MP.11-R Installation and Management Installation and Initialization This chapter describes the steps required to install and mount the unit, and to align the antenna. An antenna cable is required only when you use the external antenna option. Note that the unit must have either the integrated antenna or must be connected to an external antenna for its operation.
Installation and Initialization MP.11-R Installation and Management Hardware Overview Hardware Overview The unit contains a state-of-the-art wireless radio, an optional high-gain performance flat-panel antenna, and Power- over-Ethernet (the sole means of power for the unit). For further protection, the unit has internal, built-in surge protection. Power-over-Ethernet The unit is equipped with a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) module.
Installation and Initialization MP.11-R Installation and Management Hardware Overview The connections are as follows: D-Shell RJ11 1 + 3 + 5 External Antenna Connection One model of the SU has an integrated antenna; all other models have an external antenna connector (N-type) and no integrated antenna.

You will be attaching an outdoor-rated 24 AWG CAT5e/CAT6 cable to the Power-over-Ethernet port on the lower side of the unit. Proxim greatly simplifies this assembly process by offering pre-assembled RJ45 terminated, UV Rated, STP CAT5e/CAT6 cable kits in 25m, 50m, and 75m lengths (part numbers 76590, 76591, and 76592, respectively).
Installation and Initialization MP.11-R Installation and Management Hardware Installation Step 4: Determine Proper Mounting Orientation 1. Locate the arrow on the back of the unit and determine your desired mounting orientation. For vertical polarization using the integrated antenna, the arrow should be pointing up (perpendicular to the ground). For horizontal polarization using the integrated antenna, the arrow should be horizontal (parallel to the ground).
Installation and Initialization MP.11-R Installation and Management Hardware Installation Step 5: Assemble Mounting Hardware 1. Attach the mounting plate (A) using the provided screws and washers (Torque 9 N . m/75 in-lbs), such that the unit’s antenna will be vertically or horizontally polarized when mounted. Torque 9 N .
Installation and Initialization MP.11-R Installation and Management Hardware Installation The following figure shows the full assembly attached to the unit. Note that this figure is for illustration only. The unit depicted is equipped with external antenna connectors, which allows rectangular mounting. Units with integrated antennas must always be mounted in diagonal position to achieve vertical or horizontal polarization as indicated by the arrow on the back of the unit.
Installation and Initialization MP.11-R Installation and Management Hardware Installation Step 7: Plug in the Cables 1. Plug one end of the CAT5e/CAT6 cable into the RJ45 jack of the unit. 2. Connect the free end of the CAT5e/CAT6 cable to the “Data and Power Out” port on the power injector. 3.

Adding the radio’s IP address as a Trusted site should fix this problem.
Save command, a power outage would wipe out all changes since the last reboot. For example, entering static routes takes effect immediately; however, the routes are not saved until the unit has gone through a controlled reboot. Proxim strongly recommends saving your settings immediately when you finish making changes. Rebooting When you reboot, the changes you have made become effective and the unit is restarted.

Configuration MP.11-R Installation and Management System Parameters The use of Routing mode requires more attention to the configuration of the unit and thorough planning of the network topology of your outdoor network. The unit can use Routing mode in any combination of BSU and SUs. For example, you may have the BSU in Routing mode and the SU in Bridge mode, or vice versa.
Page 63
Configuration MP.11-R Installation and Management System Parameters 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.

Configuration MP.11-R Installation and Management Network Parameters Note that an SU may roam from one BSU with a bandwidth setting to another BSU with a different bandwidth setting. Since in this case more channels need to be scanned than with only one channel bandwidth setting, it is important that the channel priority list mentioned above is properly used to limit scanning time.
Configuration MP.11-R Installation and Management Network Parameters DHCP Server When enabled, the DHCP server allows allocation of IP addresses to hosts on the Ethernet side of the SU or BSU (or) to the connected SU's (in case, the DHCP server is enabled in BSU).

WDS link between two units connected to the same Ethernet network creates a network loop (if spanning tree is disabled). The Spanning Tree configuration options are advanced settings. Proxim recommends that you leave these parameters at their default values unless you are familiar with the Spanning Tree protocol.
Configuration MP.11-R Installation and Management Network Parameters SNTP-DNS SNTP-DNS Overview The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows for a network entity to communicate with time servers in the network/ internet to retrieve and synchronize time of day information. If SNTP feature is enabled, the device will attempt to retrieve the time of day from the configured time servers (primary or secondary).
Configuration MP.11-R Installation and Management Network Parameters Synchronizing Time of Day If the SNTP client is successful in retrieving the time of day information, then it resends time of day requests to the server it is communicating with every ten minutes.

Troubleshooting MP.11-R Installation and Management Link Problems Link Problems While wireless networking emerges more and more, the number of wireless connections to networks grows every day. The Tsunami MP.11 unit is one of the successful product families used by customers today who enjoy the day after day high-speed, cost-effective connections.
By turning the antenna 360 degrees, one can check from which direction the interference is coming. The analyzer will also display the frequencies and the level of signal is detected. Proxim recommends performing the test at various locations to find the most ideal location for the equipment. Avoiding Interference When a source of interference is identified and when the level and frequencies are known, the next step is to avoid the interference.
