Installing the SPR This chapter describes the installation of the WipLL Subscriber Premises Radio (SPR), located at the subscriber's premises. Warning: Cables with exposed ends (i.e., not yet crimped) should be coveredwith protective polythene bags during external cable installation processes. Warning: As the system emits microwave radiation, a minimum distance of500 mm must be maintained from the front of the SPR. However, for the 700MHz band (i.e. WipLL 700), when external antennas are used, a minimum distance of 800 mm must be maintained from the front of the device. Warning: To avoid electrical or fire hazard, connect the SPR to the powersupply only after mounting the SPR and connecting data cables. Note: Usually, the SPR is initialized (i.e., configured with an IP address) atAirspan's factory. However, if the SPR has not been configured, see Section 10.5, “Connecting to a PC for Serial Configuration”, before mounting the SPR. 1002030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 10-1

Hardware Installation Guide Installing the SPR 10.3. Connecting External Third-Party 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°).   Cable: RF coaxial Connector: N-type male 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 burning the SPR device. Warning: 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. Warning: In accordance with FCC regulations, ensure that for externalantennas, the maximum EIRP is 36 dBm. The EIRP is defined as:Max. Power Output + Antenna Gain + Cable Loss ≤ 36 dBm (EIRP) 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 10-19
