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.
