Proxim Tsunami MP.11 Summary of Features

*Moonblink Recommends a Number of Remotes per BSU of 30 SU's. This setting on the BSU should always be set based on a reasonable number of actual subscriber units. The default is the maximum of 250.

Differences between Model 2411 and 5054

Model 2411 has:

• Lower maximum # of remotes per BSU (100)
• Lower throughput than 5054
• No Dynamic Frequency Selection
• No Transmit Power Control
• No AES encryption
• No DDRS

Differences Between MP.11 RSU and SU

• RSU is  lower cost
• RSU only supports  8 MAC addresses
• NO POE built in to RSU

Some features may only be available for certain models/variants

Management interfaces will allow configuration of only the options that are available for the detected hardware (2411/5054/5054 R/2454 R) and license (US-only or International; BSU, SU or RSU)

Feature	Available Model
DFS	Model 5054/5054R - Depends on Country
Turbo Mode	Model 5054/5054 R - US only
DDRS (non-turbo)	Model 5054/5054 R
NAT	SU Router Mode only
ICB	BSU Bridge Mode only
5/10 MHz Channels	Ruggedized Products only

When DDRS (Dynamic Data Rate) is enabled in the BSU, data rate is adjusted dynamically based on current communication conditions for each SU. For consistent data rates it is recommended to turn DDRS off and manually select a data rate based on the conditions of the installation. DDRS is disabled by default.

DFS Dynamic Frequency Selection is activated automatically when ETSI country is selected

Satellite Density is the parameter that influences the “receiver sensitivity threshold” of the radio interface.

• improves operation in environments with a high noise level.
• Reducing the “sensitivity” of the radio enables unwanted “noise” to be filtered out. (It disappears under the threshold.)
• It acts essentially like a “squelch” used in CB radios.
• Any signals that are weaker than the threshold are filtered out leaving only the stronger, desired signal.
• BSU should have a density setting suitable for all of its registered Satellites, especially the ones with the lowest signal levels (longest links).
• The threshold should be chosen higher than the noise level, but sufficiently below the signal level.
• A safe value is 10 dB below the present signal strength.

Software release v2.2.5 incorporates VLAN functionality for the following MP.11 models

• Tsunami MP.11 5054
• Tsunami MP.11 5054-R
• Tsunami MP.11 2454-R
• QB.11 5054-R
• QB.11 2454-R

Encryption

Model	Available Encryption Types
2411	64 and 128 bit WEP Plus*
5054	WEP 64, WEP 128, AES-OCB 128 bit
5054 R / 2454 R	WEP 64, WEP 128,  AES-OCB 128 bit, AES-CCM

*WEP Plus has not been compromised, but is proprietary to Proxim equipment.

Intracell Blocking (ICB) is the feature to block traffic between two SU’s based on MAC Addresses

Tsunam MP.11 Installation/Configuration Tips

• The MP.11 unit reverts to an IP address of 10.0.0.1 if it does not obtain an address from a DHCP server when in client mode.
• Each of the three management interfaces (HTTP, Telnet, SNMP) is enabled by default. Proxim recommends you change the default password on each interface.
• RIP is set to “do not send” by default, but listens for RIP updates. Disabling RIP in routing mode is not supported.
• Static routes added to the routing table take effect immediately when in routing mode. However, routes are not permanently saved in the table until the unit is rebooted.
• Only one Tsunami MP.11 system can be selected as a Remote Link Test partner at a time.
• The Base Station Name variable lets the SU specify exactly to which BSU they want to connect and prevents roaming in overlapping signal areas.
• The Network Name must always be set. It defines the BSU or group of BSUs to which the SU can roam if the Base Station Name variable in the SU is empty.
• If DDRS in not enabled, the BSU's data rate should be set to the lowest value necessary to support the farthest SU/RSU (or the unit with the lowest signal level) in a mixed network of SUs with high and low signal levels. The SU/RSU data rate should not be lower than the data rate of the BSU.
