5.9. Connecting to BSPS for Power
Management
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 basis of WipManage.

5.11. Connecting to PC for 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 crossover cable, and then connect the management station (PC) to one o
f
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.

7.1. Overview
The WipLL Base Station Power Supply unit (BSPS) is an optional WipLL unit that
provides power (and power redundancy) to the BSDU/BSR if no –48 VDC power
supply exists at the base station.
The BSPS front panel is displayed in Figure 7-1.
Figure 7-1: BSPS front panel
The BSPS provides the BSDUs/BSRs with the following:
! Power supply of –48 VDC
! 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.)
Hardware Installation Guide Installing the BSPS
02030311-05 Airspan Networks Ltd. 7-3
! 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:
! Installing the BSPS battery
! Connecting the BSPS temperature sensor to measure battery temperature
! Connecting the BSPS to the BSDU
7.1.1. 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: provides BSPS management control and BSPS operating
information
! Electronic Low Voltage Detector (ELVD): disconnects the battery from the
load, avoiding damage to the battery when over-discharged.
! Battery: provides the BSPS system with back-up power
! Load and battery circuit breakers for DC protection and distribution
! 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.

7.1.2. 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.
! Cables used in the customer premises electrical circuit are to be 3-core 6mm2.
Color-coding for live neutral and earth conductors shall be in accordance with
local electrical regulations.
! The base station premises AC distribution panel must be capable of supplying up
to 240 Volts AC.
! The customer is to allocate and clearly identify fuses in AC distribution panel
that will provide protection for equipment in BSPS cabinet. The circuit is to be
protected by a 32 amp protective device in accordance with local standards.
! The customer shall provide a wall mounted AC power socket adjacent to the
BSPS cabinet. Local territory equipment isolation and earth leakage
requirements are to be met when selecting the plug and socket type.
Alternatively a 32-amp isolator switch may be used for connection to the mains
power supply.
! A common earth point (CEP) shall be designated in the customers’ base station
premises to which the system cabinet earth will be connected.
! A minimum separation distance of 200 mm is to be maintained between AC and
DC signaling cables when they run parallel to each other. However these cables
may cross each other at right angles.
Hardware Installation Guide Installing the BSPS
02030311-05 Airspan Networks Ltd. 7-7
7.1.3. 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
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.
Installing the BSPS Hardware Installation Guide
7-8 Airspan Networks Ltd. 02030311-05
! 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.
! 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.

7.3. Installing BSPS Batteries
To provide the BSPS system with back-up power, two battery circuits are provided.
Batteries are located on two shelves fitted in the lower sections of the system
cabinet.
A battery protection tray is to be fitted beneath the BSPS racks to prevent tools from
falling onto batteries below.
Warnings:
1) Final battery connection, at the DC distribution rack, must only be made
once the battery is fully installed.
2) The Airspan insulated torque wrench 1PAC10383 AAD must be used when
attaching battery terminations. The wrench is pre-set to ‘break’ at 5.5 Nm
(Newton-meters).
3) Caution must be observed when fitting and connecting batteries as to
prevent the shorting of connections to the cabinet structure.
Insulated tools and the removal of jewellery are mandatory in all live power
installations.
To install the BSPS battery:
1. Prior to installation use a digital multimeter (DMM) to measure the voltage
output from each monobloc. A reading of 12.3 Volts DC is required from each
monobloc.
2. Install the monoblocs onto the battery trays as shown in Figure 7-6.
