Introduction to the MA-860 System
This chapter provides a description of the MA-860 WLAN solution, architecture, installation
configuration, operation and required commissioning procedures.
1.1
About MobileAccess MA-860
Figure 1-1. MobileAccess MA-860
The MA-860 WLAN solution is part of the MobileAccess third generation family of products for
Wireless LAN infrastructure. It is comprised of an MobileAccess 860 WLAN module and WCE,
WiFi coverage expander, in order, to provide a centralized, secure Wi-Fi AP management system
with greater range and coverage visibility by delivering an “access point” in the ceiling behavior
and performance with added benefits of security, management, aesthetics, and leveraging a
single infrastructure to provide a complete set of wireless services.
The MobileAccess 860 WLAN solution offers the ability to leverage a single antenna
infrastructure to deliver not only IEEE 802.11a and 802.11b/g, but a combined services approach
which allows the customer the flexibility to choose one or all MobileAccess supported RF
technologies for distribution over a single antenna infrastructure: Wi-Fi, cellular/PCS, public
safety and/or WMTS while maintaining a reliable application independent architecture.
1.1.1
MA-860 Features and Capabilities
•
Multi-use infrastructure:
•
The same cables and antennas used for Wi-Fi can be used to support the
simultaneous extension and distribution of other wireless voice and data services
Simple installation and maintenance:
Access Points are co-located in the telecom IDF or closet
All data and voice services distributed via a common coax cabling and broadband
antennas
AP Clustering - 802.11 access points (APs) connect to the MA-860 in telecom closets
MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide
Introduction to the MA-860 System
•
•
•
Auto-discovery of WCE, WiFi Coverage Expander units
The WCE is supplied via a low voltage “power over coax” technology to eliminate any
additional wiring or incurred costs of installation.
Scalable: Additional APs connected as needed to the MA-860
Support for four 802.11a/b/g APs (four ’a/b’ and four ‘g’ ports) per 860 WLAN Module
Mobile services from MobileAccess 1000/2000 or WMTS
Cable Compensation:
The MobileAccess 860 WLAN solution together offers the capability to compensate for up
to 250 feet of coaxial cable when deployed without any additional devices in path of the
antenna.
Compensation allows for standardization on supported Access Point vendor design
guidelines
Robust Management Features:
Remote HTTP management capabilities from any supported MobileAccess Web Browser
Local port interface for Management and configuration via an on-board RS232 interface
Familiar standards based SNMP-based management toolset (Standard MIB version 2c)
•
WI-Fi applications transparency - The MA-860 uses discrete, active or passive
antennas to radiate 802.11 signals, providing a coverage architecture that replicates the
behaviors necessary to transparently support advanced AP features and locationsensitive Wi-Fi applications such as RTLS or LBS.
•
High-power - With integral constant gain amplifiers combined with its low-loss
architecture, the MA-860 offers scalable support for demanding applications such as
advanced LWAPP enabled features (dynamic power and Channel), wireless VoIP, and
802.11a
•
Automatic Gain Control – by default, when comprised with the WCE unit, the
MobileAccess WLAN solution automatically compensates for the attenuation and losses that
are incurred from distributing both the 802.11a and 802.11b/g RF across coaxial cables.
•
Redundancy – reliability; no single point of failure dual power supply option.
MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide
Introduction to the MA-860 System
1.2
System Architecture
The MA-860 system consists of the following main functional modules:
•
MA-860 WLAN module – provides support for up to four 802.11a and 802.11b/g access
point radios in a 1:1 relationship between the access point connector port(s) and antenna
port. Support remote Web based management and configuration through any standard
supported HTTP web browser.
•
Wi-Fi Coverage Expander (WCE) units – WLAN signal amplification unit installed
adjacent to each antenna via a standard patch cable. This device provides the capability
independently compensate for both 802.11a and 802.11b/g. A maximum distance of 250
feet of cable losses can be compensated from the 860 WLAN module.
•
Multi-service Antennas – MobileAccess or any compatible multi-service antennas.
complete list of MobileAccess certified antennas can be referenced in section 3.4.1.
•
Access Point – Any MobileAccess certified IEEE 802.11a/b/g access point. A complete list
of MobileAccess approved access point vendors can be referenced in section 3.5.1.
The following figure illustrates the MA-860 services converged with MA2000 services.
Detailed information on the various installations is given in section 1.4.

MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide
Introduction to the MA-860 System
1.3
Distribution of Services in the MA-860
The MobileAccess 860 WLAN solution offers the capability of distributing any array of
MobileAccess supported RF spectrums/technologies: Wi-Fi, Cellular, Public Safety, and/or WMTS
services via the same antenna infrastructure. The 802.11a/b/g signals from each AP port are
directly connected and distributed to the corresponding antenna port along with any additional
mobile services connected to the mobile services ports.
For example, the signals from an AP connected to MA-860 b/g-1 and a-1 are routed to
antenna-1 along with mobile services connected to Mobile port-1. Signals from an AP
connected to MA-860 b/g-2 and a-2 are routed to antenna-2, along with mobile services
connected to Mobile port-2 for support up to four access points per 860 WLAN module.
Note: Mobile services (in installations where MA-860 units are integrated into MA 1000/2000
installations), the mobile services are distributed over the antenna ports corresponding to the
SMA connection ports.

WCE
2.2.1
About WCE
Each WCE was designed to compensate for up to 250 feet cable loss in both frequency bands for
a single antenna. This is done by amplifying each supported 802.11 RF band independently to
accurately capture the attenuation for both bands.
This approach conforms to the new WLAN light-weight access point standards by providing
uniform 802.11a/b/g coverage radius regardless of coax cable length of up to 250 feet. The WCE
unit is equipped with two interface ports: One N-Type male and One N-Type Female for
connectivity to the RHU and antenna respectively.
The RHU interface port in directly connected to the 0.5'' low loss coaxial cable (running to a
remote IDF or telecom closet where it is connected to the MA-860 antenna port). The “To
Antenna” port is connected to a low-loss jumper (flexible 1’ coax cable) that is directly connected
to one of the many MobileAccess supported broadband antennas.
Features
•
Independently amplifies the received WLAN signals in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz ISM bands.
•
Per-band gain amplifies and delivers optimal coverage for 802.11a/b/g services
•
Supports any GE, MobileAccess, or any MobileAccess supported 3PE antenna (with
compliance to FCC rules as mentioned in 3.4.1)
•
Passively supports all other wireless services in single package
•
Powered in-band by the MA-860 via “power over coax”; supports low voltage (6V and 9.8V)

Infrastructure Preparation
Infrastructure Preparation
This chapter contains information on the cabling and power requirements for the MA-860
system, as well as the access points that can be used.
3.1
Installation Requirements
The infrastructure preparation consists of two main phases:
1. Floor Planning: Planning the distribution of the antennas on each floor to provide the
required coverage. This phase varies depending on whether the coverage is only for WLAN
or includes voice coverage through the existing infrastructure:
2. IDF or Telecom Closet Planning: Planning the layout of the devices and cables in the
IDF or Telecom Closet. This includes the MA-860, 802.11 Access Points, cabling and other
voice service distribution systems such as MA 1000/2000 that are relevant to the specific
installation.
3.2
Coaxial Cable Connections
3.2.1
General Cable Installation Procedures
•
Observe the general cable installation procedures in accordance with the building codes in
your area.
•
The building code requires that all cabling be installed above ceiling level (where applicable).
Each length of cable from the risers to each antenna must be concealed above ceiling.
•
The cable must be properly supported and maintained straight. This is done either by using
tie wraps or cable trays and clamps or hangers every 10 feet (where practical above ceiling
level). Where this is not obtainable, the following should be observed:
•
•
The minimum bending radius of the supplied ½” coax cable should be 7”.
•
Cable that is kinked or has a bending radius smaller than 7” must be replaced.
•
Cable runs that span less than two floors should be secured to mechanical structures
that are suitably located.
The cables should be supported only from the building structure.

Infrastructure Preparation
3.2.2
RF Rules
•
Use coax ½”, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type, (6-7dB for 1Ghz, 11dB for 2Ghz) for
connecting to RHU and RHU ports.
•
Use coax RG223, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type for RF connections from the BUs to the
BTS/RBS and to the RIU.
•
When using the MobileAccess™ system in an environment in which other indoor
coverage systems are installed, it is recommended (where possible) that the antennas
are placed at least three meters apart
•
When bending coax cables, verify that the bending radius does not exceed the coax
specifications.
•
Use only antennas listed in section 3.4.1.
•
Use a VSWR meter (i.e. Site Master or equivalent) for checking coax cables, including
the antennas. (<2). The VSWR must be measured prior to terminating the RHUs in the
remote communication rooms
•
Terminate all unused MA-860 ports with a 50 ohm load
