multipoint frequency hopping- and IP-based broadband wireless access (BWA)
solution. ASWipLL provides wireless local-loop (last-mile) connectivity designed to
deliver high-speed data, Voice over IP (VoIP), and multimedia services to
residential, SOHO, and small to medium enterprises. Delivering "always-on", high-
speed Internet access and traditional voice services, ASWipLL offers service
providers an integrated, scalable access solution providing quick-to-market
deployment and low-market entry cost for broadband services.
Figure 1-1: Typical ASWipLL applications
ASWipLL operates in both the licensed bands and unlicensed bands.
Each ASWipLL Base Station can support thousands of subscribers, providing each
sector with high connectivity speeds of up to 4 Mbps. ASWipLL utilizes air protocol
technology for wireless packet switching using Frequency Hopping technology.

protocol technology, which recognizes transmission type and allocates bandwidth, is
highly efficient—80% throughput (i.e. 80% of 4 Mbps produces 3.2 Mbps net
capacity)—allowing multiple concurrent subscribers to utilize bandwidth over only a
1.33-MHz channel.
ASWipLL enables interconnection with the Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN) by using an IP-to-PSTN gateway. ASWipLL supports VoIP by offering
interoperability with a wide range of third-party products such as residential
gateways (RGW), access gateways, gatekeepers, and softswitches.
ASWipLL introduces real-time adaptive modulation (2-, 4-, 8-level FSK) and auto
retransmission request (ARQ); features offering high quality services whilst
maximizing spectrum utilization.
ASWipLL provides bandwidth management by supporting both asymmetric and
aggregated committed information rate (CIR) and maximum information rate (MIR),
guaranteeing bandwidth levels to subscribers.
ASWipLL supports broadband services such as VLANs and VPNs based on IEEE
802.1Q/p. ASWipLL supports IP routing and PPPoE bridging, as well as
transparent bridging.
ASWipLL provides embedded security features such as IP (packet) filtering based
on addresses, protocols, and applications.
The ASWipLL system supports SNMP-based management, allowing remote fault,
configuration, performance, and security management of the entire ASWipLL
system. This includes remote simultaneous software upgrade of multiple ASWipLL
devices.
Hardware Installation Guide Overview

1.1. System Architecture
The ASWipLL system offers modular Base Station architecture and high-
performance subscriber equipment. The ASWipLL system architecture is composed
of the following:
Base Station site: consists of ASWipLL access units that interface between the
provider's backbone and the ASWipLL subscriber sites.
Subscriber site: consists of ASWipLL customer premises equipment (CPE) that
interfaces between the Base Station and the subscriber's network.
Network operations center (NOC) tools: Windows- and SNMP-based
programs, providing fault, configuration, performance, and security management
for the entire ASWipLL system.
1.2. Base Station Site
The ASWipLL Base Station interfaces between the subscriber sites and the service
provider's backbone, delivering high-speed IP-based multimedia services to
subscribers across the last mile.
The Base Station includes various ASWipLL devices (some optional), as listed
below:
Base Station Radio (BSR) / Point-to-Point Radio (PPR) -- outdoor radio
Base Station Distribution Unit (BSDU) -- Ethernet switch
GPS antenna for synchronization
Base Station Power Supply (BSPS) -- provides –48 VDC power supply and
power redundancy
The implementation of these devices depends on the desired network (e.g. point-to-
point radio link), number of outdoor radios, and power source at the Base Station,
and required synchronization method (e.g. by GPS).
Overview Hardware Installation Guide

1.2.1. Base Station Radio (BSR)
The BSR is an outdoor radio that is mounted outside on a pole or wall. The BSR
provides a wireless link with subscribers and interfaces with the provider's
backbone. Each BSR can serve up to 251 subscribers in a sector.
The BSR is available in various models. These models differ mainly by:
Antenna design (providing integral flat-panel antennas, or N-type ports for
attaching third-party external antennas)
Antenna gain
Frequency band in which they are configured to operate
The BSR connects to the indoor Ethernet hub/switch by a CAT 5 cable, which
carries the Ethernet signal, frequency hopping synchronization signal, and DC
power. For a Base Station consisting of multiple BSRs, the BSRs connect to the
ASWipLL Base Station Distribution Unit (BSDU). For a Base Station consisting of
a single BSR, the BSR typically connects to the ASWipLL Subscriber Data Adapter
(SDA).
1.2.2. Point-to-Point Radio (PPR)
The PPR device is an outdoor radio similar to the BSR, but implemented in a point-
to-point radio configuration, providing wireless communication with a single remote
subscriber ASWipLL radio (i.e. SPR or IDR).
1.2.3. Base Station Distribution Unit (BSDU)
The BSDU is an Ethernet switch implemented at Base Stations consisting of
multiple BSRs. The BSDU provides 100BaseT interface between the BSRs and the
provider's backbone. The BSDU is also responsible for providing BSRs with –48
VDC power supply and for synchronizing BSDUs, BSRs, and Base Stations (when a
GPS is implemented).
The BSDU is installed indoors in a standard 19-inch cabinet and connects to the
BSRs by standard CAT 5 cables. Each BSDU can service up to six BSRs. In
Hardware Installation Guide Overview
02030311-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 1-5
addition, 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 6,096
subscribers.
Note: At a Base Station consisting of a single BSR, the BSR typicall
y
interfaces with the provider's backbone through an SDA instead of a BSDU.
(See Section 1.3.1, "Outdoor Radio with Indoor Switch/Hub").
1.2.4. Global Positioning System (GPS) - Optional
The GPS antenna is a rugged, self-contained GPS receiver and antenna that receives
a universal GPS satellite clock signal. The GPS is an optional unit that connects to
the BSDU. The GPS synchronizes (based on frequency hopping) multiple Base
Stations, ensuring that the entire ASWipLL network operates with the same clock
based on a universal satellite clock signal. This is crucial in eliminating radio
frequency ghosting effects.
1.2.5. Base Station Power Supply (BSPS) - Optional
The BSPS is an optional third-party unit that is implemented at Base Stations to
provide –48 VDC power supply and power redundancy. The BSPS is installed in a
standard 19-inch cabinet. The BSPS connects to the BSDU(s).
The BSPS provides the BSDUs and BSRs with the following:
Power supply of –48 VDC.
Power redundancy in case of power failure. The BSPS charges a battery bank
that provides power redundancy during mains failure. Thus, the BSPS acts as a
DC-uninterruptible power supply (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 this limit.
Remote power management and monitoring (by ASWipLL's WipManage
program).

1.3. Subscriber Site
The ASWipLL customer premises equipment (CPE) are located at the subscriber's
premises. The ASWipLL subscriber site consists of a radio transceiver that receives
and transmits signals from and to the Base Station. The radio provides the subscriber
with high-speed data access, Internet access, and VoIP at up to 4 Mbps.
The ASWipLL radios interface with the subscriber's Ethernet network either through
a hub or switch, or directly, depending on the ASWipLL radio implemented.
Note: For VoIP support, Airspan can provide a third-party residential gatewa
y
(RGW). The RGW typically provides two POTS ports for telephony, a 10BaseT
LAN port for subscriber PC/network, and a 10BaseT port for connecting to the
SDA or IDR (depending on subscriber site configuration).
The ASWipLL system provides two different subscriber-site configurations:
Outdoor radio with indoor Ethernet switch/hub
Indoor radio only
1.3.1. Outdoor Radio with Indoor Switch/Hub
The outdoor radio with indoor Ethernet switch/hub configuration consists of the
ASWipLL Subscriber Premises Radio (SPR) and the ASWipLL Subscriber Data
Adapter (SDA), respectively.
1.3.1.1. Subscriber Premises Radio (SPR)
The SPR is an outdoor radio that provides a wireless link with the Base Station (i.e.
BSR or PPR radio). The SPR interfaces with the subscriber's network through the
SDA Ethernet hub/ switch. The SDA provides the SPR with DC power, lightning
protection, and Ethernet (10BaseT and/or 100BaseT) interfaces with the subscriber's
PCs/network (up to four PCs, depending on SDA model).
The SPR is mounted outdoors on a wall or pole. The SPR connects to the SDA by a
standard CAT 5 cable.
Hardware Installation Guide Overview
02030311-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 1-7
The SPR is available in various models. These models differ mainly by:
Antenna design (providing integral flat-panel antennas, or N-type ports for
attaching third-party external antennas)
Antenna gain
Frequency band in which they are configured to operate
1.3.1.2. Subscriber Data Adapter (SDA)
The SDA is a switch or hub (depending on model), providing the SPR with -48
VDC power supply, lightning protection, and 10/100BaseT interface with the
subscriber's PCs/network.
The SDA is installed indoors and can be mounted on a wall or simply placed on a
desktop. The SDA connects to the SPR by a standard CAT 5 cable.
The SDA is available in the following models:
SDA-1: hub providing one 10BaseT interface with the subscriber's computer (or
LAN network if connected to another hub or a switch).
SDA-1/DC: adapter that provides Ethernet (one 10BaseT) and regulated
–48 VDC power to the SPR. This model can be powered from a power source of
10 to 52 VDC (e.g. from a solar panel or car lighter, which typically provide 12
VDC). This model is typically implemented in mobile wireless applications, e.g.
in a car or truck.
SDA-1 Type II: compact adapter that provides 10/100BaseT interface and –48
VDC power to the SPR. This model provides interchangeable plug prongs and
can be plugged into a standard 110/240 VAC wall outlet or into a 10 to 52 VDC
power supply (e.g. solar panel)
SDA-4H: hub providing four 10BaseT interfaces with the subscriber's
computers and/or networks. One of the 10BaseT ports provides crossover
cabling for interfacing with another hub or LAN switch. Alternatively, it may be
connected to another PC via a crossed Ethernet cable.
Overview Hardware Installation Guide
1-8 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-10
SDA-4S: integrated LAN switch, 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 (e.g. a PC) determines the speed at
which packets are transmitted through the SDA-4S port. For example, if the
device to which the port is connected is running at 100 Mbps, the port
connection will transmit packets at 100 Mbps. If the device to which the port is
connected is running at 10 Mbps, the port connection will transmit packets at 10
Mbps.
The SDA-4S ports also support automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection,
allowing connection of straight-through or crossover CAT 5 cables to any port.
The SDA-4S is available in the following models:
SDA-4S (standard): standard integrated LAN switch, providing four
10/100BaseT interfaces with the subscriber's computers. This model is ideal
for SOHO implementation.
SDA-4S/DC: integrated LAN switch, providing four 10/100BaseT interfaces
and especially designed for implementation where available power supply is
DC (10 to 52 VDC), e.g. from a solar panel or car lighter, which typically
provide 12 VDC. This model provides regulated –48 VDC power to the SPR.
SDA-4S/VL: provides VLANs between ports and the SPR, ensuring privacy
between LAN users of the different ports. For example, all users connected
to Port 1 do not "see" users connected to Port 2. This model is ideal for
multi-tenant (VLAN security) implementation.
SDA-4S/VLtag: ideal for multi-tenant applications where traffic engineering
and privacy is required. SDA-4S/VLtag assigns a specific VLAN ID to
traffic, based on the SDA-4S/Vltag port at which the traffic arrives. 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 through ASWipLL's network management system (WipManage).
The tag conversion is performed by SPR before sending the traffic to the air
(i.e. to the BSR) and vice versa when coming from the air.

02030311-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 1-9
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 (i.e. VLAN for each port and a high-priority port for
VoIP).
SDA-E1: integrated TDMoP fE1/Ethernet converter with standard SDA
features.

1-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-10
1.3.2. Indoor Radio Only
The indoor radio unit configuration consists solely of the ASWipLL Indoor Data
Radio (IDR). The IDR combines the functionality of the SPR and SDA, functioning
both as a transceiver and a hub. The IDR provides one 10BaseT Ethernet interface
with the subscriber's network. The IDR receives its power from a separate power
supply adapter (AC/DC or DC/DC power adapter).
The IDR is available in various models. These models differ mainly by:
Antenna design (providing integral flat-panel antennas, or TNC-type ports for
attaching third-party external antennas)
Antenna gain
Frequency band in which they are configured to operate
The IDR model with an integral flat-panel antenna is typically mounted on an
interior wall or on a desktop, ensuring line-of-sight with the Base Station. The IDR
model with a third-party external antenna is also mounted indoors, but the external
antenna is typically mounted outdoors to provide line-of-sight with the Base Station.
The IDR can be used for data and voice transmissions. In the case of voice, the IDR
uses a third-party RGW to interface with the subscriber's IP phone. Figure 1-3
displays a typical setup for data and voice at a subscriber site implementing the IDR.

Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide
2-2 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-10
2.2. ASWipLL Radios and Third-Party External
Antennas
Warning: Do not connect and disconnect antennas while the power is on. This
can cause irreversible damage to the device.
Warning: 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
Warnings:
1) The device cannot be sold retail, to the general public or by mail order. It
must be sold to dealers.
2) Installation must be controlled.
3) Installation must be performed by licensed professionals.
4) Installation requires special training.
Warning: The ASWipLL radios and antennas should be installed ONLY b
y
experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and
safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate
government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void Airspan's
A
SWipLL product warranty and may expose the end user or the service
provider to legal and financial liabilities. Airspan and its resellers or distributors
are not liable for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the
installation of outdoor units or antennas.
Hardware Installation Guide Safety Guidelines
02030311-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 2-3
Warning: For unlicensed bands, it is the responsibility of the person installing
the ASWipLL system to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the
United States (or where FCC rules apply), that only those antennas certified
with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified
with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47
part 15.204. The installer should configure the output power level of antennas
according to country regulations and per antenna type.
Warning: For unlicensed bands, in accordance with FCC regulations, ensure
that the external antennas provide an EIRP of less than or equal to 36 dBm to
prevent interference with other radios operating in the unlicensed band. The
EIRP is defined by the following formula:
Max. Power Output + Antenna Gain - Cable Loss ≤ 36 dBm (EIRP)
Airspan does not supply cables for connecting external antennas. It is the
responsibility of the installer to provide the cable and ensure the cable
characteristics (i.e. cable loss) enables adherence to FCC's regulations
concerning maximum EIRP. When calculating output power based on cable
loss, always assume the ASWipLL radio is configured for maximum rate mode
(i.e. 1.33/4 Mbps), which provides greater Tx power than low rate modes.
The table below lists examples of cable loss per cable (not supplied by
Airspan) for maximum antenna gains, based on the formula above. Note that
the EIRP is either equal to or less than 36 dBm.
Warning: The ASWipLL radios emit microwave radiation. Therefore, a
minimum distance of 200 mm must be maintained from the front of the
ASWipLL radios, except when operating in the following frequency bands:
- 700 MHz (i.e. ASWipLL 700) = 800 mm
- 2.5 GHz (i.e. ASWipLL 2.5) = 500 mm
Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide
2-4 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-10
Warning: To avoid RF interference between BSRs, ensure a minimum
1-meter horizontal separation between co-located BSRs.
Warning: To avoid RF interference between BSRs operating in the 700 MHz
where four BSRs are installed at a Base Station, in addition to 1-meter
horizontal separation, a minimum 1-meter vertical separation must be provided
between the two pairs of BSR antennas: one pair operating in the lower
frequencies (i.e. 711.5 and 714.5 for 1 Msps mode; 712 and 714 for 1.33 Msps
mode) and the other pair operating in the upper frequencies
(i.e. 741.5 and 744.5 for 1 Msps mode; 742 and 744 for 1.33 Msps mode).
Warning: When using external antennas, the external antennas must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Warning: Inherent risks exist in operating equipment in unlicensed bands (e.g.
900 MHz). Airspan recommends that you do not purchase or deploy any
equipment that operates in unlicensed bands without first analyzing the
interference environment at each of your proposed deployment locations.
Please contact your Authorized Airspan System Integrator or Distributor if you
have any questions or require assistance regarding interference analysis.
Airspan Networks will not be held responsible for product performance issues
related to interference.
Warning: In environments that produce disturbances such as paging systems,
Airspan recommends using a narrow-band cavity filter and implementing the
appropriate frequency bands (within the filter's capabilities), i.e. building an
NVRAM frequency table using only these frequencies.
Warning: Mount outdoor radios so that their front panel ports face down to
prevent water from settling on the ports. This avoids damage to the units such
as corrosion and electrical short-circuiting.
Warning: Do not mount outdoor radios and external antennas in weather that
may increase risk of electrocution such as rain or lightning.
Hardware Installation Guide Safety Guidelines
02030311-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 2-5
2.3. Electrical Safety Guidelines
Warning: Connect power only after all network and antenna cable
connections are performed. Powering the device before connecting, fo
r
example, the external antenna, can lead to irreversible device damage.
Warning: To prevent short-circuiting and electrical shocks, cables with
exposed ends (i.e. not yet crimped) should be covered with protective
polythene bags during external cable installation processes.
2.3.1. Handling Electrostatic Devices
Warning: To prevent ESD damage to ASWipLL devices, always wear an ESD
wrist strap when handling these devices or coming into contact with internal
components.
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:
ASWipLL 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.
Where operators come into direct contact with any piece of electronic hardware,
operators must wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap. All straps and cords
should be tested using a Wrist Strap Tester prior to use. 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.
Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide
2-6 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-10
2.3.2. Grounding
Only certain ASWipLL devices require additional grounding. ASWipLL devices
that do not require additional grounding provide grounding at the main electrical
outlet. The following table lists the ASWipLL devices' grounding requirements.
Table 2-1: ASWipLL grounding requirements
Site ASWipLL device Grounding
BSR/PPR Through the mains (via BSDU), i.e. no additional
grounding required
BSDU Additional grounding required (grounding lug at rear
end of chassis)
Base Station
BSPS (third-party) Additional grounding required (grounding lug at rear
end of chassis)
SPR Through the mains (via SDA), i.e. no additional
grounding required
CPE
IDR Through the mains, i.e. no additional grounding
required
2.3.3. Lightning Protection
Warning: Never install the equipment during stormy weather or lightning.
ASWipLL devices comply with the Surge Immunity standard: EN 61000-4-5.
ASWipLL devices are protected from lightning surges as the outdoor devices (BSRs
and SPRs) are encased in a plastic covering. Therefore, if lightning strikes the
device, an electrical circuit cannot be completed, and hence, no electrical surge can
occur.
In addition, ASWipLL outdoor and indoor (i.e. SDA) devices provide high-speed
data line protection against direct and induced transient over-voltage surges on the
cables. This capability is provided by the fact that all ASWipLL devices are
designed with transient voltage suppressor (TVS) components that maintain
potential differences.
Hardware Installation Guide Safety Guidelines
02030311-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 2-7
However, in geographical areas that have above normal lightning activity, Airspan
can supply an optional DC surge protector adapter (see Part II, Chapter 18, "Power
Cabling").
2.4. Cabling
Warning: Cables with exposed ends (i.e. not yet crimped) should be covered
with protective polythene bags during external cable installation processes.
Warning: Disturbance of cables on an In-Service exchange can cause loss o
f
service. Extreme care must be taken when installing cables at any customer o
r
subscriber premises.
Warning: The standard maximum cable length between the outdoor radios and
indoor switch/hubs (IDU/ODU) is 100 meters using the standard CAT 5 cable.
However, you can extend this cable to up to 300 meters. See Appendix F,
"Extending IDU/ODU Cable Length".
2.4.1. Considerations
The following issues should be considered during cabling at the ASWipLL Base
Station and customer premises:
Cable routes are to be defined in a site-specific documentation.
Note: A minimum separation of 200 mm should exist between power and data
cables. However, it is permissible to allow these cables to cross each other a
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 50 mm to prevent damage.
Plastic ties and wraps are to be used to secure cables at regular intervals to trays,
guides, and mounting pole/bracket. Ensure all trimmed ends are disposed of
safely and at regular intervals.
Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide
2-8 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-10
Data cables of less than 20 pairs 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. A maintenance loop or a
generous amount of cable slack shall be provided just before the cable reaches
the ASWipLL device to allow for equipment removal without disturbance to
adjacent cables.
When installing network cables, ensure they are not damaged by friction or sharp
edges.
Data cables providing connection to the customer's network shall be run in
protective conduits. Cable conduits should be secured to the wall in accordance
with manufacturers instructions.
External data cables are to be protected in metal conduits, which are to be
secured to the building structure in accordance with manufacturer's
recommendations.
Wiring conduits must be placed in areas to prevent a trip hazard (e.g. don't install
on roof walkways)
Cables should be carefully fed through conduits and not pulled by means of any
attached connector.
Sufficient space should be provided in cable conduits, trunking or trays (where
possible) to allow for future cabling growth.
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.
Cables not housed in conduits must be placed in a manner to avoid a trip hazard.
(Avoid trailing wires across passageways.)

2.4.2. Labeling
The following labels are required to be fitted to ASWipLL equipment:
Voltage Warning
High Earth Leakage Current
Signal Cable Designation
2.4.2.1. Voltage Warning
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 ASWipLL equipment ensure that local
requirements regarding labels are given consideration.
Where mains power is fed from separate phases, 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

Radio Site Planning
Radio Site PlanningRadio Site Planning
Radio Site Planning
Proper site selection and planning before installing your ASWipLL devices will
ensure a successful deployment of your ASWipLL system. Site planning includes
the following main considerations:
Minimum obstructions (e.g. buildings) in the radio path between Base Station
radio (i.e. BSR) and subscriber radios (i.e. SPR/IDR).
Mount radios as high as possible to avoid obstructions in the wireless path.
Check possibility of future obstructions such as plans to erect buildings and trees
that may grow tall enough to obstruct the wireless path.
Minimum incursions on Fresnel Zone (recommended minimum of 60%
clearance of first Fresnel Zone).
Align antennas for maximizing received signal strength (RSS)
Consider nearby sources of interference that could degrade performance of radio.
Mount radios as far from sources of interference as possible.
Ensure Base Station radio and subscriber premise's radios are within maximum
coverage range of reception.
Maximum standard CAT-5 cable length connecting the outdoor radio to the
indoor terminating equipment (i.e. switch/hub) is 100 meters (this can be
extended to up to 300 m).
Ensure that you have sufficient wiring conduit and cable ties to channel and
protect the CAT 5 cable connecting the outdoor radio to the indoor hub/switch.
Ensure required power mains outlet is available at the site.

Radio Site Planning Hardware Installation Guide
5-2 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-10
5.1. Minimal Radio Path Obstructions
ASWipLL radios communicate by propagation of waves. Thus, ensure minimum
obstructions (from, e.g. buildings and trees) in the radio path between Base Station
radio (i.e. BSR) and subscriber radios (i.e. SPR/IDR). It is essential that the
ASWipLL radios or antennas be installed in such a way that their radio paths have a
clear path with each other.
5.2. Fresnel Zone Clearance
There must be sufficient open space around the radio path to minimize interference
with the radio beam. A minimum of 60% of the first Fresnel Zone of the path
should be clear of obstructions. Despite a clear line-of-sight, objects close enough to
the transmission path may cause attenuation in signal strength and an increase in
signal interference. Objects with reflective surfaces that seem relatively far away,
but yet still encroaching on Fresnel Zone, may cause these interferences.
Figure 5-1: At least 60% of first Fresznel Zone should be clear
Hardware Installation Guide Radio Site Planning
02030311-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 5-3
Fresnel Zones define the amount of clearance required from obstacles. These zones
are composed of concentric ellipsoid areas surrounding the straight-line path
between two antennas. Thus, the zone affects objects to the side of the path and
those directly in the path. The first Fresnel Zone is the surface containing every
point for which the distance from the transmitter to any reflection point on the
surface point and then onto the receiver is one-half wavelength longer than the direct
signal path.
One method for clearing the Fresnel Zone (to use the free space model to calculate
link budget – see Section 5.6, "Calculating Link Budget") is by increasing the
antenna height.
The first Fresnel Zone radius is calculated by the following equation:
Where f is the frequency (in MHz) and d is the distance (in meters).
For example, using the formula above, a link of 4 km at 700 MHz produces a first
Fresnel Zone radius clearance of about 20 meters. This implies that to ensure the
ground does not enter into the first Fresnel Zone, both antennas (i.e. at Base Station
and subscriber) must be mounted at least 20 meters above ground level (or clutter
level). Typically, at least 60% clearance of the first Fresnel Zone is considered as
LOS. Therefore, in the above example, a height of at least 12 meters (i.e. 60% of 20
meters) above ground level is sufficient for LOS.

5-4 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-10
5.3. Multipath Fading
Some of the transmitted signals may be reflected from a nearby building, by water
under the signal path, or from any other reflectors. This reflected ("bounced") signal
can then be received by the radio receiving the signal and superimposed on the main
received signal, thereby degrading the signal strength.
To avoid multipath fading, for example, from nearby buildings, Airspan
recommends installing the outdoor radios at the rear end of the buildings instead of
at the front. In this installation setup, the front-end of the building blocks incoming
signals from multipath reflections.

Before setting up your wireless link between Base Station and subscribers, Airspan
recommends (especially in unlicensed bands), analyzing the RF spectrum at the
Base Station to select only clear frequency channels (i.e. without interferences) for
building a frequency table for wireless communication between Base Station and
subscriber.

Prior to performing this test, you need to mount the radio/antenna in the desired
installation spot. In general, you will be looking for frequencies with signal strengths
of –85 dBm or greater.
For using Airspan's spectrum analyzer tool, refer to the WipConfig User's Guide. For
evaluating link quality using the Spectrum Analyzer, see Appendix G, "Evaluating
Link Quality".
5.5. Adjacent Base Station Radios
For installations involving co-location of BSRs, it is important to assign frequencies
of maximum spacing. This is to reduce possible radio interference between
adjacently installed BSRs. In addition, a 1-meter separation must exist between
adjacent BSRs.
5.6. Calculating Link Budget
Link budget is the computation of the maximal achievable reception level for the
communication link between the Base Station and the subscriber site. This level is
the minimum required received signal level (RSS) at the antenna port for the radio to
close the communication link at a given data rate and under the worst-case fading
channel. The weakest signal a receiver can successfully pick up and demodulate at
an acceptable bit-error rate is called receiver sensitivity. This level must be greater
or equal to the radio's receiver sensitivity, which is the minimum RF signal power
level required at the input of a receiver for certain performance (e.g. > BER).
This takes into account the following parameters:
Transmit (dBm) EIRP:
Tx transmitter power (dBm) - cable loss (dB) + Tx antenna gain (dBi)
Propagation (dB):
Fade Margin + Free space loss (dB) = [fade margin] + 32.44 + 20logd(km) +
20logf(MHz), where f is the frequency in MHz, and d is the distance between
transmitting and receiving radios in km.
Radio Site Planning Hardware Installation Guide
5-6 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-10
Note: Free space propagation loss is valid only when the first Fresnel Zone is
clear.
Receive (dBm): Rx antenna gain (dBi) - cable loss (dB)
The formula to calculate receive signal strength:
RSS = Tx EIRP – Path Loss + Receive (i.e. Tx gain – Tx cable loss)
The RSS value must be greater than radio's receiver sensitivity for communication
link to succeed.
Example:
Given: frequency is 2.4 GHz; Tx power output is 27 dBm; Tx and Rx cable loss
is 0 dB; Tx antenna gain is 11 dBi; Rx antenna gain is 15 dBi; distance between
sites is 6 km; receiver sensitivity at 8-level FSK is -75 dBm.
Calculation: RSS = Tx + Tx gain – cable loss – path loss (fade margin + 32.44
+ 20logf + 20logf) + Rx gain – cable loss
Therefore, RSS = 27 + 11 – 116 + 15 = -63 dBi
Conclusion: calculated link budget received signal strength (-63) is above the
device's receive sensitivity threshold (-75); thus a communication link should
succeed.

Notes:
1) ASWipLL radios can operate in 2-, 4-, and 8-level FSK with signal strengths
(i.e. receiver sensitivity) greater than -90, -83, and -75 dBm, respectively.
2) As the number of CPEs operating in low modulations (i.e. 2 and 4 FSK)
increases, a decrease in cell bandwidth efficiency is expected. Therefore, to
enable the highest bandwidth efficiency, it's recommended to ensure (e.g. by
RF planning) that all CPEs operate in the highest modulation (i.e. 8 FSK).
3) These link budget rules are theoretical. It represents the maximum
achievable for a system. In reality we have interferences (other WLAN
networks, bluetooth), industrial noise (microwave ovens), atmospheric losses
(air moisture, scattering, refraction), badly pointed antenna, reflexions that will
affect performances. Thus, It is necessary to take a sufficient security margin
on large distances.
4) Normally, a higher margin is desirable due to fluctuation in received power
as a result of signal fading.
5) The maximum transmit power output of ASWipLL radios (regardless of
regulatory domain), depends on the operating frequency:
- 31 dBm: 700 MHz; 1.9 GHz (for BSR)
- 30 dBm: 900 MHz, 925 MHz, 1.5 GHz, 1.9 GHz (for SPR)
- 27 dBm: 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 (MMDS), 2.8, 3.x, and 5.8 GHz
For maximum transmit power according to FCC standards, see Appendix I,
"Declaration of FCC Conformity".

5.7. Radio Antenna Alignment
Once the subscriber unit (i.e. SPR/IDR) is installed and aimed in the general
direction of the BSR, it is recommended to measure the received signal strength
(RSS) to determine the signal strength received from the BSR, and to precisely align
the SPR/IDR for maximum signal strength.
You need to orientate (up/down, left/right) the SPR/IDR until the maximum RSSI
levels are achieved, and then secure the SPR/IDR. For short links you can expect an
RSSI of –60 dBm or better. For longer links, an RSSI of –75 dBm is acceptable.
Any RSSI of less than –80 dBm may be too weak for the radios to reliably
communicate.
Radio Site Planning Hardware Installation Guide
5-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-10
Airspan offers various tools for measuring RSS (check with your Airspan
representative regarding cost and supply):
SPR:
RSS LED adapter (see Part II, Chapter 17, "Antenna Alignment using RSS
LED Adapter")
WipConfig program (see Appendix G, "Evaluating Link Quality")
IDR: built-in RSSI LEDs (see Part III, Chapter 24, " Antenna Alignment Using
RSS LEDs")
5.8. Antenna Polarization Usage
The ASWipLL radios provide integral antennas or optional third-party external
antennas. Depending on radio model, these antennas provide horizontal wave
polarization (H-pol), vertical wave polarization (V-pol), or both. The usage of these
polarization options depend on the environment in which the radio is operating.
Horizontal polarized waves reflect better from horizontal surfaces (e.g. ground),
while V-pol waves reflect better from vertical surfaces (e.g. building walls).
This explains why broadcast television uses H-pol waves while cellular technologies
use V-pol waves. Therefore, it is expected that in rural areas H-pol will propagate
better than V-pol, and vice versa in urban areas.
Furthermore, in an area saturated with interference generated from V-pol
transmitters, the use of H-pol antenna may substantially improve the C/I (Carrier to
Interference) ratio, thus improving system performance

5.9. Considerations when Using External
Antennas
Notes:
1) To avoid unnecessary RF cable loss, use short-length cables and with low
attenuation.
2) Antennas should have a VSWR of less than 1:1.5.
3) Ensure BSR and SPR/IDR use the same antenna polarity (i.e. vertical or
horizontal).
4) When using an omni-directional antenna, choose a type providing a wide
vertical beam width (of at least 8°) to allow connection of closer CPEs.
5) Antenna must be DC grounded.
5.9.1. Cable Loss
Airspan's ASWipLL radios provide transmit power compensation for power
attenuation caused by cable loss (in cable connecting to external antenna). Cable loss
is the loss of radio transmit (Tx) power as heat, and directly proportional to cable
length and quality, and operating frequency.
To adhere to Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) limitations in the regulatory
domain (country) in which you are operating your ASWipLL system, when
purchasing antenna cables, take into consideration cable loss per cable length. EIRP
is calculated using cable loss:
EIRP = max. transmitter power output + antenna gain - cable loss
For example, FCC regulations state that when operating in unlicensed bands, the
external antennas must provide an EIRP of less than or equal to 36 dBm to prevent
interference with other radios. Thus, knowing this EIRP parameter, you can choose
the cable that ensures adherence to this parameter value.
The table below lists examples of cable loss per cable length.
Radio Site Planning Hardware Installation Guide
5-12 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-10
Table 5-1: Examples of cable loss per cable length
Note: Airspan does not supply external antenna cables. It is the responsibility
of the installer to provide the cable and ensure the cable characteristics (e.g.
length and cable loss) enables adherence to EIRP regulations (e.g. FCC) of the
country or area in which the ASWipLL system is operating.

02030311-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 5-13
5.9.2. Omni-Directional Antennas
In some scenarios, where capacity demand is relatively low, external omni-
directional antenna use at the Base Station may seem attractive. However, it is
recommended to avoid using omni-directional antennas (if possible), due to the
following disadvantages that these antennas pose compared to directional antennas:
Higher sensitivity to external interferences.
Higher sensitivity to multipath, resulting in the following:
The root mean square (RMS) delay spread at the Base Station is substantially
higher.
Multipath interference at the CPE side (when using omni-directional antenna
at the Base Station) is substantially higher. In fact, when using an omni-
directional antenna, the existence of clear Fresnel zone between BSR and
SPR/IDR is insufficient to eliminate multipath interference, since multipath,
in this case, can be caused by reflections originating from obstacles outside
the Fresnel zone.
Higher sensitivity to alignment. Since the omni-directional antenna gain is
achieved by narrowing the vertical beam width, a relatively low deviation in the
antenna alignment will result in severe signal attenuation.
5.9.3. Operating in 900 MHz
The performance of ASWipLL 900 operating in the 900 MHz band may vary
dramatically depending on the polarization of antennas, i.e. vertical or horizontal.
Therefore, it is recommended that the operator, during installation, compare the
performance between horizontal and vertical polarization of external antennas, and
implement the polarization providing the best performance. Some third-party
antennas that can be optionally supplied by Airspan for the 900 MHz band support
both horizontal and vertical polarization.
Radio Site Planning Hardware Installation Guide
5-14 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-10
5.9.4. Operating in Band-C for FCC Markets
Some operators (e.g. in the USA) have licenses for Band-C (710 to 716 MHz and
740 to 746 MHz). ASWipLL 700 provides an external antenna, allowing coverage in
the entire 700 MHz band (698 to 746 MHz), including the licensed A and B bands
used in USA.
A maximum of four BSRs operating in Band-C are allowed at a Base Station (in
accordance with FCC regulations). This regulation ensures minimum RF
interference with other radio devices that may be operating in nearby frequencies.
In the 1 Megasymbols per second (Msps) mode, the center frequencies are 711.5,
712.5, 713.5, 714.5, 741.5, 742.5, 743.5, and 744.5. Thus, the frequency allocation
for four BSRs is 711.5, 741.5, 714.5, and 744.5.
In the 1.33 Msps mode, the center frequencies are 712, 713, 714, 742, 743, and 744.
Thus, the frequency allocation for four BSRs is 712, 742, 714, and 744.
Figure 5-3: Frequency allocation in a four-sector Base Station
Radio interference may occur between the BSRs operating in the upper frequency
range (i.e. 742 MHz and 744 MHz) and the lower frequency range (i.e. 712 MHz
and 714 MHz). To overcome this interference, a 1-meter vertical separation (in
addition to the general 1-meter horizontal separation) is recommended between the
BSRs operating in the upper frequency and the BSRs operating in the lower
frequency.

02030311-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 5-15
5.9.5. Dual Antenna Receive Diversity
For specific BSR models (refer to the ASWipLL System Description book), two
antennas (integrated or external) are provided for antenna receive diversity at the
ASWipLL Base Station. This allows the BSR to select the antenna providing the
best RF reception to receive the signal.
For BSR models without integrated antennas, dual diversity is provided by the
existence of two N-type connectors for attaching two external antennas.
Notes:
1) The BSR with two antennas transmits using only one of the antennas
(factory selected).
2) Antennas must be orientated to cover the same area/cell (i.e. subscriber
sites), from only a slightly different location.

This chapter describes the mounting procedures for the following devices:
BSR
BSDU
BSPS
7.1. Pole Mounting BSR
The BSR is typically mounted outside on a pole, but it can also be mounted outside
on a wall. Pole mounting allows the BSR to be easily adjusted in the horizontal
(azimuth) and vertical (elevation) planes for antenna alignment.
Warning: The BSR device is an outdoor radio unit, and therefore, must only be
mounted outside.
Note: In the standard BSR kit, Airspan does not supply wall-mounting
brackets. To order wall-mounting brackets, contact your Airspan
representative. BSR wall mounting is identical to SPR wall mounting (see Part
II, Chapter 13, "Mounting the Devices").
The BSR is mounted using the mounting holes located on the BSR's bottom panel
(see Figure 7-1) and the supplied pole-mounting brackets. The pole-mounting
bracket is designed to support the BSR on a round pole of 45 mm in diameter.

7.2. Rack Mounting BSDU
The BSDU is designed for mounting in a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack
or telco rack with 1-rack unit (1-U) of vertical rack space. The sides of the BSDU
chassis provide integrated front-rail mounting brackets. Therefore, all that is
required for mounting the BSDU is to attach the BSDU front-rail mounting brackets
to the rack's mounting rails using the supplied four M5-mounting screws and plastic
cup washers.
To rack-mount the BSDU:
1. Determine the rack rail holes (left and right side) that will be used for
attaching the chassis.
2. Insert four nuts into the rack's rail holes you designated in Step 1. These nuts
are housed in Tinnerman clips, which allow you to fasten them into the rail
holes. To insert the Tinnerman clips, hold the clips, squeeze them, and then
insert them into the rail hole.
3. Carefully insert the BSDU into the rack, aligning the BSDU's mounting
bracket holes with the rack rail holes.
4. Insert the M5-mounting screws, with plastic washers, into the BSDU
mounting bracket holes, on each side, as shown in Figure 7-10. In this way,
the chassis is supported until you tighten the chassis screws.
5. Tighten the M5-mounting screws to fasten the chassis to the cabinet.

External Antennas
This chapter describes the procedures for connecting third-party external radio and
Global Positioning System (GPS) antennas to the BSR and BSDU, respectively. The
implementation of these antennas depends on the BSR model (with respect to radio
antennas) and the need for synchronization of the ASWipLL system (with respect to
GPS antennas).
10.1. Connecting Radio Antennas to BSR
The BSR model without an integrated antenna provides an N-type port(s) for
connecting a third-party external antenna(s). Specific BSR models (refer to the
ASWipLL System Description) provide two N-type connectors for connecting two
third-party external antennas. Two antennas provide dual-antenna diversity, whereby
data is transmitted using only the main antenna, while data is received by the
antenna (main or secondary) with the best radio frequency (RF) reception.
Notes:
1) BSR models that provide N-type connectors for attaching a third-party
external antenna do not contain an internal, built-in antenna.
2) Refer to the ASWipLL System Description for a list of BSR models
implementing third-party external antennas.
The following lists the BSR-to-third party external antenna cable setup:
Cable (third party): RF coaxial
Connector (third party): N-type male
The usage of N-type ports for BSR models with two N-type ports:
10
Connecting Third-Party External Antennas Hardware Installation Guide
10-2 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-10
If you are using only one antenna, connect the antenna to the N-type port
labeled Primary.
If you are using two antennas, connect the secondary antenna to the N-type
port labeled Secondary.
Warnings:
1) Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the BSR is not
connected to the power source.
2) Before powering on the BSR, ensure that some type of equipment such as
an antenna or an RF attenuator is connected to the N-type port. This eliminates
the risk of damaging the BSR device.
Warning: It is the responsibility of the person installing the ASWipLL 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 expressl
y
forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installe
r
should configure the output power level of antennas according to countr
y
regulations and per antenna type.
Warning: For ASWipLL 700 (i.e. 700 MHz band), where four BSRs are
installed at a Base Station, a 1-meter separation must be provided between the
antennas of the BSRs operating in the lower frequencies (i.e. 711.5 and 714.5
for 1 Msps mode; and 712 and 714 for 1.33 Msps mode) and the antennas of
the BSRs operating in the upper frequencies (i.e. 741.5 and 744.5 for 1 Msps
mode; and 742 and 744 for 1.33 Msps mode).
Warning: In accordance with FCC regulations, ensure that when operating in
unlicensed bands, the external antennas provide a maximum EIRP of 36 dBm
to prevent interference with other radios operating in the unlicensed band. The
EIRP is defined as:
Max. Power Output + Antenna Gain + Cable Loss ≤
≤≤
≤ 36 dBm (EIRP)
Note: It is recommended that the same antenna polarization (i.e.
horizontal/vertical) exists at both ends of the link (i.e. Base Station and
subscriber site).
Hardware Installation Guide Connecting Third-Party External Antennas
02030311-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 10-3
To connect the BSR to a third-party external antenna:
Connect the third-party N-type male connector, at the end of the RF cable, to the
N-type port located on the BSR's front panel, as displayed in Figure 10-1.
Figure 10-1: Attaching third-party external antenna
Notes:
1) For crimping RF coaxial cables to N-type connectors, see Appendix C,
"Cable Crimping".
2) Ensure that the third-party antenna cable is of sufficient quality to reduce or
eliminate loss when operating in the required frequency band. (Airspan does
not supply cables for external antennas.).

10.2. Connecting GPS Antenna to BSDU
The following subsections describe connecting the GPS to a BSDU.
Note: A GPS is required for synchronizing between multiple Base Stations that
implement frequency hopping for wireless communication.
10.2.1. Mounting the GPS
Depending on individual customer requirements and environmental influences there
are several available options for mounting the GPS:
Pole Mounting:
The GPS may be mounted to a pole similar to that used to mount the BSR (See
Chapter 7, "Mounting the Devices").
Mounting Plate:
The GPS may be mounted to a wall or roof top structure using a purpose-made
mounting plate supplied with the unit.
Direct Mounting:
The unit may be mounted directly to a suitable structure that has been provided
with holes suited to the GPS mounting details.
Magnetic Mounting:
An optional magnetic mounting device is available to allow GPS mounting to a
suitable surface, e.g. vehicle roof or steel building structure. This device is
attached by means of the threaded holes provided in the base of the GPS.
Note: When mounting the GPS on a metal pole that is in physical contact with
the ground, the GPS will not synchronize. To enable synchronization, you need
to isolate the GPS from the pole using isolation material.

10.2.2. Connecting the GPS
The GPS antenna connects to the BSDU's 15-pin D-type port, labeled GPS, located
on the BSDU's rear panel, as shown below.
Figure 10-2: BSDU rear panel showing GPS port
Warning: To avoid electrical or fire hazard, ensure that the connection to the
GPS is made prior to connecting the BSDU to the power supply.
Note: Airspan supplies unterminated cables for connecting the GPS to the
BSDU. For an explanation on cable crimping, see Appendix C, "Cable
Crimping".
The GPS-to-BSDU cable setup is as follows:
Cable: multipair overall shielded (22 AWG)
Connectors:
GPS side: 12-pin female (Deutsch MMP26C-2212S1)
BSDU side: 15-pin D-type male

13.1. Wall Mounting the SPR
The SPR is mounted outside on an exterior wall. However, the SPR can also be
pole-mounted.
Warning: The SPR device is an outdoor radio unit, and therefore, must only be
mounted outside.
Warning: Mount outdoor radios so that their front panel ports face down to
prevent water from settling on the ports. This avoids damage to the units such
as corrosion and electrical short-circuiting.
Note: The standard SPR kit includes wall-mounting brackets. For ordering
pole-mounting brackets (supply and costs), please contact your Airspan
representative. SPR pole mounting procedure is identical to BSR pole
mounting, thus, for a detailed description on pole mounting, see Part I, Chapte
r
7, "Mounting Devices".

This chapter describes the procedures for network cabling at the subscribe site, and
includes the following:
Connecting SPR to SDA
Connecting SDA to Subscriber's Ethernet Network
Connecting to a LAN/PC
Connecting to a Hub
Connecting to a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) Network (RGW)
Warning: To avoid electrical or fire hazard, ensure that the network
connections described in this chapter are made prior to connecting power.
14.1. Connecting SPR to SDA
SPR interfaces with the subscriber's Ethernet network through the SDA. To connect
the SPR to the SDA, you need to connect the SPR's 15-pin D-type port to the SDA's
Ethernet radio port (15-pin D-type for all SDAs except SDA-1 Type II, which
provides an RJ-45 port) using a standard CAT-5 cable.
The SPR-to-SDA cable setup is as follows:
Cable: straight-through 10BaseT Ethernet UTP 4 Pair CAT-5e 24 AWG
outdoor type (100 meters)
Connectors:
SPR side: 15-pin D-type male (only 6 pins are used)
SDA side: 15-pin D-type male (only 6 pins are used) for all SDAs except
SDA-1 Type II (RJ-45 port)

Notes:
• The connector pinouts are the same for all SDA models.
• Only pins 1 through 6 are used.
• The wire color-coding is ASWipLL's standard for wire color-coding (for a detailed description of
ASWipLL's wire color-coding standard, see Appendix C, "Cable Crimping"). However, if you
implement your company's wire color-coding scheme, ensure that the wires are paired and twisted
according to the pin functions (e.g. Rx+ with Rx-) listed in the table above.
To connect the SPR to the SDA (see Figure 14-1):
1. Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at one end of the CAT 5 cable,
to the SPR's 15-pin D-type port labeled DATA POWER SYNC.
2. Connect the other end to the SDA:
For SDA except SDA-1 Type II: connect the 15-pin D-type male connector
to the SDA's 15-pin D-type port (see Figure 14-1)
For SDA-1 Type II: connect the RJ-45 connector to the SDA's RJ-45 port
labeled RADIO (see Figure 14-2)

Notes:
1) The standard CAT cable length is up to 100 meters. However, you can
extend the cable length to up to 300 meters using ASWipLL IDU/ODU Extender
(see Appendix F, "Extending IDU/ODU Cable Length").
2) Airspan supplies unterminated CAT cables. For a detailed description on
crimping cables, see Appendix C, "Cable Crimping".
3) Airspan offers an optional RJ45-to-DB15 adapter for attaching to the SDA's
15-pin D-type port. This allows you to crimp an RJ45 connector to one end of
the CAT cable. For a detailed description, see Appendix E, "RJ-45 to DB15
Adapter for IDU/ODU Connectivity".
4) For IDU/ODU connectivity of 40 meters and more, an outdoor lightning and
surge protector must be implemented (see Appendix I, "Installing Lightning
Protector".)
14.2. Connecting SDA to Subscriber's Ethernet
Network
The SDA provides an RJ-45 port(s) for Ethernet connectivity to the subscriber's
PC/network. The number of Ethernet ports and the speed of the Ethernet connection
depend on the SDA model. For a description of the ports of the various SDA
models, see Chapter 12, "Basic Design of Devices".
Note: Only subscriber terminal equipment (e.g. computer modem port) that is
designed for full compliance with TNV-1 telecommunication network
connectivity can be connected to the SDA-1. Warranty of Airspan's equipmen
t
shall be made void if the SDA is connected to a computer that is not compliant
with TNV-1.
14.2.1. Connecting to LAN/PC
The SDA connects to the subscriber's PC(s)/LAN through the SDA's RJ-45 Ethernet
port(s). The number of Ethernet ports depends on the SDA model.
The SDA-to-subscriber PC cable configurations are as follows:

14.2.2. Connecting to Hub
The SDA-4S and SDA-4H models can be connected to a hub (e.g. for daisy
chaining). Generally, connecting hubs/switches to other hubs/switches requires
crossover cabling. The ports of the SDA-4S support MDI/MDI-X automatic
crossover, allowing connection of straight-through or crossover cables to any of the
ports. However, for SDA-4H, only the left-most RJ-45 port (port J5) is a crossover
port and can be connected to a hub.
The SDA-4S and SDA-4H cable configurations are as follows:
Connector: 8-Pin RJ-45
Cable:
SDA-4H: crossover-cable
SDA-4S models: straight-through or crossover cables
Connector pinouts:

14.2.3. Connecting to VoIP Network
The SDA-4S/1H3L and SDA-4S/VL/1H3L models' left-most RJ-45 Ethernet ports
are used to interface with the subscriber's VoIP network. This port assigns highest
priority level (compared to the other RJ-45 ports) to VoIP traffic.
The cable connections for connecting the SDA-4S/1H3L and SDA-4S/VL/1H3L
models to the subscriber's VoIP network are as follows:
Connector: 8-pin RJ-45 male
Cable: straight-through or crossover

Serial Cabling
The SPR's 15-pin D-type port provides serial interface with a PC for configuring the
SPR through an RS-232 communication mode. The 15-pin D-type port uses three
pins for serial interface with a PC, and six pins for interfacing with the SDA (with
which the SPR is connected). A Y-cable (splitter) is used to connect the SPR's 15-
pin D-type port to both the PC and the SDA.
Notes:
1) SPR initial configuration is performed using Airspan's WipConfig program
(refer to the ASWipLL WipConfig User's Guide).
2) For customers with previous SPR models providing a 9-pin D-type port, the
serial cabling is identical to BSR serial cabling (see Part I, Chapter 9, "Serial
Cabling".
The SPR-to-PC and SDA cable connections for SPR serial configuration are as
follows:
Connectors:
SPR side: 15-pin D-type male (only 6 pins used)
PC side: 9-pin D-type (RS-232)
SDA side: 15-pin D-type male

External Antenna
The SPR model without a built-in antenna provides an N-type port for connecting a
third-party external antenna. The addition of an external antenna allows greater RF
sector coverage than the standard SPR built-in antenna models.
Warning: Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the SPR is
NOT connected to the power source.
Warning: Before powering on the SPR, ensure that some type of equipment
such as an antenna or an RF attenuator is connected to the N-type receptacle.
This eliminates the risk of damaging the SPR device.
Warning: It is the responsibility of the person installing the ASWipLL 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 expressl
y
forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installe
r
should configure the output power level of antennas according to countr
y
regulations and per antenna type.
Warning: In accordance with FCC regulations, ensure that for external
antennas, the maximum EIRP is 36 dBm. The EIRP is defined as:
Max. Power Output + Antenna Gain + Cable Loss ≤ 36 dBm (EIRP)
Notes:
1) SPR models that provide N-type connectors for attaching a third-party
external antenna do not contain an internal, built-in antenna.
2) It is recommended that the same antenna polarization (i.e. horizontal/
vertical) exists at both ends of the link (i.e. Base Station and subscriber site).
3) For crimping RF coaxial cables, see Appendix C, "Cable Crimping".
