To make optimal use of the 5054, you must find a suitable location for the hardware. The range of the unit largely depends upon the position of the antenna. Proxim recommends you do a site survey, observing the following requirements, before mounting the 5054 hardware.
Note the Ethernet and MAC addresses of the unit, as well as the serial number. The addresses may be used when configuring the unit. The serial number is required to obtain support from Proxim. Keep this information in a safe place.
step 4: remove covers In order to cable the unit for operation, you must first remove the front, back, and cable covers. Unlock the unit’s cable cover by pressing down on the cable cover lock located on the side of the unit. Pull the thin arm of the cable cover away from the unit and upward to remove the cable cover.
step 6: Mount the unit Choose from the following mounting options: ▪ Desktop Mount ▪ Wall Mount ▪ Ceiling Mount desktop Mount Fit the radio inside the back cover, with the serial connection and LED indicators facing out.

Remove the screws from the rubber feet. With the 5054 turned upside down, position the base against the ceiling where you want to mount the unit. Mark the center of the four mounting holes in the rubber feet. Set the 5054 aside and drill a hole at each of the locations you marked. Each hole should be wide enough to hold a mounting plug (6 mm x 35 mm).
step 8: View leds When the unit is powered on, the 5054 performs startup diagnostics. When startup is completed, the LEDs show the operational state of the 5054 (see the following figure). The following table shows the status of the LEDs when the 5054 is operational (the fourth LED is only used during Dynamic Frequency Selection on a BSU).
step 9: align the antenna Antenna alignment is the process of physically aligning the antenna of the radio receiver and transmitter to have the best possible link established between them. The antenna alignment process is usually performed during installation and after major repairs. Antenna Alignment Display (AAD) provides a measurement of signal quality in an easy-to-interpret manner—a numeric printed signal value at the CLI and serial ports.
step 11: install documentation and software To install the documentation and software on a computer or network: Place the CD in a CD-ROM drive. The installer normally starts automatically. (If the installation program does not start automatically, double click setup.exe on the installation CD.) The following documentation and software products are installed: ▪...
To set the IP address dynamically, ensure that Dynamic is selected as the IP Address Type. The unit will request its IP address from a DHCP server on your network. Enter the Read/Write Password (the default value is public) and click OK to confirm your changes.
