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

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

Step 4: View LEDs/Adjust Mounting
LEDs are located in the cable compartment.
When the unit is powered on, the 5012-SUR performs startup diagnostics.
When startup is completed, the LEDs show the operational state of the 5012-
SUR.
The following table shows the status of the LEDs when the 5012-SUR is
operational.

If a wireless link is not established with the BSU, adjust the direction of the unit
so that the integrated antenna is more precisely aimed toward the BSU. When
the Power LED is solid green, the link is correctly established.

INITIALIZATION
Connecting to the unit requires either:
A direct physical connection with an Ethernet cable or with a serial RS-232
cable
A network connection
Connecting with the Ethernet cable allows you to use of the Web Interface and
SNMP in addition to the CLI. Connecting with a serial connection allows you to
congure and manage the unit with the CLI.
Using a serial connection, you can access the unit through a terminal emulation
program such as HyperTerminal. (See “HyperTerminal Connection Properties” in
the Tsunami MP.11 Reference Manual.)
Setting the IP Address
With ScanTool (a software utility that is included on the product installation
CD), you can nd out the current IP address of the unit and, if necessary,
change it so that is appropriate for your network.
ScanTool lets you nd the IP address of a Tsunami MP.11 5012-SUR by
referencing the MAC address in a Scan List, or to assign an IP address if the
correct one has not been assigned. The tool automatically detects the units
installed on your network segment, regardless of IP address, and lets you
congure each unit’s IP settings. In addition, you can use ScanTool to download
new software to a unit that does not have a valid software image installed.
To discover and set/change the IP address of the unit:
Run ScanTool on a computer connected to the same LAN subnet as the
unit, or a computer directly connected to the unit with a cross-over
Ethernet cable. Double-click the ScanTool icon on the Windows desktop to
launch the program. If the icon is not on your desktop, click Start > All
Programs > Tsunami > MP.11 5012-SUR > Scan Tool.
ScanTool scans the subnet for 5012-SUR units and displays a list of the
units it nds in the Scan List window (shown below). If necessary, click
Rescan to re-scan the subnet and update the display.

Accessing the Command Line Interface
Ethernet Port
To use the CLI through the Ethernet port, you must have a telnet program, the
CLI password, and the unit’s IP address.
To access the unit through Ethernet on a Windows PC:
Open a DOS command window: from the Windows Start menu, select
Run; enter cmd.
In the DOS window displayed, enter the IP address (for example, telnet
10.0.0.1).

In some cases, it may not be possible to retrieve the unit’s IP address. In this
case, you can connect to the serial port by connecting to the unit through the
serial port. You still need the CLI password of the unit. Proxim recommends
you power off the radio and the computer before connecting or disconnecting
the serial cable.
To access the unit through the serial port:
Start your terminal program.
Set the following connection properties; then connect:
COM port: such as COM1 or COM2, to which the unit’s serial
port is connected
