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

streamlined installation procedures.

IDENTIFYING NETWORK TOPOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT

The MP.11 can be used in various network topologies and combinations. You find more details in

“Wireless Network Topologies” in Chapter 1 on page 5. Make sure all equipment is available before

installing the MP.11. The required equipment depends upon the wireless network topology that you

want to build.

The MP.11 is designed for indoor placement. You can connect the MP.11 to an outdoor antenna

installation with an optional antenna kit. See the Tsunami MP.11 Antenna Installation Guide for

details.

WARNING! If you want to connect the MP.11 to an outdoor antenna system, consult the

appropriate manufacturers’ documentation for additional regulatory

information, safety instructions, and installation requirements.

FINDING A SUITABLE LOCATION

To make optimal use of the MP.11, you must find a suitable location for the hardware. The radio

range of the MP.11 largely depends upon the position of the antenna. Proxim recommends you do a

site survey, observing the following requirements, before mounting the MP.11 hardware.

▪ If you do not use Active Ethernet, the unit must be connected to a grounded AC power outlet

(100-240 VAC) with the supplied power adapter.

▪ The location must allow easy disconnection of the unit from the power outlet if necessary.
