Introduction
This Recommended Antennas guide supplements the Tsunami MP.11 Antenna Installation Guide.
The Antenna Installation Guide explains how to install and set up an outdoor antenna with the Tsunami MP.11 hardware
devices.
This guide does not explain how to erect antenna masts, nor how to install a safety grounding system. These
prerequisites must be in place before installing the directional antenna.
See the following sections:

Who Should Use This Guide
The installation of outdoor wireless links requires technical expertise. At the very least, you should be able to:
• Install and configure the network components, such as the radio hardware.
• Understand, or have a working knowledge of, installation procedures for network operating systems using Microsoft
Windows.
• Mount the outdoor antenna and surge arrestor. Antenna installation must be provided by professional installers.
NOTE: A basic rule for selecting a combination of cables and antennas is that no combination is allowed unless
explicitly approved in the Tsunami MP.11 Antenna Installation Guide for your MP.11 model. Therefore, always
use Tsunami MP.11 Recommended Antennas in combination with “Chapter 4. Determining Range and
Clearance” of the Antenna Installation Guide to select the correct type of antenna equipment and to inform your
antenna installer and LAN administrator about the impact of regulatory constraints on their job or activities.
WARNING: The outdoor antennas to be used with these products are intended for mounting on an antenna
tower, on a roof, or on the side of a building. Installation is not to be attempted by someone not
trained or experienced in this type of work. The antenna must be installed by a suitably trained
professional installation technician or by a qualified antenna installation service. The site
prerequisites must be checked by a person familiar with the national electrical code and with other
regulations governing this type of installation.
