Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Installation Guide
8. Set the desired frequency plan using the frequency command. (frequency < a | b | c | d | e| f >;
with e being available for the 5 and 6 channel plans and f being available for the 6 channel plans
only.
9. Set the BSU’s desired transmit power level using the txPowerLevel command.
Note: Typically the power level is set to 17 dBm in the field (maximum setting) and 6 dBm for indoor range
testing (minimum level).
10. Set the desired transmit power auto-enable mode with the txPowerAutoEnable command
(txPowerAutoEnable < 0 (off) | 1 (on)>. When auto-enable is set to on the BSU will automatically
start transmitting after any power cycle.
11. Set the desired routing mode with the routingMode command. (routingMode < 0 (IP routing | 1
(Bridging)>).
Note: After you issue the routingMode command, you may need to clear the PC’s arp table. (restarting the PC
used to configure the BSU will do this).
12. Turn on the BSU using the txPower command (txPower <0 (off) | 1 (on)>).
At this point the BSU is configured and ready to operate. Also, see “Advanced Configuration Options” and
“Command Reference” in the Tsunami Multipoint Version 1.3 Reference Manual for information about the
other commands used to configure the BSU (such as setting proxy, RIP, static IPs, and so on).
Adding Subscribers to the BSU Database
Subscriber units will not be able to enter the network until they are added to the BSU database.
1. Identify the Subscriber Units (SUs) you intend to use with this BSU and write down each device’s
MAC address (which is printed on the product label).
2. Add the first SU to the BSU’s database by entering addSU <MAC address> <Terminal ID>.
º When typing the MAC address, separate each pair of digits with a colon or a blank space.
º The Terminal IDs range from 1 to 1023; assign a unique ID to each BSU and SU in a cell.
For example, if the SU’s MAC address is 00-04-44-12-34-56 and you want to assign Terminal ID
2 to this SU, enter addSU 00:04:44:12:34:56 2.
Note: Add an SU to the BSU’s database before installing or turning on the SU.
