Step 1: Choose a Location
To make optimal use of the 5054, you must find a suitable location for the hardware. The range of the unit largely
depends upon the position of the antenna. Proxim recommends you do a site survey, observing the following
requirements, before mounting the 5054 hardware.
• The location must allow easy disconnection of the unit from the power outlet if necessary.
• The unit must not be covered and the air must be able to flow freely around the unit.
• The unit must be kept away from vibration, excessive heat, and humidity, and kept free from dust buildup.
• The installation must conform to local regulations at all times.
CAUTION: Proxim recommends the use of a lightning arrestor at the building ingress point. You can purchase the
Proxim Lightning Protector; see the documentation that comes with the Lightning Protector for more
information and installation instructions.
Step 2: Unpack Shipping Box
1. Unpack the unit and accessories from the shipping box.
2. Note the Ethernet and MAC addresses of the unit, as well as the serial number; these addresses may be used when
configuring the unit.
NOTE: The serial number is required to obtain support from Proxim. Keep this information in a safe place.
