Proxim TSUNAMI CPN 65756B User Manual

Note:  The allowed antenna cables depend upon local radio regulations, the frequency, and the antenna 

For optimal performance of your outdoor wireless link, the signal path between the Base Station Unit and 

Subscriber Unit must provide sufficient clearance. 

Note:  A outdoor wireless link that lacks sufficient clearance will suffer from poor performance, which is 

typically perceived as slow network response times.  Although your Tsunami MP.11a equipment 
automatically retransmits every lost data frame due to an out-of-range situation or frame collision, the 
larger the number of retransmissions, the lower the throughput efficiency of your wireless link. 

This section explains how to determine the clearance that applies in your environment and (if applicable) the 

effect of insufficient clearance on the range of your outdoor wireless link. 

In “Chapter 1. Preparing for Installation” on page 8, we described the shape of the antenna beam as being 

“bulged” in the middle. 

 

If any significant part of this bulged zone is obstructed, a portion of the radio energy is lost, which can affect 

the performance of your wireless link in terms of maximum range and transmit rate.
