Basic InstallationSU-I-D Installation Manual 2 BreezeACCESS-MMDS Series2. BASIC INSTALLATION2.1 Packing ListThe SU-I units are shipped with the following units and accessories. The exactpacking list varies depending on system configuration and ordered equipment.• SU-I unit• A 5 VDC universal power supply transformer• Mounting bracket for wall or ceiling installation• A torque key for antenna connectors2.2 Other Required ItemsThe following items must be available for the installation• Antenna(s)*and RF cable(s)*(according to specific installationrequirements)*• A PC with terminal emulation program• A monitor cable* (supplied with each AU)• An Ethernet cable (straight)• Installation tools and materialsItems marked with an asterisk (*) are available from BreezeCOM.

Basic InstallationBreezeACCESS MMDS Series 3 SU-I-D Installation Manual2.3 Installation OverviewStandard installation involves the following steps:1. Verify that all components of the packing list, described in Section 2.1, areintact and verify availability of the required items listed in Section 2.2.2. Install the unit and antenna(s) in optimal locations as described inSection 2.4.3. Connect the antenna(s) to the unit as described in Section 2.6.4. Connect the power supply to the unit as described in Section 2.7.5. Connect the Ethernet port to the unit as described in Section 2.7.6. Configure the basic system parameters as described in Section 3.7. Align the antenna(s) for optimal connectivity and configure the MaximumData Rate if applicable, as described in Chapters 4 and 5.8. Check the functionality of the unit as described in Chapter 6.Antennas for Indoor ApplicationsFor most indoor applications, the best choice is the standard unit equipped withits screw-on 2dBi antennas. The units are small, easy to install and cover a largearea.In some installations, it is required to install the unit and antenna separately. Insuch instances, use the omni-6 antenna kit (6dbi omni-directional antenna with 3meter RG-58 cable). In the USA (FCC regulated) and in non-regulated countries,the omni-6 comes with a shorter antenna cable, extending the coverage area.The Uni-8.5 is also useful in indoor applications. It is very small and easily wall-mounted, but its radiation pattern is limited (75°).BreezeCOM recommends that, for indoor applications, you use two antennas perunit to utilize the diversity gain of the system.

Basic InstallationSU-I-D Installation Manual 4 BreezeACCESS-MMDS Series2.4 Installation GuidelinesThis section describes the installation guidelines and the various considerationsthat must be taken into account when planning the installation.2.4.1 Location of the Unit and Antenna(s)• The unit can be placed on a shelf, or can be attached to the ceiling or a wallusing a mounting bracket. The unit should be installed as near to theantenna(s) as possible to minimize loss of RF power in the cable(s).• Keep the units well away from sources of heat, such as radiators, air-conditioners, etc.2.4.2 Location of the Antenna(s)• Any physical object in the path between two units can cause signalattenuation. Common obstructions are buildings and trees. If a unit’santenna is installed indoors, the walls and/or windows between the twosites are physical obstructions. If the antenna is positioned outdoors, anybuildings or other physical structure such as trees, mountains or othernatural geographic features higher than the antenna and situated in the pathbetween the two sites can constitute obstructions.• Install indoor antennas as close as possible to a window (or wall if awindow is not accessible) facing the required direction. Avoid metalobstacles such as metal window frames or metal film anti-glare windows inthe transmission path. Install outdoor antennas high enough to avoid anyobstacles, which may block the signal.• Position the antennas clear of metal furniture and away from moving metalobjects such as metal fans or doors.• For best performance, position the antennas clear of radiation sources thatemit in the 2.5 - 2.7 GHz frequency band, such as microwave ovens.

Basic InstallationBreezeACCESS MMDS Series 5 SU-I-D Installation Manual2.4.3 Antenna DiversityIn applications where no multipath propagation is expected, a single antenna issufficient to ensure good performance levels. However, in cases where multipathpropagation exists, BreezeCOM recommends that two antennas be used. Thistakes advantage of space diversity capabilities. By using two antennas per unit,the system can select the best antenna on a per-packet basis (every severalmilliseconds).Multipath propagation is to be expected when there are potential reflectorsbetween the Access Unit and Subscriber Units. These reflectors may be buildingsor moving objects such as airplanes and motor vehicles. If this is the case, theradio signal does not travel in a straight line, but is reflected or deflected off ofthe object, creating multiple propagation paths.When installing a single antenna, modify the transmit diversity option to eitherantenna 1 or antenna 2, according to the antenna being used.2.4.4 Antenna PolarizationAntenna polarization must be the same at either end of the link. In mostapplications, the preferred orientation is vertical polarization. Above-groundpropagation of the signal is better when it is polarized vertically. To verifyantenna polarization, refer to the assembly instructions supplied with the antennaset. For screw-on and detached omni antennas, make sure that the antennas areextended upward vertically in relation to the floor to achieve verticalpolarization.2.4.5 Antenna SealWhen using outdoor antennas, you must seal the antenna connectors against rain.Otherwise the antennas are not suitable for use in outdoor installations.2.4.6 Lightning ProtectionLightning protection is designed to protect people, property and equipment byproviding a path to ground for the lightning’s energy. The lightning arrestordiverts the strike energy to ground through a deliberate and controlled pathinstead of allowing it to choose a random path. Lightning protection for a

Basic InstallationSU-I-D Installation Manual 6 BreezeACCESS-MMDS Seriesbuilding is more forgiving than protection of electronic devices. A building canwithstand up to 100,000 volts, but electronic equipment may be damaged by justa few volts.Lightning protection entails connecting an antenna discharge unit (also called anarrestor) to each cable as close as possible to the point where it enters thebuilding. It also entails proper grounding of the arrestors and of the antenna mast(if the antenna is connected to one).The lightning arrestor should be installed and grounded at the point where thecable enters the building. The arrestor is connected to the unit at one end and tothe antenna at the other end.The professional installer you choose must be knowledgeable about lightningprotection. The installer must install the lightning protector in a way thatmaximizes lightning protection. BreezeCOM offers the following high-qualitylightning arrestor assembly:BreezeACCESS AL 1 Lightning Arrestor - Part No. 872905 5 ft (1.5m), “N”Male to “N” Female.Note: Detached antennas, whether installed indoors or out, should be installedONLY by experienced antenna installation professionals who are familiarwith local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensedby the appropriate government regulatory authorities.Failure to do so may void the BreezeACCESS Product Warranty and mayexpose the end user to legal and financial liabilities. BreezeCOM and itsresellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation ofgovernment regulations associated with the installation of detachedantennas.

Reset theunit for the factory defaults values to take effect.

Aligning the AntennaBreezeACCESS MMDS Series 15 SU-I-D Installation Manual4. ALIGNING THE ANTENNAOmni and low gain antennas do not require alignment due to their wide radiationpattern. High gain antennas have a narrow beamwidth, necessitating an alignmentprocedure in order to optimize the link.For Subscriber Units with directional antenna(s), you can either use the LEDindicators on the front panel of the unit or view the Received Signal StrengthIndication (RSSI) on the monitor. In most installations, alignment using theLEDs is sufficient. The RSSI reading can be used when finer alignment isrequired.Note: Antenna alignment of the Subscriber Unit is possible only after the AccessUnit you wish to associate with is operational and the ESSID was properlyconfigured.4.1 Aligning the Antenna Using the LEDs1. Synchronize the units by aligning the antenna manually to point to the basestation until the WLNK indicator LED on the front panel of the unitilluminates.2. Rotate the antenna left and/or right until you reach the point of signal qualityreading on the quality (QLT) LEDs. The higher the number of illuminatedLEDs the better is the quality of the link. Make sure that at all times, thefront of the antenna faces the general direction of the Access Unit.3. For proper operation, at least one (L) LED should be illuminated. If this isnot possible, improve the link quality by placing the antenna at a higherpoint or in a different location.4. After the antenna is optimally aligned, tighten the U-bolts (or metal band) tosecure the antenna to the pole.

Aligning the AntennaSU-I-D Installation Manual 16 BreezeACCESS-MMDS Series4.2 Aligning the Antenna Using the Site Survey Menu1. Start the Monitor program as described in Section 3.1.2. From the main menu, type 4 to access the Site Survey menu. Type 4 to startthe Continuous RSSI Display. Each line in the display includes the number offrames that were received since the last measurement (total Rx) and theaverage RSSI for these frames.3. Rotate the antenna left and/or right until you reach the point of maximumRSSI reading. Make sure that at all times, the front of the antenna faces thegeneral direction of the Base Station.4. For proper operation, the RSSI reading should be at least 52 units. When themaximum reading is less than 52 units, try to improve it by placing theantenna at a higher point or in a different location. For best performance it isrecommended that the RSSI be higher than 76.5. Press the Esc key to stop the test.6. Tighten the U-bolts (or metal band) over the antenna to secure it to the pole.

Maximum Data Rate ConfigurationBreezeACCESS MMDS Series 17 SU-I-D Installation Manual5. MAXIMUM DATA RATE CONFIGURATION1. If the average RSSI reading using the Average RSSI Continuous Display islower than 76, the default data rate of 3 Mbps is too high and the data rate ofthe unit should be configured accordingly:2. From the main menu, type 3 to access the Basic Configuration menu. Type 5to access the Maximum Data Rate menu.i) Type 3 (3Mbps) if the RSSI reading is higher than 76 units.ii) Type 2 (2Mbps) if the RSSI reading is between 66 to 76 units.iii) Type 1 (1Mbps) if the RSSI reading is lower than 66 units.3.

Itsexceptionally small size and light weight enables it to be directly mounted on theantenna by means of the female RF IN connector. Power is obtained through anRG-59 coaxial cable connected to the power supply. The LNA 10 is internallyprotected against lightning and voltage surge protection.The Power Supply (PS) and Power Inserter are supplied with the LNA 10.The RG-59 coaxial cable with F-type connector is not supplied and must bepurchased separately.A.2.1 Installing the LNA 10Before installing the LNA 10, the following steps must be taken:1. Choose one of the antenna connectors to be used for reception. Thisconnector is called the receive antenna of the unit. The other connector iscalled the transmit antenna of the unit.2. Use the terminal to set the unit’s transmit diversity option to the selectedantenna (see Section). This prevents transmission from going through theLNA 10.3. Connect the LNA 10 RF input directly and as close as possible to the receiveantenna.4. Attach the LNA 10 RF output directly to the RF cable going down to thereceive antenna connector on the BreezeACCESS unit.5. Connect the RG-59 coaxial cable which leads down to the Power Inserter tothe Signal and Power out connector on the LNA 10.6. Connect the Power Inserter to the power supply (both are indoor units).7. For transmission, use a separate antenna connected to the other antennaconnector (transmit antenna) of the BreezeACCESS unit.

Appendix ASU-I-D Installation Manual 28 BreezeACCESS-MMDS SeriesA.3 RFS 122 Radio Frequency SplitterThe RFS 122 Radio Frequency Splitter is used to split the RF signal generated bya transmitter into two signals. These signals are then sent to two different andindependent antennas. The RFS 122 enables radio transmission using twodirectional antennas connected to the same port of the BreezeACCESS unit.Similarly, the splitter is used to combine two receiving antennas to one antennaconnector.Before installing the RFS 122, use the terminal to configure the unit’s transmitdiversity option to transmit through Antenna 2 only, and connect the RFS 122 toantenna connector 2.A.3.1 Installing the RFS 122The following diagram illustrates RFS-122 installation.Figure A-3.

The units receive signal gain and also provide transmit poweramplification.Tx PowerSenseInDCPower Supply12 V DCRxTx Tx AmpRx Amp BandpassFilterTxOutRFRxFigure A-5. AMP 2440 Functional Block DiagramThe amplifier is installed directly at the antenna’s feed point, providingmaximum effectiveness of transmit power which compensates for signal loss inthe transmitter cable to the antenna. Likewise, the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)in the AMP 2440 boosts the receive signal right at the antenna prior toexperiencing the loss in the transmission cable to the radio. This gain alsoovercomes the losses in the transmission cable between the amplifier and theradio. In fact, use of the AMP 2440 bi-directional amplifier will actually increasethe receiver sensitivity of the radio by 4dB. The ultimate result is the bestpossible noise figure and maximum receiver sensitivity. System gains of up to 30dB are typical when amplifiers are used at each end of a link.The AMP 2440 bi-directional amplifier is completely weatherproof and can bebolted to the antenna mast or tower leg using the U-bolt included. The connectorsface down so that gravity will drain all water away from the amplifier enclosure.This will prevent water from settling on the face of the unit. Likewise, since the

Appendix ABreezeACCESS MMDS Series 33 SU-I-D Installation ManualLEDs are also facing downward they can be checked for operation from thebottom of the mast.DC Power to the amplifier is supplied through the transmission cable, using anindoor power supply and DC Injector. The amplifier unit also contains its ownintegral lightning protection and DC surge protection to ensure years ofcontinuous outdoor operation.BreezeCOM provides the user with two models of the AMP 2440 bi-directionalamplifier:• AMP 2440-500. Provides 500 mW (+27dBm) maximum output• AMP 2440-250. Provides 250 mW (+24dBm) maximum outputThe transmit gain for both models is 12 - 15dB. Full output power ofapproximately 500 mW is achieved with 30 mW (+15 dBm) input to theamplifier; 8 mW (+9dBm) for the AMP 2440-250 model. The amplifier goes intolimiting at this point and higher input power results in only slight increases in theoutput power. Up to 100 mW of power may be safely applied directly to theamplifier input without any damage on either model.The AMP 2440 bi-directional amplifier comes with power supplies that havestandard 2.1 mm barrel plugs (which are configured as positive (+) tip andnegative (-) outer conductor). Although normally supplied with a power supply,any regulated 12 Volt DC 1 amp supply can be used. The power supply can beused with 110 or 240 VAC power.A.5.1 Installing the AMP 2440 Bi-Directional AmplifierThe AMP 2440 bi-directional amplifier is designated for installation byprofessional radio installers. Several key factors unique to the particularinstallation determine the power level at the input of the amplifier. The mostimportant consideration is the cable loss in the transmission cable between theradio and the pole mounted amp. The installer should understand these and otherfactors when computing the input power to the amplifier.The AMP 2440 bi-directional amplifier can be mast mounted using the steel U-bolt included with the unit, as shown in Figure A-7. The AMP 2440 bi-

Appendix ASU-I-D Installation Manual 34 BreezeACCESS-MMDS Seriesdirectional amplifier should be installed with the connectors facing downward.After placing the assembly on the mast, use an open-end wrench to carefullytighten the nuts. Take care not to over-tighten the nuts or you may inadvertentlystrip the threads.Figure A-6. AMP 2440 Installation and MountingWARNING! It is very important to waterproof the RF connectors on the AMP2440 bi-directional amplifier.However, it is recommended that you do not seal the connectors until after allsystem tests have been performed. Be sure to use the high quality weatherresistant vapor wrap included with you amplifier kit to seal all the outsideconnections.The DC Power Injector is not in a waterproof enclosure and must be protectedfrom the weather. It can be permanently mounted to a surface using the mountingflanges.Note: When using the 24dB gain dish antenna in the United States, the externalfilter (P/N: SPF-1) must be installed to comply with FCC emissionrequirements.
