2. Product Description
2.1 General Description
The Tsunami unlicensed radios provide a new level of control and convenience in a digital
communications network.
These Tsunami radios provide 100BaseT intelligent bridging between two locations without the delay
and expense of installing cable or traditional microwave.
Because each owner controls the operation of the link, there is no reliance on any outside services.
Tsunami radio operators are able to operate instant links whenever needed, and to be in control of
their own network.
The Tsunami offers two primary benefits:
❖ CONVENIENCE Easy to install and operate with no user license
requirements or frequency coordination in the USA.
(Other countries may require a user license and/or
frequency coordination).
❖ CAPABILITY
Full transparent Fast Ethernet connections with no
throughput reduction over any line-of-sight distance ( within
legal limits of government regulation)

The Tsunami radio front panel, as shown in Figure 2-1, has LED indicators, test points , controls and
connections that are used for installation, maintenance, operation and troubleshooting. Prior to
installation, it is best to be familiar with the fr ont panel of your partic ular model. Sections 2.3.2 through

2.3.2 Test Points / Power Indicator
ON
This is an LED indication. When lit GREEN, Tsunami is powered.
The Tsunami radio products do not have an on/off switch.
GND
This is a test point referenc ed to c hass is gr ound. This is used in conjunction with the
next two test points to measure voltages related to radio performance.
RSL
This is a test point which relates to the Received Signal Level (RSL) . A voltage can
be measured with a voltmeter (using the GND test point for reference) which
corresponds to the actual power level of the incoming received signal. While the
DISPLAY FAR END button is pressed, this RSL voltage corresponds to the RSL of
the far-end radio. These m easurements are used during installation, maintenance
and troubleshooting.
LOCAL
TX PWR
This is a test point which corresponds to the output transm it power of the radio. A
voltage can be measured with a voltmeter ( using the GND test point for referenc e)
which corresponds to the actual power level of the outgoing signal. This
measurement is used during installation, maintenance and troubleshooting
. This voltage only applies to the near-end and does not allow measurement
of the far-end output transmit power, even when the DISPLAY FAR END
button is pressed.
There is a receptacle on the front panel to the right of the LOCAL TX PWR test point
which is an installation adjustment allowing the output transmit power to be
increased or decreased within the radio's spec ified limits. Using a small screwdriver,
this adjustment is used to s et the output power of the trans mitter, in acc ordance to
the path planning.
The Tsunami system requires professional installation. Transmitted output
power limits may apply when using this radio. Consult FCC, IC, Glenayre
Western Multiplex or other regulatory authorities for limits which may apply .
See Section 3.13.1 for details on setting output power.

When lit GREEN, indicates transmitted data is active at the data port.
When lit GREEN, indicates received data is active at the data port.
This is an alarm. When lit RED, indicates that Ethernet collisions are occurring.
These collisions ma y be normal for a heavily used W AN, but s hould be rem edied as
soon as possible as the maximum throughput of the radio link is not being realized.
It is normal for the COLL indicator to blink occasionally.
This is the network m anagement system alarm . W hen lit RED, this alarm condition
indicates that there is a problem with the connection to the NMS of the Tsunami
radio.
When lit RED, this is an alarm condition indicating that the intended rec eived signal
is not being received. This alarm may indicate problems related to the path,
connections, or the near-end or far-end radio hardware.
When lit RED, this is an alarm condition indicating a problem with the wayside T1
connection.
When lit RED, this is an alarm c ondition indicating a major failure with the near-end
radio hardware. It can also indicate improper connections to the CEPT-1 input port.
When lit RED, this is an alarm condition indicating that there are alarm or status
conditions present on the far-end radio. Pr ess and hold the "Dis play Far End" button
on the near-end radios to indicate the alarm conditions for the f ar -end r adio terminal.
Monitoring the far-end alarms can be helpful for radio installation and routine
maintenance.

This push-button provides the capability to determ ine alarms and status of the farend radio. When pressed and held, the alarm and status LEDs and the RSL test
point correspond to the far-end radio’s status and RSL value. This can be us ed for
installation, maintenance and troubleshooting. When the LED on this switch is
flashing, no far-end information is available. This typically indicates that there is no
link between near-end and far-end radios.

2.3.5 Connections
ELECTRONIC ORDERWIRE (EOW)
This connection is used to ac cess the orderwire f unction. T his is a fac ility for "telephone" s tyle service
from one radio to another. A standard electronic telephone [one with a handset and DTMF (pushbutton tone) dialing] plugs into this connector. The us er can dial the orderwire address of the far-end
radio (or any radio in the Tsunami network) to establish telephone com m unication between sites. T his
communication does not interrupt or interfere with the other radio communications. The radio link
must be operational to use this facility. The orderwire feature can be very useful for installation,
maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Touch-tone Telephone* (for communication with far-end)
*Telephone connection specifications:
REN (Ringer Equivalency Number) 1.0 B
DTMF tones within ±1.5% of nominal freq.
Ringing Voltage 48 VDC, typical
(Ringing voltage is adequate for modern solid state ringers,
NOT for the older mechanical type ringers)
RF CONNECTION
The RF port of the Tsunami radio is an N- type female connector that is an integral part of the filter
assembly. The filter assembly occupies nearly the entire top half of the front panel. The N-Type
connector is used to connect the antenna, typically using coaxial transmission line. In som e cases,
waveguide may be used as the primary transmission line, in which case a waveguide-to-N adapter is
required.
For the Tsunami, 1/2" or 5/8” coaxial cable ( LDF4- 50 or LDF 4.5- 50)
is recommended. Coaxial cable that is 7/8” or larger can exhibit
moding at 5.8 GHz and is not recommended for 5.8 GHz radios.
For waveguide transmission line at 5.8 GHz, EW -52 waveguide is
recommended. EW-63 will also work, but may exhibit more loss.
DATA CONNECTION
The connection for the Fast Ethernet interface that carries the signals in and out of the radio is a RJ 45
100BaseT wire connection or ST 100BaseT fiber connection.
