Figure 3. Cable Setup for Indoor Installation
On each end of the wireless link you will require the following items:
▪ A Tsunami MP.11a Base Station or Subscriber Unit
▪ A low-loss antenna cable to connect the indoor installation to the surge arrestor (optional)
▪ Female-female converter connector (optional)
▪ A surge arrestor to protect your sensitive Tsunami MP.11a equipment from static discharge and
transients from the outdoor antenna system
▪ A low-loss antenna cable to connect the surge arrestor to the outdoor antenna
▪ Outdoor antenna
▪ A grounding system as described in “Grounding System” on page 16.
Placement of the Tsunami MP.11a Hardware
The electronics (power supply and unit) are designed for indoor mounting and operation. The ideal location
must satisfy the following requirements:
▪ The location provides a connection to a grounding type AC wall outlet (100-240 VAC), using the standard
power cord supplied with the unit. (Alternative power can be provided through Power over Ethernet.)
▪ The ground of the AC wall outlet must be connected to the same grounding system as the surge arrestor
and antenna mast (see “Grounding System” on page 16).
▪ The location must allow for easy disconnection of the Tsunami MP.11a hardware from the AC wall outlet.
▪ The location provides a connection to the network backbone (an Ethernet LAN cable that is connected to
a hub, bridge, or directly into a patch panel)
