Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) The Tsunami MP.11 5054-R supports Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) domains per EN 301-893 regulations. The ETSI requires that 802.11a devices use DFS to prevent interference with radar systems and other devices that already occupy the 5 GHz band.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Radar detection is performed only by the BSU and not by the SU. When an SU is set to a country in which DFS is used, it scans all available channels upon startup looking for a BSU that best matches its connection criteria (such as Base Station System Name, Network Name, and Shared Secret). The SU connects to the BSU automatically on whatever frequency the BSU has selected.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management • Roaming will automatically select a channel on the SU corresponding to the BSU channel. Roaming is the procedure in which an SU terminates the session with the current BSU and starts the registration procedure with another BSU when it finds the quality of the other BSU to be better. VIRTUAL LOCAL AREA NETWORKS (VLANs) Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are logical groupings of network hosts.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Concepts and Definitions The software supports QoS provisioning from the BSU only. You may define different classes of service on a BSU that can then be assigned to the SUs that are associated, or that may get associated, with that BSU.

Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Note that traffic priority refers to the prioritization of this specific Service Flow. The software tries to deliver the packets within the specified latency and jitter requirements, relative to the moment of receiving the packets in the unit. For delay-sensitive traffic the jitter must be equal to or less than the latency.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management QoS Class A QoS class is defined by a set of parameters that includes the PIRs and SFCs that were previously configured. The software allows creating up to eight different QoS classes, including four predefined QoS classes. Up to four SF classes can be associated to each QoS class, and up to eight PIRs can be associated to each SF class.

Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Field Descriptions You can enter the following details: System Name This is the system name for easy identification of the BSU or SU. The System Name field is limited to a length of 32 bytes. Use the system name of a BSU to configure the Base Station System Name parameter on an SU if you want the SU to register only with this BSU.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Bridge and Routing Modes Bridge Mode A bridge is a product that connects a local area network (LAN) to another local area network that uses the same protocol (for example, Ethernet). You can envision a bridge as being a device that decides whether a message from you to someone else is going to the local area network in your building or to someone on the local area network in the building across the street.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Key Reasons to Use Routing Mode One key reason why customers would use Routing mode is to implement virtual private networks (VPNs) or to let nodes behind two different SUs communicate with each other. Many customers do this same thing in Bridging mode by using secondary interfaces on the router at the BSU or virtual interfaces at the BSU in VLAN mode to avoid some of the drawbacks of IP Routing mode.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Notes: • One of the most important details to pay attention to in Routing mode are the unit’s and the PC’s default gateways. It is a common mistake to set up the PC’s gateway to point to the SU when the SU is in Bridge mode and the BSU is in Routing mode. Always check to make sure the PCs on your network are configured to send their IP traffic to the correct default gateway.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management 2) Configure Network Parameters Change IP Parameters The IP Configuration window lets you change the IP parameters.

Network Name A Network Name is a name given to a network so that multiple networks can reuse the same frequency without problems. An SU can only register to its base if it has the same Network Name. The Network Name is one of the parameters that allow a Subscriber Unit to register on a Base Station.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management SNR [dB] = signal level [dBm] – noise level [dBm] This information lets the sender adjust the transmission data rate to the optimal level to provide the best possible throughput. When you enable or disable WORP DDRS on the BSU, the BSU sends an announcement to the SUs and the SUs enable or disable WORP DDRS automatically.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Enable Turbo Mode Check this box to enable Turbo Mode. Turbo Mode is supported only in the United States, and only for the 5054-R. Turbo Mode uses three adjacent channels for wireless data transfer. Frequency Channel The frequency channel indicates the band center frequency the unit uses for communicating with peers. This frequency channel can be set in several ranges, depending upon regulatory domain. Refer to “Appendix A.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management You can configure the Satellite Density to be Large, Medium, Small, Mini, or Micro. The default value for this setting is Large. The smaller settings are appropriate for high noise environments; a setting of Large would be for a low noise environment. A long distance link may have difficulty maintaining a connection with a small density setting because the wanted signal can disappear under the threshold.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management active SFC is limited to send a single data message. Total throughput available to remaining best effort traffic is around 76% of the maximum available throughput.

Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management Note the following: • There is no option to turn off receiving RIP advertisements. Once the unit is in Routing mode, it receives RIP updates when there is another RIP-enabled device advertising on your network. Although it receives and processes these updates, it does not further propagate these updates unless configured to advertise RIP. • The ability to enable or disable default route propagation is not user configurable.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management RIP Example In the following example, assume that both the BSU and the SUs all are configured in Routing mode with RIP enabled to send and receive on both the Ethernet and Wireless interfaces. The network converges through updates until each unit has the following routing table: BSU 0.0.0.0 172.16.0.0 10.0.0.0 100.0.0.0 200.0.0.0 172.16.0.1 172.16.0.20 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3 metric metric metric metric metric 1 1 1 2 2 10.0.0.
Tsunami MP.11 2454-R, 5054-R, and 5054-R-LR Installation and Management RIP Notes • Ensure that routers on the same physical network are configured to use the same version of RIP. • Routing updates occur every 30 seconds. It may take up to 3 minutes for a route that has gone down to timeout in a routing table. • RIP is limited to networks with 15 or fewer hops. 6) Configure Management Parameters When you click the Management button, the Passwords tab is displayed automatically.
