Table 7-5 Required Tools and Equipment Tools Required Phillips-head screwdriver Flat head screwdriver Power drill 1/8 inch drill bit Equipment Required Screws Wallboard inserts Quantity Adaptive Broadband U-NII Product Installation Manual 07/04/2001 7-6 Company Proprietary 1. Select a location for the junction box. This should be: • Somewhere you can easily connect to your PC and a power outlet. • Somewhere that is accessible for service and troubleshooting (not too close to the floor). 2. Remove the two screws which attach the junction box faceplate to the wall mount. 3. Set aside the faceplate with PCB and jack. Attention! Be careful not to damage the two LEDs when removing the PCB. 4. On the Wall Mount portion of the Wall Box, use a flat head screwdriver, or a pair of thinnosed pliers, to break out the pre-scored section of casing wall along the bottom edge of the junction box (see Figure 7-7). This is where later on you will route the interconnect cable. Figure 7-7 Junction Box Wall Mount (Face Plate and PCB Removed) 5. Using the wall plate as a template, mark the mounting hole locations, as shown in Figure 6-7. 6. Drill 1/8 inch diameter holes at the marked locations. 7. Insert the wallboard inserts. For now, set the junction box to one side, leaving it disassembled. You will reassemble it and mount it on the wall when you have prepared and routed the interconnect cable and grounded the system. 7.5 Installing the Interconnect Cable 7.5.1 Routing the Interconnect Cable Now that you have installed the outdoor Subscriber Unit and indoor junction box, you are ready to route the interconnect cable. 1. Select where the cable will enter the building from the outside (Figure 7-8). Adaptive Broadband U-NII Product Installation Manual 07/04/2001 7-7 Company Proprietary NOTE - Add a drip loop at wall penetration to prevent water from entering Figure 7-8 Interconnect Cable Routing Solutions 2. Once you have chosen the route, determine the length of cable required. Allow three extra feet on each end to allow for strain relief as well as any bends and turns. 3. Install the cable, leaving the ends free and ready to fit the RJ-45 connector (transceiver end), and install to the indoor junction box. 4. Remember to form a drip loop on the exterior of the building where the cable enters the penetration. This will help prevent water from entering. 7.5.2 Preparing the Interconnect Cable Table 7-6 shows the tools you need to install an RJ-45 connector on the outdoor subscriber end of the interconnect cable. Table 7-6 Required Tools and Equipment Tools Equipment Crimping tool (specific to RJ-45 RJ-45 connector (metal bodied) used) Wire stripper Small wire cutters Quantity 1. Remove the grommet (Figure 7-9) and clamping plate from the Subscriber Unit by undoing the two screws. Be careful not to lose them if you are working on a ladder. Adaptive Broadband U-NII Product Installation Manual 07/04/2001 7-8 Company Proprietary NOTE: The Grommet is made of a special conductive material used to complete the ground between the Subscriber Unit and indoor junction box. Figure 7-9 Grommet Location -- Underside of Subscriber Unit 2. Insert the cable end through the grommet clamping plate (Figure 7-10). 1. Insert the cable end through the grommet. The tapered end of the grommet should be opposite the cable end. 2. Strip 1 inch of insulation off the cable end. Leave 3/8 inch of shielding showing, and trim the wire ends flat ½ inch from there. 3. Using a piece of 1inch squared tinned copper foil, wrap the foil around the shield/braid and sheath with the left edge aligned with the edge of the braid, as shown in the following Figures 7-10 and 7-11. 1" square tinned copper foil - wrap the copper foil around the shield/braid and sheath with the left edge aligned with the edge of the braid.

Separate the twisted pair wires and align by color code in the order listed in the following Table 7-7. Figure 7-11 Outdoor Subscriber Unit End of the Interconnect Cable with Shielding Table 7-7 Cable Legend for Interconnect Cable Pin Color Code White / Orange Orange White / Green Blue White / Blue Green White / Brown Brown 5. Using pin 1 as a reference, insert the individual wires into the channels of the RJ-45 connector. Each wire should penetrate the channels until flush with the connector end. The copper foil tape should extend past the casing of the RJ-45 connector by approximately ½ inch. 6. When all wires are inserted into the channels in their correct order, use the crimping tool to permanently crimp the wires to the connector. Attention! Carefully read the instructions for the crimping tool you are using. Use the correct crimping tool for the RJ-45 connector you are using. Incorrect installation of the RJ-45 connector may result in a bad connection between the outdoor transceiver and the indoor junction box. Adaptive Broadband U-NII Product Installation Manual 07/04/2001 7-10 Company Proprietary 7.5.3 Connecting to the Outdoor Subscriber Unit Transceiver Now that you have prepared the interconnect cable, you are ready to connect the cable to the outdoor Subscriber Unit. Attention! Always Disconnect Power from wall box BEFORE inserting RJ-45 connector into transceiver. This prevents arcing damage from occurring. 1. Insert the RJ-45 connector into the receptacle located underneath the outdoor Subscriber Unit (refer to Figure 6-9). Make sure that the connector tab engages the slot in the receptacle. 2. Slide the grommet up the cable and press it into the bottom of the outdoor transceiver. 3. Slide the grommet clamp up the cable and align the holes with the mounting holes on the bottom of the outdoor transceiver. 4. Insert the two screws in the mounting holes and tighten until the grommet has a slight bulge. Be sure to tighten both screws equally so that the grommet is seated correctly. 5. Secure the interconnect cable to the mounting pole with the cable clip, as shown in Figure 7-12. Figure 7-12 Interconnect Cable Installation to Subscriber Unit -- Bottom View 7.5.4 Connecting to the Indoor Junction Box Note that the junction box should still be disassembled and not screwed to the wall at this point. 1. Strip 2 inches of insulation off the junction box end of the interconnect cable. Attention! Don’t cut off the shield from the cable – you will need it to ground the system later. Adaptive Broadband U-NII Product Installation Manual 07/04/2001 7-11 Company Proprietary 2. Insert the cable end through the notched out section of the junction box. 3. Reinstall the PCB into the junction box using the two screws, allowing enough of the interconnect cable to be able to reach the punch down block and wrap around the mounts of the cover plate for strain relief. 4. Using Figure 7-13 as a guide, use the 110 punch down tool to punch down each wire into the slot on the punch down block (reference the following Figure 6-16 which shows the inside of the Junction Box). Figure 7-13 Interconnect Cable Connections to Indoor Junction Box 5. Snip off excess wire ends, if necessary. Attention! Avoid excessive wire loops when connecting the wire to the punch down block. For now, set the junction box to one side leaving it disassembled. You will reassemble it and mount it on the wall when you have grounded the system. 7.6 Grounding The System The AB-Access System must be properly grounded in order to protect it and the building it is installed on from lightning damage. This requires grounding both the outdoor transceiver and indoor junction box. The following Table 7-8 describes the tools you will need to ground the system.

Figure 8-4 DB-9 To RJ-45 Converter Adaptive Broadband U-NII Product Installation Manual 07/04/2001 8-3 Company Proprietary SECTION 9 Testing the System 9 Testing the System 9.1 Introduction This section explains how to: • Power up your AB-Access System • Use a PC (known as the Test PC) to check the alignment of your outdoor transceiver • Make sure you have the best connection to your service provider. Attention! This operation may need two people – one to operate the Test PC and one to align the outdoor transceiver. Note: For purposes of AB-Access Extender, the two ends of the AB-Access Extender link appear like static point-to-point AP and SUs with respect to testing. 9.2 Equipment Required You will need the following equipment to test your AB-Access System: • Standalone PC or laptop (Test PC) with a web browser (e.g., Netscape Navigator 4.5 or higher, Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher). • Standard 10Base-T Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors to connect the Test PC to the indoor junction box. You will also need to know the correct IP address and subnet mask to configure the Test PC. Your service provider should have supplied these. The defaults for an SU are 192.168.3.254 Netmask 255.255.255.0. 9.3 Testing In order to be able to check the alignment of your outdoor transceiver, along with the connection to your service provider, you need to know how to configure an IP address and subnet mask. If you are not sure how to do this, look in the manual that came with the PC you are using as the Test PC. You could also check the online help. 9.3.1 Connecting Test PC 1. Connect the Test PC to the indoor junction box using a standard 10Base-T Ethernet cable (with RJ-45 connectors). 2. Insert the power plug adapter into the indoor junction box. 3. Insert the AC power plug into an AC outlet. 4. Check the LEDs on the junction box. Adaptive Broadband U-NII Product Installation Manual 07/04/2001 9-1 Company Proprietary Attention! If the yellow LED is on, this indicates that power is being supplied to the unit. If not, check the connections. 9.4 Configure The IP Address 1. Switch on the Test PC. 2. Configure the Test PC to use the recommended IP address supplied by your system provider or installer (example: 192.168.3.1). 3. Configure the Test PC to use the recommended netmask supplied by your system provider or installer. Attention! These steps make sure that the test PC is on the same subnet as the AB-Access System. The last number in the Test PC’s IP address must be different from the last number in the IP address of the AB-Access System (see below). 9.5 Using the RSSI Interface for RF Alignment One of more challenging aspects to RF systems is proper alignment of antennas. With distances up to 3 miles, it can be very difficult to align an SU with an AP. To solve this problem, the RF signal strength and packet error rate can be measured to provide feedback, which can be used to properly align a unit. This information is typically called the Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). While the RSSI interface is always present, it is primarily designed for use with SUs being initially deployed. To use the RSSI interface, the SU should be set to “installation” mode when upgraded in the Operation Center. Installation mode is used for SUs to be used in a dynamic registration (EMS) environment. When an SU is in installation mode, the SU will wait for the installer to align the antenna and will register only after the installer has initiated the registration sequence via the browser interface. This is slightly different from registration mode, where the SU automatically registers with the strongest AP immediately after booting. For realignment, the SU must be set back into Installation mode from the hmm sub process by issuing the command: hmm> system mode installation While the RSSI interface is always present, when not set to Installation mode, the SU will not attempt registration once the proper channel is selected. The RSSI application can also be effective in Static or Registration mode in analyzing the RF landscape with respect to other AB-Access components. Using the RSSI interface, the network manager can get readings on RSSI and Packet Error Rates in a convenient display. The only difference is the SU to register in these modes. Registration via the RSSI interface only occurs when the unit is in Installation mode. Adaptive Broadband U-NII Product Installation Manual 07/04/2001 9-2 Company Proprietary To take advantage of this information, the AB-Access Subscriber Units contain an interface, which allows the installer to properly align the unit. Once an SU is mounted in place and roughly aligned using a compass, the installer can attach a computer to the terrestrial interface of the SU and interact with the RSSI web page on the SU to perform alignment (reference Figures 9-1 and 9-2). Connecting to the SU and enabling the RSSI interface is performed in the manner described in the following sections. NOTE: The RSSI interface is best viewed using a screen resolution of at least 800x600 with 256 colors. Netscape Navigator is recommended as the viewing browser, reference following Figure 9-1 RSSI Sample Web Page. 9.6 Display The Security Page 1. From your Test PC, start up a web browser. 2. In the URL field, enter the default IP address of the AB-Access System (supplied by your service provider (example, http://192.168.3.2). 3. The Security screen appears as shown in Figure 9-1. Figure 9-1 Security Screen 9.7 Optimize The Antenna Alignment At the security screen, enter the Service Provider Identifier and Security Key. supplied by your service provider as a secure login. The key is Click Next. The Antenna Alignment screen appears as shown in Figure 9-2. Adaptive Broadband U-NII Product Installation Manual 07/04/2001 9-3 Company Proprietary Figure 9-2 RSSI Sample Web Page 1. Note the desired channel for registration (example, Channel 14, horizontal polarization). 2. Attach a computer to the terrestrial interface of the SU. 3. Change computer IP address to be in the same subnet as the SU. For example, set the computer to address 192.168.254.1 to connect to an SU with the IP address of 192.168.254.254. 4. Verify connectivity to the SU using the Ping utility (example, ping 192.168.254.254) 5. Open a browser interface on the computer (Netscape Navigator is recommended) 6. Enter the address of the RSSI web interface: Adaptive Broadband U-NII Product Installation Manual 07/04/2001 9-4 Company Proprietary http:///installation/step2 (ex http://192.168.254.254/installation/step2) 7. This will display two columns of data, one column for RF channels using horizontal polarization and a second for vertical polarization. Turn the SU in 2 degree arcs until the channel desired is listed as “Good” and is green in color. 8. Click on the “next” button to initiate registration of the SU with the AB-Access network. The RSSI web interface will refresh itself every 5 seconds, allowing the installer to adjust the SU until the best alignment possible is achieved. The RSSI application will actually rank connection validity. Table 8-1 details these rankings. Table 9-1 RSSI Link Validity Link Validity Good Marginal Bad Color Green Yellow Pink CNR Greater than or equal to 10dB Less than 10dB Non Applicable PER Less than 1% Less than 1% Greater than 5% : PER is Frame Downlink Header Error Rate (FDHDR) : CNR = RSSI –81.6dbm Bad links will not allow any registration. Marginal links will allow registration but may be subject to interference by a number of factors. Good links will be the best selection for registration.

The Anchor Switch (AS) is an ATM access switch that is a component of a Base Station (BS). A device for transmitting and/or receiving radio waves. A data transmission method in which data may be sent at irregular intervals (without reference to clock signals). Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a highperformance, cell-oriented switching and multiplexing technology, which utilizes fixedlength packets to carry different types of traffic. It integrates the multiplexing and switching functions, is well suited for bursty traffic, and allows communications between devices that operate at different speeds. The ATM switch provides layer 2 switching of ATM cells through virtual circuits. An ATM switch is contained in the SU, the AP, and the AS. Rate Service that provides rate-based flow control and is aimed at data traffic such as file transfer and e-mail. The angle along the horizon usually referenced to north. The data carrying capacity of communications channel, measured in Hertz as the difference between the highest and lowest frequencies of the channel. Adaptive Broadband U-NII Product Installation Manual 07/04/2001 11-1 Company Proprietary Base Station The Base Station is the part of the AB-Access System that sends signals to and receives signals from the Subscriber Units (SUs) to enable communication with the WAN. Baud A measure of data transmission speed. The baud rate denotes the number of symbols per second. Bit Error Rate The Bit Error Rate (BER) is the fraction of transmitted bits that are received in error. Cell A 53-Byte packet of data used in ATM networks. Also used to refer to the coverage area of one Base Station. Constant Bit Rate Service that operates on a connection basis (CBR) and offers consistent delay predictability; used for applications such as circuit emulation, voice, and video. Control Server The Control Server (typically one per BS) is a computer responsible for management of the BS, its APs, and the associated SUs. DS1 A data transmission rate of 1.544 Mbps, also referred to as a T-1. DS3 A data transmission rate of 45 Mbps Element Management The Element Management System (EMS), System located on a workstation at an appropriate point in the network, allows you to configure, control, and monitor all components of the AB-Access System. MIB Management information base allows external management system access. Multiplexer A multiplexer is device or system capable of combining elementary streams into one aggregate transport stream. Network A network is an interconnection of computer systems, terminals, or data communications facilities. OC3 A data transmission rate of 155 Mbps Packet A packet is a sequence of data, with associated control information, that is switched and transmitted as a whole. Packet Switching Packet switching is the data transmission method that divides messages into standardsized packets for greater efficiency of routing and transport through a network. Parsing Parsing is the process of analyzing a data stream and breaking it down into more easily processed components.

Subscriber Unit The Subscriber Unit (SU) is the part of the AB-Access System that is installed at the customer premises and provides communication with the Base Station (BS). Synchronous A data transmission method in which data transfer is at a fixed rate. The transmitter and receiver are both controlled by clock pulses. TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, a layered set of protocols that allows sharing of applications among PCs, hosts, or workstations in a high-speed communications environment. The suite of protocols is designed to allow communication between networks regardless of the technologies implemented in each network. TDD Time Division Duplex, the transmission method where a single channel is used to alternately carry data in each direction of a link. Time-Division A form of multiplexing used with digital Multiplexing signals. A device scans individual channels in rotation, takes bits from each channel, transmits the bits in a string (according to a predetermined sequence), and repeats the process. Transmitter A transmitter is an electronic device, consisting of oscillator, modulator, and other circuits, that produce a radio or television electromagnetic wave signal for radiation into the atmosphere by an antenna. Unspecified Bit Rate Service that operates on a connection basis and allows for raw cell or best effort transport by the network. In this service, cells are transported by the network whenever bandwidth is available and traffic is presented by the user.
