Page 12 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide 2 System Overview EasyST is a revolutionary, self-install, indoor WiMAX customer premises equipment (CPE). 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 EasyST architecture includes the following components: ¾ EasyST module with clip-on antenna ¾ AC/DC power adapter with interchangeable plug prongs: plugged into a standard electrical wall outlet (110/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz), supplying the EasyST with 6 VDC power The EasyST provides a fast and easy mounting method by allowing you to simply place it on a desktop/table. However, if an external antenna is used, the EasyST can alternatively be mounted on a wall. The figure below displays the EasyST architecture: Page 17 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide Figure 2 - EasyST architecture 2.5.1 EasyST Models The EasyST is available in three optional deployment models: ¾ EasyST with clip-on antenna containing four high-gain, integrated flat panel, 90-degree directional antennas, providing 360 degree coverage. EasyST selects the antenna with best RF reception with the BS by using the 6-pin Antenna Controller. ¾ EasyST with external antenna connected by RF cable for easy window mounting. ¾ EasyST (clip on or external antenna) providing plug-in expansion modules supporting the following interfaces: • WiFi (EasyWiFi) • VoIP and battery backup (EasyVoice) • LAN switch 2.5.2 EasyST Block Diagram The figure below displays the EasyST block diagram: Page 18 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide Figure 3 - EasyST Block Diagram Note: EasyST uses the antenna switch to select one of the four 90-degree antennas of the clip-on antenna. 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. Page 19 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide 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.

Page 30 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide 6 Mounting Caution: EasyST is an indoor unit and therefore, must be mounted only indoors. 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 Page 31 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide 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 windowmount 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 wallmounting 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 0.08inch 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. Page 32 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide Figure 14 - Mounting hooks Page 33 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide 7 Optimizing RF Reception To ensure a reliable, secure, and fast connection with your Internet Service Provider (ISP), you need to place your EasyST in a position that provides the best RF reception with the ISP (i.e. base station). 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. Page 34 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide 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) signal Green All LEDs are off SNR < 5 First left-most LED is on 5 <= Avg. SNR < 9 Two left-most LEDs are on 9 <= Avg. SNR < 12 Three left-most LEDs are on 12 <= Avg. SNR < 16 Four left-most LEDs are on 16 <= Avg. SNR < 22 Five LEDs are on 22 <= Avg. SNR Page 35 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide 8 Connecting the External Antenna You can improve RF reception on EasyST by implementing a window-mount external antenna. 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 Page 36 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide 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. Page 37 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide 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.

The figure below displays the antenna mounted on a window using the antenna's side panel. Figure 24 - mounted antenna Page 40 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide 9 Replacing the Clip-On Antenna The EasyST is supplied with the clip-on antenna already attached to the EasyST. However, in cases where you may have previously removed it to connect EasyST to an external windowmount 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 flathead 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. Page 41 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide Figure 27 - clip-on antenna 4. Gently push the antenna down onto the EasyST so that the MCX and 6-pin connectors plug into their respective receptacles, and that the antenna's knob sits firmly into the EasyST's notch. Figure 28 - antenna attached 5. For customers possessing EasyST models that implement a screw mechanism for securing the antenna to the EasyST, continue with the following steps: a. Flip the EasyST over so that its rear panel is visible. Insert the M3 25-mm flat-head Philips screw (supplied) into the hole that's located on the rear panel, behind the RJ-45 and DC power connectors, as shown in the figure below. Page 42 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide Figure 29 - insert screw b. Using a Philips screwdriver, tighten the screw so that the antenna is firmly attached to the EasyST. Figure 30 - tighten screw Page 43 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide 10 EasyST Smart Card The EasyST has an integrated Smart Card (SIM) terminal, which can utilize the optional EasyST Smart Card (sold separately). 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 Page 44 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00128 Rev K EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide 11 Resetting EasyST to Default Settings The EasyST allows you to apply factory default configuration settings to the EasyST.
