Installation manual BSR revised
Installing the BSR This chapter describes the installation of the WipLL Base Station Radio (BSR), which is installed at the Base Station. Warning: This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Note: The maximum cable length between the BSR and terminating equipment is 100 meters. 6.1. Basic Design and Physical Dimensions The BSR is encased in a chassis providing access to the BSR’s communication ports on the front panel. The BSR’s bottom panel provides holes for mounting the BSR to, for example, a pole or wall. The BSR provides the following ports: 9-pin D-type: RS-232 (serial) interface 15-pin D-type: data, synchronization, and power interface 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 6-1 Installing the BSR Hardware Installation Guide Serial port Data, synchronization, and power port Figure 6-1: BSR front panel (built-in antenna model) The BSR’s physical dimensions are described in Table 6-1 Table 6-1: BSR physical dimensions Parameter 6-2 Value Height 400 mm (15.74 inches) Width 317 mm (12.48 inches) Depth 65.5 mm (2.58 inches) Weight 4.7 kg Comment The BSR’s physical dimensions exclude the mounting kit Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardw are Installation Guide Installing the BSR 6.2. Mounting The BSR can be mounted on a wall or pole. The BSR is mounted using the mounting holes located on the BSR’s bottom panel (see Figure 6-2) and the mounting bracket (provided by Airspan). Mounting holes Figure 6-2: BSR bottom panel providing holes for mounting Note: The BSR must be mounted in a location whereby the antenna used for the BSR is not co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 6-3 Installing the BSR Hardware Installation Guide 6.2.1. Minimum Distance Between BSRs To prevent radio interference, each BSR requires a minimum of 1-metre separation between adjacent BSRs (see Figure 6-3). 1 Metre min. Figure 6-3: Minimum separation between mounted BSRs Warning: To avoid RF interference between BSRs operating in the 700 MHz, where four BSRs are installed at a Base Station, a 1-meter separation must be provided between the antennas of the BSRs operating in the lower frequencies (i.e., 711.5 and 714.5 for 1 Msps mode; 712 and 714 for 1.33 Msps mode) and the antennas of the BSRs operating in the upper frequencies (i.e., 741.5 and 744.5 for 1 Msps mode; 742 and 744 for 1.33 Msps mode). Warning: The BSR emits microwave radiation; a minimum distance of 200 mm must be maintained from the front of the BSR. However, for the 700 MHz band (i.e. WipLL 700), when external antennas are used, a minimum distance of 800 mm must be maintained from the front of the device. 6-4 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardw are Installation Guide Installing the BSR 6.2.2. Wall Mounting BSR wall mounting is performed in two stages: Attaching the mounting bracket to the BSR’s mounting holes Attaching the mounting bracket (attached to the BSR) to the wall To mount the BSR on a wall: 1. Attach the mounting bracket to the BSR using two stainless steel bolts, as shown in Figure 6-4.

Attach the Clamping bracket to the pole by placing the U-bolt around the pole, and then inserting the U-bolt through the Clamping bracket and securing it by screwing the two bolts on the U-bolt. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 6-9 Installing the BSR Hardware Installation Guide 4. Adjust the vertical position of the BSR. Lock the BSR at the desired position by inserting the locking bolt in the desired position. Once the correct angle has been set both bolts must be tightened to lock the BSR bracket in place. 5. Adjust the horizontal position of the BSR by rotating the BSR about the pole, and then tighten the U-bolt. BSR positioning is obtained in two planes by adjustment of the mounting bracket assembly a shown in Figure 6-9. Rotation about the mounting bracket Rotation about the mounting pole Figure 6-9: BSR orientation in vertical (top figure) and horizontal plane (lower figure) Note: A thread-locking compound is to be used to prevent the bolts working loose. A loop should be left in the cable for maintenance purposes and to prevent the cable weight being taken directly on the connector. 6-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardw are Installation Guide Installing the BSR 6.3. Connecting Third-Party External Antennas (Optional) A third-party external antenna can be attached to the BSR model providing an Ntype port. The addition of an external antenna allows greater RF sector coverage than the standard BSR Internal Antenna model (i.e., 60°). The BSR with an external antenna is especially suited for Base Stations with one BSR, where sector coverage can be increased to 360° by using an omni-directional antenna. The BSR model for the 900 MHz and 700 MHz bands provide two N-type connectors for attaching two external antennas. This provides dual-antenna diversity. Warning: It is the responsibility of the person installing the WipLL system to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), that only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the output power level of antennas according to country regulations and per antenna type. Warning: For WipLL 700 MHz, where four BSRs are installed at a Base Station, a 1-meter separation must be provided between the antennas of the BSRs operating in the lower frequencies (i.e., 711.5 and 714.5 for 1 Msps mode; and 712 and 714 for 1.33 Msps mode) and the antennas of the BSRs operating in the upper frequencies (i.e., 741.5 and 744.5 for 1 Msps mode; and 742 and 744 for 1.33 Msps mode). Warning: In accordance with FCC regulations, ensure that when operating in unlicensed bands, the external antennas provide a maximum EIRP of 36 dBm to prevent interference with other radios operating in the unlicensed band. The EIRP is defined as: Max. Power Output + Antenna Gain + Cable Loss ≤ 36 dBm (EIRP) 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 6-11 Installing the BSR Hardware Installation Guide The following lists the BSR-to-third party antenna cable setup: Cable (third party): RF coaxial Connector (third party): N-type male (two N-type connectors for BSR model for 900 MHz band. The N-type socket labeled Primary is used only if one antenna is connected. If you are using two antennas for diversity coverage, attach the second antenna to the other N-type socket.) Warnings: 1) Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the BSR is NOT connected to the power source. 2) Before powering on the BSR, ensure that some type of equipment such as an antenna or an RF attenuator is connected to the N-type socket. This eliminates the risk of damaging the BSR device. 6-12 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardw are Installation Guide Installing the BSR To connect the BSR to a thrid-party external antenna: Attach the third-party N-type male connector, at the end of the RF cable, to the N-type socket located on the BSR’s front panel, as displayed in Figure 6-10. Notes: 1) For crimping cables for N-type connectors, see Appendix B, “Cable Crimping”. 2) Ensure that the third-party antenna cable is of sufficient quality to reduce or eliminate loss when operating in the required frequency band. Figure 6-10: Attaching third-party external antenna 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 6-13 Installing the BSR Hardware Installation Guide 6.4. Cabling for Serial Configuration The BSR provides an RS-232 port for serial interface to a PC. This serial interface allows you to perform local BSR configuration. Notes: 1) For serial configuration, the BSR must remain connected to the BSDU/SDA (i.e., the BSR’s 15-pin D-type port remains connected to the BSDU’s/SDA’s 15pin D-type port). 2) For a detailed explanation on performing BSR initial configuration, refer to WipConfig User’s Guide or WipConfig PDA User’s Guide.
