Introduction

IntroductionIntroduction

Introduction

Airspan’s AS WipLL system (hereafter referred to as WipLL) is a low-cost, high-

performance point-to-multipoint IP-based Broadband Fixed Wireless (BFW) Access

solution. WipLL provides wireless local-loop (last-mile) connectivity designed to

deliver high-speed data, Voice over IP (VoIP), and multimedia services to

residential, SOHO (small office/home office), and SME (small medium enterprise).

WipLL offers service providers an integrated access solution, providing quick-to-

market deployment and low-market entry cost for broadband services.

WipLL provides connectivity speeds of up to 4 Mbps in the licensed 2.8 GHz, 3.x

GHz, and Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Services (MMDS), and unlicensed

2.4 GHz (ISM) and 5.8 GHz radio frequency bands. In the 5.8 GHz band, the

WipLL system supports 3 Mbps and 4 Mbps transmission speeds. For 1, 2, and 3

Mbps, WipLL implements the Frequency Hopping spread spectrum mode; for 4

Mbps, WipLL implements the Hybrid spread spectrum mode. Each WipLL base

station, at maximum configuration, supports up to 3,024 subscribers.

WipLL enables interconnection with the Public Switched Telephone Network

(PSTN) by the use of an IP-to-PSTN gateway. WipLL provides VoIP by its

interoperability with a wide range of third-party products such as residential

gateways (RGW), access gateways, gatekeepers, and softswitches.

WipLL utilizes air protocol technology for wireless packet switching using

Frequency Hopping technology. In addition, WipLL's in-house Preemptive Polling

Multiple Access (PPMA) air MAC protocol technology, which recognizes

transmission type and assigns bandwidth, is highly efficient—80% throughput (e.g.,

80% of 4 Mbps = 3.2 Mbps net capacity)—allowing multiple concurrent subscribers

to utilize bandwidth.

Introduction Hardware Installation Manual

1-2 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-03

WipLL provides bandwidth management by supporting Committed Information

Rate (CIR) and Maximum Information Rate (MIR), guaranteeing bandwidth levels

to subscribers. In addition, WipLL supports VLANs/VPNs based on IEEE

802.1Q/p. WipLL supports IP routing and PPPoE bridging, as well as transparent

bridging, allowing easy IP addressing schemes.

WipLL provides embedded security features such as IP (packet) filters based on

addresses, protocols, and applications.

The WipLL system provides SNMP-based management, allowing remote and local

management, configuration, and monitoring of WipLL equipment.

1.2. Customer Benefits

The WipLL system provides the following customer benefits and advantages over

competitors:

! No IF or RF cables required for indoor unit-to-outdoor unit (IDU-to-ODU)

connectivity, providing a more cost-effective and easier installation. Instead of

IF/RF cables, WipLL implements standard CAT-5 Ethernet cables.

! Scalability and modular architecture allows customers to add equipment when

needed, thereby allowing low initial cost entry and pay-as-you-grow strategy.

Unlike competitors, WipLL is not a chassis-based design, providing flexibility

and saving space at the base station.

! WipLL's open architecture allows interoperability with multi-vendor products

such as residential gateways (RGW), access gateways, gatekeepers, and

softswitches, thereby, operating seamlessly in multi-vendor environments.

! WipLL’s proprietary PPMA air MAC protocol is highly efficient—80%

throughput—allowing multiple concurrent subscribers to utilize bandwidth

without network degradation (from collisions and high BER).

! WipLL is both an IP router and a PPPoE bridge.

! Supports Transparent bridging for easy implementation of IP addressing

schemes

! WipLL’s IP routing provides efficiency and eliminates the need for additional

hardware.

! Enhanced QoS—based on IP addresses, protocols, and applications.

! End-to-end QoS—based on DiffServ/TOS or 802.1p.

! Embedded security features such as IP (packet) filters based on addresses,

protocols, and applications.

! Rich networking packages such as 802.1Q/p VLANs/VPNs.

1.3.1. Base Station

The WipLL base station provides a radio link between the subscriber and the service

provider's backbone to provide high-speed data access, Internet access, and VoIP.

The WipLL base station equipment consists of a radio transceiver that transmits and

receives signals to and from the subscriber, and of various optional Ethernet hubs

that connect the WipLL transceiver to the service provider’s backbone, through a

100BaseT Ethernet connection.

The WipLL base station is comprised of the following units (see Figure 1-3):

! Base Station Radio (BSR):

The BSR is a radio transceiver that provides the wireless link between the

subscriber and the provider's backbone. Each BSR has 60-degree radio coverage,

serving up to 126 subscribers in that sector.

The BSR is installed outside the base station site, typically mounted on a pole.

! Point-to-Point Radio (PPR):

The PPR device is similar to the BSR, but implemented in a point-to-point radio

configuration providing wireless communication with a single remote WipLL

radio unit (i.e., Subscriber Premises Radio).

Figure 1-2: PPR in a building-to-building application

Introduction Hardware Installation Manual

1-6 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-03

! Subscriber Data Adapter (SDA):

The SDA is implemented at base stations comprised of a single BSR. The SDA

provides the BSR with -48 VDC power supply and Ethernet connectivity to the

provider's backbone. The SDA is installed inside, connected to the BSR with a

CAT-5 cable.

! Base Station Distribution Unit (BSDU):

The BSDU is implemented at base stations comprising multiple BSRs. The

BSDU provides BSRs with –48 VDC power supply, connectivity to the

provider's backbone, and frequency hop synchronization. The BSDU is installed

inside, connected to BSRs with CAT-5 cables.

Each BSDU can support up to six BSRs, and up to four BSDUs can be daisy-

chained to support a maximum of 24 BSRs. Therefore, a base station at

maximum configuration can serve up to 3,024 subscribers.

! Base Station Power Supply (BSPS):

The BSPS is an optional WipLL unit that provides AC-to-DC power conversion

and power redundancy to BSDUs.

! Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna:

The GPS antenna is a rugged, self-contained GPS receiver and antenna that

receives a universal GPS satellite clock signal. The GPS connects to the BSDU

and synchronizes multiple base stations to allow the WipLL network to operate

with the same clock, and eliminating radio frequency ghosting effects.

− SDA-4S (standard): Standard integrated LAN switch, providing four

10/100BaseT interfaces to the subscriber’s computers.

− SDA-4S/VL: Provides VLANs between its ports and the SPR, ensuring

privacy between users of different ports (i.e., multi-tenant VLAN

security). For example, all users connected to Port 1 do not “see” users

connected to Port 2.

− SDA-4S/1H3L: Provides a high priority port (left-most port) for VoIP

traffic.

− SDA-4S/VL/1H3L: Combines the functionality of the SDA-4S/VL and

SDA-4S/1H3L models (VLAN for each port and a high priority port for

VoIP).

! Indoor Radio Adapter (IDR)—optional unit:

The IDR functions as a transceiver and a hub, eliminating the need for an SPR

and SDA. The IDR is installed inside the subscriber's premises, typically

mounted on a wall, desktop, or pole. The IDR is connected to a third-party

antenna, which is typically mounted outside to provide line-of-site with the base

station.

! Residential Gateway (RGW)—optional unit:

The RGW is a third-party unit that provides gateway support for VoIP. The

RGW is typically connected to the SDA through a 10BaseT port.

1.3.3. Network Operations Center

Airspan’s WipLL system provides state-of-the-art, use-friendly management tools

for managing the WipLL system. These management tools provide fault,

configuration, performance, and security management of the WipLL system.

The WipLL system provides two management tools:

! WipManage™--WipLL network (and element) management system tool.

WipManage is a Windows-based, stand-alone WipLL application that provides a

user-friendly Graphic User Interface (GUI) for managing the WipLL system.

WipManage provides local and remote network management that is based on

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). WipManage provides

configuration, fault and alarms, security, and bandwidth management to all the

WipLL units—WipLL base station equipment and WipLL CPE.

! WipConfig™--WipLL initial configuration tool.

WipConfig is an easy-to-use, Windows-based application that provides local

initial configuration to WipLL hardware. This initial configuration includes, for

example, assigning the units IP addresses and positioning the antenna (or

transceiver) for optimal reception.

Introduction Hardware Installation Manual

1.4. Applications

The following subsections provide examples of typical WipLL applications.

1.4.1. Broadband Data Access

Using a standard PSTN modem in circuit-switched networks, subscribers are limited

to 56 Kbps of throughput, and in most cases, to 28.8 Kbps. From the operator's

perspective, once a subscriber has dialed up with a PSTN modem, a full 128 Kbps

channel is occupied for as long as the session lasts.

WipLL subscribers are limited only by their own configuration, with a maximum of

4 Mbps—50 times faster than the fastest PSTN modem. However, subscribers do

not necessarily consume more bandwidth from the operator, since bandwidth is used

only when a data packet is transmitted.

These characteristics of WipLL make it suitable for providing data access to

subscribers while maintaining best usage of bandwidth and capacity.

Hardware Installation Manual Introduction

02030311-03 Airspan Networks Ltd. 1-13

1.4.2. High Speed Internet Access

One of the advantages of WipLL is the fact that subscribers are "always on" Internet.

This means that there is no dialing process and no need for the hassle involved with

dialup access. Subscribers need only to open their Web browser or e-mail to be

instantly connected.

WipLL can also distinguish between applications and subscribers, thus, enabling the

operator to provide different class of service to subscribers. For example, it can

provide different services to Web browsing and e-mail by prioritizing Web browsing

for ensuring best "Internet experience".

Figure 1-6 shows a typical WipLL application for high-speed Internet access.

1.4.3. Voice over IP

The WipLL system enables customers the flexibility of migration from a data-only

network to an integrated Voice-over-IP and data network. The WipLL voice solution

provides interoperability with any IP-to-PSTN network gateway. The use of the IP-

to-PSTN gateway allows operators seamless PSTN connectivity such as SS7

(signaling network), G3-303, and V5.2 over E1, allowing deployment in multi-

national markets.

1.4.4. Repeater Solution

WipLL units can be used to provide repeater functionality. This is implemented in

where the BSR needs to be “extended” to remote subscriber sites that are blocked by

obstacles (such as trees, hills, and other typical line-of-sight obstructions) or that the

BSR-SPR (or BSR-IDR) transmission is out-of-range. Back-to-back Ethernet

connectivity of a BSR with an SPR/IDR provides the repeater capability, as

demonstrated in Figure 1-8.

Figure 1-8: WipLL Repeater Solution

In Figure 1-8, BSR A is part of a WipLL base station that is connected to the service

provider’s backbone. BSR A serves multiple SPRs, marked as SPR Ai. Two SPRs—

SPR B1 and SPR B2—cannot communicate directly with the base station.

Therefore, an SPR acts as a repeater by connecting back-to-back with BSR B (SPR

B1 and B2 are served by BSR B).

Introduction Hardware Installation Manual

1-16 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-03

Notes:

- Careful planning is required to cope with issues such as interferences and

delay that are introduced by the repeater solution. For example, if the system is

used as a frequency hopping system, GPS may be required at each base

station.

- Space and frequency isolation between the “repeater SPR” and BSR B is

required.

- Bandwidth management should be calculated to support the “repeater

bandwidth”.

- IP addressing and routing tables should be configured to support the

repeater solution.

equipment:

! Disconnect all power when installing

! Never install the equipment during stormy weather and lightening

Hardware Installation Manual Safety Guidelines

02030311-03 Airspan Networks Ltd. 2-3

2.2.1. Handling Electrostatic Devices

Electrostatic devices are those devices that may be damaged by the inadvertent

discharge of static electricity from a charged body. The risk of damage, due to

electrostatic discharge (ESD) to a device, may cause the device to fail suddenly, or it

may induce a partial defect within the device, which will cause subsequent

premature failure.

Static electricity can result from operators walking on floors, moving around on

chairs, from the movement of operator's clothing or even casual brushing against

racks, benches or walls.

Airspan recommends the following guidelines to be adopted to minimize the risk of

component failure due to electrostatic discharge to the device:

! WipLL devices are provided typically in see-through anti-static bags. Wherever

possible, checking and inspection of a unit should occur without removing it

from the bag.

! All operators shall wear the approved conductive overall.

! Where operators come into direct contact with any piece of electronic hardware,

operators must wear an ESD bonding wrist strap. All straps and cords should be

tested using a Wrist Strap Tester prior to use.

All operators shall wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and cord to a suitable

non-mains earth (ESD stud) on the rack. The wrist strap cords shall have a 2

Meg Ohm resistor fitted at either end. Wrist straps should be worn in direct

contact with bare skin and not over clothing.

Warning: Under no circumstances is it permissible for units to be handled by

unprotected operators.

Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Manual

2-4 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-03

2.2.2. Grounding

Only certain WipLL devices are required to have additional grounding. The WipLL

devices that do not require additional grounding have grounding at the main supply

outlet.

Site WipLL device Grounding

BSR Through the mains (via BSDU)

BSDU Additional grounding required (grounding lug at

rear end of chassis)

Base Station:

BSPS Additional grounding required (grounding lug at

rear end of chassis)

SPR Through the mains (via SDA) CPE

IDR Through the mains

2.3. Lightening Protection

WipLL devices comply to the Surge Immunity standard: EN 61000-4-5.

WipLL devices are protected from lightening surges by the fact that the outdoor

devices (BSR and SPR devices) are encased in a plastic chassis. Therefore, if

lightening strikes the device, an electrical circuit cannot be completed, and hence, no

electrical surge can occur.

In addition, WipLL outdoor and indoor (SDA) devices provide high speed data line

protection against direct and induced transient over-voltages surges on the cables.

This capability is provided by the fact that all WipLL device are designed with TVS

(transient voltage suppressor) components that maintain potential differences.

However, Airspan Networks can supply a surge protector composed of a 15-pin D-

type adapter with a grounding wire for geographical areas that have above normal

lightening activity.

Hardware Installation Manual Safety Guidelines

02030311-03 Airspan Networks Ltd. 2-5

2.4. Preventing Radio Interference

The digital portion of the transceiver has been tested and found to comply with the

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits

are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a

residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,

may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which

can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try

correct the interference by performing one or more of the following measures:

! Reorientate or relocate the receiving antenna

! Increase separation between the equipment and receiver

! Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected

! Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

Warning: The WipLL transceivers emit microwave radiation; a minimum

distance of 200 mm must be maintained from the front of the device, and a

minimum separation of 1 meter must exists between adjacently installed WipLL

transceivers.

Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Manual

2-6 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-03

2.5. Cabling

This section defines the cabling procedures to be adopted during WipLL equipment

installations at both base station and subscriber premises.

Note: Prior to the commencement of any installation, commissioning work at

‘live’ sites it is the responsibility of the Airspan engineer to advise the

customers representative before any activity commences. If in doubt assume

equipment is ‘live’.

Warning: Disturbance of cables on an In-Service exchange can cause loss o

service. Extreme care must be taken when installing cables at any customer o

subscriber premises.

A summary of issues to be considered during cabling of WipLL base station and

customer premises equipment is as follows:

! Cable routes are to be defined in the site-specific documentation.

! Data and DC power cables running parallel to AC power cables shall be

separated by a minimum distance of 200 mm. However, it is permissible to

allow these cables to cross each other at right angles.

! Observe recommended minimum bend radii when installing copper cables.

Wherever a cable changes direction, ensure that it does so in a smooth curve

with a radius of at least 50mm in order to prevent damage.

! Plastic ties and wraps are to be used to secure cables to trays and guides. Ensure

all trimmed ends are disposed of safely and at regular intervals.

! Data cables of less than 20 pair shall be mixed in bundles not exceeding 50 mm

in diameter.

! Ensure cables are not trapped in cabinet doors, by slide-in equipment or support

metalwork.

! Excessive stress on cable terminations caused by taught cables should be

avoided. Connector strain relief, if not built into the connector used, shall be

provided by means of a strategically located cable tie.

Hardware Installation Manual Safety Guidelines

02030311-03 Airspan Networks Ltd. 2-7

! A maintenance loop or a generous amount of cable slack shall be provided to

allow for equipment removal without disturbance to adjacent cables.

! Cables run in guides or on trays shall be kept as flat as possible and secured at

regular intervals using cable ties.

2.5.1. Cable Labeling

Warning: Voltages over 30 Volts AC and 50 Volts DC are categorized as

hazardous. Hazard warning labels should be fitted where required.

Certain countries require equipment warning and instruction labels to appear in

the local language. When installing WipLL equipment ensure that local

requirements regarding labels are given consideration.

Labels required to be fitted to WipLL equipment are as follows:

2.5.1.1. Voltage Warning Labels

! Where mains power is fed from separate phases, then appropriate warning labels

must be fitted to warn of the increased danger.

! The AC equipment used in the BSPS cabinet must carry a relevant voltage

warning label specific to the country in which it is being installed. The label will

be fitted to the cabinet doors displaying an electrical hazard symbol, the local

operating voltage and the letters ‘AC’.

! A power feed identification label (e.g. PWR ‘A’) shall be applied in the

following locations:

! On the rear of the main power rack adjacent to the terminal block

! Attached to BSPS AC mains power plug or lead

! Attached to the customer mains power socket or distribution rail

! On the BSPS power circuit connection at the fuse board

4.1. Overview

The BSR is the center of the WipLL system. The BSR provides last-mile wireless

connectivity by connecting the customer’s backhaul network to the subscriber’s

wireless unit (Subscriber Premises Radio [SPR]). In addition, the BSR is responsible

for synchronizing the WipLL network (i.e., synchronizing SPRs/IDRs).

For base stations consisting of only a single BSR, the BSR is typically powered and

connected to the customer’s backhaul by the WipLL Subscriber Data Adapter

(SDA). For base stations consisting of multiple BSRs, the BSRs are powered and

connected to the customer’s backhaul by the WipLL Base Station Distribution Unit

(BSDU).

The BSR is available in two models: BSR with an internal antenna providing 60°

sector coverage; and a BSR with an N-type port for connection to an optional third-

party external antenna.

Hardware Installation Manual Installing the BSR

Note: The BSR’s physical dimensions exclude the mounting kit.

4.3. Cable Installation Guidelines

This section defines the procedures to be adhered to when installing data cables at

the base station.

Warning: Pre-terminated cables should be fitted with protective poly bags

during cable installation processes.

Metal cable trays shall be earthed to a central earth point within the customers’

equipment room.

Note: A minimum separation of 200 mm should exist between power and data

cables.

The following points are to be considered:

! When installing network cables, ensure that they are not damaged by friction or

sharp edges. Spacing of installation personnel at regular distances during any

cable drawing-in process will avoid contact with potential hazards.

! Data cables providing connection to the customers network shall be run in

suitable conduit or trunking. Cable trunking should be secured to the wall in

accordance with manufacturers instructions.

Hardware Installation Manual Installing the BSR

02030311-03 Airspan Networks Ltd. 4-5

! Cables should be carefully fed through trunking and not pulled by means of any

attached connector.

! Sufficient space should be provided in cable ducts, trunking or trays (where

possible) to allow for future cabling growth.

! External data cables are to be protected in protective conduit which is to be

secured to the building structure in accordance with manufacturers

recommendations. Trunking must not be located as to provide a trip hazard at the

base station premises (e.g. roof walkways)

! BSR cables are to be dressed tidily to the mounting pole or bracket using

strategically placed cable ties.

! Observe recommended minimum bend radii when installing copper cables.

Wherever a cable changes direction, ensure that it does so in a smooth curve

with a radius of at least 50mm in order to prevent damage.

! A maintenance loop is to be left in the cable just before the cable reaches the

BSR or GPS to prevent strain on the connector.

! Data cables entering holes drilled in walls are to be dressed to provide a loop that

will prevent water ingress into the building along the cable.

! Silicone sealant should be used to plug any holes on both internal and external

wall surfaces once cables are in place.

! All data cables should be labeled with both the source and destination at each

end.

Note: The maximum cable length between the BSR and terminating equipment

is 100 meters.

4.4. Connecting the BSR for Serial

Configuration

The BSR’s 15-pin D-type port provides serial interface to a PC for BSR initial

configuration. This port uses 9 of its 15 pins for serial interface; the remaining pins

are used for interfacing with the BSDU or SDA with which the BSR is connected.

To connect the BSR to the PC and the SDA or BSDU, a Y-cable is used.

Note: For performing BSR initial configuration using WipLL’s management

5.3.7. Connecting Cables for BSDU Network IP

Management

For network (IP) configurations, you can connect the PC to the BSDU’s local port,

or remotely (from anywhere) if you have IP connectivity to the device. For PC-to-

BSDU local network (IP) connections you need to connect the PC to the BSDU’s

10BaseT or 100BaseT port. The BSDU’s front panel provides two 10Base-T ports:

left is labeled 10Base-T 1; right is labeled 10Base-T 2. Port 1 provides PC

management interface to all BSRs connected to the BSDU. Port 2 provides

management interface only to the BSDU. If you connect the BSDU’s two 10BaseT

ports (i.e., loop the ports) to one another by a crossover cable, then you can connect

the PC to one of the BSDU’s 100BaseT ports. If the two BSDU 10BaseT ports are

not connected to one another, then you need to connect the PC to the BSDU’s right-

most 10BaseT port (labeled 10Base-T 2).

Note: For WipLL management, it is recommended to connect Port 1 to Port 2

by a cross-over cable, and then connect the management station (PC) to one

of the 100Base-T ports. In such a setup, you can provide management to all

daisy-chained BSDUs and their associated BSRs through one 100Base-T port.

7-2 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-03

The BSPS provides the BSDUs/BSRs with the following:

! Power supply of –48 VDC to BSDUs/BSRs

! Power redundancy in case of power failure. The BSPS charges a battery bank

that provides this power redundancy during mains failure. Thus, the BSPS acts

as a DC-UPS with a battery connected to it. The size of the battery determines

the backup and charging time. Since the system is current limited, the maximum

battery size is based on that limit.)

! Remote management and monitoring through WipLL’s WipManage or

WipConfig management application.

The BSPS is delivered pre-installed in an Airspan cabinet. The only installation that

is required includes the following:

! BSPS battery

! BSPS temperature sensor to measure battery temperature

! Connecting the BSPS to the BSDU

7.1. General Site Requirements

Note: Cable sizes and electrical circuit protection devices discussed in the

following section are typical for 230 Volt AC circuits only. Adjustments are

required for applications other than this.

During AC power installation activities at base station premises the following

general requirements should be adhered to:

! The customer must provide a valid safety certificate for the electrical circuit to

which the equipment is to be connected. If this documentation is not available

checks must be carried out in accordance with local electrical installation test

requirements.

! A qualified electrician must carry out the provision of any additional power

outlets.

Hardware Installation Manual Installing the BSPS

02030311-03 Airspan Networks Ltd. 7-3

7.2. BSPS Components

The BSPS consists of the following basic components:

! DC Rectifier modules: The Rectifier converts the AC current to DC. The BSPS

can house up to four rectifiers. The rectifiers are “hot plugged” and operate in

parallel. This enables the user to define an “N+1”or “N+2”redundant system.

Each rectifier has its own current sharing system, satisfying a complete sharing

among rectifiers.

! System controller

! Electronic Low Voltage Detector (ELVD): The LVD disconnects the battery

from the load, avoiding damage to the battery when over-discharged.

! Battery

! Load and battery circuit breakers for DC protection and distribution

! DC Distribution unit: The DC Distribution unit provides circuit breakers for

distributing the output current to multiple BSDUs.

The unit also contains a bypass switch to bypass the LVD.

Note: For power redundancy, at least two rectifiers must be installed.

The main power rack is housed in a 19” (inches) front mountable chassis.

Figure 7-2 displays the BSPS main components.

! Data cables terminating at the front of the BSDU’s should be fed through the

brush gland fitted adjacent to the units and secured to the cable management bar

using tie-wraps.

! When cabling the BSPS cabinet consideration should be given to future growth

and expansion. Allowances in cable forms should be made for the removal of

equipment for maintenance, i.e., BSDU’s, Power racks etc.

! Where cables are installed but not connected to equipment they should be tied

off in such a way as to prevent damage, allow for future growth and

maintenance. Pre-terminated cables should be treated with care and should not

be laid out in vulnerable areas where they may be susceptible to damage.

! Cable crossovers should be kept to a minimum to prevent system interference

and allow easy equipment removal.

! Ensure that the cables are dressed in such a fashion that they are not exposed to

hot exhaust air, sharp edges, doors etc.

! Observe recommended minimum bend radii when installing copper cables.

Wherever a cable changes direction, ensure that it does so in a smooth curve

with a radius of at least 50mm in order to prevent damage.

! Cables shall be secured directly to cabinet cable trays with plastic cable ties.

Secure the data and power cables at regular intervals within the cabinet to the

cable management trays/trunking provided using cable ties. These ties should be

tensioned and cut using the supplied tool 1PAC10370ACK.

! Care is to be taken to ensure that cables providing connection to peripheral

equipment (e.g. PC’s) do not pose a trip hazard.

! WipLL system interface cables providing connection to a network shall be

terminated and presented to a digital distribution frame (DDF) as agreed with the

customer. Dressing of cables at the DDF shall be done to ensure a potential trip

hazard is not created.

Hardware Installation Manual Installing the BSPS

02030311-03 Airspan Networks Ltd. 7-25

8.1. Overview

The SPR receives and transmits data from and to the base station. The SPR connects

to the subscriber’s network through the SDA. The SDA is an Ethernet hub/LAN

switch that provides the SPR with DC power, lightening protection, and Ethernet

connectivity to the subscriber’s PCs/network. The SPR connects to the SDA by a

CAT-5e cable.

The SDA provides 10/100BaseT connectivity (depending on the SDA model) to the

subscriber’s PCs or network (up to four PCs depending on SDA model).

The SPR is typically mounted on the subscriber's roof or external wall The SDA is

located inside the subscriber's premises.

The SPR is available in three models:

! SPR with Standard Gain: includes a built-in antenna 15/16-dBi antenna gain,

covering an area of 23 degrees

! SPR with High-Gain Antenna: includes a built-in antenna with an 18-dBi

antenna gain, covering 15 degrees.

! SPR with external antenna: includes an N-type connector port for attaching a

third-party external antenna.

Figure 8-1 displays a typical setup of the SPR and SDA at the subscriber's premises.

Note: The SDA can also be installed at a base station that has only one BSR.

This SDA replaces the need for the BSDU, and provides power and

connectivity to the single BSR.

The following lists cable installation guidelines at the subscriber's premises:

! To prevent tripping, wiring channel is to be provided at the subscriber's premises

to house data cables. Wiring channel type, location, and methods of securing are

to be discussed with the subscriber.

! Cables not housed in wiring channel must be dressed in a manner to avoid a trip

hazard. Avoid trailing wires across passageways.

! External data cables are to be protected in metal conduit that is to be secured to

the building structure in accordance with manufacturers recommendations.

! Outside wiring channels must not be located as to cause a trip hazard (e.g. roof

walkways)

! Observe recommended minimum bend radii when installing copper cables.

Wherever a cable changes direction, ensure that it does so in a smooth curve

with a radius of at least 50 mm in order to prevent damage.

Installing the SPR Hardware Installation Manual

8-6 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-03

! A maintenance loop is to be left in the cable just before the cable reaches the

SPR to prevent strain on the connector.

! Data cables threaded into holes drilled in walls are to be covered by a waterproof

sheath to prevent water penetration.

! Silicone sealant should be used to plug any holes on both internal and external

wall surfaces once cables are in place.

! All data cables should be labeled with both the source and destination at each

end.. Un-used cable ends must also be identified with labels to assist with future

upgrades.

Warning: Cables with exposed ends (i.e., not yet crimped) should be covered

with protective polythene bags during external cable installation processes.

Note: A minimum separation of 200 mm should exist between power and data

cables.

9.1. Overview

The SDA is an Ethernet hub/LAN switch that provides the SPR with DC power,

lightening protection, and Ethernet connectivity to the subscriber’s PCs/network.

The SDA connects to the SPR by a CAT-5e cable.

The SDA provides 10/100BaseT connectivity (depending on the SDA model) to the

subscriber’s PCs or network (up to four PCs depending on the SDA model).

The SDA is located inside the subscriber's premises, typically mounted on a wall or

simply placed on a desktop.

The SDA is available in six models:

! SDA-1: This is a hub that provides one 10BaseT interface (RJ-45 port) with the

subscriber’s PC and/or network (via a hub or LAN switch).

! SDA-4H: This is a hub and provides four 10BaseT ports for interfacing with the

subscriber’s PCs/network. In addition, one of the 10BaseT ports provides

crossover configuration for crossover-cable connection for interfacing with, for

example, other hubs.

! SDA-4S models: Integrated LAN switches, providing four 10/100BaseT

interfaces with the subscriber’s PCs/network.

! (standard): Standard integrated LAN switch, providing four 10/100BaseT

interfaces to the subscriber’s computers.

! SDA-4S/VL: Provides VLANs between its ports and the SPR, ensuring

privacy between users of different ports (i.e., multi-tenant VLAN security).

For example, all users connected to Port 1 do not “see” users connected to

Port 2.

! SDA-4S/1H3L: Provides a high priority port (left-most port) for VoIP

traffic.

! SDA-4S/VL/1H3L: Combines the functionality of the SDA-4S/VL and

SDA-4S/1H3L models (VLAN for each port and a high priority port for

VoIP).

Airspan recommends the following tools for stripping and crimping for 15-Pin D-

type connectors:

! Crimping tool—hand-crimper code DW115394-1. The crimper is a cyclic

crimper and will not release the cable until a full termination cycle has been

completed. The tool automatically indexes to the next pin on completion of the

terminating cycle.(See Figure B-1.)

Cable crimping is performed in two stages:

1. Stripping the cable

2. Crimping the cable

B.1.1. Stripping the Cable

Before crimping the cables, you need to strip 50 mm of the cable.

Before using the tool, ensure that the tool is correctly adjusted. Correct adjustment is

obtained when the blade cuts the outer insulation without damage to the insulation of

inner conductors.

To strip the cable:

1. Cut the cable to length using cable shears (Airspan code 1PAC10333AKJ).

2. Strip 50 mm of the sheathing using stripping tool.

3. Insert the cable in the jaws of the cutting tool by squeezing the handles together.

4. Rotate 10 times, release the tool, and remove the cable and insulation.

Cable Crimping Hardware Installation Manual

B-4 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-03

5. Use a steel rule (1PAC10042AAV) to verify the stripped dimension.

6. Inspect the cut for evidence of damage, i.e. has the braid been cut? If so cut off

cable and reset tool.

B.1.2. Crimping the Cable

Once you have stripped 50 mm of the cable, you can begin crimping the cable to the

15-Pin D-type connector.

Note: For 15-Pin D-type connector pinouts, see the relevant chapter on the

specific WipLL equipment.

To crimp the cable:

1. Insert the 15-Pin D-type connector into the left slot of the crimper until the

desired connector pin position aligns with the slot.

2. Insert the wire into the left side of the crimper slot until the end enters the hole.

3. Adjust the desired length of the wire.

4. Centre the wire in the slot.

5. Squeeze the crimper handles until the wire inserter bottoms out.

6. Release the crimper handles—the inserter retracts and the connector advances to

the next pin position.

7. Repeat the above until all pin contacts of the row have been terminated.

Figure B-3: Crimping tool

8. When finished, remove the connector from the right side of connector slot.

Note: The connector must be inserted into the crimper from the left hand side

only.

Should the connector jam in the terminating position, excessive force must not

be used: the spigot between the tool handles should be used to release the

ratchet mechanism.

The crimper handle will not allow release until a full termination cycle of the

connector has been completed.

B.1.3. Inspecting the Crimped Connector

Each crimped connector is to be tested that it has been correctly crimped:

! Ensure that the wire extends beyond the front pin contact slot by a minimum of

0.5 mm

! Ensure that the two legs of the insulation crimp barrel are closed to secure the

insulation of the wire

Cable Crimping Hardware Installation Manual

B-6 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-03

Note: The purpose of the barrel is to prevent the wire from being lifted from

the contact. It is not necessary to have the barrel wrapped tightly around the

insulation.

! Ensure that the contact cavity has not been deformed

! Confirm integrity by holding the connector in one hand and pulling lightly on

the cable.

Figure B-4 shows points to be observed during quality inspection.

B.1.4. Housing the Connector

For outdoor cable installations, the connector is to be protected in a waterproof

housing assembly as shown in Figure B-5.

Note: The housing, cable seal, and clamping nut are to be slid onto the cable

prior to crimping the connector in place.

To assemble the connector in a waterproof housing:

1. Insert the connector into the waterproof housing ensuring that a "click" is heard.

2. Screw the cable seal into place ensuring that the cable outer sheath is inside the

connector body.

3. Secure the cable in place with the lock nut.

Cable Crimping Hardware Installation Manual

B-8 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-03

To assemble the un-housed connector:

1. Insert the connector terminal block into the connector body.

2. Secure the cable onto the connector body using the cable clamp. Ensure that the

cable outer sheath is within the connector body.

3. Snap the top section of the connector body into place.

4. Ensure that the connector is secure within the housing by applying a light pull on

the cable.

B.2. Crimping N-type Connectors

This section describes the cable stripping and crimping Multipair Overall Shielded

(22 AWG) cables for N-type connectors used for BSR/SPR connections to external

antennas.

Airspan recommends using the following tools for crimping of N-type connectors:

! Crimp tool: Erma 29020 with die set 29207.

! Stripping tool: Maxi Corex, fitted with the 9.0 to 11.5mm cable clamp (blue)

and the 9.5 to 3.2 blade cassette (green).

B.2.1. Stripping the Cable

To strip the cable:

1. The first cut should be set to cut through the outer sheath, braid and dielectric.

Scoring of the centre conductor should not occur.

2. The second cut should be set to cut through the outer sheath and the braid.

Important attention must be paid to the dielectric where it meets the braid. It is

preferable that no cutting of the dielectric takes place, however, because of the

construction of cables and tolerance build up there may be occasion where a

slight cutting of the dielectric is unavoidable. This must be kept to an absolute

minimum. This has been termed the compromise cut and is acceptable practice.

Hardware Installation Manual Cable Crimping

02030311-03 Airspan Networks Ltd. B-9

3. The final cut should be set to cut through the outer sheath only. Scoring of the

braid should not occur.

4. All sections of the stripped Ethernet cable should be easily removed if the blade

settings are correct. To adjust the blade settings use the allen key provided and

apply it to the grub screws at the back of the stripping tool. Clockwise will

increase blade depth, anti-clockwise will reduce blade depth.

5. Set stripping tool slide mechanism to 5.

6. Place the cable into the stripping tool with approximately 12 mm protruding

from the end of the tool.

7. Clamp the tool around the cable and lock in position.

8. Holding the cable in the left hand and stripping tool in the right hand (index

finger through finger hole) rotate tool in a clockwise direction for 10 turns.

9. Move slide mechanism to number 3.

10. Rotate tool in a clockwise direction for 10 turns.

11. Move slide mechanism to number 1.

12. Rotate tool in a clockwise direction for 10 turns.

13. Unlock the tool to remove cable then lock shut. Always keep the stripping tool

locked shut when not in use. Take care when handling the blade insert.

14. Twist off stripped cable sections.

B.2.2. Assembling the Connector

Once you have stripped the cable, you can house the cable:

To house the cable:

1. Fit an insulating boot if required, over the cable, cutting enough of the pointed

end to enable the cable to go through the resulting hole with a fairly tight grip.

Push ferrule over the stripped section of cable.

2. Rotate the centre conductor in relation to the cable to splay the braid and any foil

from the dielectric, which will allow the later correct fitting of the connector

body (over the dielectric). See Figure B-6.Take care not to damage the braid.

Figure B-6: Rotating conductor

Hardware Installation Manual Cable Crimping

02030311-03 Airspan Networks Ltd. B-11

3. Trim the centre conductor back to 5.5 mm from the end of the dielectric. Use the

cable shears provided and not the side cutters.

4. Fit centre pin on to the centre conductor. The centre conductor should be seen

through the inspection hole (see Figure B-7). Ensure that the shoulder of the pin

is butted up to the cable’s dielectric.

Figure B-7: Fitting center pin onto center conductor

B.2.3. Crimping

To crimp the GPS connector:

1. Using an Erma tool and 29207 die, small aperture, crimp centre pin to centre

conductor. The crimp section should be just be below the inspection hole (see

Figure B-7). Do not crimp the shouldered section as it will cause flashing.

2. Fit the connector body over the centre pin and between the braid and dielectric

(see Figure B-6). Do not trap any of the braid between the dielectric and back

face of the connector body. If the connector is supplied with a nylon washer, fit

this to the rear of the connector before application to the cable.

3. Push the connector body firmly home. The centre pin should align with the end

of the internal diameter of the connector body.

4. Push the ferrule up to the end of the cable, covering the braid. There should be

no braid showing between the end of the ferrule and the connector body.

Rotating the ferrule may rectify this, if not trim the braid slightly to suit.

Cable Crimping Hardware Installation Manual

B-12 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-03

5. Crimp the ferrule using the large aperture of the 29207 die. When offering up the

tool the die should be positioned so as it aligns with the braid and not the outer

sheath of the cable.

6. Connectors with nylon washers, the crimp is to be made with the dies held

firmly against the washers face.

B.3. Crimping GPS Cable Connectors

Airspan recommends the following tools for crimping for N-type connectors:

! Crimping tool—Daniels AFM8 (M22520/2-01).

Figure B-8: Crimping tool – Daniels AFM8

Once you have housed the stripped cable, you can now crimp the cable to an N-type

connector.

Note: The crimper cannot be opened without completing the cycle.

To crimp the cable:

1. Ensure that the crimper is in the open position.

2. Remove safety clip from positioner guide.

Hardware Installation Manual Cable Crimping

02030311-03 Airspan Networks Ltd. B-13

3. Select the Positioner for contact to be crimped.

4. Insert the Positioner into the positioner guide and turn it 90 degrees until bayonet

pins lock.

5. Raise and rotate the Selector knob until the number indicated on data plate for

cable size to be crimped is in line with Sel. No. arrow.

6. Insert the contact and prepared cable into the indenter opening from the side

opposite the Positioner.

7. Squeeze crimper handles together until the ratchet releases. The handle will

return to the open position.

8. Remove crimped contact and cable.
