Tsunami MP.11a Antenna Installation Guide

Appendix D. Certified Outdoor Solutions

INTRODUCTION

As radio regulations differ between the various countries world-wide, not all of the outdoor solutions described in this Tsunami Outdoor Antenna Installation Guide may be allowed in the country where you plan to install this equipment.

Local radio regulations or legislation may impose restrictions on the use of specific combinations of:

▪ Low-loss antenna cables and outdoor antennas.

▪ Radio channels selected at the Outdoor Routers that are connected to specific outdoor antennas.

Note: Basic rule for selecting a combination of cables and antennas is that no combination is allowed unless explicitly approved in this Tsunami Outdoor Antenna Installation Guide. Therefore, always

use this Appendix in combination with “Chapter 2. Determining Range and Clearance” on page 16 of

this document to select the right type of antenna equipment and to inform your antenna installer and

LAN administrator about the impact of regulatory constraints on their job or activities.

SELECTING THE CORRECT CABLES

To comply with local radio regulations, the MP.11a Base Station and Subscriber units have a selectable radio power output level. It can be selected through the TPC (Transmit Power Control) parameter in the user

Interface.

The low-loss antenna cables are available in various lengths and diameters:

▪ 6 m (15 ft) with a diameter of 5 mm (0.2 in) (The cable-loss of this cable is equal to the loss of the 15 m

(50 ft) cable.)

▪ 6 m (15 ft) with a diameter of 10 mm (0.4 in)

▪ 15 m (50 ft) with a diameter of 15 mm (0.6 in)

▪ 15 m (50 ft) with a diameter of 10 mm (0.4 in)

▪ 22 m (75 ft) with a diameter of 10 mm (0.4 in)

When you order the Tsunami MP.11a antenna equipment, make sure that you order cables that comply with

the regulations that apply in your country. (See Table 5 on page 24 for the minimum required antenna cable

attenuation and corresponding TPC setting.) In case of doubt, consult the Proxim Corporation Sales office for more information.
