IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn 11..11 GGeenneerraall The information contained in this manual provides GigAccess™ OFDM 700 system overview and instructions for Planning, Installation, Configuration, and Operation of both the Access Units, the Subscriber Units including antennas and accessories. 11..22 GGiiggAAcccceessss™™ OOFFDDMM SSyysstteemm OOvveerrvviieeww GigAccess™ OFDM is a wireless point-to-point and point-to-multipoint broadband communication system. The basic subsystem is composed of a single sector, which consists of an Access Unit (AU) and up to 250 Subscriber Units (SU). Each sector is a stand-alone communication network operating on a star topology with a gateway to the WAN, which allows two-way communication between the SUs and the WAN via the AU. A Sector may be extended by sub sectors, which are consecutive to the SUs within the sector. GigAccess™ include a Base Controller (BC). The BC is a PC running GigAccess™ Network Management System (NMS) application that monitors and controls the AUs and their corresponding SUs. The NMS provides SNMP integration, thus connecting with already existing NMS that service providers might have. Its main purpose is to configure the AUs and SUs with SLA (Service Level Agreement). Once the AU is configured, the configuration is stored in the AU and the sector can run autonomously without the need of a BC (stand alone configuration).

AUAUSwitch/RouterSUSUSUSU Base Controller(Option)WAN Figure 1-2: Typical sector in GigAccess™ OFDM System The sector uses a single radio channel frequency with a 5 MHz bandwidth, which carries up to 9 Mbps data throughput. The system is a frame-based system, meaning the time dimension is divided into small periods called frames. Each frame is divided into two parts: downstream part (traffic passing from the AU to the SUs) and upstream part (traffic passing from the SUs to the AU). The Time Domain Duplex (TDD) technique is utilized to divide the bandwidth periodically based on the frame size. The portion of the frame, which is allocated to the upstream traffic, is divided between the SUs in the time domain using TDMA (Time Division Multiplex Access) technique. All the divisions are done dynamically thus allowing the SUs to share the channel capacity in a very efficient way. Figure 1-3: GigAccess™ OFDM 700 Outdoor Unit
WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 700Page 7 of 39GigAccess™ OFDM MAC layer is based on IEEE 802.16 MAC standard with additional proprietary attributes, which allow for special features such as Consecutive AP™. GigAccess™ OFDM network layer enables routing and QoS queuing of traffic based on classification of packets using information in layers 2, 3 & 4-7. In certain instances, QoS queuing can be done using packet information (priority defined by the management). GigAccess™ OFDM leverages Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology to deliver high data rates, high spectral efficiency in addition to immunity to interference and line of site boundaries via patent pending Consecutive AP™ technology, delivering data burst rates of up to 9 Mbps. GigAccess™ OFDM ensures always-on connectivity to full range of IP-based services, including fast Internet, High Quality VoIP and Video. GigAccess™ provides an instant and independent infrastructure, which is immediately deployable (self installed) with low infrastructure construction and operating costs. In case of Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) between the AU and the SU due to obstacles such as tall buildings or mountains, a consecutive sector may be used. In this scenario, the SU Ethernet output feeds a consecutive AU, which is used as a router and transmits the input data over the obstacle as shown in figure below.

Its location should allow easy access to the unit for installation and testing. • The AU should be installed where it provides coverage of all SUs in the area it is intended to serve. The higher the AU or its detached antenna, the better coverage it can provide. • When using a detached antenna, the AU should be installed as near as possible to its antenna. 22..44..11..22 AAcccceessss UUnniitt ((AAUU)) Location of the Access Unit is on the Service Provider sole discretion considering local topology and the desired cover. One (in case of Omni antenna) or several AUs (in case of directional antenna) forms the BS (Base-Station) – the central of a cell. The placement of AUs should be such that cells overlap slightly, to guarantee seamless wireless connectivity everywhere. Neighboring AUs should preferably send and receive on different channels or different polarization for maximum throughput (minimum interference).

Path of Clearest Propagation A propagation path is the path that signals traverse between the antennas of any two bridges. The “line” between two antenna sites is an imaginary straight line, which may be drawn between the two antennas. Any obstacles in the path of the “line” degrade the propagation path. The best propagation path is, therefore, a clear line of sight with good clearance between the “line” and any physical obstacle. Physical Obstacles Any physical object in the path between AU and SU can cause signal attenuation. Common obstructions are buildings and trees. Any buildings or other physical structure such as trees, mountains or other natural geographic features higher than the antenna and situated in the path between the two sites can constitute obstructions. Install outdoor antennas high enough to avoid any obstacles, which may block the signal. Minimal Path Loss Path loss is determined by several factors: • Distance between sites – Path loss is lower when distances between sites are shorter. • Clearance – Path loss is minimized when there exists a clear line of sight. The number, location, size, and makeup of obstacles determine their contribution to path loss. • Antenna height – Path loss is lower when antennas are positioned higher. Antenna height is the distance from the imaginary line connecting the antennas at the two sites to “ground” level. “Ground” level in an open area is the actual ground. In dense urban areas, “ground” level is the average height of the buildings between the antenna sites.

The tool consists of dedicated software running on a PC. This PC communicates with the outdoors unit via the Ethernet and is used to burn the configuration parameters (including the transmit power) into the outdoor unit. The tool limits the max transmit power according to the selected antenna, the selected regulation (FCC) and the selected link type (point-to-multi-point/point-to-point). The installer, if needed, can select a lower power. The Unit Manager Tool supports two levels of privilege password: regular user and administrator user. Since power output levels will affect compliance of the unit with FCC rules, precautions are built into the system to keep the end user from adjusting the power output level above the regulation limits. Therefore, the following parameters are Configurable only by administrator user: • Antenna type (detached or integrated) • Antenna gain • Tx Power • Link Type (point-to-multi-point or point-to-point) The above configuration is done with the advanced window of the Unit Manager Tool – (paragraph 10.5.1). For open outdoor areas with clear line of sight between the SU and the AU the suggested maximum distance is given in Appendix C – RF Power and Distance versus Antenna Gain. For detailed calculations please refer to Appendix B – RF Link Budget Calculation. 22..44..33..33 CCoo--llooccaatteedd aanntteennnnaass GigAccess™ OFDM was designed to work with co-located antennas. That means that two or more units can be mounted close to each other. The minimum distance between the two antennas should be 50 cm. The two antennas should be of the same type (Directional Flat Panel Antenna or Base Station Antenna). The main idea is to utilize polarizations: one antenna in vertical polarization and the other in horizontal polarization. Omni antennas are not relevant for co-location.

AAppppeennddiixx BB –– RRFF LLiinnkk BBuuddggeett CCaallccuullaattiioonn Proper RF link planning ensures that the AU/SU receives sufficient signal power to maintain the desired Bit Error Rate (BER). The following section gives a brief description of the basic RF terms and describes the calculation of the maximum safe distance versus the antenna gain. A typical radio system is given hereunder: AU(Transmitter) SU(Receiver)Gt GrPt PrCt Cr Figure 5-1: Radio Link – General description The following variables are used to calculate the link budget: Pt - Transmitted Power in dBm. Ct – Transmitter Cable Attenuation in dB. Gt - Transmitting antenna Gain in dBi. EIRP – Effective Isotropic Radiated Power in dBm. This is the power radiating from the antenna, taking into account the output power from the transmitter, connector losses, cable losses and antenna gain. PL - Path Loss in dB. This is the signal loss as it travels through the air. Gr - Receiving antenna Gain in dBi. Cr – Receiver cable attenuation in dB. Pr – Receiving Power Level at Receiver in dBm. Sr – Receiver Sensitivity in dBm (The minimum RF signal power level required at the input of the receiver for certain performance: E^-5 BER). F.M. – Fade margin in dB. The fade margin is the amount by which the system gain plus total gain exceeds the path loss or in other words this is the number of dB that the received signal strength exceeds the minimum receiver sensitivity. Any wireless system requires some level of fade margin to compensate for RF path fading due to weather conditions or multi-path interference. (The transmitted signal arrives at the receiver from different directions, with different path length, attenuation and delays. The summed signal at the receiver may result an attenuated signal). GigAccess™ recommended fade margin at 700 MHz is minimum of 6-10 dB.

The tool is divided logically into two levels, standard and advanced. At startup, the tool automatically direct the technician into a simple installation page that includes all the information needed to install the unit. When the need arises, the technician can select another pages and operations in order to perform more complex infrequent operations (like burning a new firmware etc.). The tool has the ability to discover GigAccess Units connected to the network and allows configuration of one unit at a time. 1100..22 AAccttiivvaattiinngg tthhee ttooooll Activate the tool by clicking the SW icon. (Normally called: GigAccessUnitManager.exe). When you first activate the tool the following windows appears: Figure 10-1: Unit Manager Tool – First Window

This command discovers (with a broadcast command) the units on the network. The application waits (discover time) for replies and display a list of the units replied (see Figure 10-3). Figure 10-3: Discover Window
WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 700Page 33 of 39The discover time interval can be configured in the application configuration file. Select one the units from the list, select a Login User privilege (USER or ADMIN) and type the corresponding password. (The default passwords are user / admin). Finally, press the Login Button. The application starts a session with the selected unit. The unit configuration is retrieved and displayed. As long as the session is active, the unit type, MAC and IP address are displayed on the title of the application window. The Login settings can be saved in the application configuration file by checking the Remember Setting Checkbox. • Another way to login into the unit consider that the user already know the IP address of the unit. In this case, just insert the unit IP address in the appropriate edit box of the First Window select a User privilege and password and then press Login.

The window contains both AU and SU fields. Only the relevant fields are enabled. Figure 10-5: Installation Window The Installation window contains the following fields: " MAC Address – the Unit’s unique MAC Address. " IP Address – the Agent’s IP Address. This field can be configured. " Subnet Mask – the Agent’s Subnet Mask. This field can be configured. " Default Gateway – the default gateway the Agent needs to use for transfer packets out of its subnet. This field can be configured. " Primary AUID – the Primary AU MAC Address the SU needs to connect to. This field can be configured for SU only. " Secondary AUID – the Secondary AU MAC Address the SU needs to connect to. This field can be configured for SU only. " Estimated Range status window – the estimated range in meters between the AU and the SU. This field is updated when the SU is online (Operation Mode) and relevant for SU only.
WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 700Page 35 of 39" Operation Mode status window – this field shows the status of the Unit. The status is different between AU and SU: o AU Operation Modes: $ BC Negotiation – the AU tries to negotiate with the Base Controller in order to get configuration file. $ Online – the AU has the configuration file (Local Configuration File or the one it received from the Base controller) and RF channel is online. o SU Operation Modes: $ Scanning – the SU scans the RF channels marked in the RF channel list and search for the Primary/Secondary AUID. $ Online – the SU is connected to the AU if the SU exists in the AU configuration file. " Channel – the actual RF channels of the AU or SU. " RF Channel Scan– the RF Channels the SU should scan. This field can be configured and is relevant for SU only. " RSSI – this field is used to adjust the position of the SU during installation. The SU should be position in the direction where the RSSI value is the highest (Green color). This field is relevant for SU only. " PER – Packet Error Rate, this field shows the quality of the RF channel for periodic interference. This field is relevant for SU only. When the configuration is updated, it can be burned to the unit by pressing Submit.
