Page 9: Step 2: Choose A Location
To make optimal use of the unit, you must find a suitable location for the hardware. The range of the radio unit largely depends upon the position of the antenna. Proxim recommends you do a site survey, observing the following requirements, before mounting the hardware. -
Page 10: Step 3: Gather Required Tools
Note the Ethernet and MAC addresses of the unit, as well as the serial number; these addresses may be used when configuring the unit. Note: The serial number is required to obtain support from Proxim. Keep this information in a safe place. Page 10... -
Page 11: Step 5: Determine Proper Mounting Orientation
step 5: determine Proper Mounting orientation 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 integral antenna, the arrow should be horizontal (parallel to the ground). -
Page 12: Step 6: Assemble Mounting Hardware
Attach the mounting bracket (C) to extension arm (B) with the screw, nut, and washers provided. Tighten the assembly (Torque 15 N∙m/130 in-lbs). The following figure shows the full assembly attached to the unit. Page 1 Copyright © 007 Proxim Wireless... - Page 13 Note that this figure is for illustration only. 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. Also, on units with direct-connected omni antennas, the enclosure must be mounted with the lower side in the horizontal position.

RJ45 “Data In” port on the PoE adapter. To connect the unit directly to a PC, connect a cross-over Ethernet cable between the network interface card in the PC and the RJ45 “Data In” port on the power injector. Page 1 Copyright © 007 Proxim Wireless... -
Page 17: Step 10: Power On The Unit
step 10: Power on the unit The unit is equipped with a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) module. Using PoE, you can provide electricity and wired connectivity to the unit over a single Category 5 cable. Although the power injector that is supplied with the unit is 802.3af- compatible, standard 802.3af-compliant power modules will not properly power the units. -

Page 19: Step 12: Align The Antenna
step 12: align the antenna Antenna alignment is a process to physically align the antenna of the radio receiver or transmitter for the best possible radio link between them. The units have an audible antenna alignment tool that can be activated by plugging in the serial dongle (supplied with every BSU) or by issuing the CLI command for antenna alignment (see “Antenna Alignment Commands”). -
Page 20: Step 13: Tighten The Cables
The lock nut (C) on the sealing cap/lock nut assembly (B) must be fully tightened over the RJ45 connector before the sealing nut (D) is fully tightened. Otherwise, the Ethernet cable may twist and damage. Page 0 Copyright © 007 Proxim Wireless... -
Page 21: Step 14: Weatherproof The Connectors
After you have fully assembled and tightened the cable, use the provided self-fusing, rubber-based tape strip and electrical tape (not provided; Proxim recommends Scotch™ Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical Tape) to seal the connection, as follows. Remove the film liner from the rubber-based tape strip, and stretch the tape until it is approximately half of its original width. -

Page 26: Basic Configuration
Transmit Power Control is a manual configuration selection to reduce the output power in the radio. The maximum output power level for the operating frequency can be found in the event log of the unit embedded software. Page Copyright © 007 Proxim Wireless... - Page 27 ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control) is a feature to automatically adapt transmit power when the quality of the link is more than sufficient to maintain a good communication with reduced transmit power. This feature is required for FCC DFS. By default, the unit lets you transmit at the maximum output power that the unit can sustain for data rate and frequency selected.
