1.2 Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO)
Proxim’s Point-to-point and Point-to-multipoint devices support Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna technology
that uses multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance. The underlying
technology of Proxim’s product radios are based on a combination of MIMO and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing). MIMO-OFDM combination radios solve interference, fading and multi-path problems. On the receiver side,
having multiple receivers increases the amount of received power and also reduces multi-path problems by combining the
received signals 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 signals
from each of the multiple transmit antennas while reusing or multiplexing in the space dimension. These independent data
signals are called Spatial streams. The transmitting antenna uses multiple radio Tx chains and signal paths to simultaneously
transmit different data streams, whereas the receiver combines the Rx signals resulting in higher throughput.
By increasing the number of receiving and transmitting antennas, the throughput of the channel increases linearly resulting in
high spectral efficiency.

800 Series - Hardware Overview and Installation
Figure 2-2 MP-825-SUR-50+ / MP-825-BS3-100/ QB-825-EPR-50+
A detailed description about the various components of the device are explained in the following sections.
2.1.1.1 Gigabit Ethernet Port
The device comes with one auto-sensing 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet port with configurable Tx modes and speeds.
The Gigabit Ethernet port (PoE IN and Data) of the device allows the user to connect to the LAN by using Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet
cable, and also power ON the device by using the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector supplied with the product package.
’
’
The device receives 48 VDC via a a standard Cat5e/Cat6 cable connected between the PoE and the device.
Maximum power supplied to the device is 32 Watts and the device typically draws 10 Watts.
Above 0° Celsius internal temperature, the device need not regulate its temperature, so the power drawn is generally lower in
this temperature range. When the internal temperature gets close to the limits, the device starts to heat itself and the power
draw increases. Powering the device when it is cold, triggers a special self-heat mode where the device is inoperable until the
internal temperature is above -20° Celsius. This is signaled by a solid yellow LED on the Ethernet connector. Once the internal
temperature is above -20° Celsius, the device boots normally.
Recommended Ethernet Cable Specifications
Type
Cat5e/Cat6, STP, 24 AWG, UL rated, UV-shielded and outdoor-rated
Impedance
100 ohms
Cable Length 330 feet / 100 meters
: The total length of cabling between the Personal Computer and the device
cannot exceed 100 meters (includes cable from the Personal Computer to
the PoE, and the cable from the PoE to the device. Due to DC power
requirements, the maximum cable length between the PoE Injector and the
device is 75 meters.
2.1.1.2 Serial Port
The Serial Port is used for debugging and management and GPS Sync (Only for BSU).
The serial connection is established with an RJ11 to DB9 connector (also referred to as a “dongle”) by connecting the RJ11
end of the dongle connector to the device and the other end to your Personal Computer.

A detailed description about the various components of the device are explained in the following sections.
3.1.1.1 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The device comes with two auto-sensing 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet ports with configurable Tx modes and speeds.
3.1.1.1.1 a) Ethernet Port 1
The Gigabit Ethernet port 1 (PoE IN and Data) of the device allows the user to connect to the LAN by using Cat5e/Cat6
Ethernet cable, and also power ON the device by using the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector supplied with the product
package.
’
’
The device receives 48 VDC via a a standard Cat5e/Cat6 cable connected between the PoE and the device.
Maximum power supplied to the device is 32 Watts and the device typically draws 6 Watts.
Above 0° Celsius internal temperature, the device need not regulate its temperature, so the power drawn is generally lower in
this temperature range. When the internal temperature gets close to the limits, the device starts to heat itself and the power
draw increases. Powering the device when it is cold, triggers a special self-heat mode where the device is inoperable until the
internal temperature is above -20° Celsius. This is signaled by a solid yellow LED on the Ethernet connector. Once the internal
temperature is above -20° Celsius, the device boots normally.
Recommended Ethernet Cable Specifications
Type
Cat5e/Cat6, STP, 24 AWG, UL rated, UV-shielded and outdoor-rated
Impedance
100 ohms
Cable Length 330 feet / 100 meters
: The total length of cabling between the Personal Computer and the device
cannot exceed 100 meters (includes cable from the Personal Computer to the
PoE, and the cable from the PoE to the device). Due to DC power requirements,
the maximum cable length between the PoE Injector and the device is 75
meters.
: Always use a straight cable from PoE to the device. When you use a 4-pair cross over ethernet cable, the reload
functionality gets activated and forcibly deletes the operating image.

Step 14: Align the Antennas
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, refer to the documentation that accompanies the antenna for
installation instructions.
The device has an audible antenna alignment tool that can be activated by plugging in the supplied RJ11 serial dongle. It is
audible upto 30 minutes. The CLI command enables both audible and numerical feedback as the CLI shows the running
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) values twice a second.
The output from the beeper for antenna alignment consists of short beeps with a variable interval. The interval changes with
the SNR level to assist in correctly aligning the antenna. An increase in signal level is indicated by a shorter interval between
beeps and a reduction in signal level results in beeps longer apart.
The alignment process averages the SNR, which is represented by an average length beep. When a higher SNR is received, the
beep period becomes shorter. A lower SNR results in a longer period between beeps.
Figure 3-13 Beep Interval
When the antenna is aimed, the beep intuitively represents whether the SNR is rising or falling. The higher the SNR rises, the
shorter the period of the beep is heard and the higher the frequency of the beep. When you change the position of the
Tsunami ÂŽ 800 and 8000 Series - Hardware Installation Guide
56
8000 Series - Hardware Overview and Installation
antenna, SNR averaging settles at the new value and the beeping returns to the average length so the antenna can again be
aimed for rising SNR.
Aiming is complete if moving in any direction results in a falling SNR value (which can be heard as longer periods between
beeps).
’
’
The range of the average SNR has been limited to values from 5 to 43; therefore, anything over 43 always results in a
short period between beeps and values below 5 always have a long period.
The Antenna Alignment Display (AAD) CLI output is disabled automatically 30 minutes after it is enabled to remove

8000 Series - Hardware Overview and Installation
’
Maximum power supplied to the device is 32 Watts and the device typically draws 10 Watts.
Above 0° Celsius internal temperature, the device need not regulate its temperature, so the power drawn is generally lower in
this temperature range. When the internal temperature gets close to the limits, the device starts to heat itself and the power
draw increases. Powering the device when it is cold, triggers a special self-heat mode where the device is inoperable until the
internal temperature is above -20° Celsius. This is signaled by a solid yellow LED on the Ethernet connector. Once the internal
temperature is above -20° Celsius, the device boots normally.
Recommended Ethernet Cable Specifications

4. Connect a short RJ45 terminated cable between the outdoor device and the port on the co-located surge protector.
5. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the two surge protectors on their remaining ports.
: Ensure to loop the cable before entering the premise to prevent water ingress.
Step 11: Ground the Unit
To ensure proper grounding, use either of the ground points which are situated at the bottom corners of the device and the
grounding screw(#8-32 thread size) provided to attach a ground wire of at least 10 AWG stranded to the device. It is
important that the following ground guidelines are followed during installations to protect the device against lighting or ESD
events:
1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the device and the other end to the closest earthing system point at the
installation.
2. Cut any extra ground wire length when finished connecting it to the single point earth ground.
3. Avoid sharp bends and never loop or coil up the ground wire, always connect it straight to ground.
4. A good earth ground impedance is less than 1.0 ohm.
5. Measure ground impedance at the point where the protector ground wire is connected and not at the ground rod.
6. Connect the surge protector ground wire and equipment ground (both power ground and telecomm ground) to a
single common ground.
7. Make sure all connections are fastened securely and are tight.
8. Never install during a storm and always follow your local safety codes.

Step 14: 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, refer to the documentation that accompanies the antenna for
installation instructions.
The device has an audible antenna alignment tool that can be activated by plugging in the supplied RJ11 serial dongle. It is
audible upto 30 minutes. The CLI command enables both audible and numerical feedback as the CLI shows the running
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) values twice a second.
The output from the beeper for antenna alignment consists of short beeps with a variable interval. The interval changes with
the SNR level to assist in correctly aligning the antenna. An increase in signal level is indicated by a shorter interval between
beeps and a reduction in signal level results in beeps longer apart.
The alignment process averages the SNR, which is represented by an average length beep. When a higher SNR is received, the
beep period becomes shorter, A lower SNR results in a longer period between beeps.
Figure 3-26 Beep Interval
When the antenna is aimed, the beep intuitively represents whether the SNR is rising or falling. The higher the SNR rises, the
shorter the period of the beep is heard and the higher the frequency of the beep.
When you change the position of the antenna, SNR averaging settles at the new value and the beeping returns to the
average length so the antenna can again be aimed for rising SNR.
Aiming is complete if moving in any direction results in a falling SNR value (which can be heard as longer periods between
beeps).
’
’
The range of the average SNR has been limited to values from 5 to 43; therefore, anything over 43 always results in a
short period between beeps and values below 5 always have a long period.
The Antenna Alignment Display (AAD) CLI output is disabled automatically 30 minutes after it is enabled to remove
the load of extra messages on the wireless interface. The default telnet time-out is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

Step 6: Mount the Device
The device is designed to directly mount to a pole. By using the supplied brackets and hardware, you can mount them to a
1.25 inch to 3-inch pole (outside diameter). Longer bolts (not supplied) are required for mounting the device to a larger
diameter pole. By using just one of the pole mounting brackets, you can mount the device to a wall or other flat surface. The
device must always be mounted with all access ports of the integrated antenna pointed straight down to achieve horizontal
and vertical polarization.
To pole mount the device, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the pole intended for installation is securely attached to a solid base.
2. Attach the mounting bracket (1) to the device with the provided screws and washers.

: Slide the M6-16 screw through the M6 Spring Washer first and then through M6 Plain Washer. Misplacement
of the washers may cause damage to the device.
3. Slide the Hose Clamps (2) through the Mounting Bracket and place the Hose Clamps around the pole.
4. Insert the end of the hose clamps into the fastening clip and tighten the screw.
: Do not over tighten the screws at this stage, as the device may need adjustment to obtain good signal strength.
Proxim also provides an optional universal wall mounting kit bracket (P/N 1087-UMK); this kit is designed to mount the device
directly to a flat surface such as a roof, wall, or under an eave.

Step 7: Plug in the Cables
1. Plug one end of the Cat5/Cat5e or better Ethernet cable (5.5 mm/.217 in OD maximum) into the Ethernet (RJ45) jack
of the device. Ensure that the cable connector is latched securely. You can hear a click sound when the cable
connector latches into the jack, then tighten the sealing nut by hand.
: Always use a straight cable from PoE to the device. When you use a 4-pair cross over ethernet cable, the reload
functionality gets activated and forcibly deletes the operating image.
2. Connect the other end of the Cat5/Cat5e or better cable to the LAN+DC port on the PoE Injector.
Figure 3-30 PoE Injector
3. To connect the device directly to a Personal Computer, connect an Ethernet cable between the network interface card
in the Personal Computer and the RJ45 LAN port on the PoE Injector.
4. To connect the device through a hub or a switch to a Personal Computer, connect an Ethernet cable between the
network interface card in the Personal Computer and the hub. Connect another Ethernet cable between the hub and
the RJ45 LAN port on the PoE Injector.
Step 8: Install Surge Protector
Proxim recommends two approved lightning surge protectors to be installed, one near to the device and the other at the
building ingress point.
: To buy a suitable Surge Protector, place an order separately with your distributor.
Perform the following steps to ensure proper surge protection:
1. Mount the provided surge protector near the outdoor device and use 10 AWG or a better gauge wire to connect the
protector’s ground lug to the appropriate mounting ground point. The outdoor device and co-located surge protector
should have a common grounding point by using the shortest possible grounding cable.
2. Mount a second surge protector near the building ingress and use 10 AWG or a better gauge wire to connect the
surge protector’s ground lug to earth ground as shown in the figure below.

Figure 3-31 Surge Protector
: Use Outdoor-rated, UV protected, shielded Cat5/Cat5e or better cable for the following:
3. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the indoor device and to the port on the surge protector at the building
ingress.
4. Connect a short RJ45 terminated cable between the outdoor device and the port on the co-located surge protector.
5. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the two surge protectors on their remaining ports.
: Ensure to loop the cable before entering the premise to prevent water ingress.
Step 9: Ground the Device
To ensure proper grounding, ground a wire of atleast 12 AWG stranded to the grounding screw (M3 thread size) which is
fixed to the bottom corner of the device. It is important to note that the following ground guidelines are followed during
installations:
1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the device and the other end to the closest earthing system point at the
installation.
2. Cut any extra ground wire length when finished connecting it to the single point earth ground.
3. Avoid sharp bends and never loop or coil up the ground wire, always connect it straight to ground.
4. A good earth ground impedance is less than 1.0 ohm.
5. Measure ground impedance at the point where the protector ground wire is connected and not at the ground rod.
6. Connect the protector ground wire and equipment ground (both power ground and telecomm ground) to a single
common ground.
7. Make sure all connections are fastened securely and are tight.
8. Never install during a storm and always follow your local safety codes.
Connect the grounding wire, which is supplied with the product package, to the grounding lug as shown below:

Step 10: Power ON the Device
Plug in the power cord into a power outlet after connecting the PoE Injector to the device by using Cat5/Cat5e or better
cable. There is no ON/OFF switch on the device. To disconnect power, unplug the RJ45 connector from the LAN+DC port on
the PoE Injector.
Step 11: View LEDs
When the device is powered on, it performs startup diagnostics. When startup is complete, the LEDs show the device’s
operational state. The LEDs are available at the device Ethernet connector inside the enclosure. You can see the LEDs through
the ethernet connector. The LEDs will not be visible if the RJ45 connector is weatherproofed.
