  • Page 9: Introduction

    Overview 1.1 Introduction The Tsunami MP-8100 is a wireless point-to-multipoint networking solution for any enterprise or small business markets. Tsunami MP-8100 Base station and Subscriber units are flexible wireless outdoor products that lets you design solutions for point-to-point links and point-to-multipoint networks. The MP-8100 kit contains everything you need to establish a point-to-multipoint connection.

  • Page 10: Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (Mimo)

    Overview Figure 1-1 Wireless Network Topology (Point-to-Multipoint-Link) A maximum of 250 SUs can be connected to a single BSU. Here, the BSU is equipped with either an omni-directional or a wide angle antenna, whereas the SUs are equipped with a directional antenna. 1.3 Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) is a smart antenna technology that offers tremendous performance gains for wireless devices at relatively low cost.

  • Page 11: Management And Monitoring Capabilities

    Overview Figure 1-2 3x3 MIMO The simplest spatially multiplexed MIMO system contains two transmit chains, two receive chains, and two data streams. When expanding such 2x2 architecture, several factors need to be considered. For example, at the device operating frequency of 2.4 GHz, the wavelength is 12 cm, the dimension of MP-8100 is ~35cm, hence a 2x2-receive-chain system has sufficient antenna diversity to receive two uncorrelated signals.

    Proxim Support site at http://support.proxim.com. WARNING! When connecting a device to the second Ethernet port (Eth2), Proxim recommends to verify if it is a 802.3af compatible device. If you are planning to use any other device, please insert a power splitter (not supplied) between the second Ethernet port and the device, otherwise it may damage the device.
  • Page 20 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.
  • Page 21 2. 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. Step 5: Assemble the Cable 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.
  • Page 22 Installation and Initialization Step 6: 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. 2. Attach the extension arm (B) to the mounting piece (A) with the screw, nut, and washers provided, as shown below. The extension arm gives the device more tilt, letting you adjust for azimuth or elevation over a larger angle.
