Assemble the Mounting Hardware

Note: Tsunami QB-8100-LNK and QB-8150-LNK contains two sets of all the above accessories.
Fix the Mounting Plate (A) by using the provided screws and washers (Torque 9 N.m/75 inlbs) onto the bottom of the device such that the antennas will be vertically and horizontally polarized when mounted. Fix the Extension Arm (B) to the fixed mounting plate with the provided screw, nut and washers. The Extension Arm gives the device more possible tilt, letting you adjust for azimuth or elevation over a larger angle. Fix the Mounting Bracket (C) to fixed Extension Arm with the provided screw, nut and washers. Tighten the assembled parts (Torque 15 N.m/130 in-lbs). The last picture in Figure 3 shows the fully assembled mounting hardware attached to the device.

Weatherproofing RJ45 Connectors

The following steps explain how to weatherproof the RJ45 connectors: 1. Slide the Sealing Nut (E) over the bare end of the Cat5e/Cat6 cable. 2. Slide the tube-shaped Compression Washer (C) into the Compression Ring (D) and onto the Cat5e/Cat6 cable and tighten it into the Sealing Nut (E). 3. Insert the Flat Washer (A) into the Connector Body (B) to make it waterproof and screw the Connector Body into the Ethernet connector hole. 4. Terminate the RJ45 connectors on both ends of the Cat5e/Cat6 cable and test for proper wiring (cable should be a straight-through cable). 5. Slide the Cat5e/Cat6 cable through the screwed Ethernet Connector Body into the Ethernet jack inside the enclosure. The cable connector should latch into the jack. 6. Thread the assembled Sealing Nut onto the screwed Connector Body and hand tighten it to make a waterproof compression around the cable. 7. Open the notch on both sides of the Toroid and fix it on Ethernet Cat5e/Cat6 cable as shown in the figure. Then, lock the notch of the toroid by pressing it.

Mount the Device

1. To pole-mount the device, insert the provided screws through bracket (F). Fasten around the pole to bracket (C) and secure (Torque 11 N.m/100 in-lbs).

Note: To avoid electro magnetic emissions, please ensure to fix Toroid to the Ethernet cable.

Plug in the Cables

Note: Unscrew the sealing cap for installation of the cable.
1. Plug one end of the straight-through Cat5e/Cat6 cable into the Ethernet (RJ45) jack of the Ethernet 1 interface inside the enclosure. Plugging in the second Cat5e/Cat6 cable to Ethernet 2 interface is optional. Ensure that the cable connector is latched securely. You can hear a click sound when the cable connector latches into the jack, then tighten the sealing nut by hand. Connect the other end of the straight-through CAT5e/Cat6 cable (Ethernet 1) into the PWR LAN-OUT port on the PoE Injector.

Additional Weatherproofing Steps

To add an additional layer of protection to the connectors against the environment, do the following: 1. Wrap a vinyl tape in a half-lapped fashion, from the weatherproofed connector end and continue wrapping till 3 inches onto the cable. 2. Wrap a second layer of the vinyl tape over the first layer but in other direction.

Notes:
48 VDC (15 W average) is tolerable on the second Ethernet port (Ethernet 2). Make sure the connected device can support this voltage. If power from the second Ethernet Port (Ethernet 2) is desired, then Proxim recommends you to use 60W PoE (not supplied). If the device is connected to the second Ethernet port (Ethernet 2) for data, then use a PoE Splitter (not supplied).

5. Connect an RJ45 terminated cable between the two surge protectors on their remaining ports.

Ground the Device

To ensure proper grounding, use either of the ground points which are situated at the bottom corners of the device and the grounding screw provided to attach a ground wire of at least 10 AWG stranded to the device. It is important that the following ground guidelines are followed to protect the device against lighting or ESD events: 1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the device as shown in the Figure 9 and the other end to the closest earthing system point at the installation. 2. Cut any extra ground wire length when finished connecting it to the single point earth ground. 3. Avoid sharp bends and never loop or coil up the ground wire, always connect it straight to ground. 4. A good earth ground impedance is less than 1.0 ohm. 5. Measure ground impedance at the point where the protector ground wire is connected and not at the ground rod. 6. Connect the protector ground wire and equipment ground (both power ground and telecomm ground) to a single common ground. 7. Make sure all connections are fastened securely and are tight. 8. Never install during a storm and always follow your local safety codes.

3. To connect the device through a hub or a switch to a Personal Computer, connect an Ethernet cable between the network interface card in the Personal Computer and the hub, and between the hub and the RJ45 LAN-IN port on the PoE Injector. 4. To connect the device directly to a Personal Computer, connect an Ethernet cable between the network interface card in the Personal Computer and the RJ45 LANIN port on the PoE Injector.

Align the Antenna

The devices have an audible antenna alignment tool that can be activated by plugging in the serial dongle (supplied) or by using the CLI command for antenna alignment (refer to Antenna Alignment Commands in Tsunami MP-8000 Series Hardware Installation Guide available at http://support.proxim.com).

Connect the Antenna

Connect the antenna with N-male cables to the antenna connectors on the device.

Initialize the Device

You can configure the IP address of the device by using HTTP, CLI or SNMP and also using Proxims ScanTool. The following are the default configuration values to access the device: IP address: 169.254.128.132 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 169.254.128.132 Username: admin Password: public SNMP Read Write Community String: public

Note: Record which port each antenna polarization is associated with to ensure that each side matches and aid in configuration.
Devices with integrated antennas must always be mounted in square position with all access ports pointed straight down to achieve horizontal and vertical polarization.

Figure 9: Grounding the Device

Install Surge Protector

Proxim recommends two approved lightning surge protectors to be installed, one near to the device and the other at the building ingress point.

Power on the Device

Plug in the power cord into a power outlet after having connected the PoE Injector and the device using straight-through Cat5e/Cat6 cable. There is no ON/OFF switch on the device. To disconnect power, unplug the RJ45 connector from the PWR LAN-OUT port on the PoE injector.

Note: To buy an additional Surge Protector (with Part Number: 235-00001), place an order separately with your distributor.
Perform the following steps to ensure proper surge protection: 1. Mount the provided surge protector near the outdoor device and use 10 AWG or larger wire to connect the protectors ground lug to the appropriate mounting ground point. The outdoor device and co-located surge protector should have a common grounding point using the shortest possible grounding cable. 2. Mount a second surge protector near the building ingress and use 10 AWG or larger wire to connect the surge protectors ground lug to earth ground as shown in figure 8.
