Chapter 2 - Installation Installing the ODU of the PRO CPE
BreezeMAX PRO 5000 CPE 14 Product Manual
2.1.1.3 Optional Items
Tilt Pole Mounting kit*.
2.1.2 Guidelines for Positioning the ODU
This section provides key guidelines for selecting the optimal installation locations
for the ODU.
Select the optimal locations for the equipment using the following guidelines:
The ODU should be mounted on a 1"-4" pole. Its location should enable easy
access to the unit and its connectors for installation and testing.
The higher the placement of the ODU, the better the achievable link quality.
The ODU should be installed to provide a direct, or near line of sight with the
BTS antenna(s). The ODU should be aligned to face the general direction of the
BTS.
In some cases it might be necessary to up/down-tilt the antenna. An optional
Tilt accessory for the ODU providing a tilt range of +/-15° is available. The tilt
option may be necessary to either improve the link conditions or, if the SU is
too close to the BTS, to reduce the receive signals strength. As a rule of thumb,
if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the BTS, it is
recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15° (especially in
line-of-sight conditions) to avoid saturation of the receivers by too strong
signals.
NOTE
Items marked with an asterisk (*) are available from Alvarion.
CAUTION
ONLY experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes
and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities should

The LINK QUALITY bar display on the SAU comprises 9 LEDs:
The WLNK LED indicates that the wireless link is active, and is lit when the SU
has completed the Network Entry process.
LEDs 1 to 8 (green) and 9 (red) indicate the quality of the received signal. The
higher the number of LEDs illuminating, the better the quality of the received
signal.
If all LEDs, including LED 9 (red) are on, the received signal strength is too
high. This must be avoided, preferably by up-tilting the antenna. As a rule of
thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the BTS,
it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15°.

1Point the antenna toward the general direction of the BTS.
2Connect the SAU to the ODU.
3Verify that the PWR (power) indication on the SAU is on.
4Verify that the WLNK LED indicator is on, indicating that the unit is
synchronized with a BS. If the SU is not synchronized with a BS, ensure that
all parameters are configured properly. If the unit is still not synchronized with
a BS, improve the quality of the link by changing the direction of the antenna
or by placing the antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location.
5Rotate (and/or tilt if applicable) the ODU until the maximum link quality
reading is achieved. If you encounter prolonged difficulty in achieving the
expected link quality, try to improve the reception quality by placing the ODU
at a higher point or in an alternate location.
6Secure the ODU firmly to the pole.
NOTE
Ensure that the front of the antenna is always facing the BTS. However, in certain conditions, such
as when the line of sight to the BTS is hampered, better reception may be achieved using a
reflected signal. In this case, the antenna is not necessarily directed toward the BTS.
Chapter 3 - Commissioning Operation Verification
BreezeMAX PRO 5000 CPE 39 Product Manual
3.4 Operation Verification
To verify proper operation of the PRO CPE, examine the LED indicators on the IDU
(see Table 2-5) and the SAU (see Table 3-2).
To verify proper connection to the end-user's data equipment, examine the
Ethernet Integrity and Ethernet Activity LEDs of the Ethernet connectors.
To verify data connectivity, from the end-user's PC or from a portable PC
connected to the unit, ping a known device in the network, or connect to the
Internet.

BreezeMAX PRO 5000 CPE 42 Product Manual
4.1 Introduction to SU Management
The units support the TR-069 CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP), allowing
efficient management by an Auto Configuration Server (ACS).
In addition, configuration and performance monitoring of a single unit can be
performed either locally (via the Ethernet port) or remotely using any of the
following options:
Using a PC/Notebook with an http browser to access the built-in web
configuration server.
Using TFTP to upload/download a Configuration File.
For local management, the management IP address is 192.168.254.251 with
subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Remote (over the air) management is done using a WAN management IP address
acquired from a DHCP server as a part of the Network Entry process. The DHCP
server should supply also the IP address of the ACS management station. Remote
management service is always in IP CS service mode (even if the unit uses
Ethernet CS for regular services). In the uplink, the DSCP value of management
packets sent by the unit can be configured only by the remote management
system using TR-069 (the default is 6). In downlink management packets the
DSCP value is ignored.
The Web Configuration Server enables the configuration of all SU parameters
using a Notebook/PC with a web browser. It also enables downloading of SW files,
control of the running SW version, and downloading/uploading of the
configuration file, enabling simplified and faster configuration process.
The Web Configuration Server also provides a selection of performance monitoring
capabilities, allowing installers and technicians to view information on link quality
and traffic counters. These monitoring capabilities enable performance
verification and problems identification.
To further support local testing, the program also enables temporary control of the
ATPC mechanism.

4.5.4 SW Versions Control
The SU can contain two SW versions:
Main: Normally, each time the SU resets it will reboot using the version
defined as Main.
Shadow: Normally the Shadow version is the backup version. Each time a new
SW File is downloaded to the SU, it will be stored as a Shadow version,
replacing the previous Shadow Version.
The typical process of upgrading to a new SW version includes the following steps:
1Download the new SW file to the SU. It will be stored as the Shadow version.
2Reset and run the unit from its Shadow version. Note that if the new SW file
was loaded from StarACS, the Run from Shadow operation will be performed
automatically.
3If the unit succeeded to complete network entry, the Shadow and Main
versions will be swapped automatically: The currently running version will be
defined as Main and will be used each time the unit reboots. The previous
version is defined now as Shadow.

Chapter 4 - Operation BST/AU Parameters
BreezeMAX PRO 5000 CPE 61 Product Manual
4.7 BST/AU Parameters
The quest for load sharing together with the desire to create best throughput
conditions for the SU created the need for the Best BS feature, to enable an SU to
connect to the best BS in its neighborhood.
The SU scans a set of frequencies (see “Radio Parameters” on page 65) searching
for BSs it can communicate with. Each BS in the network is configured with a
unique BS ID. The BS ID parameters in the SU define a set of BS IDs, and the SU
is allowed to communicate only with BSs whose BS ID is included in the BS IDs
range defined by the applicable parameters. Each of the BSs with which the SU
can communicate (perform initial phase of network entry) is given a quality mark
based on the quality of the signal at which it is received by the SU. At the end of
the scanning period, the SU reaches a Best BS decision according to the
information gathered. The BS with the highest quality mark is selected as the Best
BS, and the SU will immediately try to associate with it at the relevant
frequency/bandwidth.
The range used for scanning is defined by the BS ID and BS ID Mask parameters.
The initial range can be limited by defining a preferred range of BSs, and selecting
the best BS in the preferred range. If no device is found in the preferred range, the
SU will scan the entire range.
A Mobility Mode parameter enables supporting optimal performance after loosing
connectivity to the BS according to the expected mobility of the SU: A Mobile SU is
expected to move among different BSs, while a Nomadic SU is typically stationary
although it may also be moved to the coverage area of a different BS.
If a Nomadic SU loses communication with the selected BS, it will continue
searching for it for 5 minutes. If not found within 5 minutes, the SU initiates a
short scan and will try to associate with the second BS in the of Best BS Table and
so on, checking all the BSs in the table, and trying to associate with the best one.
If no BS from the table is found, the Best BSs table will be cleared and the SU will
initiate a Full Scan (all defined scanning frequencies/bandwidths and all BSs in
the defined range).
The same process will be executed also for a Mobile SU, with one exception: The
SU will search for the BS to which it was previously connected only for 100
milliseconds to allow faster association with a new BS.
The same process will be executed following a reset of the SU, with the exception
that the SU will search for the BS to which it was previously connected for one
minute only.

4.8.2 Frequency Scanning
The Frequency Scanning page enables viewing and updating the set of frequencies
to be used during the scanning process. The list of frequencies that participate in
the scanning process includes a set of frequencies belonging to the scanning
range and/or a set of up to 10 discrete frequencies.
The scanning range is defined by Start Rx Frequency, End Rx Frequency,
Scanning Main Step and Intermediate Steps. The set of frequencies to be scanned
is defined as follows:
The “Main Frequencies” are defined by the Start Frequency and Main Step, using
the formula F(N) =Start Frequency + N*Main Step;
Figure 4-11: Radio - Show Page
Chapter 4 - Operation Radio Parameters
BreezeMAX PRO 5000 CPE 66 Product Manual
F(1) = Start Frequency + Main Step, F(2) = Start Frequency +2*Main Step,...
End Frequency is the upper limit.
The Intermediate Steps can be used to define additional frequencies using a finer
resolution. The intermediate steps are defined as follows:
For example, If Steps B0, B1 and B4 are enabled and all other steps are disabled,
the scanned frequencies are: Start Frequency, Start Frequency + 125 KHz, Start
Frequency + 500 KHz, Start Frequency +N*Main Step, Start Frequency +N*Main
Step + 125 KHz, Start Frequency +N*Main Step + 500 KHz (N=1, 2,...). End
Frequency is the upper limit for the scanned frequencies.
In addition, the Discrete Frequencies option enables defining up to 10 discrete
frequencies to be used in the scanning process in addition to the frequencies
defined by the Frequency Scanning parameters.
NOTE
In the current version, intermediate steps are disabled.

PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards:
PPP and Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to
the Internet through a common broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless
device or cable modem. All the users over the Ethernet share a common connection,
so the Ethernet principles supporting multiple users in a LAN combines with the
principles of PPP, which apply to serial connections.
QAM Quadrature Amplitude Modulation. A technique used in wireless applications to double
the available bandwidth by combining two amplitude-modulated signals. The two
combined signals differ in phase by 90 degrees; this technique doubles the bandwidth
by combining the two signals at the source before transmission, transmitting digital data
at a rate of 4 bits per signal change.
QPSK Quadrature Phase Shift Keying. A data transfer technique used in coaxial cable
networks that sends data using modulating signals. Four different phases represent
data, with each signal's information determined by the signal before it. For example, if a
phase stays the same from one signal to the other, the information has not changed.
RADIUS Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, an authentication and accounting system

SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. A network management protocol that provides
a means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations,
statistics collection, performance, and security. SNMP works by sending messages,
called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant
devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases
(MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
SNR Signal to Noise Ratio. The ratio of the amplitude of a desired analog or digital data
signal to the amplitude of noise in a transmission channel at a specific point in time.
SNR is typically expressed logarithmically in decibels (dB). SNR measures the quality
of a transmission channel or a signal over a network channel. The greater the ratio, the
easier it is to identify and subsequently isolate and eliminate the effects of noise. SNR
also is abbreviated as S/N.
