Tsunami MP.11 Installation and Management
Chapter 1. Overview
The Tsunami MP.11 is a flexible wireless Outdoor Router that lets you design solutions for point-to-
point links and point-to-multipoint networks.
The MP.11 is a product family, comprising several products (such as the mp.11 2411 Base Station
and the MP.11 2411 Residential Subscriber unit). For simplification, all products that are part of the

Some of the key features of the MP.11 are:
▪ The use of a highly optimized protocol for outdoor situations
▪ Routing and bridging capability
▪ Asymmetric bandwidth management
▪ Management through a Web Interface, a Command Line Interface (CLI), or Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP)
