Page 8
Commercial in Confidence
UGD-D00218 Rev A
uMAXe Installation Guide
be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is
practical.
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.
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.
- The AC wall outlet ground must be connected to the same grounding system as the BS.

uMAXe Installation Guide
Introduction
This section provides a descriptive overview of the uMAXe and its place in the product suite.
2.1 uMAXe
uMAXe is a highly integrated macro-cell base station with all-in-one packaging of RF and
baseband components. uMAXe includes integrated dual RF transceivers to support dual channel
diversity and MIMO. It is available as an all outdoor solution for Mobile WiMAX applications to
minimize physical footprint and operator OPEX.
uMAXe fully supports the interoperable R6 reference point for interworking with ASN Gateways.
uMAXe also has a “Stand Alone” mode for fixed/nomadic applications which do not require
seamless handover. When uMAXe is used in “Stand Alone” mode there is no need for an ASN
Gateway. uMAXe supports IP CS and Ethernet CS. It even supports a hybrid mode where both IP
CS and Ethernet CS (including VLAN support) are supported. uMAXe implements dual 40dBm
(10W) transmitters in 2.x GHz, dual 38 dBm (6.3W) in 1.4 GHz and dual 37dBm (5W) transmitters
in 3.x GHz band.
uMAXe is an outdoor radio that is mounted outside on a pole or wall. uMAXe is available in
numerous frequency bands and in numerous channels see: uMAXe Frequency Ranges.
uMAXe is managed by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using standard
and proprietary MIBs. Basic preliminary management can be performed using any standard Web
browser.
Note: For management refer to uMAXe Commissioning documentation.

Warning: Mount the junction box in an orientation such that the cable ports
(located on the bottom) face downwards. This prevents rain water from
settling on the ports, thereby, avoiding damage.

For either mounting method, the mounting bracket provides mounting holes (displayed below):
Figure 26 - mounting bracket (2 required)
5.8.1 Junction Box Installation
To install the junction box:
1. Prior to installation connect the 2 mounting brackets to the back of the junction box
fastening to the provided holes. The wall mounting hole orientation should be towards the
outer edges of the junction box.
2. Remove the junction box‟s cover, leaving the rubber gasket in place.
3. Prepare the cables for connection by performing the following:
a. Strip about 25.4 mm (1 inch) of the outer jacket of the cable to expose the wires.
b. Using a wire-stripping tool, expose about 6.3 mm (0.25 inch) of each of the wires by
stripping the wires‟ insulation.
4. Determine which cable entry holes are to be used and remove the appropriate plug.
Table 20 - Cable hole sizes
Cable Entry hole determination
Gland hole PG11 (M18) for cable terminating at MicroMAXe
Gland hole PG29 (M36) for cable 12AWG x6

5. Remove the nut on the weatherproof connector and slide the rubber grommet onto the
threaded shaft.
6. Set the weatherproof connector into the hole and from inside the box, thread the included
nut onto the shaft until tight.
7. Insert the exposed wires into the relevant screw-type terminal block (+ to + and – to –)
and then secure them in place by tightening the screw of each terminal.
8. Fasten the Junction box onto the pole or wall as required within the required distance of
the uMAXe enclosure.
9. Perform the same procedure (steps 3-7) with the cable terminating in the in the uMAXe
enclosure.
10. Open the connector clamp collar and feed about 101.6 mm (4 inches) of cable from the
uMAXe through it and into the box. Tighten the collar around the cable, forcing the seal to
compress around the cable.
11. Replace the cover by using the four (4) screws, ensuring the gasket (for weatherproofing)
is firmly in place on the rim of the cover.
Note: It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for the cables. Create a
drip loop and strain relief using cable tie, to tie cable to pole.
