The antenna is designed for mounting on a standard communications tower or on a building rooftop, and requires minimal “real estate.” The Access Point connects to the local network device (switch/router) via a standard 10/100BaseT interface. The antenna is connected to the Access Point via 50-ohm low loss coaxial cable. Some ExcelMAX Access Points also contain GPS circuitry that connects to a separate supplied external antenna (supplied by Axxcelera). The antenna is designed for mounting on a standard communications tower or on a building rooftop, and requires minimal “real estate.” The ExcelMAX Management System is typically located at the customer Network Operating Center (NOC), and allows complete control of the Axxcelera ExcelMAX system singly or in a network environment 9 OF 65 EXCELMAX ACCESS POINT CELL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE VERSION 1.4 2.2.1 ExcelMAX Access Point The Access Point is composed of five main physical components: • Access Point – Outdoor Unit • Network Interface Adaptor/AC or DC Power Adaptor • Interconnecting Cable (supplied by the service provider) • AC or DC Power cord (supplied by the service provider, except for some models where the AC cords are included) • Mounting hardware Additionally, some ExcelMAX Access Point units contain GPS circuitry that connects to a separate external antenna (supplied by Axxcelera). Figure 2-1: ExcelMAX Access Point kit 10 OF 65 EXCELMAX ACCESS POINT CELL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE VERSION 1.4 Figure 2-2: ExcelMAX Access Point views Access Point UV-rated, shielded Cat-5 cable (not supplied) Ø 5.2-4.8 mm [Ø.205-.190 in.] RJ-45 to RJ-45 Ethernet Cable (not supplied) AC or DC NIA AC or DC power connection - as appropriate Figure 2-3: Access Point block diagram 11 OF 65 To Computer EXCELMAX ACCESS POINT CELL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE VERSION 1.4 2.2.1.1 OPTIONAL: GPS Synchronization Global Positioning System (GPS) support is a factory-fit option for ExcelMAX Access Points. When supported, a GPS antenna may be connected to each co-located ExcelMAX Access Point to allow them to synchronize their RF transmissions. Although not required for basic system operation, use of the “network synchronization” feature synchronizes Access Points so that they transmit and receive at the same time to limit interference. This function of the GPS reduces adjacent channel interference, and also reduces interference between adjacent base-station sites (i.e., frequency re-use). 2.3 Major Components 2.3.1 Indoor Equipment The indoor equipment consists of the NIA/Power Adapter, which may be an AC or DC variant, according to the model ordered. 2.3.1.1 AC NIA/Power Adapter The AC NIA/Power Adapter (Figure 2-4:) is the customer's interface with the Access Point. The AC NIA/Power Adapter contains interfaces to the AC power supply, customer's data network, and the Access Point connecting cable. The AC NIA/Power Adapter has a power indicator LED that illuminates when power is applied to the AC NIA/Power Adapter. The AC NIA/Power Adapter is wall-mountable using the screw hangers on the back. An included tie wrap is used for strain relief of the interconnecting cable. Figure 2-4: AC NIA/Power Adapter 12 OF 65 EXCELMAX ACCESS POINT CELL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE VERSION 1.4 2.3.1.2 DC NIA/Power Adapter The DC NIA/Power Adapter (Figure 2-5:) is the customer's interface with the Access Point. The DC NIA/Power Adapter contains interfaces to the DC power supply, customer's data network, and the Access Point connecting cable. The DC NIA/Power Adapter has two LEDs: 1) Power Input LED (furthest from the Access Point RJ45) – The Power Input LED lights green when the battery input (-ve supply and return) are wired correctly. It does not check the ground. The Power Input LED lights red if the battery input is reversed (i.e., the -ve supply and return are connected in reverse order). 2) Current Draw LED – The Current Draw LED is either green or unlit. It lights green when the Access Point is drawing a significant current (approximately 0.2A or more). Note The early DC NIA/Power Adapter units are desk mountable, but future units will be wall-mountable with four fixing screws provided by the customer. Figure 2-5: DC NIA/Power Adapter 13 OF 65 EXCELMAX ACCESS POINT CELL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE VERSION 1.4 2.3.2 Interconnecting cable The interconnecting cable is used to connect the Access Point to the NIA. The cable must be straight-through CAT-5, electrically shielded, and outdoor rated. The cable carries Ethernet data as well as DC power from the NIA to the Access Point. Customer equipment requiring Ethernet connectivity may be located up to 100 meters from the outdoor Access Point. The cable must have shielded field-installable connectors on both the Access Point and NIA ends. Wiring distances are illustrated in Figure 2-6:. The Access Point supports MDIX, therefore either a straight cable or a cross-over cable can be used to connect the NIA and any customer equipment.

Catastrophic failures can often be prevented by a regimen of preventative maintenance. The following is a list of maintenance suggestions supported by Axxcelera. 1) Perform regular visual inspections. Check the butyl-rubber waterproofing tape used to cover the cable connectors for integrity. 2) Check areas around ground clamps for any signs of oxidation or corrosion that might compromise the connection. 3) Periodically check the connectors for tightness. 4) Take care not to compromise the integrity of the cabling. IF, RF and Ethernet cabling can become damaged if it becomes pinched, for example during site construction or renovation. 5) Periodically check the integrity of the signal path clearance between the Access Point and the CPE. It may seem obvious, but when service is disrupted, and there is no obvious suspect hardware, it is possible that something in the environment has changed and the RF path itself is suspect. The path that was unobstructed yesterday might not be so clear today. 6) Check for near-field objects. No metallic objects, such as telephone or power wires, poles or fences, should be within the field view of the antenna (+/- 8 degrees) within the first 20 feet. These objects could reflect the microwave energy back to the antenna and distort the RF beam. This reflection could also cause the signal to be directed away from where it is needed. 7) Non-metallic objects in the vicinity can absorb microwave energy; however, when they become wet, these objects can become very reflective. Shots over water or flat surfaces should be avoided because these surfaces cause reflections that increase multipath. Multipath is when the same signal is received twice; one signal is the direct path and the other is the reflected (delayed) signal. The delayed signal can be out of phase with the direct signal and cause cancellation. 8) Periodically check for ground loops that might be introduced into the system inadvertently by engineers adding new equipment without regard to the grounding system already in place. Ground loops can cause noise problems in the system. 59 OF 65 EXCELMAX ACCESS POINT CELL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE VERSION 1.4 Appendix A: NIA/Power Adapter Specifications: Model # TR60A-POE-L Features Specifications • Universal Input: 90 ~ 264Vac • Input Characteristics • Continuous Short Circuit Protection Voltage Frequency Inrush Current Conducted EMI Isolation Leakage Current • Conductive EMI Meets CISPR/FCC Class B • High Efficiency at 75% Minimum • Lighting Protection NOTE 1: Voltage accuracy is set at 60% full load. 2: Add a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor and a 10uf E.L. capacitor to output for Ripple & Noise measuring @20MHz BW. 3: Line regulation is measured from 100Vac to 240Vac with full load. 4: Load regulation is measured from 60% to 100% full load and from 60% to 20% full load(60%+/-40%fullload). 90 ~ 264Vac 47 to 63Hz 50A Max. @ 264Vac CISPR/FCC Class B Input to output = 4,242Vdc 1.5mA max. • Output Characteristics Hold-up Time Short Circuit Protection Over Voltage Protection 8mS typ. @ 115Vac Auto-Recovery Auto-Recovery • Environmental Characteristics 0 ~ 40 ° C Operating Temperature Storage Temperature Operating Humidity Cooling -50 ~70 ° C 5% ~ 95% Free air cooling • Mechanical Outline Dimensions 150mm x 70mm x 35mm Typical at 25 ° C, nominal line and 75% load, unless otherwise Specified.
