5.2 Grounding
Grounding of the AW-100 system to the local site grounding system is essential for both
safety and proper RF performance. The grounding of the IP-RAN system should be
integrated with the overall site grounding plan as designed by the site planning engineer.
A “halo” perimeter grounding system is recommended for sites equipped with external
antennas that are subject to possible lightning strikes.
A ground strap is provided with each AW-100 system and each RU system to allow
bonding to a ground bus bar or to a common rack grounding point. Each ground wire is
installed on the AW-100 main unit and on the RU amplifier system as shown in Figure 5-
2.
Customer to provide and install (crimp to existing lug) ground cable (AWG 10-12)
between system and the common ground.
Other ground cabling or bus bars used in site installation must be suited to the purpose
and meet any applicable local electrical codes.
Ground connections should be tested for continuity after installation.

6 Frequency Setting Procedures
This section provided to meet regulatory requirements in certain jurisdictions which require local
frequency setting procedures. Normally frequency settings should be made only in the iBSM
system which will subsequently download them to the base station. Refer to the iBSM manuals
for configuration and operating instructions.
6.1 iBSM Management
The AW-100 series base stations are normally managed by the centrally located iBSM
(Integrated Base Station Manager) system which communicates with the AW-100 over an
IP connection.
The iBSM downloads system software and configuration information which includes the
physical FA (Frequency Assignment) for each base station. The base station tunes to the
correct frequency as defined by the BSM configuration files.
Refer to the iBSM operations manual for instructions on base station remote
configuration.
6.2 Local FA Setting
It may be required to set the AW-100 series base station physical FA locally for
specialized test purposes or when the iBSM connection is unavailable (for example
during early RN installations). This can be done using the local MMI (Man Machine
Interface) port and a local PC.
The configuration data downloaded from the iBSM will override local settings when iBSM
connections are established.
6.2.1 MMI Connection
Connect the serial port of the PC to the “RN MMI” port on the AW-100 front panel. Use
only the Serial MMI cable provided by AirWalk and the following port settings:
• 115200 baud
• 8 bit
• No Parity
• 1 stop bit
• No flow control

7 Installation Procedures
This Section gives instructions for installing the AW100 Series IP-RAN and for connecting
it to the wireless infrastructure.
Always refer to the Cell Site Installation documents provided by the Project Engineer for
the specific project. These instructions will include site specific installation requirements
in addition to generic installation practices. Site specific installation instructions could also
include special arrangements for power supplies, cabling, backhaul equipment
connections and other specific requirements.
Prior to installation, it is necessary to assign IP addresses and a permanent base station
ID for each IP-RAN system installed. The IP address of the managing iBSM system is
also required. This essential information is needed for site configuration prior to leaving
the site. Once the IP-RAN ID, IP addresses and managing iBSM IP address are installed
in the AW-100 Series IP-RAN base station, the base station can then establish a link to
the iBSM and download the site specific configuration information in addition to any
updated software loads.
It is recommended that the central managing iBSM system be installed and each base
station configuration exists in the iBSM prior to installation of the site. If this preparation
is performed, then each installed base station will obtain a correct configuration
immediately after installation and proper operation can be verified by the installer before
leaving the site.
If the managing iBSM is not present prior to installation, then the IP-RAN can be installed
and will continuously attempt communication with the iBSM until found, and a
configuration downloaded. This allows base stations to be installed prior to the installation
of a central managing iBSM system installation if the project schedule requires early
installation of the base stations.
7.1 Verify Customer Contact and Equipment location
7.1.1 Contact customer1
1) Verify customer and installer contact names for the installation. Contacts names
should be provided for all persons or groups involve in site preparation or planning.

3) +12 VDC Models require a rectified and filtered nominal 24V DC power source.
Voltage can range from 22 VDC to 28 VDC to allow use with a float charged battery
system. A designated 50A source with independent over current protection is
required for each IP-RAN unit (fused or circuit breaker). No other equipment should
be connected to the designated circuit breaker.
4) DC powered models require suitable cables with connector lugs to be supplied by the
installer for connection to the DC power source. A #4 or a #2 AWG gauge fine
stranded cable is recommended. Other gauges may be required depending on the
calculated voltage drop. The recommended bolted bus bar connection is a Blackburn
p/n CLT2-2516 or equivalent. Use the bolts supplied with the IP-RAN to connect to
the bus bar.
5) Proper ground connections are essential for both safety and for proper RF
performance. Racks must be equipped with either a grounded bus bar running the
height of the rack, or a common bonding point with a dedicated ground cable
connected to a common cell site ground system. Installation requires that both the IP-
RAN main unit and the RU amplifier system be connected to a common site ground
using ground straps provided with the system. The site ground system must be
independently tested and verified for low resistance to ground.
7.1.5 Verify location of LAN facilities and connection points
1) Locate the customer provided LAN connection points. This could be a dedicated
Ethernet switch, or a set of Ethernet connection points on an IP transport system
terminal.
2) The IP-RAN system requires one IP address for proper operation. RNC(BSC) and
RN(BTS) are working by one.
3) All Ethernet connection should be made using RJ-45 connectors and Category 5 or 6
Ethernet cables capable of supporting 10/100BaseT operation.
4) The static IP Address setting for the IP-RAN will be done after power up using the
web server tool (ref BSM Operations Manual). A site connection and IP addressing
diagram should be prepared for each site and posted at the site after installation.
5) It is strongly recommended that a copy of local site IP routing and addressing
diagrams be sent to AirWalk at the following address to support any remote
diagnostics needed.

AirWalk Proprietary and Confidential Page 40 of 54
2) Any discrepancies or problems must be clarified and changes approved by the
designated RF Systems Engineer prior to powering up any base station.
3) Locate the GPS antenna cables and verify the cable is equipped with a TNC
connector for connection to the IP-RAN base station.
Base station operation is still possible without a GPS connection; however, it will not be possible
to implement soft handoff and related features. In cases where GPS is not provided, the base
station will obtain local time from the BSM time server to ensure mobile handset display is
correct.
7.1.7 Verify physical mounting racks are present and suitable
1) Rack mounted IP-RAN systems must be mounted in a suitable 19” EAI standard rack
system that can support the weight of the IP-RAN and also provide adequate rear
support for the power supply. Mounting height requirements are as follows:
a) Main Unit 1 RU (Rack Units) [1 RU = 1.75” (44mm)]
b) RU System 2 RU (Rack Units) [Omni RU System]
c) DC RPSU 1 RU [DC models only]
2) The normal unit stacking lineup is (from bottom to top): RPSU; RU; Main Unit. Do not
change this lineup since all the factory supplied cables are sized for this stack model.
3) It is MANDATORY that suitable rear support be provided at the bottom of the IP-RAN
stack.
a) In the case of 4 post racks, provide rear support using either a rear cross bar
support, a shelf, or mounting brackets for the rear of the chassis.
b) In the case of 2 post racks, provide a suitable heavy duty shelf capable of
holding at least 100 lbs (45 kg). Other options include using a centre

5) AC Models Only: Connect the AC line cords for the IP-RAN a dedicated AC power
source.
Only use the cables provided with the system for continued safe operation.
6) DC Models Only: Locate and verify the polarity of the DC power source cables. Slip a
4” length of heat shrink tubing over each DC cable. Connect the cable lugs to the
RPSU DC power bus bars using the supplied connector lug bolts. Tighten the bolts
firmly to ensure a solid electrical connection. The use of electrical contact grease is
acceptable if desired. Slide the heat shrink tubing over the bus bar connection and
use a heat gun to secure the connection.
Short circuits in high current DC power systems can be dangerous. All exposed DC
connections must be protected to prevent accidental short circuits.
7.2.4 Power-up procedure
Verify all connections are correct prior to powering up base station.
1) AC Models Only
a. Switch on the AC power source.
b. Switch on the IP-RAN main unit power switch located on the rear panel power
entry point. The switch is located adjacent to the DC PWR connection.
2) DC Models Only
a. Switch on or engage the circuit breakers at the +12 VDC power source.
b. Switch on the RPSU main circuit breaker located on the RPSU front panel.
c. Use the RPSU voltmeter to verify the presence of +24/27 VDC power.
d. Switch on the RPSU RU circuit breaker located on the RPSU front panel. Note
the increase in current consumption on the RPSU current meter.
e. Switch on the IP-RAN main unit (AW-100) circuit breaker located on the RPSU
front panel. Note the increase in current consumption on the RPSU current
meter.
3) The IP-RAN unit will automatically initiate the startup procedure.
4) Verify communication between the IP-RAN main unit and the RU amplifier system by
observing the communications indicators (led MST) on the RU front panel. The
indicators should on to indicate communication is occurring.

AirWalk Proprietary and Confidential Page 43 of 54
5) Verify the Ethernet backhaul links are communicating by observing the activity
indicators on the external Ethernet switch. The activity indicators are typically found
on the front panel or adjacent to the connection point on Ethernet switches. The
indicators should be flashing intermittently to indicate the presence of IP packet
activity.
7.2.5 Installation Completion
Completion of the installation requires that all cables be suitably routed and bundled for a
neat appearance. All cables should be tie wrapped as needed to ensure cables will not
move or be stressed in normal system operation. External cables should be labeled in
accordance with the site specific installation drawings prepared by the site planning
engineer.
All garbage and installation materials, including wire clippings and tie wrap ends, must be
removed from the site prior to completing the installation.
7.3 Initial System Configuration
Each IP-RAN system requires configuration of key site specific information prior to
operation to allow the system to communicate and contact the controlling iBSM system.
One this initial information is configured the system will automatically download software
and configuration information from the iBSM. No additional on-site configuration is
required after this initial configuration is completed.
The following items must be configured in the base station after installation using the
Web Server installation support tool:
- IP-RAN IP Address: Locally valid static IP address (allows IP communications)
- IP-RAN Identity: Unique identifier associated with a iBSM site configuration
- Host iBSM IP Address of RNC: IP address of the controlling iBSM (allows initial
contact)
Additional capabilities are provided in the Web Server Installation Tool to identify sub-net
masks and net gateways, and the ability to select optional boot modes.
The required IP addresses and base station identity for a particular site are normally set
up in advance by the network control center engineers prior to site deployment. Ensure
this information has been provided prior to installation configuration.

7.3.1 Web Server Installation Tool Set-up
The Web Server Installation Tool is built into the IP-RAN base station. Connection to the
tool requires only a PC equipped with an Ethernet capability and a common browser such
as Explorer.
Connection from the PC to the base station is made over the local Ethernet connection at
the cell site, usually via the local on site Ethernet switch (Figure 7-1).
Refer to the Web Server Installation Tool document for complete instructions on
configuring the PC and browser to access the web server tool. Abbreviated instructions
are provided in the remainder of this section for users previously familiar with the Web
Server Tool.
Figure 7-1 Initial Configuration Using Local Web Server
7.3.2 Web Server Connections
There are some rules that should be followed when making the parameter changes.
Some of the parameters have to be used with a valid IP address format such as
“xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”, where xxx is a digit between 0 to 255.
The parameters that are important for the configuration of the AW100 are Primary IP
Address, Subnet Mask, Host IP Address, and Gateway. In addition BSID, Base Station
ID, should be composed of number between 0 to 4095. The value of 5000 is a special
AW100 Series System Installation Manual
____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
AirWalk Proprietary and Confidential Page 45 of 54
BSID number that will be used for the manufacturing default number. This number
should be changed before the operation can begin.
Use these default addresses to access the AW100 functions for the first time using the
PC browser. Enter these IP addresses in the browser address bar to gain access to the
AW100 functions.
Once a base station has been configured, the default addresses are not longer valid.
To gain access locally to a base station that has already been configured (running), use
either the new IP address (the primary address) or a secondary IP address in the AW-
100 IP-RAN system. It depends up the BSID value. This secondary IP address is an
alternate means to access the system from within the unit’s LAN. The secondary IP
Address takes the following format:
172.3X.YYY.ZZZ
X = 0 for 1xEV-DO systems
X= 1 for 1xRTT systems.
Internally, the dotted fields are represented by eight bits per field for a total 32 bits per
address. YYY and ZZZ fields are derived from the BSID by shifting the 12 bit BSID that
range from 0 to 4095 as mentioned above. To calculate the BSID into YYY.ZZZ, shift the
BSID by 4 bits then add the final bits. The final two bits are 01 for RN. For example
BSID = 4095 can be calculated as follow:
Decimal 4095 = hex FFF = bin 1111 1111 1111
Then shift 4 to left then add 01 = 1111 1111 1111 0001
Calculate it back to Hex = FF F1
YYY.ZZZ becomes FF.F1 and this will come up with secondary IP Address.
For the above example of 1xRTT with BSID 4095 will have secondary IP Address as
follow:
172.31.255.241
where X = 1 since it is 1xRTT product with YYY=FF=255 and ZZZ = F1 = 241.
For the factory default setting with BSID=5000, following are secondary IP address:
For 1xRTT system: 172.31.255.251
For EVDO system: 172.30.255.251
You must know either the base station id or the current IP address to access the web
server function when the base station is running.
The Web Server function is also equipped with a security log in to prevent unauthorized
access from the local IP network. The following default log-in parameters are used:
Login ID: air
Password: airairair
