Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
3. Configure the BSU’s IP settings:
Type setIP <IP address> and press Enter, where <IP address> is the new IP address you want to
assign to the unit. For example, type setIP 192.168.20.20 to assign this IP address to the BSU.
A. Close the Base Station Configuration Software and change the IP address of the computer’s
Ethernet card so that it is in the same IP network as the BSU’s new IP address; restart the
computer if necessary.
B. Open the Base Station Configuration Software and use the dspconf command to verify that the
BSU and computer can communicate.
C. Enter setSubnet <subnet mask> where <subnet mask> designates a subnet mask. Proxim
does not recommend using a subnet mask wider than 255.255.248.0.
D. If desired enter gateway <gateway address> where <gateway address> designates the IP
address of the network’s gateway.
4. To set the BSU’s Terminal ID, enter setID <Terminal ID> where <Terminal ID> is a number
between 1 and 2048). For example, setID 1 sets the unit’s Terminal ID to 1.
Note: Each BSU and Subscriber Unit (SU) in a cell must have a unique Terminal ID.
5. Use the setFrameSync command to set the proper GPS operating mode.
º When performing indoor tests, Frame Sync must be set to Independent mode (setFrameSync
1). A BSU’s transmitter does not turn on if Frame Sync is set to Multi Sector while indoors.
Frame Sync should be set to one of the Multi Sector modes only when multiple BSUs are installed
in the field; these modes enable a BSU’s GPS receiver so it can synchronize its frame timing with
other BSUs. See “Configuring the System for Multi-Sector Mode” on page 29 for details about
configuring and testing multi-sector operation.
6. If Range Security is enabled (set to 1), enter rangeSecurity 0 (zero) to disable this feature. You can
enable it later once the SUs have been installed in the field.
7. Set the desired data rate using the modulation command (modulation <0 (60Mbps) | 1 (40 Mbps) |
2 (30 Mbps) | 3 (20 Mbps)>). This step is not applicable for BSUs that support 20 Mbps operation
only.
º Set the desired frequency plan using the freqPlan command. (freqPlan < 4 (four channel | 5
(channel) | 6 (channel)>). Tsunami Multipoint offers several frequency plans and operating
frequencies to provide a means for overcoming interference. If one part of the 5.8 GHz spectrum
is occupied when you deploy the product, you can select a different frequency plan to bypass the
interfering frequency.
