Tsunami QuickBridge II T1/E1 Quick Install Guide
To connect the Power & Ethernet Adapter to a switch or a hub, use a crossover Ethernet cable.
5. If your installed radio is connected to a switch or a hub, connect your PC to the same switch or hub . Each
PC is used to configure and control its associated radio.
6. Connect the Power & Ethernet Adapter to a grounded AC power source. A chirping sound should be heard
from the radio indicating power to the radio.
7. To pass T1/E1 traffic, connect radio to the T1 circuits using properly shielded 8-pin modular (RJ-48C)
connectors. Connect to the E1 circuits using properly shielded 8-pin modular (RJ-45) connectors.
For information about constructing your own interface cable, see “Constructing an Interface Cable” in
QuickBridge II T1/E1 Installation and Management.
Notes:
• There is no ON/OFF switch on the radio. To remove power to the radio, unplug the AC cord from the AC
outlet or disconnect the 8-pin DIN connector from the Power & Ethernet Adapter.
• The radio software program can run on two PCs connected to both ends of the link and not interfere with
one another.
STEP 5. TEST RADIOS BACK-TO-BACK
Before mounting the radios, Proxim recommends a back-to-back test of the radio pair, using one PC per radio.
Back-to-back testing is a simple way to verify that the radios are fully operational before they are installed.
The process of installation adds several variables that can add to system turn-up delays during troubleshooting
(such as antenna alignment, cabling, and path dynamics). Back-to-back testing can eliminate link problems
caused by auxiliary equipment, installation, or the radio path, and isolates potential radio hardware problems.
Note: Back-to-back testing must be performed to verify a radio problem before returning any radio to Proxim for
repair.
When the equipment is connected as shown in the following figure, a wireless link should be established.
