as shown

6 Plug in the Cables

1. Plug one end of the CAT5 cable (A) into the RJ45 jack of the unit (B).

2. Connect the free end of the CAT5 cable to the “Data and Power Out” port 2. on the power

injector.

3. To connect the unit through a hub or a switch to a PC, connect a straight-3. through Ethernet

cable between the network interface card in the PC and the hub, and between the hub and the

RJ45 “Data In” port on the PoE adapter.

To connect the unit directly to a PC, connect a cross-over Ethernet cable between the network

interface card in the PC and the RJ45 “Data In” port on the power injector.

7 Power on the Unit

The power adaptor provides Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), supplying electricity and wired

connectivity to the unit over a single 24 AWG CAT5 (diameter .114 to .250 inches/2.9 to 6.4 mm).

The unit is not 802.3af-compatible. Note that the Active Ethernet module provides +48 VDC over a

standard CAT5 Ethernet cable.

Once you have connected the power injector to the Ethernet cabling and plugged the power

injector cord into an AC outlet, the unit is powered on. There is no ON/OFF switch on the unit. To

remove power, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet or disconnect the RJ45 connector from the

“Data and Power Out” port on the power injector.

Depressing the power adaptor’s Reload button for five seconds during power-up remotely resets

BS/SS parameters affecting communication between the BS and SS to their factory default

settings: IP address, subnet mask, user name, password, Ethernet speed/duplex, and VLAN

mode.

8View LED

Two LED indicators are available on the Ethernet port of the unit. These LEDs display the activity

of the Ethernet and RF links.

IMPORTANT

This device must be installed by a trained professional, value added

reseller or systems integrator who is familiar with RF planning issues

and the regulatory limits.

CAUTION!

Heed all the WARNINGS. Follow all the instructions. Do not defeat the

safety purpose of the grounding. Only use attachments/accessories

specified by the manufacturer.

9 Align the Antenna

Antenna alignment is the process of physically aligning the antenna of the radio receiver and

transmitter to have the best possible link established between them. The antenna alignment

process is usually performed during installation and after major repairs.

If you are installing external antennas, consult the documentation that accompanies the antenna

for installation instructions. Note that you must weatherproof the antenna connectors as described

in Weatherproof the Connectors.

To ensure correct antenna alignment:

1. Perform a link budget calculation to obtain an expected signal level. A link budget calculator is

available at http://support.proxim.com

2. Compare the calculation to the SNR value on the SS by logging into the SS Web interface and

clicking

Monitor > Statistics > MAC Statistics

3. If needed, physically adjust the antenna, and refresh the.

Monitor > Statistics > MAC

Statistics

page to take a new SNR reading.

10 Tighten the Cable

1. Apply two wraps of Teflon tape around the threads of the unit’s RJ45 jack (A) in a clockwise

direction.

2. Make sure that the red rubber gasket is still seated in the sealing cap of the sealing cap/lock nut

assembly (B).

3. Slide the sealing cap/lock nut assembly (B) over the RJ45 jack (A) and thread onto enclosure.

Hand tighten first, then use a pipe wrench or similar tool to tighten one more quarter turn.

4. Tighten the lock nut (C) (Torque 4 N.m/35 in-lbs).

5. Thread the sealing nut (D) onto the sealing cap/lock nut assembly (B) and tighten (Torque 3

N.m/25 in-lbs).

11 Weatherproof the Connectors

1. Remove the film liner from the rubber-based tape strip.

2. Stretch and wrap the tape around the connector tightly, starting below the connector cap and

against the unit and wrapping in a clockwise direction. Wrap the tape once around the base of

the connector cap.

3. Seal the tape tightly against the connector and the cable.

4. Apply a layer of black electrical tape (not provided) over the rubber-based tape for further

protection. Make sure the electrical tape also extends beyond the rubber-based tape to seal it.

12 Install the Documentation and Software

First Configuration

The MP.16 system operates with little required setup. However, the administrator must initially

configure certain parameters to allow the BS and SS to communicate and (if desired) to secure the

network.

The following parameters must be set in order for the units to communicate:

•Center frequency: On the BS and SS Web interfaces, click Configuration >Radio to set the

desired frequency.

The following parameters must be set to ensure that the network is secure:

• IP address:

— On the BS Web interface, click Configuration > Networking > Basic to set the IP

address.

— On the SS Web interface, click Configuration > Network to set the IP address.

•Passwords: On the BS Web interface, click Commands > Passwords to set HTTPS and

CLI passwords.

•Net Entry mode: On the BS Web interface, click Configuration > SS Authentication to set

the Net Entry mode and default SS Class.

More information on these parameters as well as more advanced configuration options can be

found in following chapters in the Tsunami MP.16 3650 System User Guide:

• “Base Station Configuration” contains information and advanced Web-based configuration

options for the BS, including the use of Service Classes.

• “Subscriber Station Configuration” contains information and advanced Web-based

configuration options for the SS.

• “Command Line Interface” contains information on configuring the BS/SS via the CLI.

Information for Professional Installers

Adjusting Tx Output Power

Use the following formula in combination with the table of EIRP limits to calculate system transmit

power (based on EIRP limits):

Tx Power Allowed (dBm) = EIRP Limit (dBm) + CL (dB) - G (dB)
