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

Point-to-Multipoint Network

If you want to connect more than two buildings, you can set up a single Point-to-Multipoint network with a single Base interface and multiple Satellite interfaces, as depicted in the following figure.

In this figure, the system is designed as follows:

The central building B is equipped with a Base interface, connected to either an omni-directional, or a wide angle antenna.

The two other buildings A and C are both equipped with a Satellite interface connected to a directional antenna.

ACTIVE ETHERNET

The MP.11/a is equipped with an 802.3af-compliant Active Ethernet module. Active Ethernet delivers both data and power to the radio over a single Ethernet cable. If you choose to use Active Ethernet, there is no difference in operation; the only difference is the power source.

The Active Ethernet integrated module receives –48 VDC over a standard Cat 5 Ethernet cable.

To use Active Ethernet, you must have an Active Ethernet hub (also known as a power injector) connected to the network. The Active Ethernet hub is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.

The cable length between the Active Ethernet hub and the radio should not exceed 100 meters (approximately 325 feet).

If connected to an Active Ethernet hub and an AC power supply simultaneously, the radio draws power from Active Ethernet.

Maximum power supplied to an MP.11 is 11 Watts; maximum power supplied to an MP.11a is 36 Watts. The units typically draw less than 7.5 Watts.
