Laser Safety Statutory Warning
All personnel involved in equipment installation, operation, and maintenance must be aware that laser
radiation is invisible. Therefore, although protective devices generally prevent directly exposure to the beam,
personnel must strictly observe the applicable safety precautions, and in particular, must avoid staring into
optical connectors, either directly or using optical instruments.
Remember that observing safety precautions is not a matter of personal choice; ignoring safety puts all people
within the line-of-sight in danger.
Précautions de sécurité réglementaire pour laser
Tout personnel impliqué dans l’installation, le fonctionnement et la maintenance de l’installation doivent
savoir que les radiations laser sont invisibles . Donc , bien que généralement les protections évitent tout contact
direct avec les rayons émis, le personnel doit observer strictement les précautions de sécurité et en particulier ,
les connecteurs optiques , aussi bien directement ou avec des instruments d’optique.
Souvenez vous que remplir les précautions de sécurité n’est en aucun cas un choix personnel; ignorer les règles
de sécurité mets toutes les personnes en présence en danger.
Radio
The instrument transmits radio energy during normal operation. To avoid possible harmful exposure to this
energy, do not stand or work for extended periods of time in front of its antenna. The long-term characteristics
or the possible physiological effects of radio frequency electromagnetic fields have not been yet fully
investigated.
Outdoor Units and Antennas Installation and Grounding
Ensure that outdoor units, antennas and supporting structures are properly installed to eliminate any physical
hazard to either people or property. Make sure that the installation of the outdoor unit, antenna and cables is
performed in accordance with all relevant national and local building and safety codes. Even where grounding
is not mandatory according to applicable regulation and national codes, it is highly recommended to ensure that
the outdoor unit and the antenna mast are grounded and suitable lightning protection devices are used so as to
provide protection against voltage surges and static charges. In any event, Telrad Networks is not liable for any
injury, damage or regulation violations associated with or caused by installation, grounding or lightning
protection.
Transmitter Antenna
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique
à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la
puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à
l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

1.1.4 Antennas
In the system architecture, the antenna is approached as an independent element. This provides the
operator with the flexibility to select the antennas source according to its supplier policy. To ensure the
availability of antennas that complement the solution, Telrad works closely with several antenna
suppliers to ensure availability of antennas that comply with its requirements.
In cases where the operator prefers other antenna vendors, Telrad can provide a recommended antenna
specification based on the required antennas types.
Antennas may support mechanical down-tilt (MDT) using a suitable mounting kit, or electrical down-tilt
(EDT) that may be either fixed or adjustable using a special adjustment screw.
In addition to a range of standard commercial antennas, Telrad offers also a special attached antenna
designed for convenient installation on top of the BreezeCOMPACT unit. For the BreezeCOMPACT unit,
a special mounting kit allows installation of a standard antenna on top of the unit to minimize the space
required for installation.
For details on antennas offered by Telrad refer to “Antennas” on page 15.
1.1.5 GPS
GPS is used to synchronize the air link frames of Intra-site and Inter-site located Base Transceiver Stations
to ensure that in all Base Stations the air frame will start at the same time, and that all Base Stations will
switch from transmit (downlink) to receive (uplink) at the same time. This synchronization is necessary to
prevent Intra-site and Inter-site interference and Base Stations saturation (assuming that all Base Stations
are operating with the same frame size and with the same DL/UL ratio).The all-outdoor GPS Receiver is a
pole mountable GPS receiver and antenna in a single environmentally protected enclosure that is
powered from the unit.
Starting from R5.0 GPS Chaning is supported, where the chaining enables using a single GPS
receiver for several collocated units, below diagram which explain the GPS chaining connectivity:

3.5.2.4 ASN-GW Load Balancing Pools
The Load Balancing feature provides a WiMAX operator with the capability to build resilient ASN
infrastructure using ASN-GW redundancy. Every BS is provisioned with two lists of redundant ASN-GWs
(pools). The BS applies round-robin mechanism in order to pick an Authenticator for each MS that
performs initial network entry (for more details refer to “ASN-GW Load Balancing” on page 73). This
should eventually distribute the load between Anchor ASN-GWs. Geographical site backup can be
achieved by using different priority of ASN-GW pools (Authenticator “metric”.
At the unit (BTS) level, up to two pools (with different priorities), each with up to 10 ASN-GWs, can be
defined. Each BS will “inherit” these pools.
The ASN-GW Load Balancing Pools submenu includes two options: Primary Pool and Secondary Pool.
Select the Primary or Secondary Pool option to view or update the pool’s content. The options available
for each pool are:
Show: Select this option to view the current content of the pool.
Add: Select this option to add an ASN-GW address to the pool (up to a maximum of 10 addresses per
pool). You will be prompted to define the Index for the entry (a unique number in the range from 1 to
10) before defining the IP Address. An IP Address must be unique per both pools. Broadcast and
Multicast addresses are not legal. By default both pools are empty.

3.5.3.2 SW Version Control
The BTS can contain two SW versions:
Operational: Each time the BTS resets it will reboot using the version defined as Operational.
Shadow: Normally the Shadow version is the backup version. Each time a new SW File is downloaded
to the BTS, it will be stored as a Shadow version, replacing the previous Shadow Version.
The typical process of upgrading to a new SW version includes the following steps:
1Download the new SW File to the BTS. It will be stored as the Shadow version.
2Reset and run the BTS from its Shadow version. Note that at this stage, if a reset were to occur, the
BTS will return to the previous Operational version.
3If you want to continue using the new version, swap the Shadow and Operational versions. The new
(currently running) version is now defined as Operational, and will be used each time the BTS reboots.
The previous version is defined now as Shadow.

3.7.2.1.6 Paging Group ID
The Paging Group ID of the BS.
The single sector Idle Mode capability provides the benefits of MS power savings and manageable total
sector active and non active users, together with reduced overhead on the backhaul network.
Idle Mode (IM) mechanism allows an MS to become unavailable on the air interface, and thus freeing
operational resources and preserving MS power. During IM operation, an MS switch off its transmission
and reception capabilities, and becomes available for DL broadcast control messaging, i.e., MS Paging, in
a periodically manner. Using paging broadcast, BS can indicate (if necessary) the MS to exit from IM and
return into normal operation mode. The paging control message is sent over the DL of a set of BSs
simultaneously. This set is called Paging group (PG). In the current release, each Paging Group includes a
single BS.
During IM, MS performs location updates when moving from one PG to another. While in the same PG,
MS does not need to transmit in the UL and can be paged in the DL if there is traffic targeted at it.
The range is from 0 to 65535. 0 means that Idle Mode is not enabled. If Idle Mode is enabled (Paging
Group ID is not 0), should be unique in the Radio Access Network (different Paging Group ID for each
BS). Idle Mode should be either enabled in all units in the network (Paging Group ID other than 0) or
disabled in all units (Paging Group ID = 0). A combination in the same Radio Access Network of units
with Paging Group ID of 0 (Idle Mode disabled) and units with Paging Group ID other than 0 (Idle Mode
enabled) should be avoided.

3.7.2.2.3 DL Diversity Mode
The DL Diversity Mode option includes the DL Diversity Mode parameter. In the current release only
Matrix A or B is supported.
In MIMO Matrix A or B mode the system can use either MIMO Matrix A or MIMO Matrix B. The selection
between Matrix A and Matrix B is performed automatically for each MS according to link conditions and
supported MS capabilities.
MIMO Matrix A for Coverage Gain: In configuration with multiple transmit/receive antennas, a single
data stream is transmitted in parallel over multiple paths. A mathematical algorithm known as Space
Time Codes (STC) is used to encode the data streams to make them orthogonal to each other. This
improves the signal to noise ratio at the receiver side, resulting in increased range and better
throughput for subscribers that are difficult to reach (e.g. deep indoors).
MIMO Matrix B for Increased Capacity: This flavor of MIMO, also known as Spatial Multiplexing
MIMO (SM-MIMO), sends an independent data stream over each antenna. Thus, in case signal
conditions are good, the data rate is increased and in excellent conditions may be doubled.
3.7.2.3 Mobility
The Mobility menu enables viewing/updating the value configured for the following parameter:
3.7.2.3.1 Deployment

The maximum cell radius (in km).
The available values are 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 23. 30. The default is 2.
A change in Maximum Cell Radius will take effect after next reset.
3.7.2.5.4 Ducting Mitigation Mode
Sudden changes in the atmosphere's moisture and temperature profiles can on random occasions make
radio signals propagate hundreds of kilometers and even more, far beyond the normal radio-horizon.
When a BS suffers from such tropospheric ducting phenomena causing reception of a relatively strong
signal transmitted by a very far BTS, the Ducting Mitigation feature enables increasing the time period
between DL and UL transmissions to reduce potential interference effects. This is achieved by adding DL
Silenced Symbols and, if necessary, changing the number of Extra TTG slots (see below). This results in
reducing the actual UL Duration by 1 slot (Medium Ducting Mitigation Mode) or 2 slots (High Ducting
Mitigation Mode) without affecting the number of DL symbols (for the same combination of Configured
Total Uplink Duration and Maximum Cell Radius).
Note that for certain values of configured Total Uplink Duration the High and/or Medium options are not
available since the minimum uplink duration is 4 slots for a BS bandwidth of 5/10 MHz or 3 slots for a BS
bandwidth of 7 MHz.
The options are None, Medium or High.

The range is from 5000 to 10000 milliseconds (5 to 10 second). The default is 5000.
3.7.2.9 Scheduler
Scheduling uncommitted (above the maximum reserved rate) traffic can be done using one of the
following options:
Equal Time (ET) scheduling mode, in which air resources are being scheduled in a fair manner
proportional to the users' excess traffic (maximum sustained rate - maximum reserved rate) SLAs.
Equal Rate (ER) scheduling mode, in which air resources are allocated to users aiming at ensuring data
rate fairness between users proportional to their excess traffic SLAs.
Assuming a sector with diversity (different channels conditions) of active users, ET scheme enables
higher aggregate sector throughput at the expense of data-rate fairness among users, while ER
scheduling scheme ensures maximum data-rate fairness among users at the expense of lower aggregate
sector throughput.
Using ER scheduling scheme exposes the system to excessive allocation of air resources to highly active
users having relatively poorer channel conditions. To ensure data-rate fairness, more resources will to be
allocated to these users compared to users with relatively good channel conditions. The effect of a small
number of such users within the sector will be reflected by reduced aggregate sector throughput as well
as degradation of achievable rates for all users.
To protect against “abusing” users, an instantaneous rate threshold can be defined within the
scheduling scheme in which the amount of air resources for users with continuous instantaneous rate
below the threshold is being limited. The more the abusing users' instantaneous rate is below the
threshold, the more resource allocations limitation is applied.

3.9.1.6 Cock Mode (GPS Chaining)
This paramter is related to GPS Chaining functionality introduced in R5.0
For a cluster of Compacts on the same site, GPS chaining enables the capability to connect one Compact
to the GPS reciever (Master unit) the the rest of the Compacts to get clock feeding from the Mater (Slave
units).
Master should be configured for the BreezeCOMPACT unit which is directly connected to GPS (either
standalone or chaining mode)
Operator needs to be aware during installation which Compact is connected to the GPS and configure it
as a master. For slave units, GPS In cable will be connected from the previous Compact in the chain and
be configured as slave.
The maximum chain units supported is up to 3 units
The following Diagram explain the connectivity for GPS chaining mode:

3.11 Spectrum analyzer
The Spectrum Analyzer functionality was built for the installer and radio planner to decide for each
sector, once deployed, the best RF channel to define for the BreezCOMPACT, this function is critical in
unlicensed spectrum such as in 3.65 GHz – 3.7GHz in US and Canada where other transmitting devices
may interfere the BreezeCOMPACT.
The Spectrum Analysis feature enables gaining knowledge of the noise characteristics per channel. This
enables construction of a relatively noise free working environment. When the Spectrum Analysis
feature is activated, the unit will enter passive scanning mode for a definite period during which
information shall be gathered. The scanned channels will be the channels comprising the selected sub
set.
Upon activating the spectrum analysis the unit will automatically shutdown the RF ports. During the
information-gathering period the unit will not receive nor transmit data. It also will not be able to
synchronize/associate, meaning that it cannot be managed via the wireless link. At the end of the period
the user should configure the system for normal operation.
3.11.1 Enable / Disable
By entering BS numer (Sector 1 or Sector 2), user can disable or enable Spectrum Analyzer functionality.
Upon enabling the function the Tx ports will stop transmit.

3.12 Load Balancing
For topology of single sector dual carrier, the BreezeCOMPACT will anble load balancing between the
two carriers using algorithm based on number of registered CPEs on each sector.
There are two configurable paramters :
1- Num of MSs per Carrier : Default 30 - Defines the maximum number of MSs per Carrier, above this
number the Carrier will not connect additional CPEs.
Num of MSs difference between carriers : Default 10 - above this number the MS will re-connect to the
second carrier, making sure that the difference between the two carriers will not be greated than
configurable value.
Status :
Carrier 1 MS count - Display the maximum number of MSs on Carrier 1
Carrier 1 LB - Actual status of the number of MSs connected to Carrier 1
Carrier 2 MS count - Display the maximum number of MSs on Carrier 2
Carrier 2 LB - Actual status of the number of MSs connected to Carrier 2
The following diagram explain the flow of the loadbalancing:
In this example assuming “Num of MS difference between carrier” = 10MSs
As initial state the system is configured with the defaults of Maximum 30 MSs(CPEs) per carrier, Sector
1&2 did not connect MSs till now.
When new CPEs doing INE, the first sector will connect the CPEs till reaching above parameter Num of
MSs difference between carriers (default 10 MSs),
