2 System Overview
The ProST is an outdoor WiMAX-based customer premises equipment (CPE). The ProST, which
uses Intel Corporation’s Pro/Wireless 5116 broadband interface, connects IP-enabled devices
directly to WiMAX networks. Designed for the residential and small enterprise (SME) markets, the
device supports high-speed broadband Internet through a Fast Ethernet connection.
The ProST ensures high service availability at enhanced ranges, operating in both LOS and
NLOS propagation environments. ProST uses the OFDM signaling format, providing non line-ofsight (NLOS) performance. ProST 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 ProST to optimize throughput,
yielding higher throughputs while also covering long distances.
ProST 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. ProST is available in numerous
ETSI frequency bands, operating in FDD and TDD modes in numerous channels, see: ProST
Frequency Ranges and ProST-2 Frequency Ranges.
ProST is also available in a multi-mode model (ProST-2) based on the Intel ® Rosedale chipset
which supports both TDD and FDD.
Note: ProST-2 is presently available for frequencies, 3.4–3.6 and 3.6–3.8
only.
ProST can be deployed with a built-in, integral antenna or alternatively, with an external antenna
to provide better radio coverage. Requiring professional installation, the ProST is installed
outdoors on a pole or wall, enabling optimal positioning for best reception with the BS. Outdoor
mounting of the ProST is made possible due to ProST's built-in lightning surge protection feature
(complying with Surge Immunity standard EN 61000-4-5).
ProST is powered through the SDA-1 Type II (referred henceforth as SDA-1) adapter which
interfaces with the subscriber's LAN. ProST connects to the SDA-1's 100BaseT interface port by
a standard 100-meter CAT-5 cable. The SDA-1 also provides the ProST with 10 to 52 VDC power
supply. However, as an alternative to these adapters, Airspan offers three optional integrated LAN
switches:
SDA-4S Type II: A standard integrated LAN switch, providing four 10/100BaseT
interfaces with the subscriber’s computers. This model is ideal for SOHO
implementation.
SDA-4S/VL Type II: Provides VLANs between ports and the ProST, 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/DC Type II: integrated LAN switch, providing power and 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. This model provides regulated –48
VDC power to the BSR.
All SDA types work in VLAN Pass-through mode. Tagged and Untagged packets are forwarded
transparently by the SDA. The SDA has no VLAN ID configuration per port.
ProST can be managed by Airspan's Web-based management system using standard Web
browsers or alternatively, by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using
standard and proprietary MIBs. In addition, external third-party management systems such as HP
OpenView can also manage the ProST using these MIBs.
Note: For management refer to WiMAX Web-based Management for
Subscriber Stations User Guide.

2.4.2 ProST Protocol Stack
Figure 7 ‐ Protocol Stack
2.4.3 Theory of Operation
For basic operation, the ProST requires no initial configuration--simply plug and play.
Configuration is automatically performed over the air by the BS. The ProST 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. These configuration
parameters are stored in Netspan's database corresponding to the ProST's MAC address.
Before any communication between ProST and BS can occur, the ProST must be positioned in a
location that provides sufficient RF reception.
To join a network, the ProST needs to perform a few tasks. First, the "Network Entry" process
(defined in 802.16-2004) begins with the ProST scanning for a downlink (DL) signal from the base
station, and then synchronizing to the DL channel. Thereafter the ProST can start the process of
initial ranging, which alerts the BS to the presence of the ProST and establishment of
management connections to obtain basic and primary management connection IDs (CID) from
the BS. After the CIDs have been obtained, the ProST commences authorization and key
exchange. In the final stage, the ProST registers at the base station before obtaining the IP
address, time of day and the configuration file.
During Network entry, the ProST sends the BS its MAC address. The BS then accesses
Netspan's database (via SNMP) and checks whether the ProST's MAC address appears in the
DB. If it locates the MAC address, the BS retrieves all the ProST's configuration parameters
(service flows) from the DB and downloads them to the ProST device.

¾
Wall Mounting:
drill bits
4 x wall anchors
4 x screws
Philips head screwdriver
Flat-blade screwdriver
A/F open ended spanner
¾
Crimping tool for crimping RF cable to N-type connector (only relevant when
implementing external antenna).
¾
Torque wrench for N-type connectors (only relevant when implementing external
antenna).
Note: Airspan does not provide screws and wall anchors for mounting the
ProST to the wall. The screw size depends on the structure of the building to
which the ProST is to be attached. When selecting screw sizes, consideration
must be given to the weight of the ProST and load that may be induced in
windy conditions.
3.4 Radio Site Planning
Proper site selection and planning before installing your ProST will ensure a successful
deployment of your Airspan WiMAX system. Site planning includes the following main
considerations:
¾
Minimum obstructions (e.g. buildings) in the radio path between base station and the
ProST.
¾
Mount radios as high as possible to avoid obstructions in the wireless path.
¾
Check possibility of future obstructions such as plans to erect buildings and trees that
may grow tall enough to obstruct the wireless path.
¾
Align antenna for maximizing received signal strength (RSS).
¾
Consider nearby sources of interference that could degrade performance of radio. Mount
radios as far from sources of interference as possible.
¾
Ensure base station and ProST are within maximum coverage range of reception.
¾
Maximum standard CAT-5e cable length connecting the outdoor ProST to the indoor SDA
is 100 meters.
3.4.1 Minimal Radio Path Obstructions
Airspan WiMAX radios communicate by propagation of waves. Thus, ensure minimum
obstructions (from, e.g. buildings and trees) in the radio path between base station and ProST.
3.4.2 Fresnel Zone Clearance
It is advisable to have a sufficient open space around the radio path to minimize blocking of 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, may still encroach on the Fresnel Zone, and cause
interference.
Page 25
Commercial in Confidence
UWB-D00111 Rev L
ProST Hardware Installation User Guide
Figure 8 ‐ Fresnel Zones
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 is by increasing the antenna height.
The first Fresnel Zone radius is calculated by the following equation:
Figure 9 ‐ Fresnel formula
Figure 10 ‐ Fresnel Zones
Typically, at least 60% clearance of the first Fresnel Zone is considered as LOS. 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 0.6 x r meters above ground level (or clutter level).
Examples, using the formula above,
Page 26
Commercial in Confidence
UWB-D00111 Rev L
ProST Hardware Installation User Guide
¾
For a link of 4 km, at 3.5 GHz produces a first Fresnel Zone radius clearance of about 9.3
meters, meaning the antennas should be mounted at a height of at least 5.6 meters (60%
of 9.3 meters) above ground level (or clutter level).
¾
For a link of 4 km, at 4.9 GHz produces a first Fresnel Zone radius clearance of about 7.8
meters, meaning the antennas should be mounted at a height of at least 4.7 meters (60%
of 7.8 meters) above ground level (or clutter level).
3.4.3 Radio Antenna Alignment
Once the ProST is installed and aimed in the general direction of the base station, it is
recommended to measure the received signal strength (RSS) to determine the signal strength
received from the base station, and to precisely align the ProST for maximum signal strength. You
need to orientate (up/down, left/right) the ProST until the maximum RSSI levels are achieved, and
then secure the ProST. For viewing RSS values, see "Web-based Management" for standard
alignment, for finer alignment, see RSSI LED Plug Adapter.

5 Mounting the ProST
This section describes the mounting procedures for the ProST and the optional SDA-4S adapters.
Caution: The ProST device is an outdoor radio unit and therefore, must only
be mounted outdoors.
Caution: Mount the ProST in an orientation such that its 15-pin D-type port
(located on the bottom panel) faces downwards. This prevents rain water
from settling on the port, and thereby, avoiding damage to the unit such as
corrosion and electrical short-circuiting.
The ProST offers two optional methods for outdoor mounting:
Wall mounting
¾
¾
Pole mounting
For either mounting methods, the ProST provides mounting holes molded into its back panel for
attaching the wall or pole-mounting brackets, as displayed in the figure below.
Figure 16 ‐ ProST‐ rear view
Note: The standard ProST kit provides wall-mounting brackets. To pole
mount the ProST, contact your nearest Airspan distributor for pricing and
ordering of pole-mounting brackets.
Note: A minimum of 3-meter separation is required between mounted
ProSTs and existing customer radio equipment when transmitting on different
sectors (see figure below). However, only a 1-meter separation is required
between ProSTs when on the same sector and transmitting to the same base
station radio without requiring shielding (see figure below).
The figure below illustrates the minimum separation between mounted ProST's when transmitting
on different sectors:

6.2.2 Connecting the SDA-4S Type II, SDA-4S/VL Type II or SDA-4S/DC Type II
The SDA-4S Type II, SDA-4S/VL Type II or SDA-4S/DC adapters (referred hereafter as SDA-4S)
provide four RJ-45 (100BaseT) ports for interfacing with the subscriber's LAN network. The
difference between these adapters is that the SDA-4S/VL supports VLAN functionality at the
ports.
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. PC) determines the speed at which packets
are transmitted through the specific 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. Conversely, if the
device to which the port is connected is running at 10 Mbps, the port connection will transmit
packets at 10 Mbps
In addition, the SDA-4S ports support MDI/MDI-X automatic crossover, allowing connection to
straight-through or crossover CAT-5e cables. Therefore, these ports can be connected to either a
hub (i.e. using crossover cables) or a PC (i.e. using straight-through cables).

2. Feed the CAT 5e cable through the grommet (for each side). If the RJ-45 connector is
already crimped to the other end, ensure that you have fed the cable through the gland nut
beforehand. The gland nut secures the cable to the grommet.
3. Strip about 0.25" (6.35 mm) of the cable sheath and expose about 0.03" (0.8 mm) of the
strands/wires.
4. Secure the wires to the protector's terminal block using the two spot ties. Each side of the
data and DC assembly has + or – markings to ensure lines entering (surge side) match lines
exiting (protected side).

10 RSSI LED Plug Adapter for Antenna Alignment
The RSSI LED Plug is a small adapter that allows you to accurately position (align) the ProST for
optimal radio frequency signal reception with the Base Station. The RSSI LED Plug adapter
provides LEDs that indicate the ProST's received signal strength (RSS) with the Base Station.
Once the RSSI LED Plug adapter is connected, you need to orientate the ProST (or third-party
external antenna) to the position where the RSSI LEDs display the highest RSS measurements.
The RSSI LED Plug adapter connects between the ProST and SDA by a CAT 5e cable(s). The
RSSI LED Plug adapter provides two 15-pin D-type ports: one for the ProST side, and the other
for the SDA side.
The RSSI LED Plug adapter can be connected in one of the following manners:
¾
One end connects directly to the ProST's 15-pin D-type port, and the other end connects
to the SDA (IDU adapters) by a CAT 5e cable.
¾
Both ends connect to the ProST and SDA by a CAT 5e cable.
The following describes the RSS LED Plug adapter's cable setup:
¾
Cables: two straight-through cables for connecting the RSSI LED adapter to both the
SDA and ProST
¾
Connectors:
ProST side: 15-pin D-type male (only 6 pins used)
RSSI LED Plug adapter:
ProST side: 15-pin D-type female
SDA side: 15-pin D-type male
SDA side: 15-pin D-type male

Before connecting the power adapter to the ProST, you need to connect the AC power cable (that
connects to the subscriber’s power outlet) to the adapter, as described in the following procedure.
To connect the RSSI LED Plug Adapter:
1. Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at one end of the straight-through cable, to the
ProST.
2. Connect the 15-pin D-type female connector, at the other end of the straight-through cable
from the ProST, to the RSSI LED adapter.
3. Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at one end of the straight-through cable, to the
SDA.
4. Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at the other end of the straight-through cable
from the SDA, to the RSSI LED adapter.
Note: You can connect the RSSI LED Plug adapter's 15-pin male port
directly to the ProSt's 15-pin female port, instead of using a cable.

11 Connecting External Antenna
The ProST 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 ProST built-in antenna model. The external antenna is typically implemented in
scenarios where the ProST is deployed at relatively far distances from the base station.
Caution: Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the ProST is
not connected to the power source.
Caution: Before powering on the ProST, 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 irreversibly damaging the ProST
device.
Caution: It is the responsibility of the person installing the ProST to ensure
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.
Caution: The external antenna must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Caution: The ProST and external antenna should be installed ONLY by
experienced installation professionals who are familiar with the local building
and safety codes and are licensed by the appropriate government authorities.
Note: The ProST model that provides an N-type connector for attaching a
third-party external antenna does not contain an internal, built-in antenna.
Note: It is recommended that the same antenna polarization (i.e. horizontal
or vertical) exists at both ends of the link (i.e. base station and subscriber
site).
The following lists the cable setup for attaching the external antenna:
¾
Cable: RF coaxial
¾
Connector: N-type male
To connect a third-party external antenna to the ProST:
1. Connect the N-type male connector of the third-party antenna to the N-type receptacle
located on the ProST's bottom panel (labeled ANTENNA), as displayed below.
