1 IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn ttoo tthhee MMAA--886600 SSyysstteemm 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: o 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: o Access Points are co-located in the telecom IDF or closet o All data and voice services distributed via a common coax cabling and broadband antennas o AP Clustering - 802.11 access points (APs) connect to the MA-860 in telecom closets MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 1
Introduction to the MA-860 System o Auto-discovery of WCE, WiFi Coverage Expander units o 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 o Support for four 802.11a/b/g APs (four ’a/b’ and four ‘g’ ports) per 860 WLAN Module o Mobile services from MobileAccess 1000/2000 or WMTS • Cable Compensation: o 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. o Compensation allows for standardization on supported Access Point vendor design guidelines • Robust Management Features: o Remote HTTP management capabilities from any supported MobileAccess Web Browser o Local port interface for Management and configuration via an on-board RS232 interface o 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 location-sensitive 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 2
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. A 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. Figure 1-2. MobileAccess 860 WLAN Functional Block Diagram MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 3
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. Figure 1-3. Example of 802.11a/b/g Signal Distribution MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 4
Introduction to the MA-860 System 1.4 Installation Configurations MA-860 can be installed either as standalone or integrated with other MobileAccess systems: • Standalone – provides coverage for 802.11a/b/g services only • Converged with MobileAccess 1000 series RHU (with and without MA 1200 add-on) • Converged with MobileAccess 2000 system NOTE: In all installation types, all the signals are converged via the MA-860 and distributed via the WCE connected between the antenna and the MA-860 antenna ports. 1.4.1 Standalone In this type of installation architecture, MA-860 WLAN module distributes only 802.11a/b/g services over the connected antenna infrastructure. Figure 1-4. MA-860 Standalone Installation Configuration MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 5
Introduction to the MA-860 System 1.4.2 Converged with MA 1000 RHU Services The MA-860 can be installed as an add-on unit to a MA 1000 RHU. In this type of installation, the MA 1000 RHU services are routed to the MA-860 inputs where they are integrated with the MA-860 Wi-Fi data services and routed to the MA-860 antenna ports for distribution over a single coax broadband antenna infrastructure. Figure 1-5 MA-860 as Add-On to MA 1000 System MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 6
Introduction to the MA-860 System 1.4.3 Add-on to MA 2000 System The MA-860 can be installed as an (external) add-on unit to the MA 2000 system. In this type of installation, the combined MA 2000 services are routed to the MA-860 inputs where they are integrated with the MA-860 Wi-Fi data services and, through the MA-860 antenna connections, distributed through the same coax broadband antenna infrastructure. Figure 1-6. MA-860 Add-On to MA 2000 System MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 7
Introduction to the MA-860 System 1.5 Provisioning and Management MA-860 supports several interfaces for managing the MobileAccess WLAN solution – Remote, local, and 3rd party application support. • Web Based Management – MobileAccess has integrated a standards based HTTP GUI interface within the 860 WLAN module for remote configuration, calibration, and system provisioning. The MobileAccess supports the following versions or later web browsers: Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7.0 and Firefox 2.0.0. • MA-860 Engineering Tool – Microsoft Windows® application installed on a computer (i.e. laptop) and used after the system has been installed for initial configuration, calibration and system provisioning. This is done via a local (RS232 connection) between the computer running the application and the MA-860 control module. The application is described in section 5.10) • 3rd Party Application Support – MobileAccess has developed a standards based SNMP management MIB library version (2c) which will interface with any standard MIB browser or SNMP based management system, such as, HP OpenView or Tivoli.

MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 12
Element Descriptions 2.2 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.

Infrastructure Preparation 3 IInnffrraassttrruuccttuurree PPrreeppaarraattiioonn 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. MA-860 Installation and Configuration Guide 15
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. 3.4.1. • Use only antennas listed in section • 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 3.3 Power Consumption and Power Supplies 3.3.1 Power Safety Instructions SAFETY WARNINGS When installing or selecting the power supplies: 1.
