Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Chapter 4. System Diagnostics and Operating Tips This section describes several diagnostic tests you can perform once the Tsunami MP equipment is installed. These tests assist you in determining whether the equipment is functioning as expected. In addition, we include some miscellaneous useful information for deploying a Multipoint network. Radio Diagnostics Use the diagnostic tools described in this section to determine if your wireless link is stable.
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Monitor the Es/No ratio (Es/No reports the energy per symbol-to-noise spectral density ratio (in dB)). Low Es/N0 or varying Es/N0 can indicate path or interference problems.
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide 2. When finished, disable the SU log by entering SUlog1 0 (zero) or SUlog2 0 (zero) (depending upon which log you displayed). SUlog1 provides the following information: SU ID The Terminal ID of the monitored SU. RSL Shows the shows the RSL (receiver signal level) at the output of the antenna (in dBm). TX Power Shows the SU’s TX power at the input to the antenna (in dBm).
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide IB pkts Shows the number of inbound packets transmitted. OB pkts Shows the number of outbound packets received. OB PE Shows the number of outbound packet errors. OB PER Shows the error rate for outbound packets received. Time Shows the cumulative polling time (in seconds). Figure 26. SU Log 2 Uplink BER Test The Uplink BER Test determines the BER (bit error rate) of the uplink signal.
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Figure 27. BER Log in Base Station Configuration Software 4. Monitor the BER test results. The Es/No is reported in column 1 and BER is reported in column 2. The BER should initially read 0E-6 or oE-7 but then change to 0E-8 and finally to 0E-9 while the test is running. This corresponds to 0 (zero) bit errors. The numbers in parentheses indicates the number of errors over the total.
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Make sure that an SU and its directly connected devices are in the same subnet. The subnet address of a device can be obtained by performing a logical “AND” of the device’s IP address with its subnet mask. A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 implies that there are 255 IP addresses within the same subnet.
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Password Protection Tsunami Multipoint provides two levels of password protection: ▪ user level – lets the user display the system’s current status only. ▪ admin level – lets the user display the system’s status and change its configuration. The default password is “null.” Password protection for either password level (user or admin) can be turned on and off. By default, password protection is turned off.
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Turning Off Password Protection To turn off password protection, from the BSU console, enter setpw where: = either admin or user, depending upon which level of password protection you want to remove. For example, if the current admin password is “superuser,” to remove the admin password, enter setpw admin superuser null null. = the old password.
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Activating Range Security The Range Security option helps prevent unauthorized SUs from communicating with a BSU. When the Range Security option is on, if an SU attempts to enter the network, the BSU checks the range value reported by the SU. This works as follows: ▪ The first time the SU tries to enter the network, the SU’s range is stored in the BSU’s flash memory for future reference.
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Appendix A. Initial Settings Specify the Desired Modulation (Data Rate) To configure the BSU to use the modulation setting required by your application (20, 30, 40, or 60 Mbps), from the BSU console, enter modulation , where: = 0 (zero) = QAM16 (60 Mbps) 1 = QAM8 (40 Mbps) 2 = QPSK3Q (30 Mbps) 3 = QPSK1H (20 Mbps) The BSU automatically restarts and then comes up with the new modulation setting.
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Change the Frequency Plan and Operating Frequency Tsunami Multipoint offers several frequency plans and operating frequencies to provide a means for overcoming interference. If one part of the 5.8 GHz spectrum is occupied when you deploy the product, you can select a different frequency plan to bypass the interfering frequency.

Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Remote Over-the-Air Download to SUs You can upgrade your SUs to Version 1.3 from the Base Station Configuration Software Console of the BSU. Normally, all SUs in the network are upgraded at the same time. However, if one or more SUs fail to receive the download code correctly, the upgrade is aborted and a second attempt must be made. SUs that have been upgraded successfully ignore reprogramming of the same codes. To download remotely to SUs: 1.

Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Appendix E. Lightning Protection Recommendations This appendix describes Proxim Lightning Protection Recommendations for: ▪ Tsunami Multipoint Base Station Unit 40400-25/-65 ▪ Tsunami Multipoint Subscriber Unit 40100-251/-252/-651/-652 Introduction What is Lightning Protection? All outdoor electronic equipment is susceptible to lightning damage. Proper grounding to national and local codes is instrumental in providing human safety.
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Recommendation Proxim recommends the following for its Tsunami Multipoint products: Installation Requirement Proxim Product Industrial Commercial SOHO Tsunami Multipoint Base Station Unit (BSU) 20/60 Mbps Models (1) (1) (1) or (2) (up to 50 meters) Tsunami Multipoint Subscriber Unit (SU) 20/40/60 Mbps Models (1) (1) or (2) (up to 50 meters) (1) or (2) (up to 50 meters) (1) PolyPhaser 101-1218W-A.
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Transtector Systems Surge Supressor This outdoor-use, molded plastic, weather-tight enclosure is a surge suppressor designed to protect the Tsunami Multipoint SU and the QuickBridge unit from lightning damage. This product can be used for CAT5 cable lengths up to 50 meters from the outdoor Tsunami unit to indoor power adapter. The 1101-TSU uses silicon avalanche suppression diodes (SASD) to provide lower voltage protection level (VPL).
Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide Where Should the Protection Units be Located? At least one unit should be installed near every outdoor Tsunami unit. General guidelines are: ▪ Locate protection unit as close to the outdoor Tsunami unit as possible, where the lightning protection unit can be securely mounted to a flat surface and grounded properly. Ideally, this should be no further than five feet away from the outdoor unit.
