Frequency Channel
Shows the current channel plan/frequency setting (for example, 4C). See “Change the Frequency
Plan and Operating Frequency” on page 50 for information. By default, the SU is set to automatically
search for the correct frequency channel.
Receive Signal Quality (dBm)
Shows the quality of signal received by the local SU (in dBm). This value represents the estimated
received signal level, plus an offset of 120 dB. A received signal quality level over 40 (which
represents a signal level of -80 dBm) shows an acceptable signal quality.
º You can use this field to fine tune BSU/SU alignment. After you mount the units outdoors, check
the Receive Signal Quality value as you make fine adjustments to the BSU/SU alignment until you
obtain optimal signal quality.
Transmitter Power
Shows the SU’s current transmitter power (-30 to +36).
Ethernet Interface
Shows the current Ethernet interface setting. If the Ethernet interface was set to auto-netotiate, this
entry contains the results of the auto-negotiation.
Network Mode
Shows the current network mode: Bridging, VPN, or IP Routing.
Confirming Network Activity
Attempt to ping from a computer connected to:
▪ An SU to the BS (BSU and SU must have different IP addresses to do this. If the BSU and SU are
configured with the same IP address, the local unit responds to the ping (that is, if the BSU and SU
have the same IP address and you ping the BSU from a host connected to the SU, the SU responds to
the ping).
▪ The BSU to the SU. (BSU and SU must have different IP addresses to do this. If the BSU and SU are
configured with the same IP address, the local unit responds to the ping (that is, if the BSU and SU
have the same IP address and you ping the BSU from a host connected to the SU, the SU responds to
the ping).
If successful and possible, attempt to ping from a computer on the SU side of the network to a computer
on the BSU side of the network.
Chapter 3. Deploying the Subscriber Unit (SU) 38

Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
If the ping tests are unsuccessful, attempt the following:
▪ Check all IP and computer configurations (for example, if you attempt to ping the BSU from the SU
configuration computer and the BSU and SU’s are in separate networks you must have the
configurations computers gateway set to the SU for the ping to work.)
▪ Adjust the network’s IP settings, if necessary, to achieve IP connectivity.
If the above fails refer to “System Diagnostics” to help debug possible link problems.
Note: See “Chapter 4. System Diagnostics and Operating Tips” on page 40 for information about running system
diagnostics to make sure the equipment is operating as expected .

Chapter 4. System Diagnostics and Operating Tips
This section describes several diagnostic tests you can perform once the Tsunami MP equipment is
installed. These tests assist you in determining whether the equipment is functioning as expected. In
addition, we include some miscellaneous useful information for deploying a Multipoint network.
Radio Diagnostics
Use the diagnostic tools described in this section to determine if your wireless link is stable. You can also
use these tools to help fine-tune antenna positions to establish a good link.
BSU and SU Logs
You can display BSU and SU logs to help troubleshoot possible link reliability and interference issues.
These tools have no impact on data traffic, and can be used in conjunction with configuration parameters
(such as IPC settings, modulation modes, and operating frequencies) and possible antenna relocation to
obtain the best possible path. The goal is to maximize the Es/N0 ratio.
Displaying the BSU Log
Follow these steps to enable the BSU log:
1. Enter BSUlog (Terminal ID> <time> where <Terminal ID> is the Terminal ID of the SU to be
monitored and <time> specifies the polling period (in seconds).
Figure 24. BSU Log in the Base Station Configuration Software
2. When finished, disable the BSU log by entering BSUlog 0 (zero).
Chapter 4. System Diagnostics and Operating Tips 40
CPN 63179 Issue Date: 01/24/03
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
Monitor the Es/No ratio (Es/No reports the energy per symbol-to-noise spectral density ratio (in dB)).
Low Es/N0 or varying Es/N0 can indicate path or interference problems. The Es/No requirement varies
based on the modulation mode:
20 Mbps: Es/No > 4 + IPC value
30 Mbps: Es/No > 5 + IPC value
40 Mbps: Es/No > 9 + IPC value
60 Mbps: Es/No > 12 + IPC value
In addition, the BSU log provides the following information:
Int
Relative interference of the power received at the BSU (a value of 0 (zero) nominally shows no
interference)
GPS sync
-1 indicates GPS sync is disabled; 4 indicates GPS sync is enabled. GPS synchronization is used when
the system is in Multi Sector mode (multiple BSUs installed in the same location; see “Configuring the
System for Multi-Sector Mode” on page 29 for more information).
SU ID
The Terminal ID of the monitored SU
Time error
Shows the uplink (or inbound) ranging error
Rx cell error
Shows the number of lost uplink cells
Rx cells
Shows the total number of uplink cells
Time
Shows the cumulative polling time (in seconds)
Displaying the SU Logs
You can display two different types of SU logs: SUlog1 and SUlog2. To display the SU logs, install the
Base Station Configuration Software on the PC used to configure the SU (see “Installing the Base Station
Configuration Software” for information) and then execute the commands described below.
Follow these steps to enable an SU log:
1. Enter SUlog1 <time> or SUlog2 <time> where <time> specifies the polling period (in seconds).
(Specify SUlog1 to display SUlog1; specify SUlog2 to display SUlog2. See the information below for
details about these two logs.)
Chapter 4. System Diagnostics and Operating Tips 41

Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
2. When finished, disable the SU log by entering SUlog1 0 (zero) or SUlog2 0 (zero) (depending upon
which log you displayed).
SUlog1 provides the following information:
SU ID
The Terminal ID of the monitored SU.
RSL
Shows the shows the RSL (receiver signal level) at the output of the antenna (in dBm).
TX Power
Shows the SU’s TX power at the input to the antenna (in dBm).
VCO
Shows the relative frequency offset of the VCO (voltage control oscillator) (in Hz).
Time error
Shows the synchronization error (in 1/512 symbol), generally magnitude (should be less than 8).
OB pkt error
Shows the number of out-of-sequence outbound packets.
Range
Shows the SU’s distance from the BSU (in meters).

Uplink BER Test
The Uplink BER Test determines the BER (bit error rate) of the uplink signal. This is an out-of-service
diagnostic tool and the data connection is terminated for the length of the test. Use this tool to determine
whether the link is stable (that is, there are no bit errors). You can also monitor these test results to fine
tune antenna alignment to get the strongest link possible.
Note: Do not run this test if users are sending data across the radio link.
Follow these steps to run the Uplink BER Test:
1. Open the Base Station Configuration Software.
2. Enter uplber <Terminal ID> to start the test for a particular SU. <Terminal ID> is the Terminal
ID of the SU of interest.
3. Enter berlog 1 to view the test results.

CPN 63179 Issue Date: 01/24/03
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
Figure 27. BER Log in Base Station Configuration Software
4. Monitor the BER test results. The Es/No is reported in column 1 and BER is reported in column 2. The
BER should initially read 0E-6 or oE-7 but then change to 0E-8 and finally to 0E-9 while the test is
running. This corresponds to 0 (zero) bit errors. The numbers in parentheses indicates the number of
errors over the total. 1E-6 indicates a bit error rate of 1 bit error received for every million bits sent.
5. When finished, disable the Uplink BER Test by first entering berlog 0 (zero) and then entering
uplber 0 (zero).
Note: The data connection does not resume until the uplber 0 (zero) command has been issued.
Network Configuration Tips
Keep the following points in mind when configuring your PMP network.
Tips for Testing PMP Network Under IP Routing Mode
Make sure to configure the BSU such that:
▪ If the BSU is connected to a router, make sure the router port to which the BSU is connected is
defined as the BSU’s default gateway. Also, make sure the BSU is specified as the router port’s
default gateway.
▪ The IP addresses of the BSU and the router port reside in the same subnet (this is required).
Chapter 4. System Diagnostics and Operating Tips 44
CPN 63179 Issue Date: 01/24/03
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
Make sure that an SU and its directly connected devices are in the same subnet. The subnet address of a
device can be obtained by performing a logical “AND” of the device’s IP address with its subnet mask. A
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 implies that there are 255 IP addresses within the same subnet.
If the IP address of a PC connected to a SU is not dynamically assigned:
▪ Make sure the PC’s IP address appears in the SU’s static IP list (see “addSUIP Command” in the
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Reference Manual). Otherwise, if the SU is running in Restricted
mode, the PC cannot access the wireless network.
▪ Configure the PC to point to the SU as its default gateway.
In the latest firmware release, the proxy setting is turned on automatically; do not change this setting.
Tips for Testing VLAN Switching
Before changing the BSU Configuration to VLAN switching, make sure that the BSU and the BSU console
are connected to a VLAN switch. Otherwise, if you turn on VLAN tagging, you cannot talk to the BSU
because the PC hosting the BSU Console cannot send or receive VLAN frames.
Tips for Anyone Operating the PMP Network
When changing back and forth between Bridging mode and IP Routing mode (see “routingMode
Command” in the Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Reference Manual), always remember to manually
clear the ARP table of your PC.
Do not turn off the power of the Base Station Unit “at-will,” because the Base Station Unit might be
saving internal variables or configuration parameters to the flash memory at that moment. Always wait
for a minute after entering an operator command before shutting down the BSU.
Always follow the simple proxy rule and fundamental principles concerning subnets and default gateways
in planning and analyzing the PMP network. A good understanding of basic IP networking is required,
regardless of whether you operate the PMP network in IP Routing or Bridging mode.
If you cannot get the network to work, there is most likely a setup error. Check the network configuration
using the tips above and try again.
Protecting the System
Tsunami Multipoint provides ways to prevent unauthorized users from communicating with the BSU and
SUs. You can password-protect the system to prevent unauthorized access and use the Range Security
option to prevent unauthorized SUs from communicating with a BSU.
Chapter 4. System Diagnostics and Operating Tips 45
CPN 63179 Issue Date: 01/24/03
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
Password Protection
Tsunami Multipoint provides two levels of password protection:
▪ user level – lets the user display the system’s current status only.
▪ admin level – lets the user display the system’s status and change its configuration.
The default password is “null.” Password protection for either password level (user or admin) can be
turned on and off. By default, password protection is turned off.
Passwords can be from 1 to 16 characters; any combination of alphanumeric characters is allowed,
except for these special characters: " , . ’ ‘ ^ { } | \ / ; : ] [ ( )
If you forget your password, contact Proxim’s Customer Service department to obtain a new one. See
“Appendix F. Technical Support and Training” on page 76 for Proxim’s contact information.
Specifying a User-Level Password
To define the user-level password, from the BSU console enter:
setpw user<oldpw><newpw><newpw>
where:
<oldpw> = the old password (the default password is “null”)
<newpw> = the new password
After defining the new user-level password, enter logout. Log in with the new password (see Logging In
on page 47 for information).
Specifying an Admin-Level Password
To define the admin-level password, from the BSU console, enter:
setpw admin<oldpw><newpw><newpw>
where:
<oldpw> = the old password (the default password is “null”)
<newpw> = the new password
After defining the new admin-level password, enter logout. Log in with the new password.
Note: If you specify either level of password without specifying a password for the other level, when you log out or
restart the BSU, the system comes up in password-protected mode. Log in and enter the password you
specified. For example, if you specify “admin” for the admin-level password and then log out or restart the
BSU, enter login admin to access the system. This allows access to the admin-level.
Chapter 4. System Diagnostics and Operating Tips 46
CPN 63179 Issue Date: 01/24/03
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
Turning Off Password Protection
To turn off password protection, from the BSU console, enter setpw<level><oldpw><null><null>
where:
<level> = either admin or user, depending upon which level of password protection you want to
remove. For example, if the current admin password is “superuser,” to remove the admin
password, enter setpw admin superuser null null.
<oldpw> = the old password.
If you turn off both display-level and user-level password protection, restart the BSU to refresh its
memory.
Figure 28. Password Definition/Usage Diagram
Logging In
If password protection is turned on, you must “log in” to the system to either display system status
(user-level privileges) or change the system’s configuration (admin-level privileges).
To log in, enter login <password> where <password> is either the user-level or admin-level password.

Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
Activating Range Security
The Range Security option helps prevent unauthorized SUs from communicating with a BSU. When the
Range Security option is on, if an SU attempts to enter the network, the BSU checks the range value
reported by the SU. This works as follows:
▪ The first time the SU tries to enter the network, the SU’s range is stored in the BSU’s flash memory
for future reference.
▪ Then, if the SU enters the network again (when Range Security is on) and its reported range does not
match the range that was previously stored in the BSU’s flash memory, the SU is denied network
entry and an alarm is sent to the BSU console.
To activate the Range Security option, from the BSU console, enter rangeSecurity 1.

Appendix A. Initial Settings
Specify the Desired Modulation (Data Rate)
To configure the BSU to use the modulation setting required by your application (20, 30, 40, or 60 Mbps),
from the BSU console, enter modulation <mode number>, where:
<mode number> =
0 (zero) = QAM16 (60 Mbps)
1 = QAM8 (40 Mbps)
2 = QPSK3Q (30 Mbps)
3 = QPSK1H (20 Mbps)
The BSU automatically restarts and then comes up with the new modulation setting. The Subscriber Units
adopt the new modulation setting (the new modulation setting appears in the Burst Rate field on the
Status page of the Subscriber Utility).
Note: This step is not applicable if the BSU operates at 20 Mbps only.
Specify the BSU’s Gateway Address
In general, you should specify the IP address of the router connected to the BSU as its gateway address.
If your network does not have a router installed, specify the IP address of the BSU console. To specify the
BSU’s gateway address, from the BSU console, enter gateway <gateway address> where <gateway
address> is the IP address of the router attached to the BSU or the BSU console.
Select the Routing Mode
Set the BSU to operate in IP Routing mode or Bridging mode. A BSU is set to IP Routing mode by
default. See the “routingMode” command in the Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Reference Manual for
more information about these modes. After you change the routing mode, the BSU restarts and forces all
the SUs in its sector to restart. The BSU and SUs then come up with the new routing mode.
To select Bridging as the routing mode, from the BSU console, enter routingMode 1.
To select IP Routing as the routing mode, enter routingMode 0 (zero).
Appendix A. Initial Configuration Settings 49
CPN 63179 Issue Date: 01/24/03

Change the Frequency Plan and Operating Frequency
Tsunami Multipoint offers several frequency plans and operating frequencies to provide a means for
overcoming interference. If one part of the 5.8 GHz spectrum is occupied when you deploy the product,
you can select a different frequency plan to bypass the interfering frequency.
To select a frequency plan and operating frequency, specify a frequency plan (4, 5, or 6), then one of the
available frequencies (one of four frequencies for plan 4, one of five frequencies for plan 5, one of six
frequencies for plan 6). Plan 4 is the default frequency plan. Operating frequencies in the 5 and 6 plans
overlap. See “Frequency Plans” on page 57 for details about the available frequency plans and operating
frequencies.
To select a frequency plan, from the BSU console, enter freqPlan<frequency plan> where <frequency
plan> is 4, 5, or 6.
To select an operating frequency, from the BSU console, enter frequency<frequency ID> where
<frequency ID> is:
For plan 4: A, B, C, or D
For plan 5: A, B, C, D, or E
For plan 6: A, B, C, D, E, or F
For example, to change to the 5e plan, enter freqPlan 5; then enter frequency e.

Appendix B. Installing the Software and Upgrading Firmware 54
CPN 63179 Issue Date: 01/24/03
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
Remote Over-the-Air Download to SUs
You can upgrade your SUs to Version 1.3 from the Base Station Configuration Software Console of the
BSU. Normally, all SUs in the network are upgraded at the same time. However, if one or more SUs fail
to receive the download code correctly, the upgrade is aborted and a second attempt must be made. SUs
that have been upgraded successfully ignore reprogramming of the same codes.
To download remotely to SUs:
1. From the BSU 1.4 or 1.5 Console, confirm that SUs have established a link with the BSU by issuing a
dspActiveSU command. Make note of the SUs in the network.
2. Select the Download menu.
3. Select Remote Firmware; a Download — File Selection window is displayed.
4. From the Look In search field, select the binary file to be downloaded (PMP_SU_release1-3.mot)
from the appropriate directory. The BSU Console automatically processes the selected binary codes
and, once finished, displays an output of “Elapsed [time]” in seconds.
5. Let the SUs re-enter the network. It usually takes no more than five minutes for the SUs to enter the
network from the start of the download. The following messages are displayed at the BSU Console
for each SU as it enters the network:
º 118 Received NetEntry Request from Eth<SUs Ethernet address>
º 119 NetEntry completed: Assigned terminal ID <ID#>, IP<SUs IP address>, and VLAN ID
<SU VLAN ID#> in VLAN mode.
6. Issue dspActiveSU to verify that the SUs have entered the network successfully. If an SU fails to
enter the network, use the local download procedure in the following section.
º If the SU was correctly upgraded, the display reads ver 20021300.
º If the SU failed to upgrade and the link was restored, the display most likely reads ver
200212B0.
7. If any SU that re-entered the network failed to upgrade to Version 1.3, repeat steps 2 through 6, or
upgrade the failing SUs using the “Local Download to SUs” method.
Local Download to SUs
You can use this method to upgrade SUs that have not been deployed or have failed to successfully
download using the remote over-the-air procedure. Using this procedure, individual SUs are upgraded
through their Ethernet/Power cable. This procedure requires the Tsunami Multipoint Base Station
Configuration Software application be loaded on the PC attached to the SU (SU 1.,4 or 1.5 Console). The
window label appears as Tsunami Multipoint Subscriber Configuration Software.
Appendix B. Installing the Software and Upgrading Firmware 55

from the appropriate directory and click Select. The download requires about 2 minutes. Once the
download is complete, the banner indicating Version 1.3 is displayed.
If the download does not complete successfully, as indicated by a checksum mismatch or a failure to
reboot, cycle power to the SU and repeat, starting at step 1.
Local Download to the BSU
Use this download method to upgrade BSUs after the SUs have been upgraded to Version 1.3. The BSU
is upgraded through its Ethernet/Power cable using the BSU 1.4 or 1.5 Console.
To locally download to the BSU:
1. From the BSU 1.4 or 1.5 Console, select the Download menu.
2. Select Local Firmware.
3. From the Look In search field, choose the binary file to be downloaded (PMP_BSU_release1-3.mot)
from the appropriate directory and click Select.
4. Once the upgrade is successful, if there were SUs connected to the BSU, they will re-acquire net
entry. For each SU connection, two messages are displayed:
º 120 Received NetEntry Request from Eth<SU’s Ethernet address>
º 121 NetEntry completed: Assigned terminal ID<ID#>, VLAN ID 1, IP<SU’s IP address>
It normally takes less than a minute and a half for the SUs to re-acquire NetEntry with the BSU from
the time the local download started.
5. If there were no SUs connected to the BSU, after the upgrade succeeds, the version banner is
displayed with version 20021300, following by three messages:
º 114 Completed flash sector verification
º 103 DB check completed
º 107 Save NV configuration Parameters

Installing the AMP CPC Connector with Shield and Strain Relief
The indoor end of the BSU Power and Ethernet cable uses an 8-pin circular plastic AMP connector with
crimp contacts. The connector is a reverse sex plug with male connector pins. The plug provided is not
weather tight and is meant for indoor use only. The connector uses a shield to cover the pin end of the
wires and has a strain relief clamp with two self-tapping screws to clamp the cable sheath to the
connector.
Figure 44. 8-Pin AMP Connector
To install the AMP CPC connector on the BSU Power and Ethernet cable:
1. Install the shield on the cable before removing the cable jacket. Slide the shield onto the cable so
that the threaded, large-diameter end faces the end of the cable.
2. Crimp the contacts to the wires according to the documentation included with the crimp tooling. Pins
are size 20 DM and the wire strip length is 0.100”.
3. Insert the contacts into the housing one at a time by gripping the insulation of the wire directly
behind the contact and aligning the contact with the back of the desired contact cavity.
4. Insert each contact straight into the cavity until it bottoms, then pull back lightly on the wire to be
sure the contact is locked in place.
5. Thread the shield onto the connector and tighten the shield finger-tight.
6. Screw in the strain relief over the end of the cable using the two supplied Phillips head screws.

Appendix E. Lightning Protection Recommendations
This appendix describes Proxim Lightning Protection Recommendations for:
▪ Tsunami Multipoint Base Station Unit 40400-25/-65
▪ Tsunami Multipoint Subscriber Unit 40100-251/-252/-651/-652
Introduction
What is Lightning Protection?
All outdoor electronic equipment is susceptible to lightning damage. Proper grounding to national and
local codes is instrumental in providing human safety. Lightning Protection is used when a customer
wants to maximize the reliability of the electronic system by diverting the excess energy that can be
induced on any transmission lines (data, power) through a series of surge protection devices. The energy
is dissipated through heat and also diverted to ground.
What Lightning Protection is Built Into the Tsunami Equipment?
All Tsunami Multipoint and QuickBridge equipment have built-in lightning protection on both the power
supply lines and the Ethernet lines. There are TVS diodes that provide protection to IEC 61000-4-5.
Proxim Corporation uses “well-design” practices in incorporating these devices in the Tsunami Multipoint
and QuickBridge products.
Why is Additional Protection Recommended?
Lightning, even with the built-in protection, can still damage outdoor Tsunami equipment. This can occur
for any number of reasons, such as an improperly grounded installation or if the amount of transient
energy from nearby lightning exceeds what the devices can handle.
If a Tsunami unit fails due to damage from lightning, the link is out-of-service until the unit is replaced or
repaired. An external, revertive protection device can provide a higher level of protection, and greater
probability of surviving lightning transients without damage to the Tsunami equipment. If damage does
occur, most likely it is to the lightning protection devices and not the Tsunami equipment. Remember,
even with external lightning protection, damage can still occur to the Tsunami outdoor unit.

PolyPhaser CAT5 Data Protector
This is a heavy-duty aluminum, weather-tight enclosure for outdoor use that serves to protect the
Tsunami outdoor unit, as well as the indoor power adapter and connected line equipment inside the roof
penetration. This product can be used for all CAT5 cable lengths up to 100 meters from the outdoor
Tsunami unit to the indoor power adapter.
The Polyphaser Data Protector uses Cascade Technology. This is a multi-stage technology that is
superior to single stage because of high surge current capacity and fast response time. The unit is
designed to fit in-line onto the outdoor Cat 5 cable, using two weatherized plug openings for the cable to
enter and exit. The existing cable is cut, dressed, and reconnected onto two sets of 8 screw terminals
inside the Data Protector.
List Price: $209/ea.
Delivery: Available from authorized Proxim reseller or installer off-the-shelf.

Transtector Systems Surge Supressor
This outdoor-use, molded plastic, weather-tight enclosure is a surge suppressor designed to protect the
Tsunami Multipoint SU and the QuickBridge unit from lightning damage. This product can be used for
CAT5 cable lengths up to 50 meters from the outdoor Tsunami unit to indoor power adapter.
The 1101-TSU uses silicon avalanche suppression diodes (SASD) to provide lower voltage protection level
(VPL). This technology provides a superior protection level over traditional gas tube type devices. The
unit is designed to fit onto a CAT5 cable in a pass-through configuration. The input and output
connections can be made at two sets of 8-screw terminals, or two 8-pin DIN style connectors.
This arrangement allows the installation of the connectorized Cat 5 cable directly into the Surge
Suppressor, or with a cut cable.
List Price: $99/ea.
Delivery: Available from authorized Proxim reseller or installer off-the-shelf.
Physical Considerations
How are the Lightning Protection Units Connected to the CAT5 Cable?
The lightning protection units recommended are designed to be installed in-line onto the Cat 5 cable that
connectors the outdoor (RF) Tsunami unit (Base Station, Subscriber Unit, QuickBridge) and the indoor
power adapter.
The lightning protection device has a Surge (cable-facing) side, and an Equipment (equipment-facing)
side. The Equipment side faces the outdoor Tsunami unit or the indoor power adapter. The Surge side
faces the long length of cable; when installing two lightning protection units, each unit’s Surge side face
one another.
See Pin-out information for each unit in “Lightning Protection Specifications” on page 73 for connecting
the cable to the protection device.
Appendix E. Lightning Protection Recommendations C-
CPN 63179 Issue Date: 01/24/03
72
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
Where Should the Protection Units be Located?
At least one unit should be installed near every outdoor Tsunami unit. General guidelines are:
▪ Locate protection unit as close to the outdoor Tsunami unit as possible, where the lightning protection
unit can be securely mounted to a flat surface and grounded properly. Ideally, this should be no
further than five feet away from the outdoor unit.
▪ Locate one unit at the roof penetration point, outside, so that the cable immediately enters the
building after the protection unit. This unit is optional if the distance from the first unit to the roof
penetration point is relatively short (under 15 feet).
Installing two units provides the maximum protection against lightning damage to the outdoor Tsunami
unit and the indoor power adapter, especially if the CAT5 cable length is greater than 15 meters.
