2. Product Description
2.1 General Description
The Tsunami license-tree radios pmVide a new level of control and convenience in a digital
communications network
These Tsunami radios provrde 1OOBaseT intelligent oridging between two locations without the delay
and expense of installing cable or traditional microwave.
Because each owner controls the operation of the link, there is no reliance on any outside services
Tsunami radio operators are able to operate instant links whenever needed, and to be in control of their
own network.
The Tsunami offers two primary benefits:
-:~ CONVENIENCE Easy to install and operate with no user license
requirements or frequency coordination in the USA.
(Other countries may require a user license and/or
frequency coordination).
-:~ CAPABILITY Full transparent Fast Ethernet connections with no
throughput reduction over any line~of~sight distance (within
legal lirriits of government regulation)
.§' Tsunami radios are lSO Layer 2 Data Link Layer (use MAC address for filtering) devrces where they
provide their full stated throughput. At level 2 (bridges; or 3/4 (routers) where hardware plays the major
part. the most common tester is the SmartBits 200 product from NetCom Systems At Application Layer
7 you will see less than 40% throughput from the maximum capacity measured with SmartBits due to
the increased prolooolfsoflwane overhead at that level. Layer 7 can be tested with software such as
Ganymede‘s Chariot or Qcheok product [wwqucheclenet/indexhtml), Use Ocheck (or equivalent), do
NOT use PlNG lpr throughput testing (wwwochecknet/whchheck html)!
As an example: testing copper CATS cable with SmartBits will test 100% throughput (let's say you can
send/rev a full 100Mopsl At Layer 7 you will be transferring bits at the iOOMbps rate, but apprommately
only 45Mbps of user data Will transler (Ethernet has a high overhead of bytes added to each data packet
Frame each time you go up a layer). The advantage is the more oomplex overhead makes the data
virtually resilient to corruption and minor errors (Le. collisions). it‘s easy to reroute and the network can
use inexpensive plug/play devrces like hubslsrvitches instead of multiplexers as used in the telco
industry (l e. LYNX T1/E’erSS radios)
Western Multiplex tests for stated throughput at Layer 2/3 where bridges are defined. At layer 7
(application layer), you may see less than Sim or more depending on the other traffic that may be on
the LAN as this layer is more dependent on the type of data being sent (it does not matter if it's Wire.
fiber or any Ethernet bridge -wired or wireless). Another way to look at it the model 31145 lZMbps
(t UMbps tDBaseT+TilEi waySide) bridge will test the same as a piece of CATS Ethernet cable

2.3.2 Test Points / Power Indicator
ON This is an LED indication. When Iit GREEN. Tsunami is powered.
The Tsunami radio products do not have an on/ofl switch.
GND This is a test point referenced to chassis ground. This is used in conjunction with the
next two test points to measure voltages related to radio performance,
RSL This is a test point that relates to the Received Signal Level (RSL). The voltage is
measured with a vollmeter (using the GND test point lor reference) which
corresponds to the actual power level at the incoming received signal. While the
DISPLAY FAR END button is pressed. this RSL voltage corresponds to the RSL of
the far-end radio. These measurements are used during instailation, maintenance
and troubleshooting. Reterto Figure 3-6 in Section 3-20.
LOCAL This is a test point which corresponds to the output transmit power at the radio. The
TX PWH voltage is measured with a voltmeter (using the GNU test point for reierenoe) which
corresponds to the actual power level ol the outgoing signal. This measurement is
used during instalietion, maintenance and troubleshooting
(ft: This voltage only applies to the near-end and does not allow measurement
1ng5 0! the tar-end ouwut transmit power, even when the DISPLAY FAR END
button is pressed.
There is a receptacle on the front panel to the right of the LOCAL TX PWR test pomt
which is an installation adjustment allowing the output transmit power to be
increased or decreased within the radio’s specitied limits. Using a small screwdriver,
this adjustment is used to set the output power ol the transmitter, in accordance to
the path planning.
The Tsunami system requires professional installation. Transmitted output
@ power limits may apply when using this radio. Consult FCC, 10, Western
Multiplex or other regulatory authorities for iimiLs which may apply. See
Section 3.13.1 for details on setting output power. Do not adjust output
power above factory settings.

2.3.5 Connectlons
HF CONNECTION
The RF port oi the Tsunami radio is an N-type female connector that is an integral part of the filter
assembly. The tiller assembly occupies heady the entire top half of the front panel. The N-Type
connector is used to connect the antenna, typically using coaxiai transmission line In some cases,
waveguide may be used as the primary transmission line, in which case a waveguide-to-N adapter is
required.
For the Tsunami, 1/2" or 5/8” coaxial cable (LDF4-50 or LDF4.5-5D) is
recommended Coaxial cable that is 7/8" or larger can exhibit moding
at 5.8 GHz and is not recommended for 5.3 GHz radios. For
waveguide transmission line at 5.8 GHz, SIN-52 waveguide is
recommended EW~63 will also work, but may exhibit more loss.
DATA CONNECTION
The connection for the Fast Ethernet intedace that carries the Signals in and out at the radio is an RJ45
1OOBaseT wire connection or ST tooaaseT iibet connection.
DC POWER CONNECTION
The input acoepls positive or negalive DC power at any voltage between 20 and 63 Volts. Optionally, an
AC power adapter can be used.
OPTiONAL CON NECTIDNS
There are several connections Ihat are not required Ior operation. but provide additional facilities to the
user.
EOW This connection is used to access the electronic orderwire Iunction. This is a facility
for "telephone” style service from one radio to another. A standard electronic
telephone [one with a handset and DTMF (push-button tone) dialing] plugs into this
connector The user can dial the orderwire address of the far-end radio (or any radio
in the Tsunami network) to establish telephone communication between Slles. Thls
communication does not interrupt or interfere with the other radio communicatlons.
The radio link must be operational to use this facility. The orderwire feature can be
very usefultor installation, maintenance and troubleshooting.
This connector is used to link two Tsunami radios at a repeater site for Orderwire
operation. This would allow ordenivire "telephone" calls to and from any point in the
Tsunami network
VF
The Tsunami order-wire circuit can also be connected to other existing
ordemire networks. See Section 3.14.1 for details.
ALARM This connector is used for monitoring alarms electrically. The Fon'n C relays can be
connected to other transmisSion equipment for monitoring alarm status locally or
remotely,

315.2 Line-ot-Sight and Path Clearance Guidelines
The Tsunami radios will not operate properly unless they have Iine-of-sight between their
corresponding antennas. The Tsunamii radio transmission will not pass through trees or other
obstacles. Factors to consrder include:
- Earth curvature
- Future growth of trees
— Height of buildings
in addition to the line—of-sighl reqUirernent, a well-engineered path will also have additional path
clearance to allow for signal loss due 10 partial obstmclionsr atmospheric ducting and ground
reflections. To maximize radio reception, 0.6 times the first Fresnel zone should be calculated and
this distance added to the path clearance (in additinn to trees or buildings).

3.3.3 RSL Calculation and Link Budget
The received signal level (HSL) can be estimated using the following formula:
RSL (dBm) = PM - FL,+ e‘ + 52 - FLE - L,
where: Pm is the transmitter output power (in dBm)
FL‘ is the feeder loss at the transmit side (in dB)
G1 is the gain of the transmit antenna (in dB)
(32 is the gain at the receive antenna (in dB)
FL? is the feeder loss of the receive side (in dB)
L9 is the Path loss, defined by:
Lp (dB) = 96.6 + 20 Iong + 20 Iong
where: F = Frequency in GHz (2.4 m 5.8)
D = Distance at path in miles
This link budget is very important for determining any potential problems during installation. It you
have calculated the expected RSL, you can see it it has been achieved during installation, and
truubleshoot it necessary.

3.3.4 Fade Margin Calculation
The tade margin is the difference between the actual received signal and the radrc's threshold.
Using the formula provided in Section 3 3.3. the anticipated Fist. can be calculated. Compare this
RSL to the specified threshold of the Tsunami radro (shown in Section 2.2) and calculate the fade
margin as the dliterence between the two signal levels
3.3.5 Avcllablllty Culculalion
Availability of the microwave path rs a measure at the percent of the time that the link will operate
without producing an excessive BER due to multrpath fading, In the absence of direct interference,
availabllity is attested by the lolluwrng: ‘
- Path length
- Fade margin
- Frequency (53 or 5.3 GHz in the case cl these TSUUEJTN radios]
- Terrain (smooth, average. mountainous)
- Climate (dry, temperate, hot/humid)
Depending on the type at traffic carried over the link, the system designer may wish to design for
a spechlc availability. For example. it the data or vorce traffic that is carried by the radio is critical
then it may be designed for a very high availability (eg. 99.999% or 5.3 minutes of outage per
year). To rmprove availabilim lor example. the lade margin can be increased by makmg the path
shorter, or by using higher gain antennas in conjunction wilh lower loss feeders (by using high
quality transmission line or shortening feed length).

3.3.6 Frequency Pldn Determination
when configuring radios in a hub or repeater configuration, caretul engineering at the Tsunami
radio frequency plans and antenna locations should be penormed in order to minimize potential
interference between the nearby radios. As a rule of thumb, do not place identical frequency plan
radios (e.g. two “A" channel radios) at the same site, In most cases, it is desirable to use a
different frequency plan leg. A versus 3}. However, with careful engineering, piecing more than
one radio of the same frequency channei plan at the same site is easiiy accomplished. In fact, the
Tsunami frequency plan is designed to aifow complex hub configurations that may require re-
ustng the same frequency plan. When designing these types of configurations, antenna size and
antenna iocation are crittcaL If identical channel pians must be used at the same site. the same
radio channel (eg. A1 and A1) should be used at a site to minimize interference. Using alternate
channels (eg. Al and A2) is less likely to be successful (and therefore not recommended) due to
the high level of transmitter to receiver isolation required from the antenna system.
Sometimes it is required to locate the Tsunami radio nearby a transmitter that is the same as, or
close to the Tsunamr receive or transmit lriequencies. In this case. the Tsunami terminal that
should be placed closest to this intenering transmitter should be the specific terminal with the
receive frequency which is furthest from this unwanted transmitted frequency. This approach
minimizes the potentiai cl interference. While interference conditions are rare when using the
Tsunami radios, cases of interference may be overcome by exchanging the radios from end to
end or simply reinstalling a different fiiter unit (it applicable), as described in Section 4.2. In some
cases, changing lrequency plans leg. from A to B] can also help mitigate any interlerence.
Section 4.8 of this manual describes interference
countermeasures in further deiaii.

3.3.7 Power Supply Planning
The Tsunami radio must have access to a supply at appropriate power, either DC or AC (if the AC
adapter option has been ordered). The Tsunami can be powered lrorn a DC battery system, or
from a solar or generator power plant, usually with battery reserves. Typically either a positive or
negative ground 24 or 48 volt supply is used. For DC, be sure the cable is oi sufficient gauge to
carry the necessary current and It is less than three (3) meters (9.75 leaf) in length.
Before installing the radio, plan lor the continuous power consumption needs in accordance with
the specifications given in Section 2.2 oi this manual. It is also wise to plan lor backup power tor
critical communication circuits (including the Tsunami radio). Backup power ailows the radios and
associated equipment to continue operation when prrmerypower is interrupted.
3.3.8 Antenna Planning
Using path planning mathematics. proper antenna size can be determined which will yield the
desired path performance. In general, the larger the antenna that is used with the Tsunami radio,
the better the link will perform. Larger antennas have narrower beamwidth and higher gain, which
will yield better link perlormanoe (higher lade margin. better availability] and improve immunity to
interference tdue to the smaller beamwidtns], However, larger antennas are more costly to
purchase and install than smaller antennas, in some cases requiring special equipment for
installation. All at these factors should be taken into consideration when selecting antennas.
use of larger antennas will marntain the benefit of narrow
beamwmths and receive gain. However, output power may need
to be reduced to meet regulations. (See Section 3.13.1)
@ In areas where transmitted oumut power restrictions apply, the
Prior to installation, the speoilic antenna location and mounting should be determined. This
advanced planning also yields the transmission line requirements.
Only directional antennas should be used with Tsunami

The Tsunami radio is equipped with an N-type temaie connector at the antenna port located on
the rear panel, A short length (45 feet) jumper cable such as RG»214 coax (or “prg1aii"l fitted with
two N-type mate connectors can be used tn connect the antenna port to the antenna transmission
line (see Section 3.9). The recommended cable type for a jumper is REE-214.
A low loss 50~ohm cable (for example LDF4-50 1/2 inch coax) or EW—52 waveguide is
recommended torthe antenna transmission line between the top at the rack and the antenna. The
return loss presented by the transmission line at the top at the rack should be as high as possible
120 dB, minimum recommended). The length at the antenna transmission line should be kept as
short as possrble (to minimize losses).
To minimize feeder losses, the use of elliptrcal waveguide is recommended (typical loss is 1125
(15/100 ft) for leeder lengths in excess of 20K) teet. Depending on path length and feeder length.
1/2 inch or 5/8 inch coax cable can be used.

3.9 Transmission Llne Connection
The transmission line feeder (such as LDF4-50 1/2 inch coax cable or EW-52 elliptical
waveguide) should be prepared first by cutting to the approxtmate length (allowing some excess)
and installing the appropriate connector on the antenna and
The prepared transmission line is then pulled through the cable ducts, trays or conduit (as
required) to the antenna, while being careful not to kink or damage the transmission line in any
way.
The transmission line should be supported in a tray on horizontal runs and by hangers on vertical
runs. Hangers should be spaced according to the manutacturers instructions (typically every 5
test under conditions of no ice and not greater than 55 mph winds).
The transmissmn line should be grounded using the manufactures recommended grounding kit.
Grounding kits attach to the outer copper conductor. Grounds must be installed at the antenna, at
the bottom oi the tower (if applicable} and where the transmission line enters the building. Long
transmission line runs shouid be grounded every 100 feet. in areas of high incidence 01 lightning,
dissipaters should be attached to antennas. In addition, coaxial, in-line, spark-gap type, lightning
suppressors should be added at the bottom of the coax cable betore entering the
building/enclosure.
Any in-llne lightning protection device must be rated for the
@ operating frequency of the Tsunami (5.3/5.8 GHz).
After installation, the transmission line is terminated with an N-type male connector/adapter
attached at the equipment end. For waveguide, this typically requires a CPR-tc-N adapter.
Prior to operation, the electrical integrity oi the transmission line, including all connectors, can be
checked with a simple DC check between the center conductor and outer conductor. (This is
neither possible, nor required for waveguide).
The transmission line should ideally be connected directly to the antenna at one end and to the
Tsunami antenna port at the other end, However. short Hts-214 type pigtail jumper cables may be
required to avoid sharp bends in the transmission line to limit stress on either connection.
33a. 7/8 inch coax cable or large is not recommended for use at 5.3

The antenna installation consists of permanently mounting the antenna outdoors on a tower,
building roof, or other location that provides line»oi»sight path clearance to the tar-end location. in
general, antennas smaller than 2 teet diameter are not remmmended for urban areas due to their
wider beamwldths, which results in higher inlederence susceptibility,
Antennas should he ordered with a suitable mounting kit specific to the site requirements. For
example, specltying round or angle lower leg adapters, ora root tripod as necessary.
The antenna must be very rigidly mounted, with adequate room for azimuth and elevation
adiustment tram the rear.
The antenna polarization must be the same at both ends 01 the link, elzher vertical or horizontal.
in general, antenna mountings require a support pipe to which upper and lower support brackets
are attached With “U’ bolts, The antenna and optional elevation and azimuth adjustment rods are
then mounted onto the support brackets. The whole structure must be adequately grounded tor
lightning protection. The antenna system must always be installed according to the manutacturer‘s
instructions.
Unless special test equipment lS available, two operating Tsunami terminals are required to align
the antennas. Allemat‘rvely. a CW generator may be used to transmit a signal toward the and
under alignment.
The antenna is coarse aligned using visual sightzng and then fine aligned using the receive signal

To coarse align the antenna, tirst set it for flat elevation (no up or down tilt) using a spirit level.
Then point it at a headlng marker obtained usrng a compass back-bearing from an adjacent
location, (ideally, 100 teet or more away from the antenna).
lf a heading marker cannot be set sufficiently tar away (tor example when on a city building root or
looking through a window) then a rough azimuth setting can be obtained by sighting along the
antenna teed.

. it should be verified that both antennas are on the same
. ' polarization by using the manufacturer’s instructions. Otherwise
' ' the ESL will be approximately 25 to so dB below the calculated
level.
Most antennas will also need fine alignment obtained using an operating link because it is very
important to maximize the receive RF signal level at each end oi the radio link.
@ Plead Section 3.7beicre applying Dc poweric the Tsunami radio.
Once the coarse alignment has been set-up at both ends, then the link can be powered and some
level of reliable communication established. The voltage at the Tsunami from panel RSL test point
should be measured with a DVM to determine the relative receive RF signal level.
For the fine alignment. adjusting first the azimuth and then the elevation at the local antenna will
maximize the RSL voltage. Than= the tar antenna is aligned in the same way‘ using the RSL
voltage of its local Tsunami radio.
When aligning antennas it may be convenient to run two wires from the ESL and ground lest
points to the antenna so that the voltmeter reading is directly visible to the technicians aligning the
antenna. Also, a cellular telephone or two-way radio may be useful for coordinating alignment
aci'rvrties between both ends at the link. Once the radios are coarse aligned and synchronized, the
built-in orderwire phone service can also be used to coordinate alignment between both ends of
the link.
An orderwire telephone will provide end-to-end voice
communications once radios are synchronized. Synchronization
usually can be accomplished by coarse alignment only. After
synchronization, the ordervw’re phones can be used to communicate
benlveen radio sites for antenna line alignment. The phone
interconnect cable can be extended to the antenna when desired.
The larger the antenna size, the more critical alignment becomes: lor example with a 2 foot dish,
the antenna can be moved 13 degrees oil the correct heading before the receive signal level
drops by 3 dB. This compares with a B-ioot dish which may only be moved 11 degree for the
same degradation
The graph shown m Figure 3—6 shows the typical variaficn of ESL voltage as the receive signal
level is increased from threshold to a higher level. There is some variation between Tsunami
receivers. but an approxrmate estimate of the potential RSL value may be made using this ligure.
lgfim Use the Factory Test Data sheet shipped with your Tsunami terminal to
“v’ obtain the best estimate cl your RSL.
Above 0 dBm RSL, the receiver may produce errors: however this level is rarely likely to be
exceeded. A link budget calculation should be made to calculate the anticipated HSL as described
ll’l Section 3.3.3. During anomalous propagafion conditions. the ESL may lade but will not
increase up more than 10 dB (except in unusual very long paths which may fade up by15 dB).
