PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED
The Marquee P-P must be installed as a system by experienced antenna installation
professionals who are familiar with Radio Frequency (RF) issues such as gains and
losses, as well as local building and safety codes. Failure to do so will void the product
warranty and may expose the end user to excessive RF hazard.
Regulations regarding maximum antenna gains, power output and maximum permissible
exposure vary from country to country. It is the responsibility of the end user to operate
within the limits of these regulations and to ensure that the professional installers who
install this device are aware of these regulations. All antennas are intended to be installed
outdoors.

Section 1 Overview
1.1 Description
The Marquee™ Point-to-MultiPoint (P-MP) Series is a powerful answer for customers seeking a reliable
high-speed wireless connectivity solution. It provides the best features and wireless reach in the field by
combining industry leading outdoor Point-to-MultiPoint optimized software with its patented amplifier
technology. Unlike other single band products, Marquee gives you the choice of installing a license-free
5.8 GHz, or a licensed 4.9 GHz network. If your needs change in the future, Marquee can change with
you.
The Marquee P-MP Series features the award-winning industry standard TurboCell
which significantly enhances the performance of outdoor 802.11 systems through the use of adaptive
dynamic polling, bandwidth allocation at the client, and packet aggregation. TurboCell
node” problem inherent in adding nodes to traditional 802.11 outdoor networks.
Marquee P-MP Series is comprised of Marquee Base units and Marquee Client / Cu stomer Premise
Equipment (CPE) units, also called Remote or Satellite units. The Marquee Base and Satellites are
available in two types of enclosures: a flat panel (FP) and a ruggedized (EX) enclosure (see Figures 1.1a
and b). The FP enclosure features an integrated antenna. The EX enclosure comes eithe r with a flat
panel antenna attached to the top of the unit, or it has an N-type connector on the rear to plug an external
antenna.

Section 2
Installation
CAUTION
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled environment when installed as directed. The equipment
should be installed and operated outdoors with fix-mounted antennas
such that there will be a minimum of 2 meters of separation distance
between the antenna and all persons during normal operation. This
includes integrated, attached and external antenna versions of
equipment.
2.1 Introduction
The Marquee P-MP is intended for professional installation only. Please review the entire manual before
powering up or deploying these units.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you configure and test the units prior to deploying them in the
field. Set up a “mini-network” that resembles your actual configuration as close as possi ble.
By using such a mock-up, troubleshooting potential problems will be much easier than if you
already installed the equipment in the field. Read through this entire Section 2 to understand
how to install the hardware. To configure the Marquee P-MP, read Section 3.
Safety Warning
2.2 DC Power Injector
The Cat 5 DC Power Injector is not in a waterproof enclosure and must be protected from the weather. It
can be permanently mounted to a surface using the double stick tape found on the back of it.
2.3 Power Supply
The Marquee P-MP kit comes with a 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC power supply that has a standard barrel
plug [center pin positive (+) tip and outer ring negative (-)].
2.4 LEDs
Three LEDs are present on the back of the Marquee (see Figures 2.1a and b):
• The green Power LED stays on when the unit is plugged and operating correctly
• The green Wireless Link LED flashes when there is traffic over the wireless medium
• The green Ethernet Link LED flashes when there is traffic over the Ethernet port

he integrated antenna can be mounted either vertically or horizontally polarized. The label located on T
the back of the unit contains an arrow indicating the antenna’s polarization (see Figures 2.3a and b).
Please note that both ends of the link must use the same polarization. Be aware that most omni
antennas are vertically polarized and if the Marquee P-MP FP is aimed at one, it must be installed
vertically polarized, i.e., with the polarization arrow up and down.

1. Fit the pole mounting bracket (A) to the two studs protruding from the back of the Marquee P-MP FP
unit according to the desired polarization, as shown in Figures 2.3a and b. Position the bracket so that
the side that has the circular tab is pointing towards the center of the unit. Secure to the unit by
threading two nuts and tighten them firmly with an appropriate wrench.
2. Attach the pivot adaptor bracket (B) to the pole mounting bracket (A) by using bolt and nut, as shown
in Fig 2.4. Tighten hardware (one place). IMPORTANT: Ensure that convex edge of the pivot adaptor
bracket (B) is facing concave edge of the pole mounting bracket (A).

3. Turn the pivot adaptor bracket (B) so that the rectangular part is parallel with the surface of the
Marquee P-MP FP. Fasten the Marquee P-MP unit to the pole using pole clamp (C), U-bolt (D), and
two nuts, as shown in Fig 2.5. Tighten hardware (two places). The pole clamp (C) and U-bolt (D) will
accept pole diameters between 0.75” to 1.5” OD.
