BreezeACCESS MMDS Series 1 SU-I/ID Installation Manual1. INTRODUCTIONThis manual describes installation guidelines for BreezeACCESS/MMDS SU-Iand SU-ID Subscriber Units.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 MMDS line of products uses Frequency Hopping SpreadSpectrum radios that operate in Time Duplex Division (TDD) mode in the2.500GHz – 2.686GHz frequency range.The SU-I/ID-MMDS line of Subscriber Units comprises compact units that aredesigned for indoor installation. SU-I units include two 2dBi integrated antennas.SU-ID units have two RF connectors for detached diversity antennas. Detachedantennas can be installed either indoors or outdoors, depending on the specificsite conditions.The SU-I/ID-MMDS is available in two frequency bands:•  SU-I/ID-MMDSa products operate in the 2.500 - 2.600 GHz frequency band.•  SU-I/ID-MMDSb products operate in the 2.596 - 2.686 GHz frequency band.The SU-I/ID-MMDS series includes the following products:•  SU-I/ID-1D-MMDSa/b: supports a single Ethernet device•  SU-I/ID-8D-MMDSa/b: supports up to eight Ethernet workstations/PCs•  SU-I/ID-BD-MMDSa/b: supports a LAN (a bridge functionality)Note: The information contained in this manual is applicable toBreezeACCESS MMDS units with software release 2.5.
 Basic InstallationSU-I/ID Installation Manual 2 BreezeACCESS MMDS Series2. BASIC INSTALLATION2.1 Packing ListThe SU-I/ID units are shipped with the following units and accessories.The exact packing list varies depending on system configuration and orderedequipment.•  SU-I unit (with two integral antennas) or SU-ID unit (without antennas)•  A 5 VDC universal power supply transformer•  Mounting bracket for wall or ceiling installation•  A torque key for antenna connectors (SU-ID units)2.2  Other Required ItemsThe following items must be available for the installation•  Antenna(s)*and RF cable(s)*for SU-ID units (according to specificinstallation requirements)•  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/ID 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.(SU-ID units)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 6.2.4 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. SU-ID units 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.
 Basic InstallationSU-I/ID Installation Manual 4 BreezeACCESS MMDS Series•  For most applications, the most convenient choice is to use SU-I units,equipped with two integral 3dBi omni antennas.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.2.4.3 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.
  Basic InstallationBreezeACCESS/MMDS Series 5 SU-I/ID Installation ManualWhen 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 abuilding 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.
 Basic InstallationSU-I/ID Installation Manual 6 BreezeACCESS MMDS SeriesThe 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.2.5  Wall Mounting the UnitUse the supplied brackets for wall mounting to install the unit on a wall or aceiling.1.

  Aligning the AntennaBreezeACCESS/MMDS Series 15 SU-I/ID 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 analignment procedure 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/ID 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 numberof frames 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/ID 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.L Type 3 (3Mbps) if the RSSI reading is higher than 76 units.LL Type 2 (2Mbps) if the RSSI reading is between 66 to 76 units.LLL Type 1 (1Mbps) if the RSSI reading is lower than 66 units.3.
