Tsunami MP.11and MP.11a Installation and Management
Chapter 1. Overview
The Tsunami MP.11 and MP.11a are flexible wireless outdoor routers that let you design solutions for
point-to-point links and point-to-multipoint networks.
The Tsunami MP.11 and MP.11a are product families comprising several products (such as the MP.11
2411 Base Station and the MP.11 2411 Residential Subscriber Unit). For simplification:
▪ All products that are part of the MP.11 Product Family are referred to as MP.11.
▪ All products that are part of the MP.11a Product Family are referred to as MP.11a.
▪ MP.11/a is used in this book when referring to both the Tsunami MP.11 and MP.11a product
families.
Some of the key features of the MP.11/a are:
▪ The use of a highly optimized protocol for outdoor situations
▪ Routing and bridging capability
▪ Asymmetric bandwidth management
▪ Management through a Web Interface, a Command Line Interface (CLI), or Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP)
