    Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) The Tsunami MP.11 5054-R supports Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) domains per EN 301-893 regulations. The ETSI requires that 802.11a devices use DFS to prevent interference with radar systems and other devices that already occupy the 5 GHz band.

  • Page 27: Transmit Power Control

    Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Radar detection is performed only by the BSU and not by the SU. When an SU is set to a country in which DFS is used, it scans all available channels upon startup looking for a BSU that best matches its connection criteria (such as Base Station System Name, Network Name, and Shared Secret).

For delay-sensitive traffic the jitter must be equal to or less than the latency.
  • Page 32 Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management QoS Class A QoS class is defined by a set of parameters that includes the PIRs and SFCs that were previously configured. The software allows creating up to eight different QoS classes, including four predefined QoS classes. Up to four SF classes can be associated to each QoS class, and up to eight PIRs can be associated to each SF class.

    Note: If you have your Security Internet Options set to High, you may not be able to access the Web interface successfully; a high security setting disables JavaScript, which is required for running Proxim’s Web browser interface. Adding the unit’s IP address as a Trusted site should fix this problem.

You can envision a bridge as being a device that decides whether a message from you to someone else is going to the local area network in your building or to someone on the local area network in the building across the street.
  • Page 45 Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Key Reasons to Use Routing Mode One key reason why customers would use Routing mode is to implement virtual private networks (VPNs) or to let nodes behind two different SUs communicate with each other. Many customers do this same thing in Bridging mode by using secondary interfaces on the router at the BSU or virtual interfaces at the BSU in VLAN mode to avoid some of the drawbacks of IP Routing mode.
  • Page 46 Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Notes: • One of the most important details to pay attention to in Routing mode are the unit’s and the PC’s default gateways. It is a common mistake to set up the PC’s gateway to point to the SU when the SU is in Bridge mode and the BSU is in Routing mode.
