Installation and Initialization
Tsunami MP-8100 Installation and Management Guide 20
• Weatherproofing material for sealing external connectors (such as butyl tape)
• Straight-through UV-protected STP-rated Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable for connecting to PC, or cable for connecting to a
hub or a switch.
NOTE: The total length of cabling between the PC and the MP units cannot exceed 100 meters, which includes both
the cable from the PC to the power injector and the cable from the power injector to the MP unit. Due to DC power
requirements, the maximum cable length between the power injector and the MP units is 75 meters.
Step 4: Unpack the Product Package
1. Unpack the device and accessories from the shipping box.
2. Note the Ethernet and MAC addresses of the unit as well as the serial number. These addresses may be used when
configuring the unit.
NOTE: The serial number is required to obtain support from Proxim. Keep this information in a safe place.
Step 5: Assemble the Cable
You will be attaching an outdoor-rated 24 AWG Cat5e/Cat6 cable to the Power-over-Ethernet port on the lower side of the
unit. Proxim greatly simplifies this assembly process by offering pre-assembled RJ45 terminated, UV Rated, STP Cat5e cable
kits in 25m, 50m, and 75m lengths (part numbers 76590, 76591, and 76592, respectively). Weatherproof caps are supplied
but not pre-assembled.
To assemble the cable and weather proof the RJ45 connectors
1. Slide the sealing nut (E) over the bare end of the Cat5e/Cat6 cable.
2. Slide the tube-shaped compression washer (C) into the compression ring (D) and onto the Cat5e/Cat6 cable.
3. Insert the flat washer (A) into the connector body (B) to make it waterproof and screw the connector body into the
Ethernet connector hole.
4. Terminate the RJ45 connectors to both ends of the Cat5e/Cat6 cable and test for proper wiring (cable should be a
straight-through cable).
5. Slide the Cat5e/Cat6 cable through the Ethernet connector body (B) in to the Ethernet jack inside the enclosure. The
cable connector should latch into the jack.
6. Thread the sealing nut (E) onto the connector body (B) and hand tighten it to make a waterproof compression around
the cable.
7. Open the notch on both sides of the toroid and fix it on Ethernet Cat5e/Cat6 cable as shown in the figure. Then, lock
the notch of the Toroid by pressing it.
NOTE: The steps 1-6 apply for assembling the weather proofing kit for Serial cable. It is mandatory that both ethernet
cables should be attached with toroids that are provided in the product package
