Proxim TSUNAMI CPN 65756B User Manual

Proxim Corporation offers multiple antennas to set up a wireless link.  As the mounting procedures for the 

various antennas differ from one another, consult the documentation you received from the antenna 

manufacturer for mounting procedures. 

When mounting multiple antennas on a single mast, use the following methods to minimize the influence of 

cross-talk interference between the antennas: 

▪ 

Place your antennas as far apart as you can. 

▪ 

Alternate the mounting of directional antennas for vertical and horizontal polarization. 

Once the antenna is properly installed, you can connect the antenna to the Base Station or Subscriber Unit 

by way of the surge arrestor: 

1.  Connect the antenna cable to the antenna. 

2.  Secure the antenna cable to the mast so that the cable connectors do not support the full weight of the 

cable. 

3.  Connect the opposite end of the antenna cable to the surge arrestor. 

4.  Prior to securing the cable along its complete length, run the Link Test diagnostics of the management 

tools that comes with Tsunami MP.11a to analyze wireless performance and optimal placement of the 

outdoor antenna.  How to use this tools is described in the documentation that comes with the Tsunami 

MP.11a or can be from the Proxim website at 

5.  If required, adjust the direction of the antenna. 

6.  Once the installation has been fully tested, tighten the nuts of the antenna to “lock” the antenna into its 

position. 

7.  Secure the cable along its complete length with cable ties or electrical tape to relieve strain on the 

antenna connector properly.  No part of the cable should be allowed to hang free. This is especially 

important for those parts that are routed outside the building. 

8.  Proceed as described in the next section to weatherproof all outdoor coax connectors.
