T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T Safety Instructions I M PORT AN T This product has been evaluated to the U.S. and Canadian (Bi-National) Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment, Including Electrical Business Equipment, CAN/CSA C22.2, No. 950-95 * UL 1950, Third Edition, including revisions through revision date March 1, 1998, which are based on the Fourth Amendment to IE C 950, Second Edition.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T Figure 1- 1- 1: Proper Earthing/Grounding Servicing of this product should be performed by trained personnel only. Do not disassemble this product. By opening or removing any covers you may expose yourself to hazardous energy parts. Incorrect re-assembly of this product can cause a malfunction, and/or electrical shock when the unit is subsequently used. Do not insert any objects of any shape or size inside this product while powered.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T CAUTION The outdoor units of the Tsunami Multipoint products must be fixed mounted on permanent structures with a separation distance of at least 1.5 meters from all persons during normal operation.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T Chapter 2 2. System Overview A system is made up of one to six Base Stations that make up a Hub (or cell) with each Base Station communicating with their associated SUs (Subscriber Units). Together, they provide a wide coverage, high-capacity system that transfers IP traffic between the Hub and its multiple SUs. Each Hub has the ability to communicate in all directions using up to six sectors of 60 degrees each.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T Site Planning Considerations The installation of a wireless network requires much the same basic planning as any wired network. The main difference is that the wireless signal requires some additional planning. This planning includes RF path planning, site preparation, and installation of outdoor components such as outdoor units, antennas, lightning protection devices, and cabling suitable for outdoor conditions.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T Weather It is important to research any unusual weather conditions that are common to the site location. These conditions can include excessive amounts of rain, wind velocity or extreme temperature ranges. If extreme conditions exist that may affect the integrity of the radio link, it is recommended that these conditions be taken into consideration early in the planning process.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T site is in an active lightning area, attention to thorough lightning protection and grounding is critical. LI GH T N I N G PROT ECT I ON To provide effective lightning protection, install antennas in locations that are unlikely to receive direct lightning strikes, or install lightning rods to protect antennas from direct strikes. Make sure that cables and equipment are properly grounded to provide low-impedance paths for lightning currents.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T Antennas Antennas frequently play a key role in reducing the potential for interference. They come in a variety of configurations that have different performance characteristics in the areas of gain and directionality. Antennas that transmit/receive in all directions are known as omni-directional, while those that transmit/receive in one specific direction are categorized as directional.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T T OWERS When planning antenna placement, it might be necessary to build a free-standing tower for the antenna. Regulations and limitations define the height and location of these towers with respect to airports, runways, and airplane approach paths. These regulations are controlled by the FAA. In some circumstances, the tower installations must be approved by the FAA, registered with the FCC, or both.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T without having to obtain a license. However, you must use radio equipment that is "type approved" by the FCC or local government for use within the specific band.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T Chapter 3 3. Quick Set-up Procedure Please read this section completely before attempting to install any software, test or operate this system. Permanent damage to the equipment can result if directions are not followed exactly as provided. This system is very sensitive to power supply operation and, if not powered up in the proper order, permanent damage may occur. Please read the power up sequence before applying power.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T SEE PHOTOS ON THE NEXT PAGE FOR CLARIFICATION For the case with the Base Station Unit (BSU), unpacking should be in the following steps: a. Remove power supply unit b. Remove loose cables and small mounting hardware in the bracket area c. Remove the top layer of foam being careful not to rip d. Remove large mounting bracket e. Remove BSU unit For the Subscriber Units (SU), unpacking should be in the following steps: a. Remove power supply units b.

T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T Softw are Installation 1. Insert the CD provided into the Windows-compatible PC that you intend to use for all unit configuration activities 2. Close all applications on the computer 3. Open CD file folders and open the folder named “jdk122” 4. Locate the “win9x” folder and open this folder 5. Identify the file called “jdk-1_2_2_005-win.exe” with the icon that typically looks like this and double-click to launch installation of the Java Developers Kit 6.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T Hub Site Equipment Configuration (BSU) a. Initiate your PC’s IP address to 192.168.20.xxx (where xxx is anything other than 120) b. Set Subnet Mask on your PC to 255.255.255.0 c. Restart your PC if required d. Initiate Ethernet Console on your PC by double-clicking on this icon Ethernet Console that appears on your PC desktop e. Connect a straight CAT5 cable between your PC and the BS f.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T If “BSU Console” appears, but wakeup screen is not present – type “version” (return) – you should see the screen above. If “Ethernet Console” does not change to “BSU Console” after 30 seconds – recycle the power using the toggle switch on the power supply. Try several times if needed.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T § To verify the frequency channel, type “frequency” (enter). § At any time, if you wish to return a unit to the factory default settings, you may type “restart” (return) or cycle power (using the toggle switch on the power supply). It is advised to use the restart command.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T Subscriber Unit Configuration The CPE units require the same software and are connected and controlled in an identical fashion as the BS. Configure the BSU unit and your computer first to become familiar with these connections and controls and to be ready to connect to the CPE.
T S U N A M I M U L T I P O I N T Mechanical Considerations – Mounting Units The CPE units are designed to directly mount to 1-1/2 inch to 1-3/4 inch pole diameters (outer diameter), or mount to pole diameter of 2 inches or to a wall or other flat surface using optional mounting brackets. For mounting directly to a 1-1/2 inch or 1-3/4 inch pipe, first attach the mounting bracket to the pole using the U-bolt retainer.
