PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 14 2 PureWave Quantum Base Station Overview 2.1 Introduction - What is a Compact Base Station? At PureWave, we believe that true broadband data networks must roll out in a completely different manner than the traditional, low-throughput cellular networks of yesterday. The traditional cellular network paradigm of colossal “macro” Base stations and large cell radii developed from the need for high-coverage networks to carry low-bandwidth voice and messaging traffic. However, as the demand for data-based applications has grown, networks have quickly become congested, necessitating new wireless standards designed specifically for high-speed broadband data. Furthermore, as spectrum is always a scarce and expensive resource, the need for improved frequency re-use techniques has become more important than ever. The clear solution to this is higher-efficiency wireless standards, such as IEEE 802.16e Mobile WiMAX, and more flexible cell sizes. Where medium and high population density exists, cell sizes should be small to enable increased spectral re-use, thereby ensuring that each subscriber enjoys a sufficient amount of throughput. In such cases it may be necessary to deploy Base stations on utility poles, flag poles, rooftops, small buildings and walls. This necessitates small, pleasant form-factor Base stations that can accept a variety of antenna types, both omni-directional and directional. Such Base stations are often referred to as “Pico”. Because wired backhaul may not always be available in some such locations, it also suggests the need for wireless backhaul options. On the other hand, in rural areas with lower population densities, it makes more economic sense to deploy fewer Base stations on higher towers or buildings and usually with higher transmit power. This is closer to the traditional cellular approach and typically involves large, expensive and power-hungry “macro” or “micro” Base stations, often with split designs requiring both indoor and tower-top electronics. Wherever indoor components are required an operator must obtain an air-conditioned shelter, which adds significantly to the continual operating expenditures of such a deployment and limits the deployment location. PureWave has taken a revolutionary approach in the development of exclusively “Compact” Base stations. A compact Base station shares the similar form-factor and cost of a Pico Base station, but with the performance of a Macro Base station. It is a zero-footprint device that can be fully co-located with its antennas. It is the best of all worlds and can be flexibly deployed in Pico, Macro, and Micro type deployments. Welcome to the Revolution!
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 15 2.2 PureWave Quantum at a Glance The PureWave Quantum Family of Compact Mobile WiMAX Base Stations is PureWave’s 3rd generation Base station platform and we believe it presents what is simply the most advanced and high-performing, yet cost-effective Base station solution available. The PureWave Quantum Family of Base stations currently consists of the 2x4 (2 Transmit, 4 Receive) Quantum 1000, the 3 x 2 x 2 Quantum 2200 and the PureWave Quantum 6600 (6x6) products. This User’s Guide covers the PureWave Quantum 6600 products, with models differentiated by only the frequency variant which is represented by the two right digits. For example, the PureWave Quantum 6625 is the 2.5GHz variant, supported 2.5-2.7GHz. Otherwise they are functionally identical. In this guide we will, without loss of generality, refer primarily to the PureWave Quantum 6600 product, which is synonymous to writing PureWave Quantum 66xx. Please note that not all Quantum models are available in all markets. Please contact your sales representative for additional information and ordering options. The PureWave Quantum Family of Base station products is fully 802.16e (Mobile WiMAX) compliant and designed to interoperate seamlessly with standard, off-the-shelf, WiMAX-certified subscriber devices. All PureWave Quantum products feature a software-defined radio (SDR) architecture that allows them to continuously evolve and take on new features as they become available. Some of the key highlights of the PureWave Quantum Family of products include the following: Superior Range – An antenna array of up to 6 antennas operated in concert creates tightly focused radio beams that extend the range of each Base station by up to 40% or boost capacity where required. Spectral Re-use – Sophisticated interference mitigation techniques coupled with advanced beamforming technology, both made possible by PureWave’s multiple antenna architecture, allow for simple network deployments and for improved spectral re-use. Software Defined Radio – Protects your investment through support for over‐the‐air, field upgrades of existing networks as standards evolve and new features and capabilities are released. Completely Weatherproof – PureWave Quantum Base stations do not require shelter and can be installed completely outdoors. This eliminates the capital cost of building a shelter and the recurring cost of leasing or running an air-conditioned site. Flexibly Mount Virtually Anywhere – PureWave Quantum Base stations can be deployed on towers, utility poles, walls, rooftops, etc, without the need for remote RF heads. ASN-GW Optional – PureWave Quantum Base stations can operate with or without an ASN-GW, making even small deployments affordable. PureWave Quantum Base stations can utilize virtually any off the shelf antennas, both omni-directional and sectored. However, PureWave recommends our own line of affordable, compact, multi-antenna panels designed specifically to complement the performance of our Base stations.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 16 PureWave Quantum Base Stations can be installed indoors or outdoors, however the antennas must always be installed outdoors. Figure 1 shows a PureWave Quantum 6600 Base station co-located on a tower with a PureWave 6-Port Antenna Panel. Figure 1: PureWave Quantum 6600 Base Station Mounted on Tower PureWave’s carrier-grade solution includes the full-featured and highly scalable PureView NMS (Network Management System), which can efficiently and powerfully provision and manage all Base station and Subscriber Stations in the access network. PureView features include automatic discovery, fault management, inventory tables, configuration, and performance management. PureView utilizes full open standard SNMP on the access network side, and employs a full-featured northbound interface for connection to virtually any existing NMS. In addition to the PureView NMS, all PureWave Quantum Base Stations support a full-featured Command Line Interface (CLI) and an integrated Web Interface. Please refer to the PureView NMS User Guide and the CLI User Guide for in depth coverage of those applications.

Because several deployment-specific variables (e.g., antenna type, cable type and length, settings, etc) can affect the effective power output and other characteristics of the system, it is the customer’s responsibility to assure that each deployment of this product meets applicable regulations. The PureView NMS, the Web UI, and the CLI all provide guidelines and feedback to ensure an appropriate installation. Table 3 lists key radio-related specifications of PureWave Quantum Base Stations. Note that additional features, not listed, may be released in future software revisions.

Note that sensitivity will be correspondingly less on models with fewer than 6 antennas. Note that the values presented are measured over the entire channel bandwidth, as opposed to WiMAX Radio Conformance Test (RCT) type measurements, which are measured over only a fraction of the channel bandwidth. Typical 6-Ant Rx Sensitivity AWGN, 10-6 BER, Full Band, in dBm UL MCS (CTC) 5MHz 10MHz QPSK-1/2 -105.0 -102.0 QPSK-3/4 -102.0 -99.0 16QAM-1/2 -99.8 -96.8 16QAM-3/4 -96.1 -93.1 64QAM-1/2 -95.1 -92.1 64QAM-2/3 -90.9 -87.9 64QAM-3/4 -90.2 -87.2 64QAM-5/6 -87.0 -84.0 Table 4: Typical Rx Sensitivity 2.3.2.2 Computing EIRP Power Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) refers to the transmit power radiating out of the antenna. The accurate computation of EIRP is essential to proper network planning and to ensuring that the system meets local and regional maximum power regulations. As indicated in Table 3, the average Tx power output at each Base Station antenna connector is 33dBm. The average EIRP per antenna is computed as follows: Ave EIRP per Ant (in dBm) = Ave Tx Pwr per Ant + Ant Gain – Cable and Connector Loss For example, if deployed with a 14dBi antenna connected to the Base Station with only a few feet of cable, the average EIRP per Antenna might be 33dBm + 14dBi – 1dB = 46dBm. The total average EIRP of the Base Station with all antennas combined can then be computed as follows: Total Ave EIRP (in dBm) = Ave EIRP per Ant + 10log (Number of Antennas) For a 6 antenna Base Station, the example above yields Total Ave EIRP = 46dBm + 7.78dB = 53.78dBm.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 22 Note that some regulations refer to peak power, which in a WiMAX system is normally as much as 10dB higher than average power. In the case of the PureWave Quantum products the peak power can be assumed to be 9dB higher than average. Therefore, Peak EIRP should be computed as follows: Peak EIRP per Ant (in dBm) = Ave EIRP per Ant + 9dB. Total Peak EIRP (in dBm) = Total Ave EIRP + 9dB. For the above example, Peak EIRP per Ant = 46dBm + 9dB = 54dBm and Total Peak EIRP = 53.78dBm + 9dB = 62.78dBm. These equations are summarized in Table 5. Table 5: EIRP Calculations Note that some regulations are specified for particular channel bandwidths and/or antenna beamwidth and in such cases the allowable power should be scaled accordingly. As with the previous calculations, each case is often unique. Although the PureView NMS provides guidance and limits where known regional regulations apply, it is ultimately the responsibility of the spectrum holder to assure that appropriate limits are set. EIRP Metric Formula Ave EIRP per Ant (in dBm) = Ave Tx Pwr per Ant + Ant Gain – Cable and Connector Loss Total Ave EIRP (in dBm) = Ave EIRP per Ant + 10log(Number of Antennas) Peak EIRP per ant (in dBm) = Ave EIRP per Ant + 9dB Total Peak EIRP (in dBm) = Total Ave EIRP + 9dB
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 23 2.3.2.3 Smart Antenna Capabilities Beamforming is a technique that combines and focuses signals to and from multiple antennas to improve both downlink and uplink performance. On the uplink, the Base Station combines signals received on its multiple antennas, resulting in substantial link budget gains that improve range and throughput. Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) and Minimum Mean-Square Error (MMSE) are basic techniques from which more sophisticated uplink processing techniques (such as interference mitigation) are built. On the downlink (Base Station to Subscriber Station), sophisticated digital signal processing algorithms exploit information gathered during the uplink beamforming process to concentrate the transmitted RF energy from the antenna array to the exact subscriber stations locations, improving gain, efficiency and signal to noise ratio (SNR), resulting in greater range and throughput. MIMO Matrix A utilizes a technique called space-time coding (STC), which exploits the spatial diversity of the channel to improve downlink performance. By improving data reception, it can increase range and maximize the utilization of available sector capacity. MIMO Matrix B utilizes a technique called spatial multiplexing (SM), in which multiple streams of data are simultaneously transmitted through multiple antennas and effectively separated by the receiving device. This technique can actually increase the spectral efficiency and, hence, the capacity of a system. The effectiveness of MIMO relies upon the spatial diversity inherent within the channel as well as other factors, and therefore a given technique may be more appropriate for certain users or deployments. Fortunately, PureWave Quantum Base Stations make these decisions automatically, maximizing the efficiency of your valuable spectrum. Cyclic Delay Diversity (CDD) is a technique employed by PureWave Quantum Base stations to allow the power of multiple antennas to be combined in transmitting a single stream of data even when MIMO or beamforming cannot be supported (e.g., when transmitting the MAP).

PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 27 3 Quick Start Guide This section describes how an Operator may power-up the PureWave Base Station and verify proper system initialization and configuration. There are two methods by which a PureWave Quantum Base Station may be configured and/or managed. This can be achieved via either a graphical user interface (GUI) Web Interface or a command line interface (CLI). Each interface has the capability of configuring all parameters available in the Base Station. It is generally recommended to configure using the CLI for the first initial configuration of the Base Station or in the event that the Base Station management interface parameters are not known. PureWave thereafter recommends using the Web Interface for all configuration parameters. Note that the Web Interface and the CLI utilize the same terminology, parameter names, etc. 3.1 Preparing and Powering Up the Base Station Before powering on the Base Station it is critical that all of its connector panel ports be properly connected or terminated per the detailed instructions in the PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide. Failure to do so may result in damage to the Base station. The procedures in this section assume the following connections have been to the Base Station: Antenna's have be connected to each Base Station ANT (ANT 1 through ANT 6) ports. A GPS antenna is properly installed and attached to the Base Station GPS port. The ETH-1 port is connected to an accessible network via a router or other mechanism. An appropriate cable has been connected to the Console port. To connect to the Console port, the User will need the following hardware that is provided with the Base Station installation kit. These are as follows:  RJ45 cable.  DB9 male connector (Network Adapter).  DB9 female to DB9 female adapter. The adaptor should be connected to a “straight-through” serial cable. Do not use a Cisco “rollover” cable or a null modem serial cable as these are not supported. Please see the PureWave Quantum 6600 Installation Guide for more details. Optional: Serial to USB connector. Most laptop nowadays comes with USB connection instead of serial connection. If the PC/laptop has a DB9 serial connection then there is no requirement for a USB adapter. If not, then you will need to get serial to USB adapter to access the Base Station CLI. Plug one end of a “straight” Cat 5 Ethernet cable into the Base Station Console port and the
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 28 other end into the RJ45 to Modem adapter. Connect the other end of this Modem adapter to a DB9 serial cable and connect this DB9 serial cable to a USB adapter that connect to your laptop. With the Base Station and all cables properly installed, power may now be applied to the Base Station. The Base Station has no power switch so it will begin to power up immediately when a power source is attached. The POWER LED should be solid green. 3.2 Default Parameters Table 8 lists the factory default values that are set prior to shipment. These default parameters provide the means for a User to gain access to the system. Parameter Factory Default Mgmt IP Address 192.168.1.10 Mgmt IP Netmask 255.255.255.0 Mgmt Default Gateway 192.168.1.254 Hostname quantum-bs Admin User name admin admin User Password admin123 Table 8: Base Station Management Interface and Access Default Parameters 3.3 Logging in to the CLI The PureWave Quantum Base Station’s Command Line Interface (CLI) has a standard Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System) look and feel to its operation. It is accessible via the Base Station Console interface using an appropriate terminal emulator, or via a Base Station ETH-1 port using either SSH or Telnet. Both methods of access will be described. Telnet is disabled by default so may not be used for initial configuration. It is assumed that the default parameters (IP address, baud rate, etc) are still in use. If defaults have been changed then please use the current values. Accessing the CLI via the Ethernet port requires that its IP address and related parameters be known. If the default settings have been changed and the new settings have been lost then access via the Base Station Console port will be required to reset those parameters.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 29 3.3.1 Accessing the CLI via the Base Station Console Port (1) Connect a computer to the Base Station Console port as detailed in section 3.1 above. (2) Open a terminal emulation program on the computer. Suitable programs are PuTTY or HyperTerminal (Figure 4).

Open an SSH client program such as PuTTY (Figure 7: ). The default port number is 22. Figure 7: PuTTY SSH Client Configuration (2) Create a new SSH profile using the default management IP values. If the defaults have been changed then please use their current values. If the management IP settings are "unknown" then the Base Station can only be accessed via its Console port (refer to section 3.3.1). Once the Base Station has been accessed, its management IP settings can be reset using the procedure detailed in section 3.4. (3) The default Login and Password are: Default login: admin Default password: admin123
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 32 3.4 Logging in to the Web GUI Interface The PureWave Quantum Base Station’s Web Interface is accessible through most major web browsers that support SSL connections. The Web Interface has been specifically tested on Internet Explorer (Version 7 and up) and Mozilla FireFox. Access via HTTP and HTTPS are both supported, however HTTPS is the default and HTTP is disabled by default. If the current ETH-1 port IP settings have been lost then they must be reset using access via the Base Station Console CLI (see section 3.3.1). The ETH-1 management IP settings must be known if the Base Station is to be accessed via the Web GUI Interface. (1) Connect a computer using an Ethernet connection to the Base Station ETH-1 port (either directly or via a router or network). Open an SSH client program on the computer. (2) Open up a web browser and type in https://192.168.1.10 or http://192.168.1.10 (if HTTP has been enabled which is disabled by default) in the address field. If the default ETH-1 management IP settings have been changed then please enter the current Management IP Address of the Base Station. If the User is presented with a “certificate error” in the browser, then just click “ignore” or “continue to web site” and proceed. (3) The login page is displayed in Figure 8: . The default Username and Password are: Default Username: admin Default Password: admin123 Figure 8: Web GUI Interface Login Page

PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 36 3.4.1 Web Interface Configuration Key Concepts The Web GUI Interface, when the Configuration Tab has been selected, has two major modes of operation: View Mode: Read-only access of all parameters. This is the default mode upon initial log in (refer to figure 14). Edit Mode: Write access configuration of all available parameters. Within this mode there are two sub-options: Edit Private. Edit Private will allow the user to configure all parameters but will not lock the configuration database, allowing for other users to make configuration changes at the same time (see Figure 15). Edit Exclusive. Edit Exclusive will lock the configuration database and prevent any other user from making configuration changes. Note: System configuration changes are first made to the running configuration database in memory. This allows the opportunity for the user to test the changes first before committing. In order to make the change persistent and survive a restart, the “Configuration-Write” command must be used. Figure 14: The Main Web GUI Interface Screen in View Mode
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 37 Figure 15: The Web GUI Interface Screen in Edit Private Mode At the Main Web GUI Interface Screen, select the Configuration Tab, select the configuration Main Menu option and then Edit Private or Edit Exclusive. The User will now be in the Edit mode. There are a number of key concepts that will be repeatedly used when the User is in the Edit mode and thus making configuration changes. These key concepts form the six Command Menu Options when the User is in the Edit mode. These are: Changes. This prompts the User to accept the configuration changes that have been made. Validate. This validates that the changes are valid and have been configured correctly. Revert All. This will cancel (or revert) any changes that may have been made. Commit. This will commit the changes to the running database. Rollback. This will rollback any changes to a previously saved state. Exit Transaction. This will exit the Edit mode. When the User selects the Changes Command Menu Option then they are presented with the following options: If no configuration changes have been made, then a popup window appears stating "No configuration changes have been made". The User simply selects the OK prompt to navigate back to the Edit Mode.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 38 Figure 16: Configuration Changes Popup Window If relevant changes have been made, then a window appears. This indicates the relevant configuration file for this pending change. It indicates the relevant parameter that is in the process of being changed and the old and the new value. There is also an option within this window to Revert the change (refer to figure 17). If the User selects this revert option then the intended changes will be reversed and the "No configuration changes" will appear (refer to figure 16 above). Figure 17: Revert Option If the User has made some configuration changes and then they decide to reverse the changes then the User can select the Revert All window option. Selecting this option presents: If no configuration changes have been made, then a window appears stating "There is nothing to revert". The User simply selects the OK prompt to navigate back to the Edit Mode.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 39 If changes have been made, then a window appears stating "All your non-committed configuration changes will be reverted" (refer to figure 18). The User simply selects the OK prompt to proceed and navigate back to the Edit Mode. Figure 18: Revert All Configuration Changes If the User has made some configuration changes and these have been committed and saved the User can make use of the Rollback All window option. A rolling audit log of all configuration changes in stored within the Base Station (refer to figure 19). This log is a record of: Rollback File. This is the name of the configuration file. Creator. This is the creator of the change. This will be the login name that was used at the time of the configuration change. Date. This was the date of the change. Via. This was the method of access to the Base Station that was used to effect the change. On the right side of the window, is a text pad that provide details of the parameters and how they were changed. To effect the Rollback procedure then the User simply has to highlight the relevant rollback file and then select the Load Command Menu Option (refer to figure 19).
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 40 Figure 19: Rollback Option If the User has made some configuration changes and they wish to Validate the changes then the User can select the Validate Command Menu Option. If the User, after making the relevant changes, selects the Validate option then if the intended changes are valid, then a window appears stating "The configuration is ready to be committed" appears (refer to figure 20). The User simply selects the OK prompt to proceed and navigate back to the Edit Mode. Figure 20: Validate Option
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 41 The Commit Command Menu Option performs a crucial procedure in that it commits all configuration changes to the running database. When in Edit mode, the method of configuring and saving changes remains the same. A user may change any number of parameters but none of those changes will take effect until they are committed. Clicking the Commit Menu will result in one of the following actions If no configuration changes have been made, then a window appears stating "There is nothing to commit". The User simply selects the OK prompt to navigate back to the Edit Mode. If changes have been made, then a window appears stating "Do you want to commit your pending configuration changes?" (refer to figure 21). The User simply selects the OK prompt to proceed. Figure 21: Commit Option When OK has been selected then a window appears stating "The configuration has been committed" (figure 22). The User simply selects the OK prompt to proceed and navigate back to the Edit mode. Note: System configuration changes are first made to the running configuration database in memory. In order to make the change persistent and survive a restart, the “Configuration-Write” command must be used.
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 42 Figure 22: Commit Option Successful Unsaved configuration changes persist for only the current boot. If the Base station is rebooted then those changes will be lost if the configuration has not been committed. Several menus have two sets of parameters, these are defined as: Configured Parameters. These are the most recently saved settings and are stored in the system’s configuration database State Parameters. These are the readings of the actual state from the Base Station. State Parameters may be identical to Configured Parameters, or they may be committed but unsaved parameters that differ from the Configured Parameters. After a reboot, both sets of parameters will be identical. The "Save Procedure" is to ensure that the running configuration is saved is: (1) At the Main Web GUI Interface Screen, select the Configuration Tab, select the configuration Main Menu Option then the write Main Menu Sub-Element. The User will have to click on the Perform Command Menu Option to copy the running configuration to the startup (see figure 23).

PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 44 Note: Several configuration changes require that the Base station be rebooted. The procedure to reboot a Base Station is as follows: (1) At the Main Web GUI Interface Screen, select the Configuration Tab, select the administration Main Menu option and then reboot Main Menu Sub-Element. The User will have to click on the Perform Command Menu Option to reboot the entire Base Station (refer to figure 25). Figure 25: Reboot Base Station (2) Upon clicking perform, the user must confirm the reboot operation by clicking Ok. After the reboot option has been performed then an appropriate window indicating a successful reboot execution will be displayed (figure 26). The subsequent time for the Base Station to become operational is approximately 5 minutes. Figure 26: Reboot Base Station Successful
PureWave Quantum 6600 User Guide v2.1 Page 45 (3) The system will use the stored startup configuration after rebooting. Unwritten changes in the running configuration will be lost. (4) There are two reboot options under the administration Main Menu options including reboot. This option will reboot the Base Station reboot-sectors. This option will reboot the internal elements of the Base Station that are pertinent to the sector RF elements only. After the reboot-sectors option has been performed then an appropriate window indicating a successful reboot execution will be displayed. The subsequent time for the Base Station to become operational is approximately 2 minutes. 3.4.2 Web GUI CLI Access Level The PureWave Quantum Base Station has a Command Line Interface (CLI) that can be accessed from within the Web GUI. To access the Web GUI CLI then at the Main Web GUI Interface Screen, select the Tools Tab. The User will be presented with a number of User tools (figure 27).
