Proxim Tsunami MP.11 and MP.11a CPN 65755B Manual De Usuario

To make optimal use of the MP.11/a, you must find a suitable location for the hardware. The radio range 
of the MP.11/a largely depends upon the position of the antenna.  Proxim recommends you do a site 
survey, observing the following requirements, before mounting the MP.11/a hardware. 

▪ 

The location must allow easy disconnection of the unit from the power outlet if necessary. 

▪ 

The unit must not be covered and the air must be able to flow freely around the unit. 

▪ 

The unit must be kept away from vibration, excessive heat, and humidity, and kept free from dust. 

▪ 

The installation must conform to local regulations at all times. 

Note:  For this reason, European installers should not add an antenna or an amplifier until the 

MP.11a Country is selected (using the Web interface, click the Configure button and the 
System tab) and the unit is rebooted.  The output power level of the final channel selected 
by DFS scan can be found in the Event Log (see “Event Log” on page 43). 

▪ 

If you do not use Active Ethernet, the unit must be connected to proper grounding using the Faston 
plug on the metal case (regular 6.3 mm width plug). 

 

Note:   Whether Power-over-Ethernet or local power is used, the metal case must ALWAYS be 

grounded, either through the Faston connector or a ground wire connected to the metal case in 
another manner.  (The Faston is the standard 6.3 mm width plug.)
