Caution
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Statement 1030
Warning
Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards. Statement 1033
Warning
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and
disconnected last. Statement 1046
Warning
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care
not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or death. For
proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (for
example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code,
Section 54). Statement 1052
Warning
Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074
1.
The BS must be installed in accordance with NEC/CEC Articles 800/810/830.
2.
At a minimum, all DC power leads and bonding/grounding straps shall be 6 AWG or 8 AWG copper
conductors.
3.
Power cables in excess of 140 feet in length must have protective devices installed that are UL listed
to UL 492, UL497A or UL497B, UL497C, and UL1449.
4.
The BS must be connected to a power supply/rectifier that is IEC 60950-1 certified (UL listed to
UL60950-1 in North America) having a SELV output.
5.
All power and ground conductors must be mechanically supported to avoid strain of the wires and
connection points.
6.
There must not be a switch or disconnect device installed in the ground cabling.
7.
A UL listed disconnect device, such as a circuit breaker, must be installed between the power supply
and BS chassis connections. The BWX 8415 BS requires a 60V, 15A, 1 sec. max break time circuit
breaker.
8.
Power-interconnect wires between the power supply/rectifier and the BS unit must have heat shrink
tubing applied over the barrel of the terminal lugs after crimping the wire. A picture is provided in
the “Installation” section of this manual.
9.
External power source / supply considerations for the - 40.5V DC to - 58.0V DC BS chassis:
a. An external method of disconnecting each of the DC power Load/Return lines to the BS chassis
is required (i.e. - fuse + disconnect device). The BWX 8415 BS requires a 15A circuit breaker.
b. The external power supply shall be at least 1000 Watt rating, with a maximum current > 20
amps.
BWX 8415 Basestation Installation and Commissioning Guide

OL-19519-01
Chapter 1
Safety
Safety Information
P R E L I M I N A RY
c. The external DC power source, if current limited, shall have the limit set-point configured
higher than the BS Chassis breaker rating. (i.e. - If the power source is current limited to 10
amps and the BS circuit breaker is a 15 amp breaker, it will never trip because the power supply
is limiting the current to 10 amps.)
d. The external supply "Return" and the BS chassis shall be connected to a common Earth ground.
The BS Chassis has an external ground lug provided. The “+” terminal on the external power
supply is considered “Return or RTN” on a -48V system.
e. Do not remove protective earth connection before disconnecting the BS from the DC power
supply.

Overview
3.1 Scope of this Guide
This document was created specifically for the BWX 8415 Basestation (BS), which allows service
providers to service users with Mobile WiMAX technology.
WiMAX is a standards-based, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access (OFDMA)
technology. The procedures in this document are non-frequency specific. This guide serves as the
instructions for all BWX 8415 BS installations.
3.2 How to Use This Guide
Properly installing and commissioning a BS into commercial operation begins with planning. Cisco
advises skills-certified Installation & Commissioning Technicians to review this entire document and its
referenced material at the beginning of a successful deployment.
Cisco is serious about ensuring your success. In fact, Cisco does not warranty its hardware if the BS has
not been deployed by a Cisco skills-certified Installation & Commissioning Technician. To install and
commission a BS, you will need a standard toolkit, as well as Cisco-specific tools, software,
documentation, and forms that are explained in this guide.
Some procedures described in this guide are optional because they depend upon a particular
configuration or service provider preference. If you are not certain whether or not you should perform
an optional task, please feel free to contact your account representative or Cisco Technical Assistance
Center (TAC) for assistance. Unless specified as optional, assume the procedure or task must be
completed.

3.4 BWX 8415 Basestation Components
A Cisco BWX Mobile WiMAX system provides wireless broadband access to a core network, typically to the
Internet or to any local or wide area network (LAN/WAN). When a service provider has established BS’s in
a given coverage area, the subscriber connects a BWX 350 USB Modem or other WiMAX-certified device to
their computer to access the network without the need for a professional installer.
This is what Cisco refers to when it says its system is “zero-install®”: no truck rolls, no professional
installation schedule for the consumer. In fact, some service providers have their subscribers pick up
their modems at retail stores, or, in some cases, simply mail the modems to the subscribers. The
subscriber modem is generally referred to as Subscriber Station (SS). The SS can be a BWX 350 USB
Modem, which inserts into the USB slot of a laptop computer, or another WiMAX-certified device.
In Release 10.0 Cisco offers three subscriber stations (SS): the BWX 320 IDU modem, the BWX 350
USB modem, and the BWX 360 Outdoor modem. The BWX 320 IDU modem connects to PCs, utilizing
the ethernet connection of the PC and covers a 5 MHz frequency range, the BWX 350 USB modem plugs
into laptops, utilizing the USB port of the PC and covers a 5 MHz frequency range, and the BWX 360
Outdoor modem connects to PCs, utilizing the ethernet connection of the PC and covers a 5 or 10 MHz
frequency range.
The entire BWX Mobile WiMAX system (Figure 3-1) has six main components: one or more
basestations, Subscriber Stations (SSs, also referred to as modems), the Element Management System
(EMS), the Broadband Wireless Gateway (BWG), the Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting
(AAA) server, and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol/Domain Name Server (DHCP/DNS)
server. The BS portion of the system consists of the Radio Unit (RU) and the Antenna Unit (AU).

SS
The BS performs the conversion of RF signals to digital signals for packets transmitted uplink (SS to BS),
and converts digital signals to RF signals for packets transmitted downlink (BS to SS). The BS interfaces with
the BWG and either directs traffic to/from the BWG (residential service) or tags the traffic to route to/from a
private network (Business/Enterprise service).
The BS uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna connected to the built-in GPS circuit.
Warranty and ongoing TAC support on the BS only covers BSs deployed with the supported
configuration.
The EMS is a set of software applications that the service provider uses to configure, communicate with,
and manage all the system elements directly related to the Broadband Wireless Access system. EMS
provides a single point for managing BWG-to-BS, BWG-to-EMS, BS, and SS communications in a
WiMAX network.
The EMS is an IP-based element manager designed in a server-client relationship and runs on either Windows
or Solaris Operating Systems. Most service providers use the Client EMS Configuration & Alarm Manager
(CAM) application to interface with the system. All of the functions that can be performed through the CAM
can also be performed through a Command Line Interface (CLI), which is a common computing language
across platforms. In addition, the CLI can run scripts consisting of a text file with CLI commands. This
functionality is not available in the CAM.

3.5 Beamforming
P R E L I M I N A RY
3.5 Beamforming
Cisco BWX 8415 Basestation antennas contain eight elements (Figure 3-2), with a gain of 16 dBi. Their
combined effect is to concentrate the downlink data into a beam with maximum gain at the location of
each target SS (Figure 3-3).
Similarly, in the uplink the data transmitted by each SS is received by the eight antenna elements with
different phases due to the differences in propagation distance from an SS to each antenna element. The
contributions from an SS are added up coherently after adjusting their phases for maximum gain. This
effect, which we call beamforming, is equivalent to having up to 18 dB of additional gain in the downlink
and up to 9 dB additional gain in the uplink. It allows the Cisco BWX Mobile WiMAX system to operate
at a much lower power level than would otherwise be necessary for the same results.
