IntroductionBreezeACCESS Series 1 Base Station Equipment Installation Manual1. INTRODUCTIONThis manual describes installation guidelines for BreezeACCESS base stationequipment, including the stand-alone AU-E/A-NI-Access Units and the modularAU-E/A-BS-Units with the BS-SH rack mounted shelf.The BreezeACCESS Broadband Wireless Access system allows access serviceproviders to provide high-speed IP connectivity services to their subscribers. Tosupport IP-based services effectively BreezeACCESS systems employ wirelesspacket data switching technology.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 outdoor unit(AU-RA) contains the radio module and an integral flat antenna. In the AU-E-NIand AU-E-BS products, the outdoor unit (AU-RE) contains the radio module andan 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 up tosix 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.

Its location should alloweasy access to the unit for installation and testing.• The AU-RA unit with its integrated antenna, or the external antenna connectedto the AU-RE unit, should be installed where it provides coverage of allsubscriber units in the area it is intended to serve. The higher the AU-RA orthe antenna, the better coverage it can provide.
Basic InstallationBreezeACCESS Series 5 Base Station Equipment Installation Manual• 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.

Appendix B. Basic ParametersBreezeACCESS Series 33 Base Station Equipment Installation ManualAPPENDIX B. BASIC PARAMETERSThe following parameters are relevant to all BreezeACCESS products.• IP Address – Displays the current IP address of the unit and allows entry ofa 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 x 3digit 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 32printable ASCII characters). The ESSID is a string used to identify a wirelessnetwork. It prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located wirelessnetworks. An SU can only associate with an AU that has an identical ESSID.Use different ESSIDs to segment the wireless access network and addsecurity to your network. The default value is ESSID1.Note: The ESSID string is case-sensitive.• DHCP Client⇒ DHCP Options – Displays the current status of the DHCP (DynamicHost Configuration Protocol) support, and allows selecting a newoperation mode. The available options are:∗ Disable – Use manual procedure for configuring the IPparameters.∗ DHCP Only – Search for a DHCP Server and obtain the IPparameters from it (IP Address, Subnet Mask and DefaultGateway Address).
Appendix B. Basic ParametersBase Station Equipment Installation Manual 34 BreezeACCESS Series∗ Automatic – Search for a DHCP Server for configuration ofthe IP parameters. If a DHCP Server is not found withinapproximately 40 seconds, use the currently configured IPparameters. The default is Disable.⇒ Access to DHCP - To define the port through which the unit isallowed to communicate with a DHCP server. The options are thefollowing:∗ From Wlan Only∗ From Ethernet Only∗ From Both Ethernet & Wlan The default for an Access Unit is From Ethernet Only. Thedefault for a Subscriber Unit is From Wlan Only.Parameters Specific for BreezeACCESS IIThe following parameters are set in BreezeACCESS II products.• Hopping Sequence – Displays the Hopping Sequence of the unit.A hopping sequence is a pre-defined series of channels (frequencies) that areused in a specific, pseudo-random order as defined in the sequence. The unit“hops” from frequency to frequency according to the selected sequence.When more than one AU is co-located in the same area, it is recommended toassign 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. The permitted range depends on the applicable hopping standard (see Table5-1 on the next page). The default value is 1.
Appendix B. Basic ParametersBreezeACCESS Series 35 Base Station Equipment Installation Manual• Hopping Set – Displays the selected hopping set. Each hopping standard has3 hopping sets. The hopping set selected in this screen determines whichhopping sequences are available in the Hopping Sequence screen. Alwaysuse the same hopping set per site (with different hopping sequences) tominimize the possibility of collisions on the wireless media. The defaultvalue is 1. This parameter is set only in the AU. All the associated SUs learn its valuefrom the AU during the association process.• Hopping Sync (BS-AU only) – Displays the current Hopping Sync status ofthe unit and allows defining a new status. When several AUs that use thesame hopping set and different hopping sequences are co-located, theiroperation should be synchronized in terms of hopping sequence initializationand timing. One unit must be specified as a Master Unit and all other unitsmust be specified 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 The default is Idle.Note: Synchronization is not allowed by the radio regulations in certaincountries. In units using such standards, the Hopping Sync option isnot supported. See Table 5-1 for information on synchronizationsupport in the standards of various countries.

Appendix B. Basic ParametersBreezeACCESS Series 37 Base Station Equipment Installation ManualParameters Specific for BreezeACCESS MMDSThe following parameters are set in BreezeACCESS MMDS products.• Hopping Shift –Displays the current value of the hopping shift parameterand allows entry of a new hopping shift value. This parameter is availableonly in Access Units – the Subscriber Units learn it during the associationprocess. When several Access Units that use the same hopping frequencies arecollocated, the Hopping Shift parameter is used to define a different hoppingsequence for each AU. The target is to achieve a minimal level of crossinterference between AUs through maintaining a minimal distance of 3 MHzbetween the frequencies used by adjacent AUs at any given moment. Thus,the collocated AUs should use different hopping shifts. The available range for hopping shifts is dependent on the number offrequencies selected and is equal to the number of hopping frequencies -1(minus 1). The Hopping Shift parameter does not have any effect when usinga single frequency. The default value of the Hopping Shift parameter is 0.• Flexible Hopping Definition – Allows adding and removing frequencies tothe list of hopping frequencies; displays the selected hopping frequencies andthe current hopping sequence (based on the previous selections made beforethe last Reset). The new selections will come into effect only after the nextReset. The Flexible Hopping is based on using the standard MMDS 6MHz channelsand frequencies. See Appendix C for a detailed list of the standard channels,as well as the frequency band and the hopping frequencies for each of thesechannels. The Flexible Hopping menu includes the following options, allowingadding/removing standard MMDS channels or adding/removing discretestandard hopping frequencies.
Appendix B. Basic ParametersBase Station Equipment Installation Manual 38 BreezeACCESS Series⇒ Add Frequencies – Allows adding discrete hopping frequencies orfrequency ranges. Enter a list of frequencies and/or frequency rangesto be added, e.g. 2501.500,2407.500-2519.500, 2525.500.Use acomma to separate between entries (no spaces). The allowed entriesare from 2500 to 2688 in steps of 0.5MHz. The frequencies (either thestart and stop frequencies of a range or discrete frequencies) can be inthe following formats: MHz Resolution, e.g. 2520 kHz resolution, e.g. 2501.000,2505.500 (you must enter 3 digits afterthe dot). The minimal channel spacing between frequencies is 3MHz. Whenentering a range, this will be the default channel spacing (e.g. for therange 2510-2516 the hopping frequencies will be 2510, 2513 and 2516MHz). It is recommended to use the standard MMDS frequencies. SeeAppendix C for a list of the standard MMDS frequencies.⇒ Remove Frequencies - Allows removing frequencies from theexisting list. Enter a list of frequencies and/or frequency ranges to beremoved, using the same guidelines as in Add Frequencies above⇒ Add Channels – Allows defining a new list of channels or addingchannels to an existing list. Enter a list of channels to be added, e.g.A1,B3,D2. Use a comma to separate between entries (no spaces). SeeAppendix C for a list of the channels and the hopping frequencies foreach of the channels.⇒ Remove Channels – Allows removing channels from existing list.Enter a list of channels to be removed, using the same guidelines as inAdd Channels above.⇒ Erase All – Allows erasing all the entries from the list.⇒ Show Flexible Hopping Parameters – Allows viewing the followinginformation:∗ An updated list of the defined sub-bands and discrete frequenciesto become effective after the next Reset. A sub-band is defined bythe first and last hopping frequency in a series of consecutivefrequencies, with 3MHz separation between frequencies.
Appendix B. Basic ParametersBreezeACCESS Series 39 Base Station Equipment Installation Manual∗ An updated list of all the hopping frequencies to be used after thenext Reset.∗ The current sequence of operational hopping frequencies• Hopping Sync (BS-AU only) – Displays the current Hopping Sync statusof the unit and allows defining a new status. When several AUs that use thesame frequencies and different Hopping Shifts are co-located, theiroperation should be synchronized in terms of Hopping Shift initializationand timing. One unit must be specified as a Master Unit and all other unitsmust be specified 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 The default is Idle.Parameters Specific for BreezeACCESS XLThe following parameters are only relevant to BreezeACCESS XL products.Note: The Hopping band and Hopping Offset parameters are applicable forapplications that use a 2MHz channel spacing. For other channel spacingvalues, or for hopping bands/frequency configurations that are notsupported by the standard Hopping Band values, use Flexible HoppingDefinition as described on page 41.• Hopping Band – Displays the current bandwidth and allows entry of a newbandwidth. The bandwidth is determined based on the specific conditions ofthe license to use a given frequency band, and on other considerations. Theavailable selections are 10, 12, 14, 24, 28, 36, 42 and 50 MHz (someselections are not available in models with a total available bandwidth lowerthan 50 MHz). In addition, a Single Channel selection is also available.
Appendix B. Basic ParametersBase Station Equipment Installation Manual 40 BreezeACCESS Series• Frequency Offset – Displays the current offset of the Hopping Band fromthe beginning of the available frequency range, and allows entry of a newoffset. The offset is measured in channels, where each channel is 2 MHz. Forexample, in products operating in the 3.5a band (3.410-3.452 GHz uplink), aFrequency Offset of 5 (10 MHz) will cause the hopping band to start at 3.420GHz for the uplink and at 3.520 GHz for the downlink. The maximum valueof the Frequency Offset is determined by the overall available bandwidth andthe selected Hopping Band (Hopping Band should be selected beforeselecting the Frequency Offset). The default Frequency Offset is 0. When setting this parameter, consider the following relationship:Max. Frequency Offset (channels) = (Overall Bandwidth-Hopping Band)/2.For example, in products operating in the 3.5a band with an overallbandwidth of 42 MHz, if the selected Hopping Band is 12 MHz then theallowed range for Frequency Offset is from 0 to 15 channels.Notes: In Single Channel mode, using the minimum (0) and the maximumvalues of the Frequency Offset parameter will result in transmitting atthe edges of the band without using any guard band.The Frequency Offset parameter does not have any effect on theFlexible Hopping mode.• Hopping Shift – Displays the current Hopping Shift parameter and allowsentry of a new value. Available only in AUs. All the associated SUs learnthe value of the Hopping Shift parameter from the AU during the associationprocess. The Hopping Shift parameter is used to provide different operationalhopping sequences when several co-located Access Units use the same band(and hence the same basic hopping sequence). This minimizes the crossinterference among these AUs and sallow for better spectrum utilization.Each unit represents a shift of one channel between hopping sequences. Theallowed range depends on the defined band. When setting this parameter, consider the following relationship. Max. Hopping Shift (channels) = Number of hopping frequencies-1.The default Hopping Shift is 0. The minimum recommended shift betweentwo adjacent AUs is 2.
Appendix B. Basic ParametersBreezeACCESS Series 41 Base Station Equipment Installation Manual• Flexible Hopping Definition– Allows defining the sub-bands to be used;displays the selected sub-bands, the hopping frequencies that will be used asa result of these selections and the current hopping sequence (based on theprevious selections made before the last Reset). The new settings will go intoeffect only after the next Reset.Note: The algorithm that determines the operational hopping sequence (theactual hopping sequence based on rearranging the order of theselected hopping frequencies) when using Flexible Hopping Definitionis different than the one used when fixed Hopping Bands are selected,even when the selected set of hopping frequencies is the same.Therefore, all units in the same base station (all AUs and associatedSUs) must use the same hopping frequencies selection method (fixedHopping Band or Flexible Hopping Definition). The Flexible Hopping mode is intended primarily for use in cases where theoperating band cannot be defined by the Hopping Band and Frequency Offsetparameters. This includes the following instances:⇒ When the bandwidth of the operating band is different from the standardbands available in the Hopping Band menu.⇒ When the operating band is comprised of two or more non-continuousbands.⇒ When the required Channel Spacing is other than 2MHz. The Flexible Hopping menu includes the following options:⇒ Channel Spacing – Allows defining a new value for the ChannelSpacing parameter, if the unit supports selection between several channelspacing values. Some models may support only a single value for theChannel Spacing parameter, in which case this parameter is not available.The Channel Spacing parameter defines the minimum distance betweenconsecutive hopping frequencies. In addition, the Channel Spacingparameter also determines the guard band, which is the distance of thefirst hopping frequency in each sub-band from the beginning of the sub-band, as well as the minimum distance of the last hopping frequency ineach sub-band from the end of the sub-band.
Appendix B. Basic ParametersBase Station Equipment Installation Manual 42 BreezeACCESS Series⇒ Channel Spacing Guard Band1MHz 1MHz1.75MHz 0.75MHz2MHz 1MHz The available selections in products that support all the options are 1,1.75 and 2MHz. In some products only a subset of these options may beavailable. The default is 2MHz.Note: Changing the value of the Channel Spacing will erase the currentlist of defined Sub-bands/frequencies⇒ Define Sub-bands – Allows defining a new list of sub-bands and/ordiscrete frequencies. Enter a list of the required sub-bands and/orfrequencies, using either sub-bands (f1-f2) or discrete frequencies, e.g.3410-3418,3425,3430-3434. The frequencies (either the start and stopfrequencies of a sub-band or discrete frequencies) can be in the followingformats:∗ MHz Resolution, e.g. 3420∗ kHz resolution, e.g. 3430.250, 3445.500, 3412.000 (you must enter 3digits after the dot)When using a Channel Spacing of 1 or 2 MHz, the entries should be on a1MHz grid (e.g. 3410, 3413).When using Channel Spacing of 1.75MHz, the usable frequencies are ona grid of 0.250MHz, the first one being at a distance of 0.750MHz fromthe beginning of the radio band. Therefore, for products using the 3.5aband, the usable frequencies (uplink) are 3410.750, 3411.000,3411.250……This is also the list of valid entries for discrete frequencies. Whendefining sub-bands, the entries must be on a grid of 0.250MHz that startsat the beginning of the radio band. Therefore, for products using the 3.5aband, the list of valid entries for defining discrete frequencies as well assub-bands’ start and end frequencies, is 3410, 3410.250, 3410.500…….
Appendix B. Basic ParametersBreezeACCESS Series 43 Base Station Equipment Installation ManualUse a comma to separate between entries. Use a hyphen to define sub-bands (no spaces).When a discrete frequency is defined, it is the actual hopping frequencyto be used. When a sub-band is defined, the hopping frequencies aredetermined by the value of the Channel Spacing parameter (see ChannelSpacing above).Note: Channel Spacing parameter should be configured prior todefining a new set of sub-bands.The entries are frequencies in the lower radio band (uplink frequencies,except for 3.8GHz products where the downlink frequencies should beused).The following are invalid combinations and will be rejected:∗ Two overlapping sub-bands, e.g. 3410-3420,3418-3422.∗ Combinations trying to force a distance between channels smallerthan the Channel Spacing, e.g. 3420.500, 3421.000(with a ChannelSpacing of 1.75MHz). Examples:∗ The selected sub-band is 3419-3431MHz. The Channel Spacing is2MHz. The hopping frequencies are: 3420, 3422, 3424, 3426,3428 and 3430MHz. (6 frequencies)∗ The selected sub-band is 3419-3431MHz. The Channel Spacing is1MHz. The hopping frequencies will be: 3420, 3421, 3422, 3423,3424, 3425, 3426, 3427, 3428, 3429 and 3430MHz (11frequencies)∗ The selected sub-band is 3419-3430MHz. The Channel Spacing is1.75MHz. The hopping frequencies will be 3419.750, 3421.500,3423.250, 3425.000, 3426.750 and 3428.500 (6 frequencies). Notethat the actual used band (including the o.750MHz guard bands) isonly 3419-3429.250MHz.
Appendix B. Basic ParametersBase Station Equipment Installation Manual 44 BreezeACCESS SeriesNote: The hopping frequencies are calculated for each sub-bandseparately. Therefore, the hopping frequencies calculated fortwo consecutive sub-bands may differ from the hoppingfrequency calculated for a single “combined” band (e.g. theresult for the entries 3410-3420,3420-3420 may differ fromthe results for the entry 3410-3430).• Hopping Sync (Access Unit only) – Displays the current Hopping Syncstatus of the unit and allows defining a new status. When several AUs thatuse the same sub-bands and different Hopping Shifts are co-located, theiroperation should be synchronized in terms of hopping sequence initializationand timing. One unit must be specified as a Master Unit and all other unitsmust be specified 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

A value of 15 represents the highest transmit power level.A lower value represents a lower transmit power level. The allowed range is from0 to 15. The default value is 15 (maximum power). The effect of this parameteron the transmitted power is not linear. In addition, it is affected by the length(attenuation) of the IF cable.Table D- 3 on the next page displays transmit power control parameters valuesrequired to decrease the transmitted power by approximately 5 dB, 10 dB and 15dB as a function of cable length (refers to RG-58).
