Connector
Description
GPS
Connects to an external (optional) GPS antenna. The GPS antenna is ordered
separately. Connector Type: ITT CANNON APD DIN 72585
ETH1
Primary Fast Ethernet connector. Used for initial setup (and standalone tests),
and for connection to the backhaul network (in normal installations).
Connector Type: RJ-45 TYCO part no 1546907-1
ETH2
Second Ethernet port for local and out-of-band management.
In future versions, you will be able to daisy-chain this port to ETH1 in an
adjacent Base Station (located in the same BS site) in order to allow a single
Ethernet connection to the Backhaul.
ETH2 port can also function as a serial port (connection through the cable
supplied in the kit). This function is useful if the unit is not accessible via an IP
address connection.
PPS
PPS In and PPS Out can be used for synchronization of multiple sectors, where
the PPS Out of one sector is connected to the PPS In of the next BS (daisy
chained). This is relevant only for adjacent sectors at the same BS site.
Connector Type: SMA sealed Industrial
-48VDC
Power connector. External DC power connector (-48VDC) for outdoor
deployment. Connector Type: RJ-45
GND
Ground blind hole connector. In normal installations, connect to the pole on
which the unit is mounted. (The BS unit does not include a lightning arrester.)

Installing the PicoPlus BS
Installing the PicoPlus BS
After commissioning the PicoPlus BS, the unit is ready for installation.
The procedure consists of the following steps:
3.1
•
Choosing the installation location and mounting the BS on a pole or on a wall
•
Mounting the RF and GPS antennas in the appropriate locations
•
Connecting the RF and GPS antennas to the BS
•
Connecting Ground, Power and ETH cables to the BS
•
Performing an End-to-End traffic test
Mounting the Base Station
The PicoPlus BS is provided with a mounting kit which includes all the mounting elements
(e.g. mounting-bracket, torques, screws etc.). The BS can be mounted either on a pole or
on a wall.
NOTE: The same mounting bracket is used for the wall and the pole installation.
When mounting the BS, note the following
3.1.1
•
The PicoPlus BS is typically installed in an upright vertically aligned position with the
power, Ethernet and GPS connectors facing DOWN.
•
The PicoPlus BS should be installed on the rear side of the RF antenna to prevent selfreflections.
BS Installation Location
This section describes the criteria that should be considered when selecting the PicoPlus BS
installation location. The BS can be mounted on either a pole or a wall.
To choose BS Installation location
•
Verify that the pole/wall location corresponds to the site plan and takes into account
local regulations and maintenance access.
•
The unit should be mounted in the highest possible point. Reception will increase
according to the height of the antennas.
•
The diameter of the pole on which the base station and antenna are to be mounted is
either:
•
•
1.00-1.75” or
1.75-3.00”
•
Verify that the pole is properly grounded.
•
Verify that the pole has lightening protection.

selected locations according to the instructions given in this section.
3.2.1
Mounting the RF Antenna
3.2.1.1
RF Antenna Location Criteria
3.2.1.2
•
To avoid frequency reuse problems caused by unwanted reflections, the main part of
the antenna must be clear of any metal objects for a range of parameter to 20 meters.
•
Make sure that there are no obstacles located in front of the RF antenna, such s poles,
transmission equipment from other vendors or another Runcom RF antenna.
RF Antenna Mounting
NOTE: The antenna is mounted and adjusted using the provided antenna mounting kit.
To mount the RF Antennas:
24
•
Use the supplied RF antenna (pole) mounting kit to attach the antenna to the pole.
•
Connect the antenna’s ANT connector to the BS ANT-1 and ANT-2 RF connector using
the provided 0.5 -1 meter coax cable.
•
Tilt the antenna as required. The antenna’s mounting kit enables the antenna to be
tilted along two axes.
•
The antenna position can be fine-tuned at a later stage.

Mounting the GPS Antenna
The GPS antenna is assembled onto the pole. It connects to the BS via a coax cable towards
the GPS RF connector.
Criteria for selecting the GPS antenna location
3.3
•
The whole antenna area is exposed to the sky.
•
GPS antenna should not be more than 10 meters from the PicoPlus (excessive cable
length may cause interference).
Connecting the Base Station Cables
This section describes the BS antenna, power and Ethernet cables.
To connect the antennas to the BS
•
RF Antennas: Connect coax cables from each RF antenna to the BS ANT1 and ANT2.
•
GPS Antenna: Connect a coax cable (10 meters max) from the GPS antenna to the
BS GPS connector.
•
Ground: Use the provided grounding cable to ground the BS to the pole (if pole is
grounded), or to a grounding point.
•
Power: Run the 5-10 meter power cable from the BS Power connector down the pole,
to the provided -48 V power converter that is located indoors (i.e. in a building or in a
caravan).
Note: It is recommended to connect a battery (for backup) to the -48VDC power supply.
•
Ethernet: Run the 5-10 meter Ethernet cable of the base station from the ETH
connector at the bottom of the base station down the pole and connect it to an indoor
Ethernet connector, such as in a building or in a caravan

Installing the PicoPlus BS
End-to-End Traffic Test
After the system is installed, it is recommended to perform an End to End (E2E) test to test
communication and traffic transference over the link.
In this test, a computer connected to a CPE (that is configured to operate with the BS)
sends a ping message towards the NOC (Network Operations Center) and AAA
(Authentication, Authorization and Accounting center). Receiving an answer from the
NOC/AAA side by the CPE's PC assures that the system is configured and operating
properly.
The following figure shows the end-to-end test elements.
To perform the test
1. Ensure that the BS is configured with the:
•
Center frequency
•
ASN-GW IP address and security parameters (see 2.4.1)
2. Connect the BS to a CPE configured with the:
•
Center Frequency
3. Connect a computer configured to communicate with the CPE (see section 2.3.2 – using
the CPE IP address subnet) to the CPE Ethernet port using a cross-cable.
4. Use Telnet to send a ping command from the CPE computer to the NOC IP Address.
