Step 1: Choose a Location
To make optimal use of the 5012/5054-SUI, you must nd a suitable location
for the hardware. The range of the unit largely depends upon the position of
the antenna. Proxim recommends you do a site survey, observing the following
requirements, before mounting the 5012/5054-SUI hardware.
The location must allow easy disconnection of the unit from the power
outlet if necessary.
The unit must not be covered and the air must be able to ow freely around
the unit.
The unit must be kept away from vibration, excessive heat, and humidity,
and kept free from dust buildup.
The installation must conform to local regulations at all times.
Caution!
Local regulations may require the use of a lightning arrestor at
the building ingress point. Be sure to comply with this and all local
regulations. You can purchase the Proxim Lightning Protector
MP.11/QB.11 (70251); see the documentation that comes with
the Lightning Protector for more information and installation
instructions.

Step 2: Unpack Shipping Box
Unpack the unit and accessories from the shipping box.
Note the Ethernet and MAC addresses of the unit, as well as the serial
number. The addresses may be used when conguring the unit. The serial
number is required to obtain support from Proxim. Keep this information in
a safe place.

Step 3: Attach Cables
Cabling without Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
Plug the barrel of the power cable from the power supply into the power
jack (the leftmost port in the back of the unit, see gure).
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable (not supplied) to the unit’s LAN
port (see gure). The other end of the cable should not be connected to
another device until after installation is complete:
Use a straight-through Ethernet cable if you intend to connect the
5012/5054-SUI to a switch, hub, or patch panel
Use a cross-over Ethernet cable or adapter if you intend to connect the
5012/5054-SUI to a single computer.
Continue with “Install the Security Cover”.
Cabling without Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
You must use an Active Ethernet adapter such as the ORiNOCO 1-Port
Active Ethernet DC Injector (ordered separately). Connect one end of an
Ethernet cable (not supplied) to the unit’s LAN port. Connect the other end
to the Data and Power Out port of the DC Injector (see gure).
Connect one end of a second Ethernet cable (not supplied) to the Data In
port of the DC Injector (see gure). The other end of the cable should not
be connected to another device until after installation is complete:
Use a straight-through Ethernet cable if you intend to connect the
5012/5054-SUI to a switch, hub, or patch panel.
Use a cross-over Ethernet cable or adapter if you intend to connect the
5012/5054-SUI to a single computer.

Step 4: Install the Security Cover (Optional)
You can optionally install a security cover to deter unauthorized access to the
5012/5054-SUI. The security cover is a plastic enclosure that prevents access
to the cabling and the Reset and Reload buttons.
Open the split end of the security cover just enough to slide the power
cable (if not using PoE) and the Ethernet cable through the opening until
they t inside the straight clamping portion of the cover. Exercise care
as you slide the cable(s) so you do not accidentally break the cover (see
gure).
Slide the hinging end of the security cover into the hole on the rear panel
of the 5012/5054-SUI to the left of the connectors. Once in place, pivot
the right side of the cover to bring it close to the rear panel of the unit.
Use the two attached screws to fasten the security cover onto the rear
panel of the unit.

Step 5: Mount the Unit
The following are the mounting options:
Wall Mount
Ceiling Mount
Wall Mounting
Follow these steps to mount the unit on a wall:
If the unit’s power supply is plugged in, unplug it.
Identify the location at which you intend to mount the unit.Use a Phillips
screwdriver to remove the metal base from the underside of the unit (if
you have not already done so).
Put the mounting plate up to the wall so that the embossed letter “L” is on
top (see gure). If the plate is correctly oriented, the circular tab that is
vertically aligned with the square hole should be on top.
Fasten the mounting plate with two screws through the circular holes of
the plate. Depending on the type of wall you may need to use the two
fasteners provided.
Holding the 5012/5054-SUI so that the connectors on the rear are facing
left, align the two holes on the bottom of the unit with the two tabs on the
mounting plate. Press the unit down so it is ushed with the plate.
Carefully slide the unit to your right until the tabs snap securely onto the
narrow holes of the unit. If the 5012/5054-SUI is mounted correctly no
portion of the mounting plate should protrude from any of the sides of the
unit.

Ceiling Mounting
Follow these steps to mount the unit to a ceiling:
If the unit’s power supply is plugged in, unplug it.
Identify the location at which you intend to mount the unit.
Snap the rectangular tabs on the back of the mounting plate onto a ceiling
T-bar. You may need to slightly rotate the plate until it securely snaps onto
the T-bar.
Fasten the mounting plate to the ceiling tile with two screws through the
circular holes of the plate.
Position yourself so that the embossed letter “L” on the mounting plate is
facing up (see previous gure). Holding the 5012/5054-SUI so that the
connectors on the rear are facing to your left, align the two holes on the
bottom of the unit with the two tabs on the mounting plate. Press the unit
up so it is ushed with the plate.
Carefully slide the unit to your right until the tabs snap securely onto the
narrow holes of the unit. If the 5012/5054-SUI is mounted correctly no
portion of the mounting plate should protrude from any of the sides of the
unit.

Step 6: Power On the Unit
The unit can be powered by a power supply (just plug the power cord of the
power supply into an AC power outlet), or by Active Ethernet (connect an Active
Ethernet splitter to the Ethernet cabling).
Step 7: View LEDs
When the unit is powered on, it performs startup diagnostics. When startup is
completed, the LEDs show the operational state of the unit (see the following
gure).
The following table shows the status of the LEDs when the unit is operational.

Step 8: Connect the Pigtail Cable
The pigtail cable has a sub-miniature A-type (SMA) connector on one end and
an N-type connector on the other. It is used to connect an external antenna to
the 5012/5054-SUI (see gure).
To install the pigtail cable:
Place the 5012/5054-SUI on a table. The compartment cover closer
to the LED panel contains the antenna connector. Press down near the
center of the compartment cover and slide it forward to open the antenna
compartment. The two small plastic caps on the front will fall out at the
same time (see gure).
Plug the SMA connector end of the pigtail cable onto the antenna jack
inside the compartment (see gure). Exercise caution when pressing down
the connector to avoid breaking it accidentally. Make sure the cable rests
on the notch across the jack so you will be able to close the cover.

Page 18 Copyright © 2007 Proxim Wireless
Replace the cover by aligning the two bottom tabs inside the holes (A) on
each side of the compartment. Ensure that the cable will not get pinched
by the cover. Slide the cover towards the center of the unit until it snaps
on place. Replace one of the small plastic caps onto the remaining open
hole on the front.
Refer to the Tsunami MP.11 Antenna Installation Guide for information on
how to cable the pigtail to the antenna, as well as for the mounting and
connection of antennas.

Step 9: Align the Antenna
Antenna Alignment Display (AAD) provides a measurement of signal quality
in an easy-to-interpret manner—a numeric printed signal value at the CLI and
serial ports. The SNR is numerically displayed on the CLI or serial port by two
decimal characters representing a number from 00 to 99. On the serial port,
AAD is enabled by default after booting.
To start the display, you must enable AAD and a wireless link must be
established between the BSU and the SU.
Aiming is complete if moving in any direction results in a falling SNR value.
Antenna Alignment Commands
The following CLI commands are used to initiate and stop the antenna
alignment process. After the process has been successfully initiated, the CLI
displays the current-local/current-remote/average SNR values (in 500 ms
intervals) to indicate the link quality.
set aad enable local
Enables display of the local SNR (the SNR measured by the receiver at the
near end).
set aad enable remote
Enables display of the remote SNR (the SNR as measured by the receiver
at the far end).
set aad enable average
Enables display of the average SNR (the average of local and remote SNR).
set aad disable
Disables Antenna Alignment Display (Ctrl-C also disables AAD).
