Introduction
Airspan’s AS WipLL system (hereafter referred to as WipLL) is a low-cost, highperformance 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-tomarket 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
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).

Introduction
Hardware Installation Manual
! 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 daisychained 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.

1.3.2. Subscriber Site
The WipLL subscriber site is located at the service provider's subscribers’ premises.
The WipLL subscriber site equipment consists of a radio transceiver that receives
and transmits signals from and to the base station. The WipLL radio transceiver
provides the subscriber with high-speed data access, Internet access, and VoIP at up
to 3.2 Mbps. The WipLL transceiver connects to the subscriber’s network or PC via
WipLL’s Ethernet hub (i.e., Subscriber Data Adapter).
The WipLL system can group subscribers into VLANs, as well as assign MIR and
CIR levels to each subscriber, guaranteeing bandwidth to subscribers.
The WipLL subscriber site is comprised of the following units:
! Subscriber Premises Radio (SPR):
The SPR is a radio transceiver that provides a wireless link between the base
station and the subscriber’s network. The SPR is installed outside the
subscriber's premises, typically on a roof.
! Subscriber Data Adapter (SDA):
The SDA is a hub/switch that provides the SPR with -48 VDC power supply and
Ethernet connectivity to the subscriber’s network/PC. The SDA is installed
inside the subscriber's premises and is connected to the SPR by a CAT-5 cable.
The SDA models include the following:

Introduction
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.

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.

Introduction
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".

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 IPto-PSTN gateway allows operators seamless PSTN connectivity such as SS7
(signaling network), G3-303, and V5.2 over E1, allowing deployment in multinational markets.

Introduction
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
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.

Safety Guidelines
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.

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 Dtype adapter with a grounding wire for geographical areas that have above normal
lightening activity.

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.

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

Safety Guidelines
! 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

Hardware Installation Manual
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 thirdparty external antenna.

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.

Airspan Networks Ltd.
02030311-03
Hardw are Installation Manual
Installing the BSR
! 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
applications, refer to WipConfig User’s Guide and WipConfig PDA User’s
Guide.
The BSR-to-PC management station serial cable connections include the following
! Connectors:
BSR: 15-pin D-type male (only 9-pins used)
PC: 9-pin D-type (RS-232)
SDA/BSDU: 15-pin D-type male

The BSDU’s front panel provides a 9-Pin DB-type port for serial RS-232 power
management of the BSPS. WipLL’s WipManage manages BSPS by connecting to
the BSDU through the IP network (i.e., from the BSR), and then manages BSPS
through the serial connection between the BSDU and BSPS. The reason for the
serial connection is that the BSPS does not support SNMP-based management,
which is the bases of WipManage.

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-toBSDU 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 rightmost 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.

Installing the BSPS
Hardware Installation Manual
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.

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.

7.5. BSPS Cabinet Cabling
This section defines the procedures to be adhered to when installing data cables in
the BSPS cabinet.
Note: A minimum separation of 200 mm should exist between power and data
cables.
! Cable access apertures are located in the top surface of the cabinet. Separate
apertures are provided for power and data cables. All cabling entering and
exiting the BSPS cabinet shall be protected using flexible conduit and gland
systems suited to the cabinet. Power and data cables should exit from the BSPS
cabinet via separate apertures.
! Data cables are to be secured to cable guides provided on the left-hand side of
the cabinet when viewed from the rear. Cables are to be brought together to a

Airspan Networks Ltd.
7-23
Installing the BSPS
Hardware Installation Manual
point on the cable guide from where they can be fanned out and fed to the Base
station Distribution Units (BSDU’s).
! 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.

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.

8.6. Connecting to a PC for Initial Serial
Configuration
To configure an SPR, you need to connect a PC running the WipLL network
management system (WipConfig) to the SPR. The SPR’s 15-pin D-type port
provides serial interface to a PC for SPR initial configuration. This port uses 9 of its
15 pins for serial interface; the remaining pins are used for interfacing with the SDA
with which the SPR remains connected. To connect the SPR to the management
station (i.e., PC) and the SDA, a Y-cable (splitter) is used.
Note: SPR configuration is performed while the SDA is connected to the SPR.
The SPR-to-PC and SDA cable connections for SPR serial configuration are as
follows:
! Connectors:
SPR: 15-pin D-type male (only 9-pins used)
PC: 9-pin D-type (RS-232)

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.
9-2
(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).

Installing and Configuring
the IDR
This chapter describes the installation of the WipLL Indoor Data Radio (IDR) that
is installed at the subscriber's premises. The IDR unit is an optional WipLL unit that
replaces the SPR and SDA units, and combines the functionalities of the SPR and
SDA.
The IDR has a built-in antenna that provides an interface for transmission with the
base station, as well as an interface for 10Base-T Ethernet for the subscriber's
network. However, unlike the SDA, a separate power supply unit powers the IDR.
The IDR is available in two models: a model with an internal antenna, and a model
with a TNC connector for a third-party external antenna.

Cable Crimping
This chapter describes the procedure for crimping cables for 15-Pin D-type and Ntype connectors that are used in BSR/SPR-to-BSDU/SDA and BSR-to-GPS
connections, respectively. The opposite ends of these cables are un-terminated,
thereby providing length flexibility for connecting these WipLL units.
Crimping procedures are described for the following cable-connector terminations:
! CAT-5e/15-Pin
connections
D-type
cable/connector
terminations
for
SPR-to-SDA
! Multipair Overall Shielded (22 AWG)/N-type cable/connector terminations
for GPS antenna connections.
! GPS antenna connector
Warning: Correct crimping of network cables is crucial for ensuring service
integrity.
B.1. Crimping CAT-5e/15-Pin D-Type Cable
Connectors
This section describes the cable stripping and crimping of CAT-5e cables for 15-Pin
D-type connectors used for BSR/SPR-to-BSDU/SDA connections.
Airspan recommends the "ITT Canon DB15" (code number ‘DAW15P’) subminiature type. This connector is an Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC)
which crimps and secures the cable at the connection point.

Cable Crimping
Hardware Installation Manual
Airspan recommends the following tools for stripping and crimping for 15-Pin Dtype 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.)

Figure B-2: Stripping Tool 1PAC10349 AKM
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.
02030311-03
Airspan Networks Ltd.
B-3
Cable Crimping
Hardware Installation Manual
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.

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
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.

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.

Airspan Networks Ltd.
02030311-03
Hardw are Installation Manual
Cable Crimping
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

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
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.

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.
