12 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-of-sight (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. 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.

605-0000-706 ProST Installation User Guide-Rev H 16 ProST Block Diagram The figure below displays a block diagram of the ProST: ProST Protocol Stack The figure below displays a block diagram of the ProST's network architecture, designed as a hierarchy of protocols (i.e. protocol stack) implemented in the communication network.
System Overview 17 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, and maximum jitter. 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.

Required Tools The following tools are required to install the ProST unit: Crimping tool for crimping CAT-5 cables to RJ-45 connectors Cable stripping tool Wall Mounting: o drill bits o 4 x wall anchors o 4 x screws
Installation Prerequisites 19 o Philips head screwdriver o Flat-blade screwdriver o A/F open ended spanner Crimping tool for crimping RF cable to N-type connector (only relevant when implementing external antenna) 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. Radio Site Planning Proper site selection and planning before installing your ProST will ensure a successful deployment of your AS.MAX system. Site planning includes the following main considerations: Minimum obstructions (e.g. buildings) in the radio path between base station and the ProST. Mount radios as high as possible to avoid obstructions in the wireless path. Check possibility of future obstructions such as plans to erect buildings and trees that may grow tall enough to obstruct the wireless path. Minimum incursions on Fresnel Zone (recommended minimum of 60% clearance of first Fresnel Zone). Align antenna for maximizing received signal strength (RSS). Consider nearby sources of interference that could degrade performance of radio. Mount radios as far from sources of interference as possible. Ensure base station and ProST are within maximum coverage range of reception. Maximum standard CAT-5 cable length connecting the outdoor ProST to the indoor SDA is 100 meters. Minimal Radio Path Obstructions AS.MAX 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. It is essential that the radios or antennas be installed in such a way that their radio paths have a clear path with each other. Fresnel Zone Clearance There must be 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.
605-0000-706 ProST Installation User Guide-Rev H 20 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: 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,
Installation Prerequisites 21 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). 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). Multipath Fading Some of the transmitted signals may be reflected from a nearby building, by water under the signal path, or from any other reflectors. This reflected ("bounced") signal can then be received by the radio receiving the signal and superimposed on the main received signal, thereby degrading the signal strength. To avoid multipath fading from nearby buildings etc., Airspan recommends installing the outdoor radios at the rear end of the buildings instead of at the front. When you install at the rear end of the building, the front-end of the building blocks incoming signals from multipath reflections. 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.

605-0000-706 ProST Installation User Guide-Rev H 26 Ports The SDA-4S Type II and SDA-4S/VL Type II adapters provide ports on their bottom panels, which are described in the table below: Port Interface 4 x 8-pin RJ-45 10/100BaseT with subscriber's network (supports Auto Negotiation and MDI/MDI-X automatic crossover, allowing connection of straight-through or crossover cables) 15-pin D-type (female) 10/100BaseT with ProST AC power socket Subscriber's power outlet (110/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz) Note: 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 SDA-4S 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 cables. LEDs The LEDs description for all SDA-4S types is the same as for the SDA-4SDC below.

30 MOUNTING THE PROST This section describes the mounting procedures for the ProST and the optional SDA-4S adapters. Mounting the ProST Warning: ProST is an outdoor radio unit and therefore, must only be mounted outdoors. Warning: 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 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. 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. The figure below illustrates the minimum separation between mounted ProST's when transmitting on different sectors:
Mounting the ProST 31 Wall Mounting The ProST is wall mounted in two main stages: Attaching the mounting bracket to the ProST's mounting holes Attaching the mounting bracket (attached to the ProST) to the wall To wall mount the ProST: 1. Position the unassembled mounting bracket on the mounting surface (e.g. wall), and then use a pencil to mark the position of the four mounting holes. Ensure that the distance between the hole centers are 120 mm (height) and 60 mm (width), as displayed in the figure below showing the ProST's fixing dimensions. 2. Drill holes for each hole that you marked in the step above.
605-0000-706 ProST Installation User Guide-Rev H 32 3. Insert wall anchors (not supplied) into each of the drilled holes. 4. Align the mounting bracket's four holes with the wall anchors, and then insert a screw (not supplied) through the mounting bracket holes into each wall anchor, and tighten. Note: Airspan does not provide screws for attaching the mounting bracket to the wall. The screw size depends on the structure of the building to which the bracket 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. 5. Attach the ProST to the mounting bracket by performing the following: a. Slide an M10-spring lock washer and then an M10-plain washer onto each M10-hex head screw (ensure lock washer is nearest to head of screw bolt). b. Align the mounting bracket's holes with the ProST's mounting holes as displayed below. (The mounting bracket side that provides a groove for inserting a nut must be aligned with the ProST's mounting hole that is nearest to the ProST's rear panel.) c. From the external sides, insert the M10-hex head screws through the mounting bracket's holes and ProST's mounting holes. Loosely fasten with the M10-hex nuts.
Mounting the ProST 33 6. Adjust the horizontal positioning of the ProST, and then tighten the two M10-hex head screws with the M10 hex nuts. Note: A third-party thread-locking compound must be applied to the M10-hex head screws to prevent the bolts from working loose. Rotation is restricted in the horizontal plane only, as shown in the figure below: Pole Mounting Pole mounting allows the ProST to be easily adjusted in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation) planes for antenna alignment. The ProST is mounted using the mounting holes located
605-0000-706 ProST Installation User Guide-Rev H 34 on the ProST's back panel and the supplied (when ordered) pole-mounting brackets. The pole-mounting bracket is designed to support the ProST on a round pole of 45 mm in diameter. The figure below illustrates a summary of the ProST pole-mounting procedure. To pole mount the ProST: 1. Attach the mounting bracket to the ProST: a. Align the mounting bracket with the ProST's mounting holes so that the mounting bracket's side with the built-in nut is aligned with the ProST's mounting holes furthest from the ProST's bottom panel, as shown in the figure below. b. Slide an M10-flat washer and M10-spring lock washer onto an M10-hex head screw (ensure spring lock washer is closest to the bolt's head). From the external side, insert the M10-hex head screw through the mounting bracket and ProST's mounting holes. Fasten the M10-hex head screw (one is provided with a built-in nut while the other requires you to insert an M10-hex nut into the ProST's mounting hole).
Mounting the ProST 35 2. Attach the clamping bracket to the mounting bracket: a. Slide an M6-spring lock washer onto an M6-hex head screw. Align the mounting bracket's and clamping bracket's pivot holes, such that the clamping bracket is aligned to the inside of the mounting bracket. From the external side of the mounting bracket, insert the M6-hex head screw into the pivot holes and then fasten, but not tightly. (The clamping bracket provides a built-in nut.) b. Choose an elevation hole on the mounting bracket and then align it with the corresponding hole on the clamping bracket. Slide an M6-spring lock washer onto an M6-hex head screw, and then from the external side of the mounting bracket, insert the M6-hex head screw through the elevation hole on the mounting bracket and into the clamping bracket's corresponding hole. Fasten but not tightly the M6-hex head screw (the clamping bracket provides built-in nut). The elevation hole can later be changed according to desired antenna orientation in the elevation plane.
605-0000-706 ProST Installation User Guide-Rev H 36 3. Attach the U-bolt to the pole: a. Place one U-bolt around the pole, and then insert the U-bolt screw side through the two corresponding holes (horizontally parallel) on the clamping bracket. Slide an M8-flat washer and M8-spring lock washer onto each U-bolt screw side (ensure that the flat washer is adjacent to the clamping bracket). Fasten each U-bolt side with the two M8-hex nuts. b. Attach the second U-bolt as described above. 4. Perform final ProST orientation: a. Adjust the vertical position of the ProST by choosing a final elevation hole as described in Step 2. Lock the ProST at the desired position by inserting the locking bolt in the desired position and fastening it tightly. Fasten tightly the bolt in the pivot hole. The figure below illustrates the angles (in degrees) of each elevation hole. As shown, the ProST pole-mounting bracket allows elevation between -18.5° and 26.3°.
Mounting the ProST 37 b. Adjust the horizontal position of the ProST by rotating it about the pole, and then tightening the nuts of the U-bolts. Note: A thread-locking compound must be used to prevent the bolts from working loose. ProST positioning is obtained in two planes by adjustment of the mounting bracket assembly as shown below: Note: It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for Cat-5 cables. Create a drip loop and strain relief using cable tie, to tie cable to pole, as displayed in the figure below.
605-0000-706 ProST Installation User Guide-Rev H 38 SDA-4S The SDA-4S adapters (all types) can be mounted either horizontally on a desktop or vertically on a wall. Desktop Mounting Desktop mounting is made possible by the existence of four feet, each located on the four corners of the SDA-4S bottom panel. Therefore, no installation is necessary for desktop mounting. Warning: To prevent a fire hazard caused by overheating, do not place the SDA-4S on a carpeted surface where airflow is restricted. Wall Mounting Wall mounting is made possible by the existence of two mounting hooks molded into the SDA-4S's bottom panel, as displayed in the figure below. To wall mount the SDA: 1. On the wall, mark the position of the two mounting hooks. The dimensions of the wall-mounting hooks are displayed in the template below.
Mounting the ProST 39 2. Drill holes for each hole that you marked in the step above. 3. Insert wall anchors (supplied) into each of the drilled holes. 4. Insert the 9-inch screws (supplied) into the wall anchors. Ensure at least 2 mm of the screw is exposed to allow insertion into the SDA-4S mounting holes. 5. Hold the SDA-4S with both hands, and align the entrance to the two mounting hooks with the screws. Slide the screws into the mounting hooks, by lowering the SDA-4S onto the screws. Note: For safety, use both mounting hooks to mount the unit. Note: The SDA-4S is supplied with a 1 meter AC power lead assembly. Ensure the unit is mounted within 1 meter of the main power outlet. Note: The maximum cable run between SDA-4S and ProST is 100 meters.
40 NETWORK CABLING ProST interfaces with the subscriber's network through the IDU (i.e. typically the SDA-1 Type II, or optionally through the SDA-4S Type II, SDA-4S/VL Type II or SDA-4S/DC). The ProST also receives DC power from the IDU. This section describes the ProST network cabling: Connecting ProST to IDU Connecting IDU to a Computer Connecting to IDU The ProST typically interfaces with the subscriber's network using the indoor SDA-1 Type II adapter. However, optional IDU adapters (SDA-4S Type II, SDA-4S/VL Type II or SDA-4S/DC) are offered that provide multiple LAN ports for interfacing with the subscriber's network. Using the SDA-1 Type II The ProST connects to the SDA-1 using a CAT 5 cable with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors on either end. The ProST provides a 15-pin D-type port for interfacing with the SDA-1. However, for allowing the use of RJ-45 connectors, your ProST kit includes a DB15-to-RJ45 adapter that can easily be attached to the ProST's 15-pin D-type port. The cable setup for ProST-to-SDA-1 connectivity is as follows: Cable: Straight-through CAT 5 Ethernet cable Connectors: o ProST: DB15-to-RJ45 adapter o CAT 5 cable with 8-pin RJ-45 male connectors on either end Connector pinouts: Note: The SDA-1 Type II is protected in the event power is inadvertently inserted to the radio port so as not to damage the Ethernet card. Note: A DB15-to-RJ45 adapter for plugging into the ProST's 15-pin D-type port (with pins 7 & 8 not connected) is included, replacing previous adapter.
Network Cabling 41 Notes: • Only pins 1 to 6 are used. • Pins 7 and 8 must not be wired to the ProST end. • The wire color-coding described in the table is Airspan's standard for wire color-coding. However, if you implement your company's wire color-coding scheme, ensure that the wires are paired and twisted according to pin functions listed in the table above (e.g. Rx+ with Rx-). • The maximum CAT 5 cable length for ODU/IDU connectivity is 100 meters. To connect the ProST to the SDA-1: 1. Attach the DB15 side of the DB15-to-RJ45 adapter to the ProST's 15-pin D-type port (female), labeled DATA & PWR. 2.

Plug the supplied Category 5 Ethernet cable into the SDA-1's RJ-45 port labeled LAN/PC. 2. Plug the loose end of the Category 5 Ethernet cable into the computer's LAN port.
Network Cabling 45 Using 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-5 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). The cable setup for SDA-4S LAN connectivity is as follows:

Connecting to Power 53 AC Power Source ProST is powered from an AC power source when implementing the SDA-1 Type II, which is plugged directly into a standard electrical wall outlet (110/240 VAC). The optional IDU adapters (SDA-4S Type II and SDA-4S/VL Type II) also power ProST from the subscriber's AC electrical wall outlet. The difference between the SDA-1 Type II and SDA-4S Type II adapters is the method of connectivity to the power outlet, as discussed in the subsections below. Using SDA-1 Type II The SDA-1 Type II is plugged directly into a standard electrical wall outlet ((110/240 VAC). The SDA-1 Type II also allows easy plug prongs replacement to suit the electrical wall socket (e.g. American vs. European type) of the geographical location in which the ProST is being installed. The AC power cabling consists of the following stages: Changing SDA-1 Type II plug prongs Plugging SDA-1 into wall outlet Changing the SDA-1 Type II Plug Prongs The SDA-1 Type II allows you to attach plug prongs suited to the electrical wall socket of the country in which you are installing the equipment. Therefore, before plugging the SDA-1 Type II into the electrical outlet, ensure that the correct prongs are attached to the SDA-1 Type II. To change the SDA-1 Type II plug prongs: 1. On the rear of the SDA-1 Type II, slide the locking switch to OPEN. 2. Remove the prongs by sliding the prongs in the direction away from the switch. 3. Insert the desired prongs by aligning the prongs with the SDA-1 Type II's prong groove, and then sliding the prongs onto the SDA-1 Type II until it reaches the end of the groove. 4. Lock the prongs in place by moving the switch to LOCK.
605-0000-706 ProST Installation User Guide-Rev H 54 Plugging the SDA-1 Type II into an Electrical Wall Outlet After you have attached the suitable plug prongs onto the SDA-1 Type II , you can plug it into a standard electrical wall outlet (110/240 VAC), as illustrated below.

Connecting to Power 57 CONNECTING POWER CABLE FOR SDA-4SDC Power Cable Connection In the SDA-4SDC installation Kit there are two polarized and genderless unassembled Anderson Powerpole power connectors: red for positive connection and black for the negative connection. Power connectors (Anderson Powerpole) The power connectors consist of housing (hood and a contact pins). The contact pin is displayed below: Housing the Connectors The power connectors are supplied unassembled. Therefore, you need to crimp the power wires to the connector's contact pins, and then house them in the Powerpole hood. Crimping the power wires to the connectors: 1. Insert the wire into the contact pin's barrel, and then, with a standard crimping tool crimp the barrel tightly onto the wire (recommended 16 AWG cable wire). 2. Insert the contact into the hood with the contact's tongue pointing downwards and snap into place. Ensure that the housing spring mates with the underside of the contact's tongue. Connecting to the SDA-4SDC Once you have crimped the power cord to the Powerpole connectors, connect the power connectors to the SDA-4SDC power receptacles. To connect the power cord to the SDA-4SDC Note: The plastic housings are held together with dovetail joints. Always slide these joints together! They will be damaged if you try to snap them together or apart. They ONLY slide together in one direction. This should be obvious looking at them carefully.
605-0000-706 ProST Installation User Guide-Rev H 58 1. Assemble the red and black plastic housings together. Mate both connectors, by sliding them along the dovetail joints. When looking at the connector side (not the wire side), the red connector should be on the left and the black on the right. The housing dovetails should be mated fully. 2. Connect the power connectors to the SDA-4SDC power receptacles so that the connectors' color matches the receptacle's color, red to red (positive), and black to black (negative). 3. Connect the other end of the power cord to the third-party DC power source. Ensure that the positive and negative sides are correct.
59 CONNECTING LIGHTNING AND SURGE PROTECTOR The optional third-party lightning and surge protector (PolyPhaser) is implemented in the following deployment scenarios: ODU-to-IDU cable length of 40 meters or more (optional to use surge protector unless required by local law) Deployment of CPE in geographical areas that frequently experience severe lightning storms The lightning and surge protector protects the ODU-to-IDU CAT 5e cable's six used wires (two -48 VDC wires and four Ethernet Tx and Rx wires) from any electrical surges due to lighting strikes. The protector is installed outdoors on the CAT 5e cable that connects between the CPE and the SDA. In other words, two CAT 5e cables are required for the following connections: CPE-to-protector connection Protector-to-IDU connection Warning: Do not install the lightning and surge protector during adverse weather conditions when the threat of lightning strike is possible. Note: The protector unit must be grounded to a low-impedance (low R and low L) ground system to operate properly. Note: For pricing and ordering of the PolyPhaser lightning and surge protector, contact your Airspan representative. To install the lightning protector: 1. Connect the protector in the direction according to the labels. The end labeled SURGE accepts the cable from the ProST; the end labeled PROTECTED accepts the cable from the IDU. 2. Feed the CAT 5 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).

64 RSSI LED PLUG ADAPTER Antenna Alignment using RSSI LED Plug Adapter 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 5 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: 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 5 cable. Both ends connect to the ProST and SDA by a CAT 5 cable. The following describes the RSS LED Plug adapter's cable setup: Cables: two straight-through cables for connecting the RSSI LED adapter to both the SDA and ProST Connectors: o ProST side: 15-pin D-type male (only 6 pins used) o RSSI LED Plug adapter: o ProST side: 15-pin D-type female o SDA side: 15-pin D-type male o SDA side: 15-pin D-type male

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. The following diagram illustrates the RSSI LED plug connections:

67 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. Warning: Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the ProST is not connected to the power source. Warning: 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. Warning: 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. Warning: The external antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Warning: 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: Cable: RF coaxial Connector: N-type male To connect a third-party external antenna to the ProST: 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.

Telephone (44) 1 895 467450. 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.
Warnings and Cautions 77 - 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.
