Introduction
1.2 Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO)Proxim’s Point-to-point and Point-to-multipoint devices support Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna technologythat uses multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance. The underlyingtechnology of Proxim’s product radio(s) are based on a combination of MIMO and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency DivisionMultiplexing). MIMO-OFDM combination radios solve interference, fading and multipath problems On the receiver side,having multiple receivers increases the amount of received power and also reduces multipath problems by combining thereceived signals for each frequency component separately. Hence, MIMO significantly improves the overall gain.
MIMO also uses Spatial multiplexing transmission technique to transmit independent and separately encoded data signalsfrom each of the multiple transmit antennas while reusing or multiplexing in the space dimension. These independent datasignals are called Spatial streams. The transmitting antenna uses multiple radio Tx chains and signal paths to simultaneouslytransmit different data streams, whereas the receiver combines the Rx signals resulting in higher throughput.
By increasing the number of receiving and transmitting antennas, the throughput of the channel increases linearly resulting inhigh spectral efficiency.

Hardware Overview and Installation Procedure
2.1 Tsunami® MP-8100-BSU/MP-8100-SUA/QB-8100-EPAThis section provides the hardware overview and installation procedure for the following product(s):
• Tsunami® MP-8100-BSU
• Tsunami® MP-8100-SUA
• Tsunami® QB-8100-EPA
2.1.1 Hardware Overview
Figure 2-1 Tsunami® MP-8100-BSU/MP-8100-SUA/QB-8100-EPA
A detailed description about the various components of the device are explained in the following sections.
2.1.1.1 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The device comes with two auto-sensing 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet ports with configurable Tx Modes and Speeds.
a) Ethernet Port 1
The Gigabit Ethernet port 1 (PoE IN and Data) of the device allows the user to connect to the LAN by using Cat5e/Cat6Ethernet cable, and also power ON the device by using the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector supplied with the productpackage.
• The device receives 48 VDC via a a standard Cat5e/Cat6 cable connected between the PoE and the device.
• Maximum power supplied to the device is 32 Watts and the device typically draws 6 Watts.
Above 0° Celsius internal temperature, the device need not regulate its temperature, so the power drawn is generally lower inthis temperature range. When the internal temperature gets close to the limits, the device starts to heat itself and the powerdraw increases. Powering the device when it is cold, triggers a special self-heat mode where the device is inoperable until theinternal temperature is above -20° Celsius. This is signaled by a solid yellow LED on the Ethernet connector. Once the internaltemperature is above -20° Celsius, the device boots normally.
Recommended Ethernet Cable SpecificationsType Cat5e/Cat6, STP, 24 AWG, UL rated, UV-shielded and outdoor-ratedImpedance 100 ohms

Hardware Overview and Installation Procedure
Step 14: Align the Antennas
Antenna alignment is the process of physically aligning the antenna of the radio receiver and transmitter to have the bestpossible link established between them. The antenna alignment process is usually performed during installation and aftermajor repairs. If you are installing external antennas, refer to the documentation that accompanies the antenna forinstallation instructions.
The device has an audible antenna alignment tool that can be activated by plugging in the supplied RJ11 serial dongle. It isaudible upto 30 minutes. The CLI command enables both audible and numerical feedback as the CLI shows the runningSignal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) values twice a second.
The output from the beeper for antenna alignment consists of short beeps with a variable interval. The interval changes withthe SNR level to assist in correctly aligning the antenna. An increase in signal level is indicated by a shorter interval betweenbeeps and a reduction in signal level results in beeps longer apart.
The alignment process averages the SNR, which is represented by an average length beep. When a higher SNR is received, thebeep period becomes shorter, dependent upon the difference to the average. A lower SNR results in a longer period betweenbeeps.
Figure 2-12 Beep Interval
When the antenna is aimed, the beep intuitively represents whether the SNR is rising or falling. The higher the SNR rises, theshorter the period of the beep is heard and the higher the frequency of the beep.
When you change the position of the antenna, SNR averaging settles at the new value and the beeping returns to theaverage length so the antenna can again be aimed for rising SNR.
Aiming is complete if moving in any direction results in a falling SNR value (which can be heard as longer periods betweenbeeps).
:
• The range of the average SNR has been limited to values from 5 to 43; therefore, anything over 43 always results in ashort period between beeps and values below 5 always have a long period.
• The Antenna Alignment Display (AAD) CLI output is disabled automatically 30 minutes after it is enabled to removethe load of extra messages on the wireless interface. The default telnet time-out is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

The Gigabit Ethernet port 1 (PoE IN and Data) of the device allows the user to connect to the LAN by using Cat5e/Cat6Ethernet cable, and also power ON the device by using the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector supplied with the productpackage.
• The device receives 48 VDC via a a standard Cat5e/Cat6 cable connected between the PoE and the device.
• Maximum power supplied to the device is 32 Watts and the device typically draws 10 Watts.
Above 0° Celsius internal temperature, the device need not regulate its temperature, so the power drawn is generally lower inthis temperature range. When the internal temperature gets close to the limits, the device starts to heat itself and the powerdraw increases. Powering the device when it is cold, triggers a special self-heat mode where the device is inoperable until theinternal temperature is above -20° Celsius. This is signaled by a solid yellow LED on the Ethernet connector. Once the internaltemperature is above -20° Celsius, the device boots normally.

2.5.1.1 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The device comes with two auto-sensing 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet ports with configurable Tx Modes and Speeds.
a) Ethernet Port 1
The Gigabit Ethernet port 1 (PoE IN and Data) of the device allows the user to connect to the LAN by using Cat5e/Cat6Ethernet cable, and also power ON the device by using the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector supplied with the productpackage.
• The device receives 48 VDC via a a standard Cat5e/Cat6 cable connected between the PoE and the device.
• Maximum power supplied to the device is 32 Watts and the device typically draws 6 Watts.
Above 0° Celsius internal temperature, the device need not regulate its temperature, so the power drawn is generally lower inthis temperature range. When the internal temperature gets close to the limits, the device starts to heat itself and the powerdraw increases. Powering the device when it is cold, triggers a special self-heat mode where the device is inoperable until theinternal temperature is above -20° Celsius. This is signaled by a solid yellow LED on the Ethernet connector. Once the internaltemperature is above -20° Celsius, the device boots normally.

Appendix - Lightning ProtectionLightning protection is used to maximize the reliability of the communications equipment by safely re-directing current froma lightning strike or a power surge traveling along the Cat 5/Cat5e/Cat 6 Ethernet cabling to the ground using the shortestpath possible. Designing a proper grounding system prior to installing any communications equipment is critical to minimizethe possibility of equipment damage, void warranties, and cause serious injury.
The surge arrestor (sometimes referred to as a lightning protector) can protect your sensitive electronic equipment fromhigh-voltage surges caused by discharges and transients at the PoE.
