Chapter 2 - BreezeCOMPACT Installation GPS Installation
2.6 GPS Installation
GPSs are used to synchronize the air link frames of Intra-site and Inter-site located sectors to ensure that
in all sectors the air frame starts at the same time, and that all sectors switch from transmit (downlink) to
receive (uplink) at the same time. This synchronization is necessary to prevent Intra-site and Inter-site
sectors interference and saturation (assuming that all sectors are operating with the same frame size and
with the same DL/UL ratio).
Usually the GPS is installed on the top of the tower, However it can be installed on the carriage with a
special mounting kit.
Make sure to position the GPS such that there is no obstacle (buildings, antennas, chimney, large trees,
etc.) casting a shadow over the GPS antenna. The GPS antenna should have 360° open sky with no
obstacles.

2.7.3 Connecting the Grounding Cable
Use 10 AWG cable for grounding.
When grounding the unit, use the GND (ground) screw on the unit as a grounding point. The Grounding
screw (marked ) is located on the connectors panel of the unit (see Figure 2-21).
1Connect one end of a grounding cable to the ground terminal and firmly tighten the grounding
screw.
2Connect the opposite end of the grounding cable to a ground connection.
2.7.4 Preparing and Connecting the Data Cable (RJ-45
Connector)
To prepare a Data cable, use either the cable kit available from Alvarion or one of the authorized
indoor-outdoor CAT 5E cables listed in Table 2-4, and follow the wiring instructions as detailed herein.
The Alvarion's cable kit includes an RJ-45 connector and a protective cover for the connector. This cable
should be used when the power is fed through the DC 48V connector.
When connecting any data equipment (switch, hub, PC) to the DAT 3 connector, use only a 4-wire cable,
connecting pins 1, 2, 3 and 6. Power on pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 may damage your equipment, therefore these
pins should not be connected.
When feeding power to a backhauling system, use an 8-wire cable. The following table shows the
required wire pair pin-to-pin connections, for 4-wire and 8-wire cables. + means connected, - means not
connected.
To connect the grounding cable:
NOTE!
It is recommended not to crimp 4-5 and 7-8 pairs as power might be fed towards the network device
connected to the BTS.

2.7.6 Connecting the GPS Cable
Connect the data cable to from the GPS to the GPS IN connector located on the BTS panel (see
Figure 2-21).
2.7.7 Using the Connector Sealing Accessories
The outdoor equipment is supplied with the connectors sealed with either flexible plastic covers, plastic
caps or sealing glands. Some of the cables provided by Alvarion are supplied crimped and with a sealing
gland already attached to them.
When there is a flexible cover and you need to use the connector, remove the cover and connect the
cable. Use appropriate sealing methods to ensure protection against rain and moisture.
When there is a cap covering the connector and you need to use the connector, add a sealing gland
before connecting the cable.
For connectors with a sealing gland, insert the cable into the gland before connecting it, as described in
the procedures below. There are two sizes of sealing glands, labeled 10.5 and 7.9 on their plug.
After connecting each cable, make sure that the nut of each sealing gland is properly tightened and that
the sealing gland is tightly attached to protective body of the connector to ensure proper sealing against
rain and moisture.
Use only the special wrench supplied with the equipment (see Figure 2-30).
Refer to Figure 2-16.
1Release the sealing gland nut from the gland base and remove the plug.
Figure 2-30: Sealing Gland Special Wrench
NOTE!
Unused connectors should always be sealed with the cover firmly tightened to the protective body of
the connector.

Chapter 2 - BreezeCOMPACT Installation System Initial Verification
2.8 System Initial Verification
After powerup, the BTS automatically starts a self-testing procedure to verify that the BTS has been
correctly assembled and installed on site, all its components are functioning properly, and that it is now
ready for commissioning. During the self-test, the LEDs indicate the working status of the various
components.
1Verify that the BTS is connected to an AC power source.
2Upon completion of the internal test and boot up (up to 5 minutes), verify that the following LEDs are
lit as follows:
Upon power-up completion, the BTS is ready for basic network definition.
To perform testing:
