Some of the key features of the MP.11/MP.11a are:

▪ The use of a highly optimized protocol for outdoor situations

▪ Routing and bridging capability

▪ Asymmetric bandwidth management

▪ Management through a Web Interface, a Command Line Interface (CLI), or Simple Network Management

Protocol (SNMP)

This document shows the basics of setting up the Tsunami MP.11/MP.11a. For detailed information, see the

Tsunami MP.11 and MP.11a Installation and Management Guide.

Installation

This chapter describes the steps required to install and mount the MP.11/MP.11a, including installing, mounting,

and aligning the radio.

Note: The installation does not cover the mounting and connection of antennas. See the applicable Antenna

If you are already familiar with this type of product, you can use the Quick Install Guide for streamlined installation

procedures.

IMPORTANT!

Before installing this product, see Appendix C of the Installation and Management manual for important

regulatory compliance, safety, and telecom certification information.

INSTALLING THE UNIT

The MP.11/MP.11a supports two power methods⎯an AC power outlet and Active Ethernet. The power supply

accepts an input AC voltage in the range of 100-240 VAC.

The following installation procedure provides instructions for attaching both the power and Ethernet connectors.

In situations without an external antenna (for example, during a desk tryout), the antenna cable is not required.

WARNING!

For your own safety, use only the power cord supplied with the unit. The metal case of the unit must be

grounded through the ground connection that is provided on the metal case. The antenna grounding,

the surge arrestor, and the MP.11/MP.11a unit housing must be bonded together and grounded in one

location to avoid ground current loops.
