Step 1: Choose a location
To make optimal use of the unit, you must nd a suitable location for the
hardware. The range of the unit largely depends upon the position of the
integrated antenna. Proxim recommends you do a site survey, observing the
following requirements, before mounting the 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.
The units are designed to mount directly to a 1” - 1.5” pole (not included)
using the supplied band clamps. An optional universal pole mounting kit is also
available from Proxim (P/N 1087-UMK); this kit is designed to mount directly to
a at surface such as a roof, wall, or under an eave.
As the units are electrically isolated from the mounting pole, there is no need to
ground the unit.
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 unit for more information and
installation instructions.

Step 2: Attach cables
Note:
Depending on your application and location, you may nd it easier to mount
the unit before you attach cables to it. If this is the case, remove the cable
cover (as explained in step 1 below), and then complete Step 3: Mount Unit
to Pole. Return to this step for cabling instructions.
With the laying unit face down, depress both buttons on the back of the
5012-SUR unit, and pull the plastic cover downward to open. Remove
cover.
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable (5.5 mm/.217 in OD maximum; not
supplied) to the unit’s LAN port.
Route the Ethernet cable as shown below.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Data and Power Out
port of the DC Injector.
Note:
You must use an 802.3af-compliant power injector, such as the Proxim 1-
Port Power Injector (P/N 4301-xx).
Connect one end of a second Ethernet cable (not supplied) to the Data In
port of the DC Injector and the other end to a switch, hub, patch panel, or
single computer:
Use a straight-through Ethernet cable if you are connecting the unit to

a switch, hub, or patch panel.
Use a cross-over Ethernet cable or adapter if you are connecting the
unit to a single computer or most router ports.

Step 3: Mount Unit to Pole
Mount the 5012-SUR to a pole as follows:
Using a screwdriver, turn the screw on the band clamp counter-clockwise
until the clamp opens.
Place the back of the 5012-SUR against the pole such that the pole ts into
the curved portion of the unit.
With the 5012-SUR aimed in the direction of the BSU, slide the at end of
the band clamp around the pole and through the top opening in the 5012-
SUR unit, threading the at end of the band clamp into the metal catch at
the other end.
Using a 5/16” nutdriver or a screwdriver, turn the screw on the band clamp
clockwise until it is tight enough to hold the unit in place
Note:
Do not fully tighten band clamps; you must rst ensure a functional link to
the BSU (see Step 4: View LEDs/Adjust Mounting).
