Hardware Overview - Proxim Tsunami MP-8100 Series Installation And Management Manual

2.1 Hardware Overview

The device contains a state-of-the-art wireless radio, a high-gain performance dual polarized flat-panel antenna or 3 N-Type
connectors to use external antennas, and a GigE Power-over-Ethernet, which can also power the external device connected to
the second Ethernet port. The unit also has built-in surge protection on its Ethernet port and on N-Type Connectors.
The Tsunami MP-8100 series has three major product variants based on the antenna configuration. MP-8100-BSU is a
connectorized version of the Wireless Outdoor Tsunami Base Station Unit containing 3 N-Type connectors for using external
antennas. MP-8100-SUA is a connectorized version of the Wireless Outdoor Tsunami Subscriber Unit containing 3 N-Type
connectors for using external antennas. MP-8150-SUR is a full-featured Wireless Outdoor Tsunami Subscriber Unit with
Integrated Antenna.
There are two ethernet ports with auto-sensing 10/100/1000 BASE-T with configurable Tx Modes and Speeds. The GigE
port-1 is intended for PoE input and GigE port-2 is for PoE output.
2.1.1 GigE Power-over-Ethernet
The unit has a built-in PoE module, which provides power and wired connectivity to the unit over a single Ethernet Port. It's
always recommended to use the supplied Power Injector.
•
The PoE integrated module provides 48 VDC over a standard Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable.
•
Maximum power supplied from the unit's Ethernet Port-2 to another external PoE-compliant device is approximately
15 Watts.
Above 0° Celsius internal temperature, the unit does not need to regulate its temperature, so the power draw is generally
lower in this temperature range. When the internal temperature gets close to the limits, the unit starts to heat itself and the
power draw increases. Powering the device when it is cold triggers a special self-heat mode where the unit is inoperable until
the internal temperature is above -20° Celsius. This is signaled by a solid yellow LED on the Ethernet connector. Once the
internal temperature is above -20° Celsius, the unit boots normally.
