WARNING!
The metal case of the unit must be grounded through the ground connec-
tion that is provided on the metal case. The antenna grounding, the surge
arrestor, and the 5054 unit housing must be bonded together and ground-
ed in one location to avoid ground current loops.

Step 1: Choose a Location
To make optimal use of the 5054, 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 5054 hardware.
The location must allow easy disconnection of power to the radio if
necessary.
Air must be able to ow freely around the hardware.
The radio unit must be kept away from vibration and excessive heat.
The installation must conform to local regulations at all times.
Caution!
Proxim recommends the use of a lightning arrestor at the building
ingress point. You can purchase the Proxim Lightning Protector;
see the documentation that comes with the Lightning Protector for
more information and installation instructions.

Step 2: Unpack the 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 Base (for Desktop or Ceiling Mounting
only)
If the unit will be mounted on a desktop or to a ceiling, attach the metal base
as follows. If the unit will be mounted to a wall, proceed to Step 4: Remove
Covers.
Insert the posts in the metal base into the holes on the bottom of the 5054
unit.
Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, tighten the screws on the bottom of the
metal base to securely attach the base to the unit.

Step 4: Remove Covers
In order to cable the unit for operation, you must rst remove the front, back,
and cable covers.
Unlock the unit’s cable cover by pressing down on the cable cover lock
located on the side of the unit.
Pull the thin arm of the cable cover away from the unit and upward to
remove the cable cover.
Remove the front cover from the unit (the side with the LED indicators,
shown in gure A); then remove the back cover (gure B). The unit with all
covers removed is shown in gure C.

Step 5: Connect the Cables
Identify the location at which you intend to mount the unit.
Connect the grounding wire to the 5054 using the Faston plug on the metal
case, next to the power plug.
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.
If you intend to connect the 5054 to a hub, switch, patch panel, or PoE
power injector, use a straight-through Ethernet cable.
If you intend to connect the 5054 to a single computer, use a cross-
over Ethernet cable.
If you are not using Active Ethernet, or you want to connect the 5054 to
Active Ethernet and AC power simultaneously, attach the AC power cable to
the unit’s power port.

Choose from the following mounting options:
Desktop Mount
Wall Mount
Ceiling Mount
Desktop Mount
Fit the radio inside the back cover, with the serial connection and LED
indicators facing out.
Replace the front cover, threading the cables through the opening at the
lower right side of the cover.
Replace the cable cover (gure A), ensuring that the release latch clicks
upwards to the closed position (gure B).
If you have not done so before, attach the metal base as described in Step
3: Attach Base (for Desktop or Ceiling Mounting only).

Wall Mount
Place the back cover on the mounting location and mark the center of the
three mounting holes.
Remove the cover from the wall and drill a hole at each of the locations you
marked. Each hole should be wide enough to hold a mounting plug (6 mm
x 35 mm).
Insert a plug into each hole. (Four 6 mm x 35 mm plugs are provided; you
need to use only three of these for wall mounting.)
Insert a screw into each of the mounting holes molded into the back
cover, and align with the holes on the wall. (Four 3.5 mm x 40 mm pan-
head screws are provided; you need to use only three of these for wall
mounting.)
Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws, attaching the back cover to the
wall.
Fit the radio inside the back cover, with the serial connection and LED
indicators facing out.
Replace the front cover, threading the cables through the opening at the
lower right side of the cover.

Remove the screws from the rubber feet.
With the 5054 turned upside down, position the base against the ceiling
where you want to mount the unit.
Mark the center of the four mounting holes in the rubber feet.
Set the 5054 aside and drill a hole at each of the locations you marked.
Each hole should be wide enough to hold a mounting plug (6 mm x 35
mm).
Insert a plug into each hole. The 5054 comes with four 6 mm x 35 mm
plugs.
Insert the screws into the holes you made previously in the rubber feet.
Insert the screws into the mounting plugs.
Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws, attaching the 5054’s metal base to
the ceiling.

Step 7: Power On the Unit
The 5054 can be powered by a power supply (just plug the power cord of the
power supply into an AC power outlet), or by PoE (connect a PoE splitter to the
Ethernet cabling).
The power supply accepts an input AC voltage in the range of 100-240 VAC.
Using PoE, you can provide electricity and wired connectivity to the unit over a
single Category 5 cable. If you use PoE, there is no difference in operation; the
only difference is the power source.
The PoE integrated module provides -48 VDC over a standard CAT5
Ethernet cable.
Maximum power supplied to the 5054 is 11 Watts. The units typically draw
less than 7.5 Watts.
You must have an PoE hub (also known as a power injector) connected to
the network to use Power-over-Ethernet. The PoE hub is not a repeater and
does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.
If connected to a PoE hub and an AC power supply simultaneously, the
radio draws power from PoE.
The cable length between the PoE hub and the radio should not exceed 100
meters (approximately 325 feet).

Step 8: View LEDs
When the unit is powered on, the 5054 performs startup diagnostics. When
startup is completed, the LEDs show the operational state of the 5054 (see the
following gure).
The following table shows the status of the LEDs when the 5054 is operational
(the fourth LED is only used during Dynamic Frequency Selection on a BSU).
