Installation and Initialization Tsunami MP.11 5012/5054-SUI Installation and Management Installation Procedure Installation Procedure The following installation procedure provides instructions for attaching both the power and Ethernet connectors. In situations without an external antenna (for example, during a desk tryout), the antenna cable is not required. If you are already familiar with this type of product, you can use the Quick Install Guide for streamlined installation procedures.
To make optimal use of the 5012/5054-SUI, 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 5012/5054-SUI hardware.
Installation and Initialization Tsunami MP.11 5012/5054-SUI Installation and Management Installation Procedure Step 3: Attach Cables Cabling without Power Over Ethernet (PoE) 1. Plug the barrel of the power cable from the power supply into the power jack (the leftmost port in the back of the unit, see figure).
Installation and Initialization Tsunami MP.11 5012/5054-SUI Installation and Management Installation Procedure Step 4: Install the Security Cover (Optional) You can optionally install a security cover to deter unauthorized access to the 5012/5054-SUI. The security cover is a plastic enclosure that prevents access to the cabling and the Reset and Reload buttons.
Installation and Initialization Tsunami MP.11 5012/5054-SUI Installation and Management Installation Procedure Step 5: Mount the Unit The following are the mounting options for the 5012/5054-SUI: • Wall Mounting • Ceiling Mounting Wall Mounting Follow these steps to mount the unit on a wall: 1.
Installation and Initialization Tsunami MP.11 5012/5054-SUI Installation and Management Installation Procedure Step 6: Power On the Unit The 5012/5054-SUI can be powered by a power supply (just plug the power adaptor into an AC power outlet), or by Active Ethernet (connect an Active Ethernet DC injector to the Ethernet cable).
Replace one of the small plastic caps onto the remaining open hole on the front. 4. Refer to the Tsunami MP.11 Antenna Installation Guide for information on how to cable the pigtail to the antenna, as well as for the mounting and connection of antennas.
Installation and Initialization Tsunami MP.11 5012/5054-SUI Installation and Management Installation Procedure Step 9: Align the Antenna Antenna Alignment Display (AAD) provides a measurement of signal quality in an easy-to-interpret manner—a numeric printed signal value at the CLI. The SNR is numerically displayed on the CLI by two decimal characters representing a number from 00 to 99.

This chapter describes basic features and functionality of the unit. In most cases, configuring these basic features is sufficient. The “Glossary” in the Tsunami MP.11/QB.11 Reference Manual provides a brief explanation of the terms used. For CLI commands you can use for basic management, see “Command Line Interface” in the Tsunami MP.11/QB.11 Reference Manual.
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 5012/5054-SUI is restarted.
