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 (depending on SDA model) that provides the SPR with DC power, lightening

protection, and Ethernet (10Base-T and/or 100Base-T )connectivity to the

subscriber’s PCs/network (up to four PCs depending on SDA model). The SPR

connects to the SDA by a CAT-5 cable.

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

installed inside the subscriber's premises.

The SPR is available in the following models:

! SPR with Standard Gain: includes a built-in antenna 15-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.

Warning: As the system emits microwave radiation, a minimum distance o

200 mm must be maintained from the front of the SPR.

To avoid electrical or fire hazard, connect the SPR to the power supply only

after mounting the SPR and connecting data cables between the SPA and

SDA units.

Note: Usually, the SPR is initialized (i.e., configured with an IP address) at

Airspan's factory. However, if the SPR has not been configured, see Section

8.7, “Connecting to a PC for Serial Configuration”, before mounting the SPR.

8.3. Cable Guidelines

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

! To prevent tripping, a wiring duct 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.

! 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.

8.5. Connecting a Third-Party External Antenna

(Optional)

The SPR model with an N-type connector can be connected to an external antenna.

The addition of an external antenna allows greater RF sector coverage than the

standard SPR internal antenna models (i.e., 60°).

! Connector: N-type male

Figure 8-12: Example of an N-type connector

! Cable: RF coaxial

Warnings:

1) Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the SPR is NOT

connected to the power source.

2) Before powering on the SPR, ensure that some type of equiment such as

an antenna or an RF attenuator is connected to the N-type receptacle. This

eliminates the risk of burning the SPR device.

3) It is the responsibility of the person installing the WipLL system to ensure

that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC

rules apply), that only those antennas certified with the product are used. The

use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly

forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer

should configure the output power level of antennas according to country

regulations and per antenna type

Notes:

- Pins 9 through 15 of the 15-pin D-type connector are not used.

- The wire color-coding described in the table is WipLL's standard for wire

color-coding. However, if you implement your company's wire color-coding

scheme, ensure that the wires are paired and twisted according to the pin

functions listed in Table 8-2 (e.g., Rx+ with Rx-).

WipLL uses the following wire color-coding standards for CAT 5 cables with 15-pin

D-type to 15-pin D-type connectors on either ends (8 wires used):

Figure 8-14: WipLL wire color-coding for 15-pin D-type connectors

Hardware Installation Guide Installing the SPR

02030311-05 Airspan Networks Ltd. 8-19

Notes:

1) The wires are twisted together in pairs, for example, blue/white with blue,

and orange/white with orange. This prevents electrical interference between

the transmitter pins. For example, pin 3 (Tx+; orange / white) is paired and

twisted with pin 4 (Tx-; orange).

2) The SDA connector pinouts are the same for all SDA models (SDA-1, SDA-

4H, SDA-4S, SDA-4S/VL, SDA-4S/Vltag, SDA-4S/1H3L, and SDA-

4S/VL/1H3L).

Warning: To avoid electrical shock, before connecting the SPR to the SDA,

ensure that the SDA is not connected to the power supply.

To connect the SPR to the SDA:

1. Attach the 15-pin D-type connector, at one end of the cable, to the SPR’s 15-pin

D-type port labeled DATA POWER SYNC, as displayed in Figure 8-15.

2. Attach the 15-pin D-type connector, at the other end of the cable, to the SDA’s

15-pin D-type port, as displayed in Figure 8-15.

8.7. Connecting to a PC for 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)

8.8. Connecting the RSS LED Adapter

The WipLL RSS LED adapter indicates the received signal strength (RSS) between

the SPR and the BSR. This allows you to accurately position the SPR during

installation for optimal radio frequency signal reception. The RSS LED adapter is

connected between the SPR and SDA CAT 5 cable connection. The RSS LED

adapter provides two 15-pin D-type ports: one for the SPR side; and the other for the

SDA side. The RSS LED adapter can be connected in one of the following manners:

! The RSS LED adapter 15-pin D-type port connects directly to the SPR’s 15-pin

D-type port; while the other RSS LED adapter’s 15-pin D-type port connects to

the SDA via the CAT 5 cable.

-Or-

! Both 15-pin D-type ports of the RSS LED adapter connect to the SPR and SDA

via a CAT 5 cable on either side.

The following describes the connectors, cable, and connector pinouts:

8.9. Connecting Power

The SPR receives, through its 15-pin D-type port, its power supply from the SDA.

In turn, the SDA connects to an external power adapter from where it receives

power. The SDA provides 48 VDC nominal power to the SPR (minimum of 30

VDC: maximum of 55 VDC).

Warning: If you are using an external antenna, ensure that you connect the

antenna before connecting the SPR to the power source.

Note: For a description of the procedure for connecting power to the SDA, see

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-5 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. The ports of the SDA-4S models

support Auto Negotiation, allowing automatic configuration for the highest

possible speed link: 10BaseT or 100BaseT, and Full Duplex or Half Duplex

mode. In other words, the speed of the connected device (PC) determines the

speed at which packets are transmitted through the specific port. For example, if

the device (i.e, PC) to which the port is connected is running at 100 Mbps, the

port connection will transmit packets at 100 Mbps. If the device (i.e, PC) to

which the port is connected is running at 10 Mbps, the port connection will

transmit packets at 10 Mbps. In addition, the SDA-4S ports support MDI/MDI-

X automatic crossover, allowing connection to straight-through or crossover

CAT-5 cables

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

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

Hardware Installation Guide Installing the SDA

02030311-05 Airspan Networks Ltd. 9-3

! 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/VLtag: This model is ideal for multi-tenant applications where

traffic engineering and privacy is required. SDA-4S/VLtag assigns the traffic

from each of its four ports with a different VLAN ID. The VLAN IDs are

fixed (since SDA-4S/VLtag is not user configurable). SPR converts the four

VLAN IDs tagged by SDA-4S/VLtag to four VLAN IDs configured via

WipLL’s NMS. The tag conversion is performed by SPR before sending the

traffic to the air and the other way around when coming from the air.

! 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).

Figure 9-1 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
