MicroMAX Hardware Installation User Guide Page 16 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00068 Rev J 2 System Overview MicroMAX is a highly upgradeable Micro-cell base station, based on the Sequans System On a Chip (SOC), with a pole/roof (wall) mounted radio system and antennae. This high performance chip can support up to 28 + 28 MHz channels (full duplex) forms part of the AIRSPAN WIMAX portfolio of WiMAX network infrastructure equipment. It is compatible with the Airspan EasyST and ProST subscriber terminals and other manufacturer's CPEs that are fully WiMAX compliant. The MicroMAX BSR is an outdoor radio that is mounted outside on a pole or wall. The BSR provides a wireless link with subscribers and interfaces with the provider's backbone. The MicroMAX BSR is available in two models. These models differ by antenna design (providing integral flat-panel antennas, or an N-type port for attaching third-party external antennas). MicroMAX BSR is available in numerous frequency bands, operating in FDD and TDD modes in numerous channels see: MicroMAX Frequency Ranges. The BSR connects to the indoor Ethernet switch by a CAT-5e cable, which carries the Ethernet signal, and DC power. For a MicroMAX Base Station consisting of multiple BSRs, there are two (2) options. The BSRs can be connected to individual Subscriber Data Adapters (SDA-4S) or to Base Station Distribution Units (BSDU). For a Base Station consisting of a single BSR, the BSR typically connects to a single Subscriber Data Adapter (SDA-4S or SDA-4SDC). MicroMAX BSR provides a low cost, high-performance point-to multipoint packet-based Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) solution. MicroMAX BSR Provides wireless connectivity designed to deliver high-speed data, voice over IP (VoIP) and multimedia services to residential, SOHO (Small Office/Home Office), and SME (Small to Medium Enterprises). The MicroMAX is an encased outdoor radio providing access to the MicroMAX's communication ports on its bottom panel. The MicroMAX's back panel provides holes for mounting. MicroMAX BSR interfaces with the service provider's backbone through either: ¾ The SDA-4S Type II or the SDA-4SDC (referred henceforth as SDA-4S) integrated LAN switches. • SDA-4S Type II: integrated LAN switch, providing power and four 10/100BaseT ports for interfacing with the subscriber’s network • SDA-4SDC 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. ¾ Base Station Distribution Unit (BSDU) - provides an interface between multiple BSRs and the service provider's backbone. MicroMAX can be managed 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 MicroMAX using these MIBs. Basic management can be performed using any standard Web browser.

MicroMAX Hardware Installation User Guide Page 45 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00068 Rev J 9 Mounting the Base Station Radio (BSR) The MicroMAX BSR can be pole-mounted or wall-mounted (optional). Pole mounting allows the BSR to be easily adjusted in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation) planes for antenna alignment. For either mounting method, the MicroMAX provides mounting holes (displayed in the figure below), molded into its back panel for attaching the mounting brackets. Note: The BSR fully complies with IP Code - IPX6 for product enclosure protection. Warning: The BSR device is an outdoor radio unit, and therefore, must only be mounted outside. Warning: Warning: Mount the MicroMAX in an orientation such that its ports (located on the bottom panel) faces downwards. This prevents rain water from settling on the ports, and thereby, avoiding damage to the unit such as corrosion and electrical short-circuiting. Figure 25 - BSR- rear view Note: The standard BSR kit provides pole-mounting brackets. If you want to wall-mount the MicroMAX, contact your Airspan distributor for pricing and ordering of wall-mounting brackets.
MicroMAX Hardware Installation User Guide Page 46 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00068 Rev J 9.1 Pole-Mounting the BSR Pole mounting allows the MicroMAX to be easily adjusted in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation) planes for antenna alignment. The BSR is mounted using the mounting holes located on the BSR's back panel and the supplied pole-mounting brackets. The pole-mounting bracket is designed to support the BSR on a round pole of 45 mm in diameter. The figure below summarizes of the MicroMAX's pole-mounting procedure. Figure 26 - Pole mounting bracket To pole mount the MicroMAX BSR: 8. Attach the mounting bracket to the MicroMAX: a.

MicroMAX Hardware Installation User Guide Page 60 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00068 Rev J 13 Cabling the BSR Network cabling at the Base Station depends on the devices implemented to provide the BSR with connectivity to the provider's backhaul and power source. These devices can be one of the following: ¾ SDA: AC/DC powered and consisting of a single BSR ¾ BSDU: AC/DC powered and consisting of multiple BSRs Note: SFTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) CAT-5e outdoor cable is recommended. Note: If FM interference is discovered during installation, install a Ferrite suppressor on the CAT-5e cable, near BSR. See Lightning and Surge Protection. Refer to Commissioning Guide (Troubleshooting section) for further instructions. 13.1 Connecting the BSR to the SDA-4S The SDA-4S provides -48 VDC power to the BSR as well as the Fast Ethernet interface between the BSR and the provider's backhaul network. The outdoor Base Station Radio and modem are powered over a CAT-5e cable by the SDA-4S Type II IDU (or the SDA-4SDC) in the minimum configuration. For larger configurations N* SDA-4Ss and N* BSRs are required or connection to BSDU(s). Figure 42 - BSR front panel The BSR interfaces with the subscriber's Ethernet network through the SDA-4S. To connect the BSR to the SDA-4S, you need to connect the BSR's 15-pin D-type port to the SDA-4S's 15-pin D-type port using CAT-5e cable. The cable setup for MicroMAX-to-SDA-4S connectivity is as follows: ¾ Cable: Straight-through CAT-5e Ethernet cable ¾ Connectors: • MicroMAX: DB15-to-RJ45 outdoor adapter (black color) • SDA-4S: DB15-to-RJ45 indoor adapter (for connecting to DATA&PWR&SYNC D-type connector) • CAT-5e cable with 8-pin RJ-45 male connectors on either end ¾ Connector pinouts:
MicroMAX Hardware Installation User Guide Page 61 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00068 Rev J Figure 43 - Pinouts Note: 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-). Note: The maximum CAT-5e cable length for ODU/IDU connectivity is 100 meters. To connect the BSR to the SDA-4S: 1. Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at one end of the CAT-5e cable, to the BSR's 15-pin D-type port labeled DATA&PWR&SYNC. 2. Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at the other end of the CAT-5e cable, to the SDA-4S's 15-pin D-type port. 13.2 SDA-4S Type II The SDA-4S Type II (or the SDA-4SDC) provides one to four RJ-45 (100BaseT) ports for interfacing with the subscriber's LAN network. The ports of the SDA-4S model 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). The cable setup for SDA-4S LAN connectivity is as follows: ¾ Cable: Straight-through (e.g. when connecting to PC) or crossover (i.e. when connecting to a hub) CAT-5e Ethernet cable ¾ Connectors: 8-pin RJ-45 at both ends ¾ Connector pinouts: • Straight-through cable (e.g. connecting to a PC)

A hierarchy of recognized application methods should be applied according to site realities. This matrix is depicted below: Table 29 - Application matrix Exterior locationInterior LocationPeople SafetyStructure Safety Air Terminals Yes No No Yes Down Conductors Yes Yes No Yes Bonding Yes Yes Yes Yes Grounding Yes Yes Yes Yes Surge Protection Yes Yes Yes Yes 17.1.1 Air Terminals Lightning usually terminates on grounded objects sticking up in the air. This part of a lightning protection system (LPS) is based upon the principles of Path of Least Impedance. On telecom towers, ordinary sacrificial rods can protect sensitive antennae. In the main, the tower is the air terminal. the height (“H”) of the Air Terminal tip above the highest element on the tower or pole, typically the antenna, must be at least twice the distance (“2 x d”) between the outer surface of the antenna and the tower or pole. This will ensure a "protection cone" of 45º around the tower or pole. In areas of high lightning activity, the length (“H”) should be increased to up to 5 times the distance. The Down Conductor must be installed straight and vertically in order to provide the shortest and most direct path to earth. The formation of bends must be avoided. We recommend that the Down-Conductor be at least 50 mm2 or AWG 0 in all cases.
MicroMAX Hardware Installation User Guide Page 81 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00068 Rev J Figure 71 - Air Terminal Figure 72 - Termination and Tower 17.1.2 Grounding Low-resistance grounding provides an efficient destination for the "lightning." If the site soils are composed of sand or rock, they are resistive, not conductive. If the surrounding soils are clays or dirt with moisture present, they likely are conductive. "Good Grounds" are achieved by volumetric efficiencies. We recommend buried bare 4/0 copper wire – the so-called ring electrode or ring. The grounding of the Down Conductor to earth must be of ground resistance no higher than 5 Ω. This is achieved by using Earth Terminations and wherever possible, grounding to the steel re-enforcement bars of the concrete base of the tower. This constitutes a part of the safety network adapted to the electricity laws of the country, the terrain conditions, and the accepted and relevant standards for the country.
MicroMAX Hardware Installation User Guide Page 82 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00068 Rev J Note: The Grounding system must be maintained and checked periodically in accordance with local regulations. The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability. Hazardous network voltages are present in LAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is ON or OFF. To avoid electric shock , use caution when near LAN ports. When detaching the cables, detach the end away from the device first. Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during period of lightning activity. 17.1.3 Surge Suppression Surge suppression devices (LPS’s aka TVSS) all function either by absorbing the transient as heat or forcing the transient to ground (or some combination thereof). Data line building entry points for critical electronic equipment. Included here is Catting 5 lines, and twin lead and other copper wire circuits. The Lightning Protection architecture is considered, as follows: ¾ Subscriber Indoor Units connected to outdoor antennas. System, where Indoor/Outdoor connections are via shielded CAT-5e cables that carry the baseband signals and a DC supply voltage. ¾ The Lightning Protection System comprises grounding methods and Transient suppression techniques (TVS). Airspan products contain embedded Lightning Protectors at all their input ports. If additional protection is required, for example, in high lightning activity areas, external Lightning Protectors should be installed at strategic points at the site. The CAT-5e shielded outdoor cable consists of twisted pair wires for Ethernet data, pair of wires for the DC supply and pair of wires for sync. The Cable connects to the indoor unit via a grounded Lightning Protection Box. The Lightning Protection Box is connected to an Earth Termination via a Down-Conductor. General Installation

Therefore, you need to crimp the drain wire to the ring terminal and paired wires to the connector's contact pins. Required: ¾ CAT-5e SFTP cable ¾ Ring terminal and red insulation boot ¾ Crimping tool To crimp the CAT-5e SFTP “drain” wire to the ring terminal: 1. Carefully strip the insulation from the SFTP cable (5 – 10cm). Caution: Do not damage the insulation of the inner twisted pair wires. 2. Peel back the foil from around the wires. 3. Isolate the “drain” (ground) wire. 4. Crimp the ring terminal to the drain wire. Insert the wire into the ring terminal’s barrel, and then, with a standard crimping tool crimp the barrel tightly onto the wire. Fold back the drain wire with the ring terminal attached. 5. Strip the ends of the paired wires according to the connector. 6. Connect ground wire (with extension if required) to the tower. The figures and connections are displayed below:

MicroMAX Hardware Installation User Guide Page 87 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00068 Rev J ¾ Deployment of MicroMAX in geographical areas that frequently experience severe lightning storms The lightning and surge protector protects the ODU-to-IDU CAT-5e cable's six or eight (depending on configuration) (for GPS synchronization all 8 CAT-5e wires are used) 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 CA-5e cable that connects between the MicroMAX and the SDA-4S Type II (ODU). In other words, two CAT-5e cables are required for the following connections: ¾ MicroMAX-to-protector connection ¾ Protector-to-IDU connection Caution: 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 MicroMAX; the end labeled PROTECTED accepts the cable from the SDA-4S, or BSDU. 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). Note: Polyphaser should be installed close to the units but only externally.

MicroMAX Hardware Installation User Guide Page 92 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00068 Rev J 18 Connecting Third-Party External Antennas This section describes the procedures for connecting third-party external radio and Global Positioning System (GPS) antennas to the BSR and BSDU, respectively. The implementation of these antennas depends on the BSR model (with respect to radio antennas) and the need for synchronization of the system (with respect to GPS antennas). The MicroMAX BSR 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 MicroMAX BSR built-in antenna model. Caution: Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the MicroMAX is not connected to the power source. Caution: Before powering on the MicroMAX, 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 MicroMAX device. Caution: It is the responsibility of the person installing the MicroMAX 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 MicroMAX 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 MicroMAX model that provides an N-type connector for attaching a third-party external antenna does not contain an internal, built-in antenna.
MicroMAX Hardware Installation User Guide Page 93 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00068 Rev J 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 MicroMAX: ¾ Connect the N-type male connector of the third-party antenna to the N-type receptacle located on the MicroMAX's panel (labeled ANTENNA), as displayed below. Figure 87 - Antenna connection 18.1 Connecting GPS Antenna to BSDU Caution: To avoid electrical or fire hazard, ensure that the connection to the GPS is made prior to connecting the BSDU to the power supply. Caution: A primary lightning protection device must be provided by the operator/customer as part of an extra-building installation to ensure transient voltage levels of less than 600 V maximum. Caution: Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Airspan Networks Inc. could result in violation of Part 15 of the FCC rules. Caution: This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures to correct the interference. 18.1.1 Connecting the GPS The GPS antenna connects to the BSDU's 15-pin D-type port, labeled GPS, located on the BSDU's rear panel, as shown below. The connection to the GPS is made through a 12-pin RS-422 serial interface port that provides both communication and power interfaces.
MicroMAX Hardware Installation User Guide Page 94 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00068 Rev J Figure 88 - BSDU rear panel GPS port Caution: To avoid electrical or fire hazard, ensure that the connection to the GPS is made prior to connecting the BSDU to the power supply. The GPS-to-BSDU cable setup is as follows: ¾ Cable: 12-pin conductor cable for RS-422 serial interface (multipair overall shielded -- 22 AWG) of 5, 15, or 30 meters in length depending on customer requirements (100 meter maximum length) ¾ Connectors: • GPS side: RS-422 weathertight 12-pin plug (Deutsch MMP26C-2212S1) • BSDU side: 15-pin D-type male • Connector pinouts: The GPS connector receptacle contains 12 male contacts, as displayed below: Figure 89 - GPS connector pinouts

MicroMAX Hardware Installation User Guide Page 96 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00068 Rev J To connect the GPS antenna to the BSDU: 1. Connect the 12-pin female connector, at one end of the cable, to the 12-pin receptacle located on the underside of the GPS. 2. Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at the other end of the cable, to the 15-pin D-type port labeled GPS located on the rear panel of the BSDU. Figure 90 - GPS-to-BSDU cable connection Note: • When installing the cable, secure the cable to the mounting pole or bracket with a cable tie to hold the weight of the cable (i.e. cable strain relief). • A loop should be left in the dressed cable for maintenance purposes and to prevent the cable weight being taken directly on the connector itself. • Ensure that the connector is waterproof. 18.1.2 GPS Alignment Many GPS reception problems can be reduced, to some degree, by careful antenna site selection. ¾ Place the GPS so that unobstructed line-of-sight reception is possible from horizon to horizon and at all bearings and elevation angles from the antenna. This is the ideal situation, which may not be possible under actual operating conditions. ¾ Try to place the GPS as far as possible from reflective objects, especially reflective objects that are above its radiation pattern horizon. Close-in reflections cause strong multipath signals. ¾ Care should also be taken to avoid coiling the GPS cable around the mounting base and pinching the cable in windows or doors.
