INTRODUCTION This manual describes installation guidelines for BreezeACCESS base station equipment, including the stand-alone AU-E/A-NI-Access Units and the modular AU-E/A-BS-Units with the BS-SH rack mounted shelf. The BreezeACCESS Broadband Wireless Access system allows access service providers to provide high-speed IP connectivity services to their subscribers. To support IP-based services effectively BreezeACCESS systems employ wireless packet data switching technology. The AU-A/E-NI and the AU-A/E-BS Access Units are comprised of an indoor unit 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-NI and AU-E-BS products, the outdoor unit (AU-RE) contains the radio module 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 powered from the mains via its AU-PS power supply unit. The indoor unit of the AU-A/EBS is a module (BS-AU) that is designed for insertion into the BS-SH shelf. The BS-SH, which is a 3U shelf suitable for installation in 19" racks, can contain up to six BS-AU active modules and one or two BS-PS power supply modules. The shelf is powered from a –48VDC power source. Power supply redundancy is supported 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 a 50-ohm coaxial IF cable. The IF cable serves for transmission of the 440MHz IF signal between the indoor and the outdoor units. It also serves for transferring power (12VDC), management and control signals from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit. BreezeACCESS Series Base Station Equipment Installation Manual Introduction BreezeACCESS products use Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum radios and are available in the following frequency bands: • BreezeACCESS II products operate in Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode in the 2.4-2.5GHz frequency band. The exact frequencies vary in accordance with specific country’s radio regulations. BreezeACCESS II products are available with an output power at the antenna port of either 26dBm (HP), 15dBm (GP), 7dBm (MP) or 2dBm (LP). • BreezeACCESS MMDS products operate on Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode in the 2.500-2.686GHz frequency band. • BreezeACCESS XL products operate in Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) mode, and are currently available in the following frequency bands: Note: Model Uplink Band (GHz) Uplink-Downlink Separation (MHz) BreezeACCESS 3.5a BreezeACCESS 3.5a1 BreezeACCESS 3.5b BreezeACCESS 3.5e BreezeACCESS 2.6b BreezeACCESS 3.3 BreezeACCESS 3.8 3.410-3.452 3.400-3.450 3.450-3.500 3.425-3.450 2.551-2.593 3.300-3.324 3.925-4.015 100 100 100 50 74 76 -320 The information contained in this manual is applicable to BreezeACCESS units with software release 3.0 and up.

Items marked with an asterisk (*) are available as options from BreezeCOM. 2.4 Guidelines for Selection of Equipment Location Select appropriate locations for the equipment using the following guidelines: • The outdoor unit can be pole—or wall mounted. Its location should allow easy access to the unit for installation and testing. • The AU-RA unit with its integrated antenna, or the external antenna connected to the AU-RE unit, should be installed where it provides coverage of 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. Base Station Equipment Installation Manual BreezeACCESS Series Basic Installation • The AU-RE outdoor unit should be installed as near as possible to its antenna. 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 IF cable carrying signals, controls and power. The IF frequency is 440 MHz. The maximum allowed attenuation of the IF cable is 15dB and its maximum allowed DC resistance (the sum of the DC resistance of the inner and outer conductors) is 1.5 ohm. This allows for cable lengths of up to 30m when using the standard RG 58 cable. If longer cables are required, a cable with lower attenuation and/or DC resistance should be used. Table 2-1 provides data regarding several industry-standard cables such as RG 58 and RG 213. If the spectral environment is polluted with noise in the 440 MHz band, it is recommended to use a higher quality double-shielded cable such as LMR 240 or LMR 400 (manufactured by Times Communications). Table 2-1. IF Cables Cable Type Maximum cable Length (m) • RG 58 RG 213 LMR 240 LMR 400 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 control might be necessary – the equipment is designed to operate over the temperature range 0°C to 45°C. BreezeACCESS Series Base Station Equipment Installation Manual Basic Installation Note: Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities. The system complies with the ETS 300 385 standard and is protected against secondary lightning strikes when its outdoor unit is properly grounded according to the applicable country-specific industry standards for protection of structures against lightning. The system complies with EN 61000-4-5, test level 3 (2kV). Failure to do so may void the BreezeACCESS product warranty and may expose 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 of outdoor units or antennas. Base Station Equipment Installation Manual BreezeACCESS Series Basic Installation 2.5 Installing the Outdoor Radio Unit 2.5.1 Mounting the Outdoor Unit The outdoor unit can be secured to the pole using one of the following options: • Special brackets and open-ended screws (supplied with each unit). There are two pairs of screw holes on the rear of the unit, allowing use of the brackets with various pole widths. • U-bolts - size A (inner installation holes, up to 2" pole). • U-bolt - size B (outside installation holes, up to 3" pole). • Metal bands (9/16" wide, minimum 12" long). Figure 2-1 shows the locations of the U-bolt holes, band grooves and screw holes on the rear side of the unit. Figure 2-2 illustrates the method of installing an AU-RE unit on a pole using the supplied brackets and open-ended screws. The installation of an AU-RA unit with an integral antenna is very similar to the installation of an SU-RE unit. Note: Make sure to install the unit with the bottom panel (the panel with the IF connector) facing downward.

Basic Parameters APPENDIX B. BASIC PARAMETERS The following parameters are relevant to all BreezeACCESS products. • IP Address – Displays the current IP address of the unit and allows entry of a new IP address (4 x 3 digit octets, separated by dots). The default IP Address is 010.000.000.001. • Subnet Mask – Displays the current subnet mask of the unit and allows entry of a new subnet mask (4 x 3 digit octets, separated by dots). The default mask is 255.000.000.000. • Default Gateway Address – Displays the current address of the default gateway of the unit and allows entry of a new default gateway address (4 x 3 digit octets, separated by dots). The default gateway address is 000.000.000.000. • ESS ID – The ESSID (Extended Service Set ID) of the unit (up to 32 printable ASCII characters). The ESSID is a string used to identify a wireless network. It prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located wireless networks. An SU can only associate with an AU that has an identical ESSID. Use different ESSIDs to segment the wireless access network and add security 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 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) support, and allows selecting a new operation mode. The available options are: ∗ Disable – Use manual procedure for configuring the IP parameters. ∗ BreezeACCESS Series DHCP Only – Search for a DHCP Server and obtain the IP parameters from it (IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway Address). 33 Base Station Equipment Installation Manual Appendix B. Basic Parameters ∗ Automatic – Search for a DHCP Server for configuration of the IP parameters. If a DHCP Server is not found within approximately 40 seconds, use the currently configured IP parameters. The default is Disable. ⇒ Access to DHCP - To define the port through which the unit is allowed to communicate with a DHCP server. The options are the following: ∗ From Wlan Only ∗ From Ethernet Only ∗ From Both Ethernet & Wlan The default for an Access Unit is From Ethernet Only. The default for a Subscriber Unit is From Wlan Only. Parameters Specific for BreezeACCESS II The 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 are used 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 to assign different hopping sequences to each AU. Hopping Sequences are grouped in three hopping sets (see Hopping Set parameter below). When setting up multiple AUs in the same site, always choose hopping sequences from the same Hopping Set to reduce the possibility of collisions on the wireless media. This parameter is only set in the AU. All the SUs learn it from the AU during the association process. The permitted range depends on the applicable hopping standard (see Table 5-1 on the next page). The default value is 1. Base Station Equipment Installation Manual 34 BreezeACCESS Series Appendix B. Basic Parameters • Hopping Set – Displays the selected hopping set. Each hopping standard has 3 hopping sets. The hopping set selected in this screen determines which hopping sequences are available in the Hopping Sequence screen. Always use the same hopping set per site (with different hopping sequences) 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 value from the AU during the association process. • Hopping Sync (BS-AU only) – Displays the current Hopping Sync status of the unit and allows defining a new status. When several AUs that use the same hopping set and different hopping sequences are co-located, their operation should be synchronized in terms of hopping sequence initialization and timing. One unit must be specified as a Master Unit and all other units must be specified as Slave units. Available options are: ⇒ Idle – No synchronization (stand-alone operation) ⇒ Master – The AU that serves as a Master unit providing synchronization signals to the Slave units ⇒ Slave – An AU that operates as a Slave The default is Idle. Note: BreezeACCESS Series Synchronization is not allowed by the radio regulations in certain countries. In units using such standards, the Hopping Sync option is not supported. See Table 5-1 for information on synchronization support in the standards of various countries. 35 Base Station Equipment Installation Manual Appendix B. Basic Parameters Table 5-1.

Basic Parameters Parameters Specific for BreezeACCESS MMDS The following parameters are set in BreezeACCESS MMDS products. • Hopping Shift –Displays the current value of the hopping shift parameter and allows entry of a new hopping shift value. This parameter is available only in Access Units – the Subscriber Units learn it during the association process. When several Access Units that use the same hopping frequencies are collocated, the Hopping Shift parameter is used to define a different hopping sequence for each AU. The target is to achieve a minimal level of cross interference between AUs through maintaining a minimal distance of 3 MHz between 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 of frequencies selected and is equal to the number of hopping frequencies -1 (minus 1). The Hopping Shift parameter does not have any effect when using a single frequency. The default value of the Hopping Shift parameter is 0. • Flexible Hopping Definition – Allows adding and removing frequencies to the list of hopping frequencies; displays the selected hopping frequencies and the current hopping sequence (based on the previous selections made before the last Reset). The new selections will come into effect only after the next Reset. The Flexible Hopping is based on using the standard MMDS 6MHz channels and 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 these channels. The Flexible Hopping menu includes the following options, allowing adding/removing standard MMDS channels or adding/removing discrete standard hopping frequencies. BreezeACCESS Series 37 Base Station Equipment Installation Manual Appendix B. Basic Parameters ⇒ Add Frequencies – Allows adding discrete hopping frequencies or frequency ranges. Enter a list of frequencies and/or frequency ranges to be added, e.g. 2501.500,2407.500-2519.500, 2525.500.Use a comma to separate between entries (no spaces). The allowed entries are from 2500 to 2688 in steps of 0.5MHz. The frequencies (either the start and stop frequencies of a range or discrete frequencies) can be in the following formats: MHz Resolution, e.g. 2520 kHz resolution, e.g. 2501.000,2505.500 (you must enter 3 digits after the dot). The minimal channel spacing between frequencies is 3MHz. When entering a range, this will be the default channel spacing (e.g. for the range 2510-2516 the hopping frequencies will be 2510, 2513 and 2516 MHz). It is recommended to use the standard MMDS frequencies. See Appendix C for a list of the standard MMDS frequencies. ⇒ Remove Frequencies - Allows removing frequencies from the existing list. Enter a list of frequencies and/or frequency ranges to be removed, using the same guidelines as in Add Frequencies above ⇒ Add Channels – Allows defining a new list of channels or adding channels 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). See Appendix C for a list of the channels and the hopping frequencies for each of the channels. ⇒ Remove Channels – Allows removing channels from existing list. Enter a list of channels to be removed, using the same guidelines as in Add Channels above. ⇒ Erase All – Allows erasing all the entries from the list. ⇒ Show Flexible Hopping Parameters – Allows viewing the following information: ∗ An updated list of the defined sub-bands and discrete frequencies to become effective after the next Reset. A sub-band is defined by the first and last hopping frequency in a series of consecutive frequencies, with 3MHz separation between frequencies. Base Station Equipment Installation Manual 38 BreezeACCESS Series Appendix B. Basic Parameters • ∗ An updated list of all the hopping frequencies to be used after the next Reset. ∗ The current sequence of operational hopping frequencies Hopping Sync (BS-AU only) – Displays the current Hopping Sync status of the unit and allows defining a new status. When several AUs that use the same frequencies and different Hopping Shifts are co-located, their operation should be synchronized in terms of Hopping Shift initialization and timing. One unit must be specified as a Master Unit and all other units must be specified as Slave units. Available options are: ⇒ Idle – No synchronization (stand-alone operation) ⇒ Master – The AU that serves as a Master unit providing synchronization signals to the Slave units ⇒ Slave – An AU that operates as a Slave The default is Idle. Parameters Specific for BreezeACCESS XL The following parameters are only relevant to BreezeACCESS XL products. Note: • The Hopping band and Hopping Offset parameters are applicable for applications that use a 2MHz channel spacing. For other channel spacing values, or for hopping bands/frequency configurations that are not supported by the standard Hopping Band values, use Flexible Hopping Definition as described on page 41. Hopping Band – Displays the current bandwidth and allows entry of a new bandwidth. The bandwidth is determined based on the specific conditions of the license to use a given frequency band, and on other considerations. The available selections are 10, 12, 14, 24, 28, 36, 42 and 50 MHz (some selections are not available in models with a total available bandwidth lower than 50 MHz). In addition, a Single Channel selection is also available. BreezeACCESS Series 39 Base Station Equipment Installation Manual Appendix B. Basic Parameters • Frequency Offset – Displays the current offset of the Hopping Band from the beginning of the available frequency range, and allows entry of a new offset. The offset is measured in channels, where each channel is 2 MHz. For example, in products operating in the 3.5a band (3.410-3.452 GHz uplink), a Frequency Offset of 5 (10 MHz) will cause the hopping band to start at 3.420 GHz for the uplink and at 3.520 GHz for the downlink. The maximum value of the Frequency Offset is determined by the overall available bandwidth and the selected Hopping Band (Hopping Band should be selected before selecting 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 overall bandwidth of 42 MHz, if the selected Hopping Band is 12 MHz then the allowed range for Frequency Offset is from 0 to 15 channels. Notes: In Single Channel mode, using the minimum (0) and the maximum values of the Frequency Offset parameter will result in transmitting at the edges of the band without using any guard band. The Frequency Offset parameter does not have any effect on the Flexible Hopping mode. • Hopping Shift – Displays the current Hopping Shift parameter and allows entry of a new value. Available only in AUs. All the associated SUs learn the value of the Hopping Shift parameter from the AU during the association process. The Hopping Shift parameter is used to provide different operational hopping sequences when several co-located Access Units use the same band (and hence the same basic hopping sequence). This minimizes the cross interference among these AUs and sallow for better spectrum utilization. Each unit represents a shift of one channel between hopping sequences. The allowed 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 between two adjacent AUs is 2. Base Station Equipment Installation Manual 40 BreezeACCESS Series Appendix B. Basic Parameters • Flexible Hopping Definition– Allows defining the sub-bands to be used; displays the selected sub-bands, the hopping frequencies that will be used as a result of these selections and the current hopping sequence (based on the previous selections made before the last Reset). The new settings will go into effect only after the next Reset. Note: The algorithm that determines the operational hopping sequence (the actual hopping sequence based on rearranging the order of the selected hopping frequencies) when using Flexible Hopping Definition is 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 associated SUs) must use the same hopping frequencies selection method (fixed Hopping Band or Flexible Hopping Definition). The Flexible Hopping mode is intended primarily for use in cases where the operating band cannot be defined by the Hopping Band and Frequency Offset parameters. This includes the following instances: ⇒ When the bandwidth of the operating band is different from the standard bands available in the Hopping Band menu. ⇒ When the operating band is comprised of two or more non-continuous bands. ⇒ 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 Channel Spacing parameter, if the unit supports selection between several channel spacing values. Some models may support only a single value for the Channel Spacing parameter, in which case this parameter is not available. The Channel Spacing parameter defines the minimum distance between consecutive hopping frequencies. In addition, the Channel Spacing parameter also determines the guard band, which is the distance of the first hopping frequency in each sub-band from the beginning of the subband, as well as the minimum distance of the last hopping frequency in each sub-band from the end of the sub-band. BreezeACCESS Series 41 Base Station Equipment Installation Manual Appendix B. Basic Parameters ⇒ Channel Spacing Guard Band 1MHz 1MHz 1.75MHz 0.75MHz 2MHz 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 be available. The default is 2MHz. Note: Changing the value of the Channel Spacing will erase the current list of defined Sub-bands/frequencies ⇒ Define Sub-bands – Allows defining a new list of sub-bands and/or discrete frequencies. Enter a list of the required sub-bands and/or frequencies, using either sub-bands (f1-f2) or discrete frequencies, e.g. 3410-3418,3425,3430-3434. The frequencies (either the start and stop frequencies of a sub-band or discrete frequencies) can be in the following formats: ∗ MHz Resolution, e.g. 3420 ∗ kHz resolution, e.g. 3430.250, 3445.500, 3412.000 (you must enter 3 digits after the dot) When using a Channel Spacing of 1 or 2 MHz, the entries should be on a 1MHz grid (e.g. 3410, 3413). When using Channel Spacing of 1.75MHz, the usable frequencies are on a grid of 0.250MHz, the first one being at a distance of 0.750MHz from the beginning of the radio band. Therefore, for products using the 3.5a band, the usable frequencies (uplink) are 3410.750, 3411.000, 3411.250…… This is also the list of valid entries for discrete frequencies. When defining sub-bands, the entries must be on a grid of 0.250MHz that starts at the beginning of the radio band. Therefore, for products using the 3.5a band, the list of valid entries for defining discrete frequencies as well as sub-bands’ start and end frequencies, is 3410, 3410.250, 3410.500……. Base Station Equipment Installation Manual 42 BreezeACCESS Series Appendix B. Basic Parameters Use a comma to separate between entries. Use a hyphen to define subbands (no spaces). When a discrete frequency is defined, it is the actual hopping frequency to be used. When a sub-band is defined, the hopping frequencies are determined by the value of the Channel Spacing parameter (see Channel Spacing above). Note: Channel Spacing parameter should be configured prior to defining 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 be used). 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 smaller than the Channel Spacing, e.g. 3420.500, 3421.000(with a Channel Spacing of 1.75MHz). Examples: ∗ ∗ ∗ BreezeACCESS Series The selected sub-band is 3419-3431MHz. The Channel Spacing is 2MHz. The hopping frequencies are: 3420, 3422, 3424, 3426, 3428 and 3430MHz. (6 frequencies) The selected sub-band is 3419-3431MHz. The Channel Spacing is 1MHz. The hopping frequencies will be: 3420, 3421, 3422, 3423, 3424, 3425, 3426, 3427, 3428, 3429 and 3430MHz (11 frequencies) The selected sub-band is 3419-3430MHz. The Channel Spacing is 1.75MHz. The hopping frequencies will be 3419.750, 3421.500, 3423.250, 3425.000, 3426.750 and 3428.500 (6 frequencies). Note that the actual used band (including the o.750MHz guard bands) is only 3419-3429.250MHz. 43 Base Station Equipment Installation Manual Appendix B. Basic Parameters Note: • The hopping frequencies are calculated for each sub-band separately. Therefore, the hopping frequencies calculated for two consecutive sub-bands may differ from the hopping frequency calculated for a single “combined” band (e.g. the result for the entries 3410-3420,3420-3420 may differ from the results for the entry 3410-3430). Hopping Sync (Access Unit only) – Displays the current Hopping Sync status of the unit and allows defining a new status. When several AUs that use the same sub-bands and different Hopping Shifts are co-located, their operation should be synchronized in terms of hopping sequence initialization and timing. One unit must be specified as a Master Unit and all other units must be specified as Slave units.

FCC-Certified Antennas for BreezeACCESS II APPENDIX D. FCC-CERTIFIED ANTENNAS FOR BREEZEACCESS II Table D-1 lists the FCC-certified antennas that can be ordered from BreezeCOM. Table D-1.

Refer to Table D- 2 on the next page for details on required adjustment, when using the HP (High Power) models with 26 dBm power output at the antenna port. 47 Base Station Equipment Installation Manual Appendix D. FCC-Certified Antennas for BreezeACCESS II Table D- 2. Required Adjustments Antenna Gain (dBi) Allowed RF Power in dBm (at antenna port) Required Attenuation from Maximum Power (dB) 24 12 14 18 18 17 19 16 20 13 23 <10 26 Use the Transmit Power Control parameter to change the gain of the Tx power circuits as required. A value of 15 represents the highest transmit power level. A lower value represents a lower transmit power level. The allowed range is from 0 to 15. The default value is 15 (maximum power). The effect of this parameter on 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 values required to decrease the transmitted power by approximately 5 dB, 10 dB and 15 dB as a function of cable length (refers to RG-58).

Transmit Power Control Values to Achieve Attenuation from Maximum Power RG 58 Cable Length (m) Value for 5 dB Attenuation Value for 10 dB Attenuation Value for 15 dB Attenuation 0-6 12 18 24 30 Use the factors in Table D- 4 to calculate the applicable values of the Transmit Power Control parameter for other cable types, as a function of the cable length. For example, a 40 m long RG 213 cable is equivalent to a 40/2.2 = 18 m long RG 58 cable. Table D- 4. Factors (Cable Loss/RG 58 Loss) Cable RG 213 LMR 400 LMR200 LMR 240 Factor * 2.2 4.2 1.6 2.2 * To calculate the factors for other cables types, use the following formula: Factor = Loss per meter / 0.37 BreezeACCESS Series 49 Base Station Equipment Installation Manual
