ABOUT THE TSUNAMI MP.11A
The Tsunami MP.11a lets you set up a wireless system based upon two basic topologies:
▪ Point-to-point link to connect one location to another
▪ Point-to-multipoint link to connect one location to two or more other locations.
A link between two locations always consists of a Base Station Unit and a Subscriber Unit. A Base Station
Unit can, depending upon its configuration, connect to one or more Subscriber Units; a Subscriber Unit,
however, can connect to only one Base Station Unit at any given time.
Point-to-Point Link
With a Base Station Unit and a Subscriber Unit, it is easy to set up a wireless point-to-point link as depicted
in the following figure.
Figure 1. Point-to-Point Link
The point-to-point link function 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 hard-to-wire environments
