The EasyST is designed to work with WiMAX compliant base stations including the base station products in the AS.MAX family. The EasyST, which uses Intel Corporation’s Pro/Wireless 5116 broadband interface, connects IP-enabled devices directly to WiMAX networks and can be installed indoors by end users within minutes without the need for costly professional installations by an operator. EasyST is designed for the residential and small enterprise markets, providing high-speed broadband Internet access and a Fast Ethernet connection to the subscriber's local area network (LAN). EasyST models support IP services at speeds of up to 37 Mbit/s over-the-air gross rates over channel bandwidths of up to 10 MHz in both uplink and downlink. EasyST is available in numerous ETSI frequency bands, operating in FDD and TDD modes in numerous channels, see: EasyST Frequency Ranges and EasyST-2 Frequency Ranges. EasyST is also available in a multi-mode model (EasyST-2) based on the Rosedale chipset which supports both TDD and FDD.  Note: EasyST-2 is presently available for frequencies, 3.4–3.6 and 3.6–3.8 only.  EasyST uses the OFDM signaling format, providing non line-of-sight (NLOS) performance. EasyST utilizes QAM, QPSK, and BPSK modulation technologies by modulating transmitted signals and demodulating the received signals where the original digital message can be recovered. The use of adaptive modulation allows EasyST to optimize throughput, yielding higher throughputs while also covering long distances.  EasyST is typically deployed with a clip-on antenna, which is attached directly to the EasyST's top panel. However, for deployments in rigorous terrains, the EasyST can be attached using an RF cable to an external window-mount antenna to provide strong radio coverage.  The EasyST's compact design allows it to be deployed alongside the end-user's PC by simply placing it on a desktop (or mounting it to a wall when using an external antenna. Easy-to-read radio signal strength LED indicators on the EasyST's top panel enable the end user to position the device in the optimum location, ensuring service availability and reliability, while increasing service speed and reducing network load. EasyST provides 10/100BaseT interface with the subscriber's LAN. In addition, the EasyST provides an interface for adding plug-in expansion modules to provide support for features such as: ¾  WiFi and LAN Switch (EasyWiFi module) ¾  VoIP and battery backup (EasyVoice module) EasyST is powered by an AC/DC power adapter that is plugged into any standard electrical wall outlet. The power adapter provides interchangeable plug prongs to suit country-specific electrical wall sockets. EasyST can be managed by Airspan's AS.MAX Web-based management system using standard Web browsers, or alternatively, by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) through BS intervention using standard and proprietary MIBs. In addition, external third-party management systems such as HP OpenView can also manage the EasyST using these MIBs.

The antenna switch is not used in deployments in which the external window-mount antenna is implemented. 2.6  EasyST Protocol Stack The figure below displays a block diagram of the EasyST's network architecture, designed as a hierarchy of protocols (i.e. protocol stack) implemented in the communication network.
                                 EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide     Page 20  Commercial in Confidence  UWB-D00128 Rev K   Figure 4 - EasyST protocol stack 2.7  Theory of Operation For basic operation, the EasyST requires no initial configuration--simply plug and play. Configuration is automatically performed over the air by the BS. The EasyST is preconfigured by the operator at the BS (using Netspan) with service flow parameters such as the maximum information rate, the committed information rate, the maximum latency, and maximum jitter. These configuration parameters are stored in Netspan's database corresponding to the EasyST's MAC address. Before any communication between EasyST and BS can occur, the EasyST must be positioned in a location that provides sufficient RF reception.  To join a network, the EasyST needs to perform a few tasks. First, the "Network Entry" process (defined in IEEE 802.16-2004) begins with the EasyST scanning for a downlink (DL) signal from the base station, and then synchronizing to the DL channel. Thereafter the EasyST can start the process of initial ranging, which alerts the BS to the presence of the EasyST and establishment of management connections to obtain basic, primary and secondary management connection IDs (CID) from the BS. After the CIDs have been obtained, the EasyST commences authorization and key exchange. In the final stage, the EasyST registers at the base station and thereafter obtains the IP address, time of day and the configuration file from the BS.  During Network entry, the EasyST sends the BS its MAC address. The BS via SNMP notifies Netspan of a new CPE connection and Netspan checks the database to it contains the CPE MAC address. The BS then accesses Netspan's database (via SNMP) and checks whether the EasyST's MAC address appears in the database. If it locates the MAC address, the Netspan feeds all the EasyST's configuration parameters (service flows) from the database and the BS downloads them to the EasyST device.

EasyST is a self-install indoor unit, requiring no professional technician. EasyST must be mounted indoors in a location that provides: ¾  High quality RF reception with the Internet service provider (i.e. base station) ¾  Accessibility to power supply and LAN network with regards to cable lengths  The mounting options of the EasyST depend on the antenna configuration: ¾ EasyST with clip-on antenna: mounted horizontally on a desktop ¾ EasyST with window-mount external antenna:  •  Horizontally on a desktop  •  Vertically on a wall 6.1  Desktop Mounting The EasyST can be simply placed horizontally on a desk/table (as shown in the figure below). The EasyST radio provides integrated rubber feet (pads) on the bottom panel. These rubber feet provide cushioning as well as insulation from static electricity.  Caution: To prevent a fire hazard caused by overheating, do not place the EasyST on a carpeted surface where airflow is restricted.  Figure 12 - Desktop 6.2  Wall Mounting When EasyST implements the window-mount external antenna (i.e. no clip-on antenna), the EasyST can be mounted either on a desk (i.e. desktop mounting) or a wall. For mounting to a
                                 EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide     Page 32  Commercial in Confidence  UWB-D00128 Rev K   wall, the EasyST provides two mounting hooks molded into EasyST's bottom panel, as shown below:  Figure 13 - Wall mounting  Note: Before mounting the unit, ensure that the RF cable of the window-mount external antenna is plugged into the EasyST's MCX connector and that the cover cap is fitted onto the EasyST, protecting the MCX connector.  To wall mount the EasyST: 1.  On the wall, mark the position where you want to drill the two holes for the screws on to which the two mounting hooks will later by guided. The distance between the two wall-mounting hooks (from their centers) is 83 mm (3.27 inches). Ensure that the holes are aligned and level using a spirit level. 2.  Drill holes for each hole that you marked in the step above, using a no. 6 twist drill bit. 3.  Insert the 6-mm wall anchors (supplied) into each of the drilled holes. 4.  Drive the two 0.75-inch screws (supplied) into the wall anchors. Ensure that at least 0.08-inch gap is exposed between the screw head and the wall anchor to allow insertion into the EasyST mounting hooks. 5.  Align the entrance to the two EasyST mounting hooks with the screws, and then pull down the EasyST to lock the screws into the mounting hooks.

To help you locate the best position, EasyST provides you with a LED indicator that indicates the strength of the RF signal with your ISP. This LED is labeled signal and is located on the EasyST's top panel.  As the signal strength increases, so the signal LED line progresses to the right, as illustrated below:  Figure 15 - Signal strength LED Therefore, for optimal reception, simply move the EasyST to the position that lights up a longer signal LED line.
                                 EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide     Page 35  Commercial in Confidence  UWB-D00128 Rev K    Figure 16 - Positioning EasyST The signal LED indicates the strength of the signal by measuring the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). SNR indicates received signal strength relative to background noise. The ratio is usually measured in decibels (dB). Thus, the higher the SNR ratio, the better the communication. The table below describes the EasyST signal LEDs with regards to SNR values. Table 11 - SNR values LED  Color  Status  Average SNR (dBm) All LEDs are off  SNR < 5 First left-most LED is on  5 <= Avg.

This may be necessary in the following scenarios: ¾  Subscriber's premises is located far from the base station, resulting in insufficient signal strength for viable communication link to occur when using the clip-on antenna. ¾  Location of mounted EasyST provides insufficient signal strength due to obstacles between the EasyST and ISP (i.e. Airspan WiMAX base station) when using the clip-on antenna. EasyST provides an MCX connector for attaching the window-mount, external antenna's RF cable (approximately 1.5 meters). The external antenna can then be easily mounted in a vertical position on a window using adhesive pads. The connection of the external antenna to the EasyST is performed in two main steps: ¾ Attaching the antenna's RF cable to the EasyST ¾ Mounting the external antenna to a window For a detailed list of the specifications of the external antenna, see Window-Mount Antenna Specifications. 8.1  Attaching the Antenna RF Cable  Caution: Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the EasyST is NOT connected to the power source. Do not connect and disconnect antennas while the power is on. This can cause irreversible damage to the device.  To attach the external antenna's RF cable to the EasyST: 1.  If you had originally ordered the EasyST with a clip-on antenna, then you need to remove it; otherwise, skip to Step 2. Remove the clip-on antenna by holding down on the EasyST with one hand, and then with the other hand, lifting the clip-on antenna up and away from the EasyST.   Figure 17 - lift clip-on antenna
                                 EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide     Page 37  Commercial in Confidence  UWB-D00128 Rev K    Caution: Do not rotate the clip-on antenna until it has detached entirely from the EasyST.  2.  Remove the plastic protector cap to expose the MCX female connector. Insert a flat-head screw driver (or any tool with a blunt, pointed edge), into the cable groove created by the cap and the EasyST, and then gently leverage the cap's guides out of the EasyST's cover pins.  Figure 18 - remove plastic cover 3.  Plug the external antenna's MCX connector into the EasyST's MCX female connector, as shown below.  Figure 19 - connecting antenna 4.  Feed the RF cable into the EasyST's RF cable groove, ensuring that the RF cable exits the EasyST through the EasyST's RF cable groove, as shown above.  5.  Protect the connectors by covering the area exposed by the removal of the clip-on antenna, with the plastic protector cap (supplied). Attach the plastic protector cap to the exposed area, by aligning the cap's two position cups with the EasyST's two position pins. Ensure that the cap's RF cable groove is aligned and flush with the RF cable and EasyST's RF cable groove.
                                 EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide     Page 38  Commercial in Confidence  UWB-D00128 Rev K    Figure 20 - install plastic cap   Note: If you later decide to disconnect the external antenna and reconnect the clip-on antenna, see Replacing the Clip-On Antenna. 8.2  Mounting the External Antenna The external antenna can be easily mounted in a vertical position on a window using the adhesive pads located on the side and front panels of the antenna. The antenna can be mounted in one of two orientations:  ¾  Antenna's front panel (narrow edge) is mounted flat against the window (typical orientation)  ¾  Antenna's side panel is mounted flat against the window  Note: The external antenna must be mounted on a flat, smooth, dry, and clean surface (i.e. window).  To window-mount the external antenna: 1.  Locate the desired position on the inside of a window to where you want to mount the antenna. 2.  Remove the white tape from the adhesive pads. Do not touch the adhesive surfaces. 3.  Align the antenna vertically just above the window surface to where you want to mount the antenna, in the desired orientation (as described above). 4.  Press the antenna down firmly onto the window surface so that all adhesive pads touch at the same time. Put pressure on all the areas under which are located adhesive pads.

However, in cases where you may have previously removed it to connect EasyST to an external window-mount antenna, you may want to discontinue using the external antenna and replace it with the clip-on antenna.  Caution: Before disconnecting the external antenna and replacing the clip-on antenna, ensure that the EasyST is not connected to the power source. Do not connect and disconnect antennas while the power is on. This can cause irreversible damage to the EasyST.   Note: Later EasyST models provide a screw for securing the clip-on antenna to the EasyST.  To replace the clip-on antenna: 1.  Remove the plastic protection cap protecting the antenna connectors, by inserting a flat-head screw driver between the cap and the EasyST, and then gently leveraging the cap's guides out of the EasyST's cover pins.  Figure 25 - Remove cover 2.  Unplug the external antenna's MCX connector from the EasyST's MCX jack.  Figure 26 - Unplug MCX connector 3.  Align the clip-on antenna's knob with the EasyST's notch, as shown in the figure below.

Contact your Airspan supplier for more information. The EasyST is fully functional with or without the EasyST Smart Card.  When the EasyST Smart Card is inserted the EasyST uses the parameters set in the card (overriding the NVRAM parameter settings). Otherwise it uses the parameters set in the EasyST's NVRAM. Currently the Smart Cards are available from Airspan and are configured to your specific requirements.  Note: In the event the Smart Card is removed the EasyST continues to function using SIM parameters, until the next reset when it utilizes the default stored NVRAM settings.  The following defines the EasyST Smart Card stored parameters: ¾ Operator ID - defines the Operator ID by means of the BS ID and Mask in order to enforce the CPE to be associated to a specific BS or to a group of BSs. This prevents the CPE from connecting to other BS(s) that do not belong to this specific operator ¾ RF Channel Scanning Table - determines the channel scanning range, when there are RF channel shifts in the table. This is performed during network entry, to find the best RF channel with the best reception level ¾ Maximum Tx Power - defines the maximum Tx power, to meet the regulations of the region
