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.
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:
WiFi and LAN Switch (EasyWiFi module)
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.

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.
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.
14
System Overview
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 and primary 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 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 BS retrieves all the EasyST's configuration parameters (service flows)
from the database and downloads them to the EasyST device.

MOUNTING
Warning: 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:
High quality RF reception with the Internet service provider (i.e. base station)
Accessibility to power supply and LAN network with regards to cable lengths
The mounting options of the EasyST depend on the antenna configuration:
EasyST with clip-on antenna: mounted horizontally on a desktop
EasyST with window-mount external antenna:
Horizontally on a desktop
Vertically on a wall
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.
Warning: To prevent a fire hazard caused by overheating, do not place the EasyST on
a carpeted surface where airflow is restricted.
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 wall, the
EasyST provides two mounting hooks molded into EasyST's bottom panel, as shown below:
27
605-0000-701 EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide Rev H
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:
28
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.
Mounting

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:
Therefore, for optimal reception, simply move the EasyST to the position that lights up a longer
signal LED line.
30
Optimizing RF Reception
31
605-0000-701 EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide Rev H
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.

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:
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.
Location of mounted EasyST provides insufficient signal strength due to obstacles between
the EasyST and ISP (i.e. AS.MAX 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:
Attaching the antenna's RF cable to the EasyST
Mounting the external antenna to a window
For a detailed list of the specifications of the external antenna, see Window-Mount Antenna
Specifications.
Attaching the Antenna RF Cable
Warning: 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.
33
605-0000-701 EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide Rev H
Warning: Do not rotate the clip-on antenna until it has detached entirely from the
EasyST.
34
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.
3.
Plug the external antenna's MCX connector into the EasyST's MCX female connector, as
shown below.
Connecting the External 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.
Note: If you later decide to disconnect the external antenna and reconnect the clip-on
antenna, see Replacing the Clip-On Antenna.
35
605-0000-701 EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide Rev H
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:
Antenna's front panel (narrow edge) is mounted flat against the window (typical
orientation)
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:
36
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.

Note: When mounted on its side panel, some loss in gain may be incurred.
The figure below displays the antenna mounted on a window using the antenna's side panel.
38
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 window-mount
antenna, you may want to discontinue using the external antenna and replace it with the clip-on
antenna.
Warning: 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.
2.
Unplug the external antenna's MCX connector from the EasyST's MCX jack.
3.
Align the clip-on antenna's knob with the EasyST's notch, as shown in the figure below.
39
605-0000-701 EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide Rev H
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.
5.
For customers possessing EasyST models that implement a screw mechanism for securing
the antenna to the EasyST, continue with the following steps:
a.
40
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.
Replacing the Clip-On Antenna
b.
Using a Philips screwdriver, tighten the screw so that the antenna is firmly attached to
the EasyST.
41
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:
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
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
Maximum Tx Power - defines the maximum Tx power, to meet the regulations of the
region
42
RESETTING EASYST TO DEFAULT SETTINGS
The EasyST allows you to apply factory default configuration settings to the EasyST. This is
performed by pressing the LED button (located below the LED lights on the top panel) continuously
for at least 10 seconds.
43
TROUBLESHOOTING

1.8 Lightning Protection
WARNING: The following notes are general recommendations for the system. The wireless
equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer and must follow local and
national codes for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements
and/or use of non-standard practices and procedures could result in personal injury and
damage to equipment. A direct lightning strike may cause serious damage even if these
guidelines are followed.
All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit or induced
current from a near strike. Lightning protection and grounding practices in local and national
electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, service outages, and serious injury.
Reasons for lightning damage are summarized as:
- Poorly grounded tower/antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into
equipment.
- Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment that can cause equipment failures
from lightning induced currents.
A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth without
passing through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning protection system does not
prevent lightning from striking; it provides a means for controlling it and preventing damage
by providing a low resistance path for the discharge of energy to travel safely to ground.
Improperly grounded connections are also a source of noise that can cause sensitive
equipment to malfunction.
A good tower grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a tower strike away
from the building and equipment. The remaining energy on the RF cable shield and center
conductor can be directed safely to ground by using a lightning arrestor in series with the RF
cable.
To limit the equipment damage due to a lightning strike, the following practices are
recommended for the wireless system:
- Provide direct grounding from the antenna mounting bracket, the radio and antenna and
the lightning arrestors to the same ground point at the base of the tower or a ground bus on
the building. Use the grounding screws on the antenna bracket and the radio and antenna for
terminating the ground wires.
51
605-0000-701 EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide Rev H
- Install one RF lightning protector between the radio and antenna in series with the RF
cable.
- A lightning arrestor in series with the RF cable at the point of entry to the building.
- Install a lightning arrestor in series with the IF cable at the transceiver on the tower/mast.
- The AC wall outlet ground for the MacroMAX terminal must be connected to the same
grounding system as the radio and antenna lightning protectors.
