Wireless Network Topologies
The unit can be used in various network topologies and combinations. The required equipment depends upon the wireless network topology you want to build. Make sure all required equipment is available before installing the unit.
You can connect the 5054 to an outdoor antenna with an optional antenna kit. See the Tsunami MP.11 Antenna Installation Guide for details.
WARNING: To connect the unit to an outdoor antenna, consult the appropriate manufacturers’ documentation
for additional regulatory information, safety instructions, and installation requirements.
You can set up the following types of topologies:
• Point-to-Point Link
• Point-to-Multipoint Network
Each unit is set up as either a Base Station Unit (BSU) or a Subscriber Unit (SU). A link between two locations always consists of a BSU and an SU. A BSU can, depending upon its configuration, connect to one or more SUs. An SU, however, can connect to only one BSU at a time.
Point-to-Point Link
With a BSU and an SU, it is easy to set up a wireless point-to-point link as depicted in the following figure.
A point-to-point link lets you set up a connection between two locations as an alternative to:
• Leased lines in building-to-building connections
• Wired Ethernet backbones between wireless access points in difficult-to-wire environments

Point-to-Multipoint Network
If you want to connect more than two buildings, you can set up a single point-to-multipoint network with a single BSU and multiple SUs, as depicted in the following figure.
Up to 250 SUs can be connected to a BSU. If a BSU already has 250 SUs, a new SU cannot be connected to the BSU. In this figure, the system is designed as follows:
• The central building B is equipped with a BSU, connected to either an omni-directional, or a wide angle antenna.
• The two other buildings A and C are both equipped with an SU connected to a directional antenna.
Management and Monitoring Capabilities
There are several management and monitoring interfaces available to the network administrator to configure and manage the unit:
• Web Interface
• Command Line Interface
• SNMP Management
Web Interface
The Web interface (HTTP) provides easy access to configuration settings and network statistics from any computer on the network. You can access the Web interface over your network, over the Internet, or with a crossover Ethernet cable connected directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. See Logging in to the Web Interface.
Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based configuration utility that supports a set of keyboard commands and parameters to configure and manage the unit. You enter command statements, composed of CLI commands and their associated parameters. You can issue commands from the keyboard for real-time control or from scripts that automate configuration. See the Tsunami MP.11/QB.11 Reference Manual for more information about the Command Line Interface.
SNMP Management
In addition to the Web interface and the CLI, you also can manage and configure your unit using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Note that this requires an SNMP manager program (sometimes called MIB browser) or a
Introduction MP.11 5054 (MP.11a) Installation and Management
Management and Monitoring Capabilities
13
Network Manager program using SNMP, such as HP OpenView or Castelrock’s SNMPc. The units support several Management Information Base (MIB) files that describe the parameters that can be viewed and configured using SNMP:
• mib802.mib
•orinoco.mib
• rfc1213.mib
• rfc1493.mib
• rfc1643.mib
Proxim provides these MIB files on the CD included with your unit. You must compile one or more of these MIB files into your SNMP program’s database before you can manage your unit using SNMP. See the documentation that came with your SNMP manager for instructions about how to compile MIBs.
NOTE: When you update the software in the unit, you must also update the MIBs to the same release. Because the
parameters in the MIB may have changed, you will not otherwise have full control over the features in the new release.
The enterprise MIB (orinoco.mib) defines the read and read/write objects you can view or configure using SNMP. These objects correspond to most of the settings and statistics that are available with the other management interfaces. See the enterprise MIB for more information; the MIB can be opened with any text editor, such as Microsoft Word, Notepad, and WordPad. See SNMP Parameters.
IMPORTANT!
Using a serial connection, you can access the CLI of the unit through a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal. (See “HyperTerminal Connection Properties” in the Tsunami MP.11/QB.11 Reference Manual.)
For all other modes of connection, you will need the IP address of the unit in order to use the Web Interface, SNMP, or the CLI via telnet. See Setting the IP Address with ScanTool for more information.
IMPORTANT!
The remainder of the User Guide discusses installing the unit and managing it using the Web and CLI interfaces only. For information on managing the unit via the CLI, see the Tsunami MP.11/QB.11 Reference Manual.

Hardware Overview
The 5054 supports two power methods: an AC power outlet and Power-over-Ethernet. The power supply accepts an input AC voltage in the range of 100-240 VAC.
Power-over-Ethernet
The unit is equipped with a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) module. Using PoE, you can provide electricity and wired connectivity to the unit over a single Category 5 cable. If you use PoE, there is no difference in operation; the only difference is the power source.
• The PoE integrated module provides -48 VDC over a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable.
• Maximum power supplied to the 5054 is 11 Watts. The units typically draw less than 7.5 Watts.
• You must have an PoE hub (also known as a power injector) connected to the network to use Power-over-Ethernet. The PoE hub is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.
• If connected to a PoE hub and an AC power supply simultaneously, the radio draws power from PoE.
• The cable length between the PoE hub and the radio should not exceed 100 meters (approximately 325 feet).

Step 9: Align the Antenna
Antenna alignment is the process of physically aligning the antenna of the radio receiver and transmitter to have the best possible link established between them. The antenna alignment process is usually performed during installation and after major repairs.
Antenna Alignment Display (AAD) provides a measurement of signal quality in an easy-to-interpret manner—a numeric printed signal value at the CLI and serial ports. The SNR is numerically displayed on the CLI or serial port by two decimal characters representing a number from 00 to 99. On the serial port, AAD is enabled by default after booting.
To start the display, you must enable AAD and a wireless link must be established between the BSU and the SU.
Aiming is complete if moving in any direction results in a falling SNR value.
NOTES:
• Antenna alignment for the Base Station is useful only for a point-to-point link.
• The Antenna Alignment Display (AAD) CLI command is disabled automatically 30 minutes after it is enabled to
remove the load of extra messages on the wireless interface. The default telnet timeout is 900 seconds (15 minutes). If AAD must run for the entire 30 minutes, change the default telnet timeout value to a value greater than 30 minutes (greater than 1800 seconds). This restriction is for telnet connections only and not for the serial interface. The serial interface never times out; however, the AAD command does still time out.
Antenna Alignment Commands
• set aad enable local: Enables display of the local SNR. Local SNR is the SNR measured by the receiver at the
near end.
• set aad enable remote: Enables display of the remote SNR. Remote SNR is the SNR as measured by the
receiver at the far end.
• set aad enable average: Enables display of the average SNR. The average SNR is the average of the local and
remote SNR.
• set aad disable: Disables Antenna Alignment Display (Ctrl-C also disables AAD).

Step 10: Attach Kensington Security Lock (Optional)
If desired, you can attach a Kensington lock to secure the cable cover into place. This protects the unit from unauthorized tampering.
The 5054 enclosure includes a Kensington Security Slot for use with a Kensington locking mechanism. When properly installed, a Kensington lock can prevent unauthorized personnel from stealing the 5054. In addition, the Kensington lock secures the cable cover in place, which prevents tampering with the Ethernet and power cables.
The Kensington Security Slot is shown in the following figures. Figure A shows the slot with the unit’s covers attached; figure B shows the slot with the unit’s covers removed).
