PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED

The Marquee P-P must be installed as a system by experienced antenna installation

professionals who are familiar with Radio Frequency (RF) issues such as gains and

losses, as well as local building and safety codes. Failure to do so will void the product

warranty and may expose the end user to excessive RF hazard.

Regulations regarding maximum antenna gains, power output and maximum permissible

exposure vary from country to country. It is the responsibility of the end user to operate

within the limits of these regulations and to ensure that the professional installers who

install this device are aware of these regulations. All antennas are intended to be installed

outdoors.

Section 1

Overview

1.1 Description

The Marquee™ Point-to-MultiPoint (P-MP) Series is a powerful answer for customers seeking a reliable

high-speed wireless connectivity solution. It provides the best features and wireless reach in the field by

combining industry leading outdoor Point-to-MultiPoint optimized software with its patented amplifier

technology. Unlike other single band products, Marquee gives you the choice of installing a license-free

5.8 GHz, or a licensed 4.9 GHz network. If your needs change in the future, Marquee can change with

you.

The Marquee P-MP Series features the award-winning industry standard TurboCell

software, a protocol

which significantly enhances the performance of outdoor 802.11 systems through the use of adaptive

dynamic polling, bandwidth allocation at the client, and packet aggregation. TurboCell

solves the “hidden

node” problem inherent in adding nodes to traditional 802.11 outdoor networks.

Marquee P-MP Series is comprised of Marquee Base units and Marquee Client / Customer Premise

Equipment (CPE) units, also called Remote or Satellite units. The Marquee Base and Satellites are

available in two types of enclosures: a flat panel (FP) and a ruggedized (EX) enclosure (see Figures 1.1a

and b). The FP enclosure features an integrated antenna. The EX enclosure comes either with a flat

panel antenna attached to the top of the unit, or it has an N-type connector on the rear to plug an external

antenna.

Refer to Appendix A for Marquee P-MP technical specifications.

1.2 Marquee P-MP Kit Contents

Each Marquee P-MP kit includes the following (refer to Figures 1.1a and b):

•Outdoor radio with mounting hardware

•Surge protected Cat 5 DC Power Injector

•110/240 VAC to 48 VDC power supply

•CD-ROM with Windows-based Configurator software

•User’s Manual

A Terabeam outdoor Ethernet cable must be ordered separately per unit. Available lengths are 50, 100,

200, or 300 feet. Models with external antennas include one 6 ft LMR-600 coax cable per unit.

1 Marquee 1.0 P-MP units operating with TurboCell

do not support traditional 802.11 Base station or Client access.

Section 2

Installation

Safety Warning

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for

an uncontrolled environment when installed as directed. The equipment

should be installed and operated outdoors with fix-mounted antennas

such that there will be a minimum of 2 meters of separation distance

between the antenna and all persons during normal operation. This

includes integrated, attached and external antenna versions of

equipment.

CAUTION

2.1 Introduction

The Marquee P-MP is intended for professional installation only. Please review the entire manual before

powering up or deploying these units.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you configure and test the units prior to deploying them in the

field. Set up a “mini-network” that resembles your actual configuration as close as possible.

By using such a mock-up, troubleshooting potential problems will be much easier than if you

already installed the equipment in the field. Read through this entire Section 2 to understand

how to install the hardware. To configure the Marquee P-MP, read Section 3.

2.2 DC Power Injector

The Cat 5 DC Power Injector is not in a waterproof enclosure and must be protected from the weather. It

can be permanently mounted to a surface using the double stick tape found on the back of it.

2.3 Power Supply

The Marquee P-MP kit comes with a 110/220 VAC to 48 VDC power supply that has a standard barrel

plug [center pin positive (+) tip and outer ring negative (-)].

2.4 LEDs

Three LEDs are present on the back of the Marquee (see Figures 2.1a and b):

•The green Power LED stays on when the unit is plugged and operating correctly

•The green Wireless Link LED flashes when there is traffic over the wireless medium

•The green Ethernet Link LED flashes when there is traffic over the Ethernet port

he integrated antenna can be mounted either vertically or horizontally polarized. The label located onT

the back of the unit contains an arrow indicating the antenna’s polarization (see Figures 2.3a and b).

Please note that both ends of the link must use the same polarization. Be aware that most omni

antennas are vertically polarized and if the Marquee P-MP FP is aimed at one, it must be installed

vertically polarized, i.e., with the polarization arrow up and down.

1. Fit the pole mounting bracket (A) to the two studs protruding from the back of the Marquee P-MP FP

unit according to the desired polarization, as shown in Figures 2.3a and b. Position the bracket so that

the side that has the circular tab is pointing towards the center of the unit. Secure to the unit by

threading two nuts and tighten them firmly with an appropriate wrench.

2. Attach the pivot adaptor bracket (B) to the pole mounting bracket (A) by using bolt and nut, as shown

in Fig 2.4. Tighten hardware (one place). IMPORTANT: Ensure that convex edge of the pivot adaptor

bracket (B) is facing concave edge of the pole mounting bracket (A).

3. Turn the pivot adaptor bracket (B) so that the rectangular part is parallel with the surface of the

Marquee P-MP FP. Fasten the Marquee P-MP unit to the pole using pole clamp (C), U-bolt (D), and

two nuts, as shown in Fig 2.5. Tighten hardware (two places). The pole clamp (C) and U-bolt (D) will

accept pole diameters between 0.75” to 1.5” OD.

The antenna can be mounted either vertically or horizontally polarized. If you are using a Marquee P-MP

with an attached antenna, the label located on the back of the unit shows an arrow indicating the

antenna’s polarization (see Figures 2.7a and b). Please note that both ends of the link must use the

same polarization. Be aware that most omni antennas are vertically polarized and if the Marquee P-MP

EX is aimed at one, it must be installed vertically polarized, i.e., with the polarization arrow up and down.

If you are using a Marquee P-MP with an external antenna, there is no arrow on the label located on the

back of the unit and an additional N-type female jack is present to connect a short coax cable to the

antenna (see Figure 2.1b). All previous considerations regarding polarization are applicable to the

external antenna.

WARNING

If you are using a Marquee P-MP with an external antenna, the unit must

be operated with a proper antenna, microwave load or terminator

plugged into the N-type female jack on the back of the unit. Operating

the Marquee P-MP with nothing connected to the jack may result in

damage to the TX section of the unit which will not be covered by the

factory warranty and will be a billable repair.

1. Fit the adaptor bracket (A) to the four studs protruding from the back of the Marquee P-MP EX unit, by

aligning the four inner holes with the mounting studs on the back of the unit and securing to the unit

using four nuts, lock washers, and flat washers, as shown in Figure 2.8. Tighten hardware (four

places). IMPORTANT: Note the position of the serrated edge of bracket (A).

Attach the pole mounting bracket (B) to adaptor bracket (A) by using one M8x

. 40 bolt and flat washer

. s,

2on one side, and nut, lock washer and flat washer on the other, as shown in Fig 2.8. Tighten hardware

(one place). IMPORTANT: Ensure that the serrated edges on both brackets are facing each other.

Fasten the unit to the pole using pole clamp (C) and two M8x70 bolts, lock washers, and flat washer3as shown in Fig 2.9. Tighten hardware (two places). The pole mounting bracket (B) will accept pole
