INTRODUCTION This manual describes installation guidelines for BreezeACCESS-MMDS SU-I Subscriber Units. The BreezeACCESS IP Broadband Wireless Local Loop (WLL) 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 BreezeACCESS 2.5 line of products uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum radios that operate in Time Duplex Division (TDD) mode in the 2.500GHz – 2.686GHz frequency range. The SU-I-D-MMDS line of Subscriber Units comprises compact units that are designed for indoor installation. Antennas can be installed either indoors or outdoors, depending on the specific site conditions. The SU-I-D-MMDS series include the following products: • • • SU-I-1D-MMDS: supports a single Ethernet device SU-I-8D-MMDS: supports up to eight Ethernet workstations/PCs SU-I-BD-MMDS: supports a LAN (a bridge functionality) Note: The information contained in this manual is applicable to BreezeACCESS MMDS units with software release 2.3. BreezeACCESS MMDS Series SU-I-D Installation Manual Basic Installation 2. BASIC INSTALLATION 2.1 Packing List The SU-I units are shipped with the following units and accessories. The exact packing 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 connectors 2.2 Other Required Items The following items must be available for the installation • Antenna(s)*and RF cable(s)*(according to specific installation requirements)* • A PC with terminal emulation program • A monitor cable* (supplied with each AU) • An Ethernet cable (straight) • Installation tools and materials Items marked with an asterisk (*) are available from BreezeCOM. SU-I-D Installation Manual BreezeACCESS-MMDS Series Basic Installation 2.3 Installation Overview Standard installation involves the following steps: 1. Verify that all components of the packing list, described in Section 2.1, are intact and verify availability of the required items listed in Section 2.2. 2. Install the unit and antenna(s) in optimal locations as described in Section 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 Maximum Data 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 Applications For most indoor applications, the best choice is the standard unit equipped with its screw-on 2dBi antennas. The units are small, easy to install and cover a large area. In some installations, it is required to install the unit and antenna separately. In such instances, use the omni-6 antenna kit (6dbi omni-directional antenna with 3 meter 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 wallmounted, but its radiation pattern is limited (75°). BreezeCOM recommends that, for indoor applications, you use two antennas per unit to utilize the diversity gain of the system. BreezeACCESS MMDS Series SU-I-D Installation Manual Basic Installation 2.4 Installation Guidelines This section describes the installation guidelines and the various considerations that 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 wall using a mounting bracket. The unit should be installed as near to the antenna(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, airconditioners, etc. 2.4.2 Location of the Antenna(s) • Any physical object in the path between two units can cause signal attenuation. Common obstructions are buildings and trees. If a unit’s antenna is installed indoors, the walls and/or windows between the two sites are physical obstructions. If the antenna is positioned outdoors, any buildings or other physical structure such as trees, mountains or other natural geographic features higher than the antenna and situated in the path between the two sites can constitute obstructions. • Install indoor antennas as close as possible to a window (or wall if a window is not accessible) facing the required direction. Avoid metal obstacles such as metal window frames or metal film anti-glare windows in the transmission path. Install outdoor antennas high enough to avoid any obstacles, which may block the signal. • Position the antennas clear of metal furniture and away from moving metal objects such as metal fans or doors. • For best performance, position the antennas clear of radiation sources that emit in the 2.5 - 2.7 GHz frequency band, such as microwave ovens. SU-I-D Installation Manual BreezeACCESS-MMDS Series Basic Installation 2.4.3 Antenna Diversity In applications where no multipath propagation is expected, a single antenna is sufficient to ensure good performance levels. However, in cases where multipath propagation exists, BreezeCOM recommends that two antennas be used. This takes advantage of space diversity capabilities. By using two antennas per unit, the system can select the best antenna on a per-packet basis (every several milliseconds). Multipath propagation is to be expected when there are potential reflectors between the Access Unit and Subscriber Units. These reflectors may be buildings or moving objects such as airplanes and motor vehicles. If this is the case, the radio signal does not travel in a straight line, but is reflected or deflected off of the object, creating multiple propagation paths. When installing a single antenna, modify the transmit diversity option to either antenna 1 or antenna 2, according to the antenna being used. 2.4.4 Antenna Polarization Antenna polarization must be the same at either end of the link. In most applications, the preferred orientation is vertical polarization. Above-ground propagation of the signal is better when it is polarized vertically. To verify antenna polarization, refer to the assembly instructions supplied with the antenna set. For screw-on and detached omni antennas, make sure that the antennas are extended upward vertically in relation to the floor to achieve vertical polarization. 2.4.5 Antenna Seal When 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 Protection Lightning protection is designed to protect people, property and equipment by providing a path to ground for the lightning’s energy. The lightning arrestor diverts the strike energy to ground through a deliberate and controlled path instead of allowing it to choose a random path. Lightning protection for a BreezeACCESS MMDS Series SU-I-D Installation Manual Basic Installation building is more forgiving than protection of electronic devices. A building can withstand up to 100,000 volts, but electronic equipment may be damaged by just a few volts. Lightning protection entails connecting an antenna discharge unit (also called an arrestor) to each cable as close as possible to the point where it enters the building. 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 the cable enters the building. The arrestor is connected to the unit at one end and to the antenna at the other end. The professional installer you choose must be knowledgeable about lightning protection. The installer must install the lightning protector in a way that maximizes lightning protection. BreezeCOM offers the following high-quality lightning 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 installed ONLY by experienced antenna installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void the BreezeACCESS Product Warranty and may expose the end user to legal and financial liabilities. BreezeCOM and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation of government regulations associated with the installation of detached antennas.

SU-I-D Installation Manual 14 BreezeACCESS-MMDS Series Aligning the Antenna 4. ALIGNING THE ANTENNA Omni and low gain antennas do not require alignment due to their wide radiation pattern. High gain antennas have a narrow beamwidth, necessitating an alignment procedure in order to optimize the link. For Subscriber Units with directional antenna(s), you can either use the LED indicators on the front panel of the unit or view the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) on the monitor. In most installations, alignment using the LEDs is sufficient. The RSSI reading can be used when finer alignment is required. Note: Antenna alignment of the Subscriber Unit is possible only after the Access Unit you wish to associate with is operational and the ESSID was properly configured. 4.1 Aligning the Antenna Using the LEDs 1. Synchronize the units by aligning the antenna manually to point to the base station until the WLNK indicator LED on the front panel of the unit illuminates. 2. Rotate the antenna left and/or right until you reach the point of signal quality reading on the quality (QLT) LEDs. The higher the number of illuminated LEDs the better is the quality of the link. Make sure that at all times, the front 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 is not possible, improve the link quality by placing the antenna at a higher point or in a different location. 4. After the antenna is optimally aligned, tighten the U-bolts (or metal band) to secure the antenna to the pole. BreezeACCESS MMDS Series 15 SU-I-D Installation Manual Aligning the Antenna 4.2 Aligning the Antenna Using the Site Survey Menu 1. 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 start the Continuous RSSI Display. Each line in the display includes the number of frames that were received since the last measurement (total Rx) and the average RSSI for these frames. 3. Rotate the antenna left and/or right until you reach the point of maximum RSSI reading. Make sure that at all times, the front of the antenna faces the general direction of the Base Station. 4. For proper operation, the RSSI reading should be at least 52 units. When the maximum reading is less than 52 units, try to improve it by placing the antenna at a higher point or in a different location. For best performance it is recommended 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. SU-I-D Installation Manual 16 BreezeACCESS-MMDS Series Maximum Data Rate Configuration 5. MAXIMUM DATA RATE CONFIGURATION 1. If the average RSSI reading using the Average RSSI Continuous Display is lower than 76, the default data rate of 3 Mbps is too high and the data rate of the unit should be configured accordingly: 2. From the main menu, type 3 to access the Basic Configuration menu. Type 5 to 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. Reset the unit for the new configuration to become effective. BreezeACCESS MMDS Series 17 SU-I-D Installation Manual Verifying Proper Operation 6.

OPTIONAL RF ACCESSORIES This appendix introduces some of the accessories available for specific installations, and describes how to install them. A.1 TPA 24 Transmit Power Amplifier (Booster) The TPA 24 Transmit Power Amplifier is used to amplify the transmit power to a fixed output of 24 dBm (250 mW). The TPA 24 is especially useful when long RF cable runs are required. In addition, the TPA 24 simplifies antenna alignment by enabling the use of wider dispersion transmit antennas. The TPA 24 is internally protected against lightning and voltage surge protection. The TPA 24 comes in two models: • The TPA 24 NL receives input power in the range of -10dBm to 0dBm. • The TPA 24 NH receives an input power of 0dBm to +10dBm. Both models amplify the input power to a fixed output level of 24dBm (250mW). The TPA is powered by 12VDC carried from the power inserter by the RF cable. Note: The TPA 24 is not available in the USA due to FCC regulations. When used in compliance with ETSI regulations, the TPA 24 can be connected to cables and antennas resulting in a total transmitted power of 20dBm (100 mW) EIRP.

SU-I-D Installation Manual 24 BreezeACCESS-MMDS Series Appendix A A.2 LNA 10 Low Noise Receive Amplifier The LNA 10 is a high-performance, low-noise preamplifier designed to enhance fringe area reception and provide additional gain on the receive antenna. Its exceptionally small size and light weight enables it to be directly mounted on the antenna by means of the female RF IN connector. Power is obtained through an RG-59 coaxial cable connected to the power supply. The LNA 10 is internally protected 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 be purchased separately. A.2.1 Installing the LNA 10 Before installing the LNA 10, the following steps must be taken: 1. Choose one of the antenna connectors to be used for reception. This connector is called the receive antenna of the unit. The other connector is called the transmit antenna of the unit. 2. Use the terminal to set the unit’s transmit diversity option to the selected antenna (see Section). This prevents transmission from going through the LNA 10. 3. Connect the LNA 10 RF input directly and as close as possible to the receive antenna. 4. Attach the LNA 10 RF output directly to the RF cable going down to the receive antenna connector on the BreezeACCESS unit. 5. Connect the RG-59 coaxial cable which leads down to the Power Inserter to the 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 antenna connector (transmit antenna) of the BreezeACCESS unit.

BreezeACCESS MMDS Series 27 SU-I-D Installation Manual Appendix A A.3 RFS 122 Radio Frequency Splitter The RFS 122 Radio Frequency Splitter is used to split the RF signal generated by a transmitter into two signals. These signals are then sent to two different and independent antennas. The RFS 122 enables radio transmission using two directional antennas connected to the same port of the BreezeACCESS unit. Similarly, the splitter is used to combine two receiving antennas to one antenna connector. Before installing the RFS 122, use the terminal to configure the unit’s transmit diversity option to transmit through Antenna 2 only, and connect the RFS 122 to antenna connector 2. A.3.1 Installing the RFS 122 The following diagram illustrates RFS-122 installation. Figure A-3.

BreezeACCESS MMDS Series 31 SU-I-D Installation Manual Appendix A A.5 AMP 2440 Bi-Directional Amplifier The AMP 2440 is a bi-directional amplifier designed for extending the range of BreezeACCESS wireless LAN radios. The unit operates automatically, therefore there is no need for manual adjustments. The units receive signal gain and also provide transmit power amplification. Tx Power Sense Tx Amp Tx RF Tx Out In Rx 12 V DC Rx Amp Bandpass Filter Rx DC Power Supply Figure A-5. AMP 2440 Functional Block Diagram The amplifier is installed directly at the antenna’s feed point, providing maximum effectiveness of transmit power which compensates for signal loss in the transmitter cable to the antenna. Likewise, the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) in the AMP 2440 boosts the receive signal right at the antenna prior to experiencing the loss in the transmission cable to the radio. This gain also overcomes the losses in the transmission cable between the amplifier and the radio. In fact, use of the AMP 2440 bi-directional amplifier will actually increase the receiver sensitivity of the radio by 4dB. The ultimate result is the best possible noise figure and maximum receiver sensitivity. System gains of up to 30 dB are typical when amplifiers are used at each end of a link. The AMP 2440 bi-directional amplifier is completely weatherproof and can be bolted to the antenna mast or tower leg using the U-bolt included. The connectors face 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 SU-I-D Installation Manual 32 BreezeACCESS-MMDS Series Appendix A LEDs are also facing downward they can be checked for operation from the bottom of the mast. DC Power to the amplifier is supplied through the transmission cable, using an indoor power supply and DC Injector. The amplifier unit also contains its own integral lightning protection and DC surge protection to ensure years of continuous outdoor operation. BreezeCOM provides the user with two models of the AMP 2440 bi-directional amplifier: • AMP 2440-500. Provides 500 mW (+27dBm) maximum output • AMP 2440-250. Provides 250 mW (+24dBm) maximum output The transmit gain for both models is 12 - 15dB. Full output power of approximately 500 mW is achieved with 30 mW (+15 dBm) input to the amplifier; 8 mW (+9dBm) for the AMP 2440-250 model. The amplifier goes into limiting at this point and higher input power results in only slight increases in the output power. Up to 100 mW of power may be safely applied directly to the amplifier input without any damage on either model. The AMP 2440 bi-directional amplifier comes with power supplies that have standard 2.1 mm barrel plugs (which are configured as positive (+) tip and negative (-) outer conductor). Although normally supplied with a power supply, any regulated 12 Volt DC 1 amp supply can be used. The power supply can be used with 110 or 240 VAC power. A.5.1 Installing the AMP 2440 Bi-Directional Amplifier The AMP 2440 bi-directional amplifier is designated for installation by professional radio installers. Several key factors unique to the particular installation determine the power level at the input of the amplifier. The most important consideration is the cable loss in the transmission cable between the radio and the pole mounted amp. The installer should understand these and other factors when computing the input power to the amplifier. The AMP 2440 bi-directional amplifier can be mast mounted using the steel Ubolt included with the unit, as shown in Figure A-7. The AMP 2440 bi- BreezeACCESS MMDS Series 33 SU-I-D Installation Manual Appendix A directional amplifier should be installed with the connectors facing downward. After placing the assembly on the mast, use an open-end wrench to carefully tighten the nuts. Take care not to over-tighten the nuts or you may inadvertently strip the threads. Figure A-6. AMP 2440 Installation and Mounting WARNING! It is very important to waterproof the RF connectors on the AMP 2440 bi-directional amplifier. However, it is recommended that you do not seal the connectors until after all system tests have been performed. Be sure to use the high quality weather resistant vapor wrap included with you amplifier kit to seal all the outside connections. The DC Power Injector is not in a waterproof enclosure and must be protected from the weather. It can be permanently mounted to a surface using the mounting flanges. Note: When using the 24dB gain dish antenna in the United States, the external filter (P/N: SPF-1) must be installed to comply with FCC emission requirements.
