1. Introduction
RuggedMAX™ 10 Installation and User Guide v4.2.1
1.3. Safety Information
1.3.1. RF Exposure
The WiN5100/WiN5200 CPE is compliant with the requirements set forth in CFR 47, section 1.1307, addressing
Radio Frequency (RF) exposure from radio frequency devices as defined in OET Bulletin 65. The emitted radiation should be
as little as possible. To achieve minimum RF exposure, install the CPE when it is configured not to transmit and set it to
operational mode remotely, rather than enabling transmission by the installer on-site. For maintenance of the CPE ,or
other operations which require RF exposure, the exposure should be minimized in time and according to the regulations set
by the FCC or the regulations relevant to the country of installation.
Install antenna always at distance at least 0.39 m from the people and public area.
1.3.2. Lightning Protection
When the ODU CPE is installed in an outdoor location, all indoor components (Ethernet connections and
power supply) should be connected through a lightning protector.Lightning protection is intended to protect
people and equipment located indoors from lightning that might strike the ODU CPE or its outdoor cables.
The lightning protection device should be installed indoors, as close as possible to the point where the cables enter
the building.
1.3.3. Power Cord Protection
The ODU CPE should always be connected to a supported Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector.
The WiN5100-series and WiN5200-series ODU CPEs are non-standard PoE devices.
Do not attempt to use third-party PoE injectors. The use of any other type of connection
or application of the ODU CPE and/or WiN1010 data adaptor is not permitted.
Route all power supply cords so that people cannot walk on them or place objects on or against them, which can damage the cords.
1.3.4. Servicing
Do not open the ODU CPE cover to perform corrective actions unless instructed to do so in the operating instructions.
1.3.5. Outdoor Grounding System
To reduce the risk of fire, use only 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord
between indoor and outdoor units.
1.3.6. Allowed antenna types
For WCS CPE 2.3GHz, to comply with FCC regulations & restrictions, use only outdoor antennas with gain of 16dBi!
For the WiN5200, the antenna is an integral part of the CPE.
Verify that the antenna or cable system is grounded. The CPE antenna installation must be as per Article 810 of the NEC.
Of particular note is the requirement that the grounding conductor be not less than 10 AWG (Cu). The grounding scheme
should either be in accordance with UL 96 and 96A Lightning Protection Components and Installation Requirements for
Lightning Protection Systems, or tested in accordance with UL 50 and UL 497.
2. Product Description
RuggedMAX™ 11 Installation and User Guide v4.2.1
2. Product Description
The WiN5100-series and WiN5200-series Out Door Unit (ODU) Customer Premises Equipment
(CPE) units are IEEE 802.16-2005 compliant wireless devices for the deployment of point-to-
multipoint (PMP) and point-to-point (PTP) network architectures.
The ODU CPEs are WiMAX Forum 802.16e Wave 2 (MIMO) certified subscribers. Each subscriber
registers and establishes a bi-directional data link with the base station.
2.1. IEEE 802.16e Mobile WiMAX Compliance
The IEEE 802.16-2005 specifications describe a PMP broadband wireless access standard for
systems. This standard includes descriptions for both the Media Access Control (MAC) and the
physical (PHY) layers.
The ODU CPE is compliant to IEEE 802.16-2005 WiMAX forum Wave 2 profile.
The 802.16e standards are subject to amendment and the WiN5100 / WiN5200
product family design compliance applies to a specific revision of the standard. The
WiN5100 / WiN5200 product family does not support mesh communication (direct
subscriber-to-subscriber).
2.2. Block Diagram
The CPE consists of the following modules:
1. Base-Band board: includes the the WiMAX 16e MIMO Base-Band SoC and runs the 16e
MAC + PHY, user interface, and analog front end interface to the RF module.
2. Power Supply board with DC/DC power supply: converts 48 VDC input to the voltages
feeding the Digital and RF modules.
3. RF board: single transmit/dual receive module that modulates the analog WiMAX signal input
from the Base-Band modem to the high frequency RF output. Several RF modules exist, each
supporting a different frequency band.
4. Chassis
5. Antenna or Antennas: dual omni or polarization antennas (WiN5100) or integrated dual
polarization antenna (WiN5200) supporting MIMO schemes.

2.3. Features
2.3.1. Mobile WiMAX Wave 2 MIMO Features
Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) describes systems that use more than one radio and
antenna system at each end of the wireless link. In the past it was too costly to incorporate multiple
antennas and radios in a subscriber terminal. Recent advances in radio miniaturization and
integration technology now make it feasible and cost effective. Combining two or more received
signals has the immediate benefit of improving received signal strength, but MIMO also enables
transmission of parallel data streams for greater throughput. For example, in a 2 × 2 MIMO (two
transmit and two receive elements), dual polarization point-to-point system, the carrier’s allocated
frequency can be used twice, effectively doubling the throughput data rate.
In point-to-multipoint systems employing MIMO, each base station antenna transmits a different
data stream and each subscriber terminal receives various components of the transmitted signals
with each of its subscriber antennas. The subscriber terminal is able to algorithmically separate
and decode the parallel simultaneously received data streams.

2. Product Description
RuggedMAX™ 14 Installation and User Guide v4.2.1
2.3.1.1. Space-Time Coding
Space-Time Coding (STC) is a technique for implementing transmission diversity. Mobile WiMAX
uses transmit diversity in the downlink direction to provide spatial diversity to enhance the signal
quality to a specific subscriber located anywhere within the range of the antenna beam. Although
providing less signal gain than beam-forming, transmit diversity is more robust for mobile users as
it does not require prior knowledge of the path characteristics of a subscriber’s particular frequency
channel. One such STC technique, known as the Alamouti Code, was published in 1998[4] is
incorporated in the WiMAX 16e standard.
2.3.1.2. Security
Security was a key failing of older broadband wireless systems of the past: any network that
transmits its data across wireless signals rather than wires is inherently more open to interference,
intrusion or assault. This does not mean solid broadband wireless security is impossible, just much
more difficult.
As broadband wireless networks have matured security features have improved. With the advent
of WiMAX, the security toolsets available to broadband wireless service providers have reached
high levels of functionality. Today’s WiMAX networks can be secured more effectively than ever
before.
WiMAX and IEEE 802.16 Security Sublayer provides for privacy, authentication and confidentiality
across the broadband wireless network. Defined initially by IEEE 802.16-2004 and then corrected
and amended by Corrigendum 1 and IEEE 802.16e-2005 respectively, the Security Sublayer now
supports fixed and mobile operation.
There are two major differences between the standards. The first difference is that the IEEE
802.16-2004 security mechanism is based on the DOCSIS standard. In 802.16e-2005, many
changes have been made in the security mechanisms. The second difference is in the flexibility
of subscriber station connection characteristics with the base station. IEEE 802.16-2004 only
supports fixed access. In fixed access, a subscriber station cannot migrate to the air interface of
a new base station without re-performing the network entry after a connection termination. IEEE
802.16e-2005 supports mobile access. In mobile access, a subscriber station can move between
base station cells while maintaining the connection.
There are five primary aspects of WiMAX security that should be considered when designing a
security plan for a WiMAX network:
• mitigation techniques at the physical layer
• improved wireless authentication
• encryption
• intrusion protection
• data transport security
Choices in implementation and security levels can be made at each level. However, options are
limited at the physical layer.
2. Product Description
RuggedMAX™ 15 Installation and User Guide v4.2.1
Physical Layer Security
There are two basic types of attacks that can affect the WiMAX physical layer: jamming and
packet scrambling. The first is relatively straightforward, and is sometimes the result of interference
rather than an attack. Jamming consists of a signal stronger than the WiMAX network signal
overwhelming network data feeds, either in intermittent bursts or with sustained carrier waves.
Most WiMAX network services are delivered over licensed bands (currently 3.5 GHz internationally
and 2.5 GHz both internationally and in the United States), and this offers spectrum that is relatively
quiet from accidental interference. Accidental interference in licensed spectrum cannot always be
completely discounted, as there is a possibility of second- and third-harmonic interference waves.
For example, such interference might arise from much lower frequency signals that are in close
proximity to the WiMAX antenna systems, or if such signals cross the WiMAX signal in close
physical proximity and locally overload the WiMAX signal. In practice, however, this is rare.
Packet scrambling is an attack that occurs when control packets in the downlink and uplink
subframes are sniffed, scrambled, and returned to the network. This attack is much harder to
mount than a jamming attack. Since most WiMAX networks today use time division duplexing
(TDD), an attacker can parse this timing sequence to capture control data, preamble, and map.
The attacker can scramble this data and send it back with the correct timing to interrupt the
legitimate signal, resulting in slowdowns and effectively lowered bandwidth. Intercepted and
scrambled packets are also possible with frequency division duplexing (FDD), which transmits
the uplink and downlink simultaneously. However, it is harder to exploit this attack than with TDD
systems.
While it may seem the physical layer is inherently most vulnerable as the security elements of
WiMAX are located at higher layers, the fact is hackers can often find useful exploits higher in
the stack. This is because WiMAX supports multiple authentication selections, and sometimes the
door can be left open by the selected authentication settings.
Authentication
Traditionally, the first level of security authentication for older broadband wireless technologies
has been MAC authentication. WiMAX supports this, although providers should not settle for this
method. MAC authentication allowed service providers to log permitted MAC device addresses
and allow only those addresses to access the network. Hackers long ago figured out how to
spoof these. If a base station is not set up with adequate authentication measures, an attacker
can capture control packets and pose as a legitimate subscriber even with older MAC device
authentication enabled.
A second, newer and much better choice, embraced by the WiN5100 / WiN5200 system, is the
built-in support for X.509 device certificates embedded in the Extensible Authentication Protocol-
Transport Layer Security (EAP-TTLS) method. EAP-TTLS is added with the 802.16e standard
and WiMAX Forum.
The EAP-TLTS authentication method allows both the subscriber and the base station to
authenticate each other using an X.509 method for both, in addition to a subscriber authentication
based on well-known subscriber authentication techniques such PAP and MS-CHAP. MAC control
headers are never encrypted in WiMAX. However, with EAP, carriers can optionally choose to
authenticate them. This capability adds an additional layer of authentication confirmation.
2. Product Description
RuggedMAX™ 16 Installation and User Guide v4.2.1
Encryption
The first layer of defense for WiMAX operators is to authenticate a legitimate user on its network.
However, WiMAX, with its 802.16e ratification, offers top-line tools for data encryption. Older
wireless iterations used the Data Encryption Standard (DES), which relied on a 56-bit key for
encryption. This is largely considered obsolete. WiMAX 802.16e supports DES (3DES) and adds
support for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), supporting 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit
encryption keys. AES also meets the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2
specification, which is required by numerous governmental branches. This technology, which
requires dedicated processors within base stations, is robust and highly effective.
Traffic encryption may be employed per 802.16 Service Flow and is subject to operator policy.
The relevance of encryption to the network operator deployment is debatable. For example, in the
past, many cellular carriers focused on authentication and mostly ignored encryption. Whether
that will change as mobile service providers ramp up more broadband applications is an open
question.
Authentication and encryption are resource-intensive takes, requiring processor cycles that
may affect system performance. The RuggedMAX™ subscriber stations and base stations
offload these heavy computing tasks from the host processor to a specific circuit, avoiding any
performance degradation due to such processing.
2.3.1.3. Time Division Duplexing (TDD)
The CPE uses time division duplexing (TDD) to transmit and receive on the same RF channel.
This is a non-contention based method for providing an efficient and predictable two-way PTP or
PMP cell deployment. All uplink and downlink transmission scheduling is managed by the base
station. The base station sends data traffic to subscribers, polls for grant requests, and sends
grant acknowledgements based on the total of all traffic to all subscribers.
2.3.1.4. Coding Rate
Each burst of data transmitted over the wireless interface is padded with redundant information,
making it more resistant to potential over-the-air errors. The coding rate is the ratio of user data to
the total data transmitted including the redundant error correction data. The base station supports
coding rates of 1/2, 2/3, and 3/4.
2.3.1.5. Modulation
The modulation technique specifies how the data is coded within the OFDMA carriers. The base
station supports QPSK, 16 Quadarature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), and 64 QAM modulations.
2.3.1.6. Convolution Turbo Coding Correction
Convolution Coding (CC) error correction is enabled for all traffic rates. This low-level process can
correct bursts of errors in received messages and reduce the number of retransmissions.
2. Product Description
RuggedMAX™ 17 Installation and User Guide v4.2.1
2.3.2. Deployment Models
The CPE supports point to point (PTP) and point to multipoint (PMP) deployment scenarios.
2.3.2.1. PTP Deployment
When deployed in a PTP configuration, the base station establishes a dedicated bidirectional link
to a single subscriber. PTP deployments typically use a directional narrow beam antenna for both
ends of the link.
2.3.2.2. PMP Deployment
When deployed in a PMP configuration, the base station establishes bi-directional links to more
than one subscriber. PMP deployments typically use a wide beam (sector) antenna at the base
station and a narrow beam antenna at the subscriber. Service flows are used to police service
level agreements for each subscriber.
2.3.2.3. Non Line-of-Sight
The WiN5100 / WiN5200 product family supports line-of-sight (LOS) and non line-of-sight (NLOS)
operation. A clear LOS link has no obstacles within 60% of the first Fresnel zone of the direct path.
A wireless link is considered non-LOS if natural or man-made structures block the visible path
between the base station and the subscriber. In this case, a wireless link can be established only
if a reflective path can be established between the base station and subscriber.
2.3.2.4. Channelization
The CPE is a frequency-specific system, with the frequency band defined by the PHY unit. The
use of the operating band must be in accordance with local regulation requirements.
The CPE divides the available frequency band into channels. Allocation of channels during
deployment is dependent on spectrum availability in the licensed band and local licensing
requirements and conditions. Channel selection allows planners to obtain the maximum
geographic coverage, while avoiding frequency contention in adjacent sectors.
2. Product Description
RuggedMAX™ 18 Installation and User Guide v4.2.1
2.3.3. Service Flows
Service flows are a key feature of the 802.16e standard. A service flow represents a unidirectional
data flow having separate Quality of Service (QoS) settings for uplink and downlink. Service flows
provide the ability to set up multiple connections to each subscriber in a sector.
Separate service flows can be established for uplink and downlink traffic, where each service
flow is assigned a unique service level category and separate QoS settings. This feature allows
segregation of high-speed/high-priority traffic from less time-critical flows.
2.3.3.1. Service Flow Classification
Data packets are forwarded based on classification rules. Classification rules examine each
packet for pattern matches such as destination address, source address, IP TOS, or VLAN tag.
All classification is defined at the base station and the classification parameters are downloaded
to the subscriber.
2.3.3.2. Default Service Flows
Default uplink and downlink service flows are created automatically for each registered subscriber.
These service flows are used to pass all traffic not matching any user-defined service flow (such
as broadcast ARP) between the base station and subscribers. The default service flow capacity
is limited for each subscriber.
2.3.3.3. Scheduling
The base station enforces QoS settings for each service flow by controlling all uplink and
downlink traffic scheduling. This provides a non-contention based traffic model with predictable
transmission characteristics. By analyzing the total of all requests from all subscribers, the base
station ensures that uplink and downlink traffic conforms to the current service level agreements
(SLAs). Centralized scheduling increases predictability of traffic, eliminates contention, and
provides the maximum opportunity for reducing overhead.
A regular period is scheduled for subscribers to register with the base station. These subscribers
may be newly commissioned or have been deregistered due to service outage or interference
on the wireless interface. This is the only opportunity for multiple subscribers to transmit
simultaneously.
•Real-Time Polling Service (rt-PS)
The base station schedules a continuous regular series of transmit opportunities for the
subscriber to send variable size data packets. The grant size is based on the current data
transfer requirement. Typical applications include streaming MPEG video or VOIP with silence
suppression. This is efficient for applications that have a real-time component and continuously
changing bandwidth requirements.
•Extended Real-Time Polling Service (ert-PS)
The base station schedules a continuous series of transmit opportunities for the subscriber to
send variable size data packets. This schedule supports real-time applications including VoIP
with silence suppression. The dynamically scheduled grants guarantee reserved bandwidth and
reduce latency introduced by repetitive grant requests. The service flow will not transmit packets
larger than the nominal grant interval.
2. Product Description
RuggedMAX™ 19 Installation and User Guide v4.2.1
•Non-Real-Time Polling Service (nrt-PS)
The base station schedules regular transmit opportunities for the subscriber to send variable
size data packets. Typical applications include high bandwidth FTP. The polling period is
typically be one second or less, even during periods of network congestion.
•Best Effort (BE)
The base station schedules transmit opportunities for the subscriber to send traffic based on
unused bandwidth after all higher level traffic scheduling requirements are serviced. Typical
applications include Internet access and email. Best effort service flows can be assigned a
priority of 0 to 7.
•Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS)
The base station schedules a continuous series of transmit opportunities for the subscriber
to send fixed size data packets. This schedule supports real-time applications, including VoIP
or TDM transport. The UGS pre-scheduled grants guarantee reserved bandwidth and reduce
latency introduced by repetitive grant requests. The service flow will not transmit packets larger
than the nominal grant interval.

3. Mounting
RuggedMAX™ 24 Installation and User Guide v4.2.1
3. Mounting
The WiN5100 / WiN5200 ODU CPE mounting kit allows for pole or wall mounting.
When choosing the mounting location for the unit, consider the available mounting structures and
antenna clearance.
3.1. Site Survey
Most wireless networks include many CPEs and BSTs installed in various locations in an
overlapping radio-cell pattern. It is important to position each CPE at an optimal location
considering the assignment of its radio channels. Therefore, a site survey becomes an essential
first step before physically deploying the WiN5100 / WiN5200 solution.
Installation of the CPEs requires a backhaul connection to interface with the corporate network or
Internet. The backhaul connection can be an Ethernet-wired connection, a wireless–connection,
or a third party solution.
The site survey should include a detailed planning of the WiMAX system deployment. The system
deployment plan should include mounting points and the routes for the power and backhaul cables.
3.1.1. Recommended Site Requirements
It is highly recommended that the WiN5100 / WiN5200 CPEs be mounted near the edge of the roof
of a tall building. The CPEs should be pointed in the direction of the area to be covered. To provide
maximum coverage, multiple CPEs can be installed on the same rooftop. To prevent interference
between the units themselves, it is important to leave some distance between each unit. When
choosing the ideal location, it is also important to take into consideration the overall area topology.
3.1.2. Pole Mounting
You can attach the WiN5100 and WiN5200 to any pipe or pole with a diameter of 1.75" to 10".
3.1.3. Wall Mounting
You can attach the WiN5100 and WiN5200 to any wall capable of carrying the weight of the unit.
An outer wall on a roof or other high location to avoid interference from other buildings or trees
is preferred.

4.6. Aligning the CPE Antenna
For information on the location of and how to read the RSSI LED indicators, see
Section 2.3.6, “LED Indicators ”.
Procedure 4.3. Aligning the CPE Antenna
1. Point the antenna towards the general direction of the base station.
2. Verify that power is applied to the CPE. The PWR LED should be ON.
3. Verify that at least one green RSSI LED is ON, indicating that the CPE is synchronized with the
base station. If the CPE is not synchronized with the base station, ensure that all parameters
are configured properly. If the CPE is still not synchronized with the base station, improve
link quality by changing the direction of the antenna or by placing the CPE at a higher or
alternate location.
4. Rotate the CPE until the maximum RSSI link quality reading is achieved. If you encounter
prolonged difficulty in achieving the expected link quality, try to improve the reception quality
by placing the CPE at a higher point or in an alternate location.
Ensure that the front of the antenna is always facing the base station. In some
conditions, such as when the line of sight to the base station is impeded, better
reception may be achieved using a reflected signal. In this case, direct the antenna
towards the reflecting object, rather than towards the base station.
In some cases, the antenna may need to be tilted to ensure that the level at which
the CPE receives transmissions from the base station (and vice versa) is not
too high. When only the last RSSI LED is on, this indicates saturation and that
the received signal level is too high. This must be avoided, preferably by tilting
the antenna upwards. As a rule of thumb, if the CPE is located at a distance of
less than 300 meters from the base station, it is recommended to tilt the antenna
upwards by approximately 10° to 15°.
4. Installation Procedure
RuggedMAX™ 29 Installation and User Guide v4.2.1
4.7. Cable Connections
4.7.1. Weatherproofing
It is extremely important to weatherproof all outdoor cable connections. Weatherproofing the
connections at the outdoor unit and antennas prevents corrosion, prevents water from interfering
with the connection, and helps to keep the connection tight. Because cables also carry DC current,
the need for proper weatherproofing cannot be overstated.
We recommend the use of sealing tapes designed for outdoor use:
• 3M™ Scotch® Super 88 Electrical Tape
• Heavy-duty weather-, abrasion-, and UV-resistant rubber splicing tape or self-amalgamating
tape
Rubber mastic putty or duct sealing putty must also be used to complete the weatherproofing
where needed. We do not recommend silicon seal or glue. These materials are difficult to apply
accurately and are difficult to remove. Do not use PVC tape.
Weatherproofing Cable Connections
Most outdoor unit, antenna, or cable problems are caused by coaxial cable connections loosened
by vibration, allowing moisture to penetrate the connector interface. We recommend that all
outdoor unit-to-cable connections be weatherproofed using a procedure similar to the one
described below.
This method of weatherproofing must be completed on all external connections. If surge arrestors
are used, all the associated connections and arrestors must be completely wrapped with splicing
tape or self-amalgamating tape.
Before waterproofing, ensure all connectors are correctly tightened. Ensure the
connector and cables are free of foreign substances such as oil, water, grease,
and dirt. Ensure that the cable extends below the connector to which it is attached,
providing a path for water to follow away from the connected device.
Procedure 4.4. Weatherproofing Cable Connectors
1. Begin to wrap the rubber-splicing or self-amalgamating tape. Start as close to the equipment
body as possible. Stretch and wind the tape around the connector housing, ensuring there
are no gaps in the tape.
4. Installation Procedure
RuggedMAX™ 30 Installation and User Guide v4.2.1
Figure 4.5. Wrapping the Connector with Rubber-splicing or Self-amalgamating Tape
2. Tightly wrap the connector and the cable. Overlap the tape, without gaps, all the way along
the connector. Continue wrapping the tape 25 mm (1") onto the cable.
Figure 4.6. Wrapping the Cable with Rubber-splicing or Self-amalgamating Tape
3. For UV protection of the rubber splicing tape, wrap two layers of electrical tape on top of the
rubber splicing tape.
Figure 4.7. Wrapping the Connector with Electrical Tape
4. Work mastic putty or duct sealing putty between the connector and the body of the radio or
antenna. Ensure the putty fills any gaps not covered by the tape.

bank is designated as either the “Primary” or “Secondary” memory bank. When you reset or
reboot the CPE, it always runs the software installed in the “Primary” bank. The CPE web console
provides controls to change the “Primary” and “Secondary” designations on the memory banks,
and to reboot the CPE using the “Secondary” memory bank for testing. Software saved in one
bank can be copied to the other, allowing you to create backups and to restore or update versions
as required.
