IntroductionBreezeACCESS 2.4 Series 1 BS Equipment Installation Manual1. INTRODUCTIONThis manual describes installation guidelines for BreezeACCESS 2.4 base stationequipment, including the stand-alone AU-E/A-NI-2.4 Access Units and themodular AU-E/A-BS-2.4 Units with the BS-SH rack mounted shelf.The BreezeACCESS IP Broadband Wireless Local Loop (WLL) system allowsaccess service providers to provide high-speed IP connectivity services to theirsubscribers. To support IP-based services effectively BreezeACCESS systemsemploy wireless packet data switching technology.The BreezeACCESS 2.4 line of products uses Frequency Hopping SpreadSpectrum radios that operate in Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode in the2.400GHz – 2.500GHz frequency range.The AU-A/E-NI and the AU-A/E-BS Access Units are comprised of an indoorunit and an outdoor unit. In the AU-A-NI and AU-A-BS products, the outdoorunit (AU-RA) contains the radio module and an integral flat antenna. In theAU-E-NI and AU-E-BS products, the outdoor unit (AU-RE) contains the radiomodule and an interface to an external antenna (not included).The indoor unit of the AU-A/E-NI is a stand-alone unit (AU-NI) that is poweredfrom the mains via its AU-PS power supply unit. The indoor unit of the AU-A/E-BS is a module (BS-AU) that is designed for insertion into the BS-SH shelf. TheBS-SH, which is a 3U shelf suitable for installation in 19" racks, can contain upto six BS-AU active modules and one or two BS-PS power supply modules. Theshelf is powered from a –48VDC power source. Power supply redundancy issupported through the optional use of a second BS-PS power supply module.The indoor unit provides the interface to the network. It also contains an IF(Intermediate Frequency) module and is connected to the outdoor unit via a50-ohm coaxial IF cable. The IF cable serves for transmission of the 440MHz IFsignal between the indoor and the outdoor units. It also serves for transferringpower (12VDC), management and control signals from the indoor unit to theoutdoor unit.Note: The information contained in this manual is applicable toBreezeACCESS 2.4 units with software release 2.5 and up.

Its location should alloweasy access to the unit for installation and testing.• The AU-RA unit with its integrated antenna, or the external antennaconnected to the AU-RE unit, should be installed where it provides coverageof all subscriber units in the area it is intended to serve. The higher the AU-RA or the antenna, the better coverage it can provide.

Basic InstallationBS Equipment Installation Manual 4 BreezeACCESS 2.4 Series• The AU-RE outdoor unit should be installed as near as possible to itsantenna.Note: The distance between any two antennas should be greater than 40 cm.• The outdoor unit is connected to the indoor unit by means of a coaxial IFcable carrying signals, controls and power. The IF frequency is 440 MHz.The maximum allowed attenuation of the IF cable is 15dB and its maximumallowed DC resistance (the sum of the DC resistance of the inner and outerconductors) is 1.5 ohm. This allows for cable lengths of up to 30m whenusing the standard RG 58 cable. If longer cables are required, a cable withlower attenuation and/or DC resistance should be used. Table 2-1 provides data regarding several industry-standard cables such asRG 58 and RG 213. If the spectral environment is polluted with noise in the440 MHz band, it is recommended to use a higher quality double-shieldedcable such as LMR 240 or LMR 400 (manufactured by TimesCommunications). Table 2-1: IF Cables Cable Type RG 58 RG 213 LMR 240 LMR 400 Maximum cableLength (m) 30 100 65 150• The BS-SH and its modules and the SU-NI are designed for indoor operation,i.e., inside buildings, a suitable cabinet or a shelter. Air temperature controlmight be necessary – the equipment is designed to operate over thetemperature range 0°C to 45°C.

Basic InstallationBreezeACCESS 2.4 Series 5 BS Equipment Installation ManualNotice:Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experiencedinstallation professionals who are familiar with local building and safetycodes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriategovernment regulatory authorities.The system complies with EN61000-4-5, level 3, (2kV) standard and is protectedagainst secondary lightning strikes when its outdoor unit is properlygrounded according to the applicable country-specific industry standardsfor protection of structures against lightning. The use of any antenna other thanthose certified with this product is forbidden in accordance to FCC rules 15.204.Failure to do so may void the BreezeACCESS product warranty and mayexpose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial liabilities.BreezeCOM and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury,damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation ofoutdoor units or antennas.

When the password is recognized, the following message is displayed: You have entered.8. Press Enter, the Breeze ACCESS Monitor is displayed on the screen.9. To exit the Telnet session, choose Disconnect from the Connect menu.(The session is terminated automatically, after a specific time of inactivitydetermined by the Log-out Timer).

Appendix BBreezeACCESS 2.4 Series 25 BS Equipment Installation ManualAPPENDIX B. BASIC PARAMETERS• IP Address – Displays the current IP address of the unit and allows entryof a new IP address (4 x 3 digit octets, separated by dots). The default IPAddress is 010.000.000.001.• Subnet Mask – Displays the current subnet mask of the unit and allowsentry of a new subnet mask (4 x 3 digit octets, separated by dots). Thedefault mask is 255.000.000.000.• Default Gateway Address – Displays the current address of the defaultgateway of the unit and allows entry of a new default gateway address (4 x3 digit octets, separated by dots). The default gateway address is000.000.000.000.• ESS ID – The ESSID (Extended Service Set ID) of the unit (up to 32 printableASCII characters). The ESSID is a string used to identify a wireless network.It prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located wireless networks. AnSU can only associate with an AU that has an identical ESSID. Use differentESSIDs to segment the wireless access network and add security to yournetwork. The default value is ESSID1. Note: The ESSID string is case-sensitive.• Hopping Sequence – Displays the Hopping Sequence of the unit.A hopping sequence is a pre-defined series of channels (frequencies) thatare used in a specific, pseudo-random order as defined in the sequence. Theunit “hops” from frequency to frequency according to the selectedsequence. When more than one AU is co-located in the same area, it isrecommended to assign different hopping sequences to each AU. Hopping Sequences are grouped in three hopping sets (see Hopping Setparameter below). When setting up multiple AUs in the same site, alwayschoose hopping sequences from the same Hopping Set to reduce thepossibility of collisions on the wireless media. This parameter is only set inthe AU. All the SUs learn it from the AU during the association process.

Appendix BBS Equipment Installation Manual 26 BreezeACCESS 2.4 Series The permitted range depends on the applicable hopping standard (seeTable 5-3). The default value is 1.• Hopping Set – Displays the selected hopping set. Each hopping standardhas 3 hopping sets. The hopping set selected in this screen determineswhich hopping sequences are available in the Hopping Sequence screen.Always use the same hopping set per site (with different hoppingsequences) to minimize the possibility of collisions on the wireless media.The default value is 1. This parameter is set only in the AU. All the associated SUs learn its valuefrom the AU during the association process. Table 5-3.

Appendix BBreezeACCESS 2.4 Series 27 BS Equipment Installation Manual• Hopping Sync (BS-AU only) – Displays the current Hopping Sync status ofthe unit and allows defining a new status. When several AUs that use the samehopping set and different hopping sequences are co-located, their operationshould be synchronized in terms of hopping sequence initialization andtiming. One unit must be specified as a Master Unit and all other units must bespecified as Slave units. Available options are:⇒ Idle – No synchronization (stand-alone operation)⇒ Master – The AU that serves as a Master unit providingsynchronization signals to the Slave units⇒ Slave – An AU that operates as a Slave.
