Step 1: Plan For Installation; Step 2: Choose A Location; Step 3: Gather Required Tools - Proxim Tsunami Multipoint MP-820-BSU-100 Installation Manual

Perform the following steps to install and mount the device.

Step 1: Plan for Installation

There are several planning factors to be considered before installing the device. In addition to selecting the installation site,
you should do the following:
Calculate:
Required RSL and fade margin to achieve link availability objectives. For more details on how to calculate RSL and fade
margin, please refer to the 'Antenna Installation Guide' and 'Proxim Link Calculator' that are available on the support
site at
Required path availability
Anticipated multi-path reflection points
Determine:
System frequency plan
Required antenna mounting height to obtain proper path clearance
Required transmission line types (like cable, waveguides) and lengths
Plan for:
Device's continuous power consumption needs
Lightning protection and system grounding
Hardware mounting
Cable installation including egress
Pre-testing equipment (back-to-back test procedure)

Step 2: Choose a Location

To make optimal use of the device, you must find a suitable location to install the hardware. The range of the radio device
largely depends upon the position of the antenna. Proxim recommends you do a site survey, observing the following
requirements, before mounting the hardware.
The location must allow easy disconnection of power to the radio, if necessary.
Ensure free flow of air around the hardware.
The radio device must be kept away from vibration and excessive heat.
The installation must conform to local regulations at all times.
The devices are 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 to mount 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.

Step 3: Gather Required Tools

You should have the following tools available before installing the device:
Cross-tip screwdrivers
Small blade standard screwdriver
Large blade standard screwdriver
Wire crimpers (if using connectors that are not pre-made)
Adjustable 6" wrench
Weatherproofing material for sealing external connectors (such as butyl tape)
Straight-through UV-protected STP-rated Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable for connecting to PC, or cable for connecting to a
hub or a switch.
