2 Safety Guidelines This chapter outlines safety guidelines when installing the AS WipLL system. Warning: The user and the installer should be aware that changes and modifications not expressly approved by Airspan Networks could void the users authority to operate the equipment. Warning: Never install equipment that is damaged. Warning: Only qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, and service the AS WipLL equipment. 2.1. Electrical Safety Guidelines Warning: Disconnect all power when installing. 2.1.1. Handling Electrostatic Devices Electrostatic devices are those devices that may be damaged by the inadvertent discharge of static electricity from a charged body. The risk of damage, due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) to a device, may cause the device to fail suddenly, or it may induce a partial defect within the device, which will cause subsequent premature failure. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 2-1 Safety Guidelines Hardw are Installation Guide Static electricity can result from operators walking on floors, moving around on chairs, from the movement of operator's clothing or even casual brushing against racks, benches or walls. Airspan recommends the following guidelines to be adopted to minimize the risk of component failure due to electrostatic discharge to the device:

AS WipLL devices are provided typically in see-through anti-static bags. Wherever possible, checking and inspection of a unit should occur without removing it from the bag.

All operators shall wear the approved conductive overall.

Where operators come into direct contact with any piece of electronic hardware, operators must wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap. All straps and cords should be tested using a Wrist Strap Tester prior to use. The wrist strap cords shall have a 2 Meg Ohm resistor fitted at either end. Wrist straps should be worn in direct contact with bare skin and not over clothing. Warning: To prevent ESD damage to AS WipLL devices, always wear an ESD wrist strap when handling these devices or coming into contact with internal components. 2.1.2. Grounding Only certain AS WipLL devices require additional grounding. AS WipLL devices that do not require additional grounding have grounding at the main supply outlet. The following table lists the AS WipLL devices grounding requirements. Site Base Station CPE 2-2 Table 2-1: AS WipLL grounding requirements AS WipLL Grounding device BSR BSDU BSPS SPR Through the mains (via BSDU) Additional grounding required (grounding lug at rear end of chassis) Additional grounding required (grounding lug at rear end of chassis) Through the mains (via SDA) Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Safety Guidelines IDR Through the mains 2.1.3. Lightening Protection Warning: Never install the equipment during stormy weather and lightening. AS WipLL devices comply with the Surge Immunity standard: EN 61000-4-5. AS WipLL devices are protected from lightening surges as the outdoor devices (BSRs and SPRs) are encased in a plastic chassis. Therefore, if lightening strikes the device, an electrical circuit cannot be completed, and hence, no electrical surge can occur. In addition, AS WipLL outdoor and indoor (SDA) devices provide high-speed data line protection against direct and induced transient over-voltages surges on the cables. This capability is provided by the fact that all AS WipLL devices are designed with TVS (transient voltage suppressor) components that maintain potential differences. However, for geographical areas that have above normal lightening activity, Airspan can supply a surge protector composed of a 15-pin D-type adapter with a grounding wire. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 2-3 Safety Guidelines Hardw are Installation Guide 2.2. Installing AS WipLL Radios and Third-Party External Antennas Warning: For unlicensed bands, it is the responsibility of the person installing the AS WipLL system to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), that only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the output power level of antennas according to country regulations and per antenna type. Warning: Outdoor AS WipLL units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void Airspans AS WipLL product warranty and may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial liabilities. Airspan and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas. Warning: When using external antennas, the external antennas must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Warnings:

1) The device cannot be sold retail, to the general public or by mail order. It must be sold to dealers. 2) Installation must be controlled. 3) Installation must be performed by licensed professionals. 4) Installation requires special training. 2-4 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Safety Guidelines Warning: For unlicensed bands, in accordance with FCC regulations, ensure that the external antennas provide an EIRP of less than or equal to 36 dBm to prevent interference with other radios operating in the unlicensed band. The EIRP is defined by the following formula:

Max. Power Output + Antenna Gain - Cable Loss 36 dBm (EIRP) Airspan does not supply cables for connecting external antennas. It is the responsibility of the installer to provide the cable and ensure the cable characteristics (e.g. length and cable loss) enables adherence to FCC's regulations concerning maximum EIRP. The table below lists examples of cable loss per cable (not supplied by Airspan) for maximum antenna gains, based on the formula above. Note that the EIRP is either equal to or less than 36 dBm. Warning: when operating in the 700 MHz band (i.e. AS WipLL 700) using external antennas a minimum distances of 800 mm must exist. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 2-5 Safety Guidelines Hardw are Installation Guide 2.3. Preventing Radio Interference The digital portion of the transceiver has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try correct the interference by performing one or more of the following measures:

Reorientate or relocate the receiving antenna

Increase separation between the equipment and receiver

Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help Warning: The AS WipLL transceivers emit microwave radiation. Therefore, a minimum distance of 500 mm must be maintained from the front of the AS WipLL radios. However, the 800 mm minimum distances must exist when operating in the 700 MHz bands:

2-6 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Safety Guidelines 2.4. Cabling Warning: The maximum cable length between the radio transmitters (i.e., BSR and SPR) and terminating equipment is 100 meters. Warning: Cables with exposed ends (i.e., not yet crimped) should be covered with protective polythene bags during external cable installation processes. Note: Prior to the commencement of any installation, commissioning work at live sites it is the responsibility of the Airspan engineer to advise the customers representative before any activity commences. If in doubt assume equipment is live. Warning: Disturbance of cables on an In-Service exchange can cause loss of service. Extreme care must be taken when installing cables at any customer or subscriber premises. 2.4.1. Considerations The following issues should be considered during cabling at the AS WipLL Base Station and customer premises:

Cable routes are to be defined in the site-specific documentation. Note: A minimum separation of 200 mm should exist between power and data cables. However, it is permissible to allow these cables to cross each other at right angles.

Observe recommended minimum bend radii when installing copper cables. Wherever a cable changes direction, ensure that it does so in a smooth curve with a radius of at least 50 mm to prevent damage.

Plastic ties and wraps are to be used to secure cables at regular intervals to trays, guides, and mounting pole/bracket. Ensure all trimmed ends are disposed of safely and at regular intervals. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 2-7 Safety Guidelines Hardw are Installation Guide

Data cables of less than 20 pairs shall be mixed in bundles not exceeding 50 mm in diameter.

Ensure cables are not trapped in cabinet doors, by slide-in equipment or support metalwork.

Excessive stress on cable terminations caused by taught cables should be avoided. Connector strain relief, if not built into the connector used, shall be provided by means of a strategically located cable tie. A maintenance loop or a generous amount of cable slack shall be provided just before the cable reaches the AS WipLL device to allow for equipment removal without disturbance to adjacent cables.

When installing network cables, ensure they are not damaged by friction or sharp edges.

Data cables providing connection to the customers network shall be run in protective conduits. Cable conduits should be secured to the wall in accordance with manufacturers instructions.

External data cables are to be protected in metal conduits, which are to be in accordance with manufacturers the building structure secured recommendations. to

Wiring conduits must be placed in areas to prevent a trip hazard (e.g. dont install on roof walkways)

Cables should be carefully fed through conduits and not pulled by means of any attached connector.

Sufficient space should be provided in cable conduits, trunking or trays (where possible) to allow for future cabling growth.

Data cables threaded into holes drilled in walls are to be covered by a waterproof sheath to prevent water penetration.

Silicone sealant should be used to plug any holes on both internal and external wall surfaces once cables are in place.

Cables not housed in conduits must be placed in a manner to avoid a trip hazard.

(Avoid trailing wires across passageways.) 2-8 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Safety Guidelines 2.4.2. Labeling The following labels are required to be fitted to AS WipLL equipment:

(Optional) The SPR model with an N-type connector can be connected to an external antenna. The addition of an external antenna allows greater RF sector coverage than the standard SPR internal antenna models (i.e., 60). Cable: RF coaxial Connector: N-type male

Warning: Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the SPR is NOT connected to the power source. Warning: Before powering on the SPR, ensure that some type of equipment such as an antenna or an RF attenuator is connected to the N-type receptacle. This eliminates the risk of burning the SPR device. Warning: It is the responsibility of the person installing the WipLL system to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), that only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the output power level of antennas according to country regulations and per antenna type. Warning: In accordance with FCC regulations, ensure that for external antennas, the maximum EIRP is 36 dBm. The EIRP is defined as:

Max. Power Output + Antenna Gain + Cable Loss 36 dBm (EIRP) 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 10-19 Installing the SPR Hardw are Installation Guide To connect the SPR to an external antenna:

Attach an N-type male connector of the third-party antenna to the N-type receptacle located on the SPRs front panel.

Notes:

1) Pins 9 through 15 of the 15-pin D-type connector are not used. 2) The wire color-coding described in the table is WipLL's standard for wire color-coding. However, if you implement your company's wire color-coding scheme, ensure that the wires are paired and twisted according to the pin functions listed in Table 10-4 (e.g., Rx+ with Rx-). WipLL uses the following wire color-coding standard for CAT 5 cables (8 wires used) connecting the outdoor radio units to the indoor Ethernet hubs or switches:

Figure 10-15: WipLL wire color-coding for 15-pin D-type connectors 10-22 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Installing the SPR Warning: To avoid electrical shock, before connecting the SPR to the SDA, ensure that the SDA is not connected to the power supply. Notes:

1) The wires are twisted together in pairs, for example, blue/white with blue, and orange/white with orange. This prevents electrical interference between the transmitter pins. For example, pin 3 (Tx+; orange / white) is paired and twisted with pin 4 (Tx-; orange). 2) The SDA connector pinouts are the same for all SDA models (SDA-1, SDA-

4H, SDA-4S, SDA-4S/VL, SDA-4S/Vltag, SDA-4S/1H3L, and SDA-

4S/VL/1H3L). To connect the SPR to the SDA (see Figure 10-16):

1. Connect the 15-pin D-type connector, at one end of the CAT 5 cable, to the SPRs 15-pin D-type port labeled DATA POWER SYNC. Connect the 15-pin D-type connector, at the other end of the CAT 5 cable, to the SDAs 15-pin D-type port. 2. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 10-23 Installing the SPR Hardw are Installation Guide Figure 10-16: SPR-to-SDA cable connections Note: The maximum cable length permissible between the SPR and SDA is 100 meters. 10-24 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Installing the SPR 10.5. Connecting to a PC for Serial Configuration To configure an SPR, you need to connect a PC running the WipLL WipConfig configuration tool to the SPR. The SPRs 15-pin D-type port also provides serial interface to a PC for SPR initial configuration. This port uses 9 of its 15 pins for serial interface; the remaining pins are used for interfacing with the SDA with which the SPR remains connected. To connect the SPR to the management station (i.e., PC) and the SDA, a Y-cable (splitter) is used. Note: SPR configuration is performed while the SPR is connected to the SDA. The SPR-to-PC and SDA cable connections for SPR serial configuration are as follows:

Mounting The BSR can be mounted on a wall or pole. The BSR is mounted using the mounting holes located on the BSRs bottom panel (see Figure 6-2) and the mounting bracket (provided by Airspan). Mounting holes Figure 6-2: BSR bottom panel providing holes for mounting Note: The BSR must be mounted in a location whereby the antenna used for the BSR is not co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 6-3 Installing the BSR Hardw are Installation Guide 6.2.1. Minimum Distance Between BSRs To prevent radio interference, each BSR requires a minimum of 1-metre separation between adjacent BSRs (see Figure 6-3). 1 Metre min. Figure 6-3: Minimum separation between mounted BSRs Warning: To avoid RF interference between BSRs operating in the 700 MHz, where four BSRs are installed at a Base Station, a 1-meter separation must be provided between the antennas of the BSRs operating in the lower frequencies

(i.e., 711.5 and 714.5 for 1 Msps mode; 712 and 714 for 1.33 Msps mode) and the antennas of the BSRs operating in the upper frequencies (i.e., 741.5 and 744.5 for 1 Msps mode; 742 and 744 for 1.33 Msps mode). Warning: The BSR emits microwave radiation; a minimum distance of 500 mm must be maintained from the front of the BSR. However, for the 700 MHz band (i.e. WipLL 700), when external antennas are used, a minimum distance of 800 mm must be maintained from the front of the device. 6-4 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Installing the BSR 6.2.2. Wall Mounting BSR wall mounting is performed in two stages:

Attaching the mounting bracket to the BSRs mounting holes Attaching the mounting bracket (attached to the BSR) to the wall

To mount the BSR on a wall:

1. Attach the mounting bracket to the BSR using two stainless steel bolts, as shown in Figure 6-4. BSR 15-pin D-type connector BSR Fixing Bolts BSR Mounting Bracket Jubilee clip slots Figure 6-4: Attaching the mounting bracket to the BSR 2.

Adjust the vertical position of the BSR. Lock the BSR at the desired position by inserting the locking bolt in the desired position. Once the correct angle has been set both bolts must be tightened to lock the BSR bracket in place. Adjust the horizontal position of the BSR by rotating the BSR about the pole, and then tighten the U-bolt. BSR positioning is obtained in two planes by adjustment of the mounting bracket assembly a shown in Figure 6-9. Rotation about the mounting bracket Rotation about the mounting pole Figure 6-9: BSR orientation in vertical (top figure) and horizontal plane (lower figure) Note: A thread-locking compound is to be used to prevent the bolts working loose. A loop should be left in the cable for maintenance purposes and to prevent the cable weight being taken directly on the connector. 6-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Installing the BSR 6.3. Connecting Third-Party External Antennas

(Optional) A third-party external antenna can be attached to the BSR model providing an N-

type port. The addition of an external antenna allows greater RF sector coverage than the standard BSR Internal Antenna model (i.e., 60). The BSR with an external antenna is especially suited for Base Stations with one BSR, where sector coverage can be increased to 360 by using an omni-directional antenna. The BSR model for the 900 MHz and 700 MHz bands provide two N-type connectors for attaching two external antennas. This provides dual-antenna diversity. Warning: It is the responsibility of the person installing the WipLL system to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), that only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the output power level of antennas according to country regulations and per antenna type. Warning: For WipLL 700 MHz, where four BSRs are installed at a Base Station, a 1-meter separation must be provided between the antennas of the BSRs operating in the lower frequencies (i.e., 711.5 and 714.5 for 1 Msps mode; and 712 and 714 for 1.33 Msps mode) and the antennas of the BSRs operating in the upper frequencies (i.e., 741.5 and 744.5 for 1 Msps mode; and 742 and 744 for 1.33 Msps mode). Warning: In accordance with FCC regulations, ensure that when operating in unlicensed bands, the external antennas provide a maximum EIRP of 36 dBm to prevent interference with other radios operating in the unlicensed band. The EIRP is defined as:

Max. Power Output + Antenna Gain + Cable Loss 36 dBm (EIRP) 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 6-11 Installing the BSR Hardw are Installation Guide The following lists the BSR-to-third party antenna cable setup:

Cable (third party): RF coaxial Connector (third party): N-type male (two N-type connectors for BSR model for 900 MHz band. The N-type socket labeled Primary is used only if one antenna is connected. If you are using two antennas for diversity coverage, attach the second antenna to the other N-type socket.) Warnings:

1) Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the BSR is NOT connected to the power source. 2) Before powering on the BSR, ensure that some type of equipment such as an antenna or an RF attenuator is connected to the N-type socket. This eliminates the risk of damaging the BSR device. 6-12 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Installing the BSR To connect the BSR to a thrid-party external antenna:

Attach the third-party N-type male connector, at the end of the RF cable, to the N-type socket located on the BSRs front panel, as displayed in Figure 6-10. Notes:

1) For crimping cables for N-type connectors, see Appendix B, Cable Crimping. 2) Ensure that the third-party antenna cable is of sufficient quality to reduce or eliminate loss when operating in the required frequency band. Figure 6-10: Attaching third-party external antenna 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 6-13 Installing the BSR Hardw are Installation Guide 6.4. Cabling for Serial Configuration The BSR provides an RS-232 port for serial interface to a PC. This serial interface allows you to perform local BSR configuration. Notes:

1) For serial configuration, the BSR must remain connected to the BSDU/SDA

(i.e., the BSRs 15-pin D-type port remains connected to the BSDUs/SDAs 15-

pin D-type port). 2) For a detailed explanation on performing BSR initial configuration, refer to WipConfig Users Guide or WipConfig PDA Users Guide. The following lists the BSR-to-PC serial cabling:

multipoint IP-based Broadband Fixed Wireless (BFW) Access solution. ASWipLL provides wireless local-loop (last-mile) connectivity designed to deliver high-speed data, Voice over IP (VoIP), and multimedia services to residential, SOHO (small office/home office), and SME (small medium enterprise). ASWipLL offers service providers an integrated access solution, providing quick-to-market deployment and low-market entry cost for broadband services. ASWipLL operates in the licensed band (700 MHz, 925 MHz, 1.5 GHz, 2.3 GHz, 2.5 GHz Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Services - MMDS, 2.8 GHz, and 3.x GHz - ranging from 3.3 to 3.8 GHz), and unlicensed band (900 MHz, 2.4 GHz ISM, and 5.8 GHz). Each ASWipLL Base Station, at maximum configuration, supports up to 3,024 subscribers, providing connectivity speeds of up to 4 Mbps. ASWipLL enables interconnection with the Public Switched Telephone Network

(PSTN) by the use of an IP-to-PSTN gateway. ASWipLL provides VoIP by its interoperability with a wide range of third-party products such as residential gateways (RGW), access gateways, gatekeepers, and softswitches. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 1-1 Overview Hardw are Installation Guide ASWipLL utilizes air protocol technology for wireless packet switching using Frequency Hopping technology. ASWipLL's in-house Preemptive Polling Multiple Access (PPMA) Air MAC protocol technology, which recognizes transmission type and allocates bandwidth, is highly efficient80% throughput (e.g. 80% of 4 Mbps =

3.2 Mbps net capacity)allowing multiple concurrent subscribers to utilize bandwidth. ASWipLL provides bandwidth management by supporting both asymmetric and aggregated Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Maximum Information Rate

(MIR), guaranteeing bandwidth levels to subscribers. In asymmetric CIR/MIR, different values are defined for uplink and downlink traffic: in aggregated CIR/MIR, values are defined as the sum of the uplink and downlink traffic. ASWipLL supports VLANs and VPNs based on IEEE 802.1Q/p. ASWipLL supports IP routing and PPPoE bridging, as well as transparent bridging. ASWipLL provides embedded security features such as IP (packet) filtering based on addresses, protocols, and applications. The ASWipLL system provides SNMP-based management, allowing remote and local management, configuration, and monitoring of ASWipLL equipment. 1.2. System Architecture The ASWipLL system architecture is composed of the following three basic areas:

Base Station site: consists of ASWipLL access units that interface between the providers backbone and the ASWipLL subscriber sites.

Subscriber site: consists of ASWipLL customer premises equipment (CPE) that interfaces between the Base Station and the subscribers network.

Network management tools: consists mainly of Windows- and SNMP-based programs, providing fault, configuration, performance, and security management for the ASWipLL system. 1-2 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Overview Figure 1-1 displays a block diagram of the main areas of the ASWipLL system. Figure 1-1: ASWipLL System Architecture 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 1-3 Overview Hardware Installation Guide 1.3. Base Station Units The ASWipLL Base Station interfaces between the subscriber sites and the service providers backbone, providing subscribers with high-speed data, Internet, and VoIP services. The ASWipLL system provides various devices (some optional) for the Base Station site. The implementation of these devices depends on the desired network (e.g. point-to-point radio link), number of outdoor radios and power source at the Base Station, and required synchronization type (i.e. by GPS).

Base Station Radio (BSR) The BSR is an outdoor radio unit, typically mounted on a pole or wall, involved in providing a wireless link between the Base Station and subscribers. The standard BSR provides 60-degree radio coverage, serving up to 126 subscribers in a sector. The BSR is available in the following models:

! BSR with a built-in antenna

! BSR with one N-type port for connecting an optional third-party external antenna

! BSR with two N-type ports for connecting two optional third-party external antennas for dual antenna diversity For Base Stations consisting of multiple BSRs, the BSRs are powered, and interface with the providers backbone by the ASWipLL Base Station Distribution Unit

(BSDU). For a Base Station consisting of a single BSR, the BSR is typically powered and connected to the providers backbone by the ASWipLL Subscriber Data Adapter (SDA). 1.3.2. Point-to-Point Radio (PPR) The PPR device is similar to the BSR, but implemented in a point-to-point radio configuration, providing wireless communication with a single remote subscriber ASWipLL radio unit (i.e. SPR or IDR). 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 1-5 Overview Hardware Installation Guide 1.3.3. Base Station Distribution Unit (BSDU) The BSDU is an Ethernet switch implemented at Base Stations consisting of multiple BSRs. The BSDU provides 100Base-T interface between the BSRs and the providers backbone. The BSDU is also responsible for providing BSRs with 48 VDC power supply and frequency hop synchronization between BSDUs, BSRs, and Base Stations (when a GPS is implemented). The BSDU is installed indoors in a standard 19-inch cabinet, and connects to the BSRs by standard CAT-5 cables. Each BSDU can connect to a maximum of six BSRs. In addition, up to four BSDUs can be daisy-chained to support a maximum of 24 BSRs. Therefore, a Base Station at maximum configuration can serve up to 3,024 subscribers. Note: At a Base Station consisting of a single BSR, the BSR typically interfaces with the providers backhaul through the SDA instead of the BSDU.

(See Section 1.4.1, "Outdoor Radio (SPR) with Indoor Switch/Hub"). 1.3.4. SDA-1/48V The SDA-1/48V is a compact indoor adapter, especially designed for use when available power source is 48VDC (i.e. no AC power supply), and when no synchronization is required (i.e. in licensed bands). The SDA-1/48V provides the BSR with Ethernet connectivity to the backhaul. 1.3.5. Global Positioning System (GPS) - Optional The GPS antenna is a rugged, self-contained GPS receiver and antenna that receives a universal GPS satellite clock signal. The GPS is an optional unit that connects to the BSDU. The GPS synchronizes frequency hopping of multiple Base Stations, ensuring that the entire ASWipLL network operates with the same clock based on a universal satellite clock signal, and, thereby, eliminating radio frequency ghosting effects. 1-6 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Overview 1.3.6. Base Station Power Supply (BSPS) - Optional The BSPS is an optional third-party unit that is implemented at Base Stations to provide 48 VDC power supply and power redundancy. The BSPS is installed in a standard 19-inch cabinet and connected to the BSDU. The BSPS provides the BSDUs and BSRs with the following:

! Power supply of 48 VDC.

! Power redundancy in case of power failure. The BSPS charges a battery bank that provides this power redundancy during mains failure. Thus, the BSPS acts as a DC-uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with a battery connected to it. The size of the battery determines the backup and charging time. Since the system is current limited, the maximum battery size is based on that limit.

! Remote power management and monitoring (by ASWipLLs WipManage program). The BSPS consists of the following basic components:

! Main unit:

! DC Rectifier modules: converts AC current to DC. The BSPS can house up to four rectifiers. The rectifiers are hot plugged and operate in parallel. This enables the user to define an N+1or N+2 redundant system. Each rectifier has its own current sharing system, satisfying a complete sharing among rectifiers.

! System controller: provides BSPS management control and BSPS operating information.

! Electronic Low Voltage Detector (ELVD): disconnects the battery from the load, avoiding damage to the battery when over-discharged.

! Load and battery circuit breakers: provide DC protection and distribution.

! DC Distribution unit: provides circuit breakers for distributing the output current to multiple BSDUs. It also contains a bypass switch to bypass the LVD.

! Battery: provides the BSPS system with back-up power. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 1-7 Overview Hardware Installation Guide 1.4. Subscriber Site Units The ASWipLL subscriber units are located at the subscribers premises. The ASWipLL subscriber site consists of a radio transceiver that receives and transmits signals from and to the Base Station. The radio transceiver provides the subscriber with high-speed data access, Internet access, and VoIP at up to 4 Mbps. The ASWipLL radios interface with the subscribers Ethernet network either through a hub or switch, or directly, depending on ASWipLL radio model. Note: For VoIP support, Airspan can provide a third-party residential gateway

(RGW). The RGW typically provides two POTS ports for telephony, a 10BaseT LAN port for subscriber PC/network, and a 10BaseT port for connecting to the SDA or IDR (depending on subscriber site configuration). The ASWipLL system provides two different subscriber site configurations:

! Outdoor radio (i.e. SPR) with indoor Ethernet switch/hub (i.e. SDA)

! Indoor radio only (i.e. IDR device) 1.4.1. Outdoor Radio (SPR) with Indoor Switch/Hub

(SDA) The outdoor radio with indoor Ethernet switch/hub configuration consists of the ASWipLL Subscriber Premises Radio (SPR) and the ASWipLL Subscriber Data Adapter (SDA), respectively. 1.4.1.1. Subscriber Premises Radio (SPR) The SPR is an outdoor radio transceiver that provides a wireless link between the subscribers network and the Base Station. The SPR connects to the subscribers network through the SDA Ethernet hub/

switch. The SDA provides the SPR with DC power, lightening protection, and Ethernet (10Base-T and/or 100Base-T) interface with the subscribers PCs/network

(up to four PCs depending on SDA model). 1-8 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Overview The SPR is mounted outside on an external wall or on a pole. The SPR connects to the SDA by a standard CAT-5 cable. The SPR is available in the following basic models:

SPR with Standard Gain Antenna: includes a built-in antenna with 15-dBi antenna gain, covering an area of 23 degrees.

SPR with High-Gain Antenna: includes a built-in antenna with 18-dBi antenna gain, covering 15 degrees.

SPR with External Antenna: includes an N-type connector port for attaching a third-party external antenna. 1.4.1.2. Subscriber Data Adapter (SDA) The SDA is a switch or hub (depending on model), providing the SPR with -48 VDC power supply, lightening protection, and 10/100BaseT interface to the subscribers PCs/network. The SDA is installed indoors and can be mounted on a wall or simply placed on a desktop. The SDA connects to the SPR by a standard CAT-5 cable. The SDA is available in the following models:

SDA-1: hub providing one 10BaseT interface with the subscribers computer (or LAN network if connected to another hub or a switch).

SDA-1/DC: adapter that provides Ethernet (one 10BaseT) and regulated 48 VDC power to the SPR. This model can be powered from a voltage of 10 52 VDC (e.g. from a solar panel that typically provides 12 VDC). This model is typically implemented in mobile wireless applications, e.g. in a car or truck.

(This model can also be implemented at a Base Station with a BSR.)

SDA-4H: hub providing four 10BaseT interfaces with the subscribers computers and/or networks. One of the 10BaseT ports provides crossover cabling for interfacing with another hub or LAN switch. Alternatively, it may be connected to another PC via a crossed Ethernet cable. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 1-9 Overview Hardware Installation Guide

! SDA-4S: integrated LAN switch, providing four 10/100BaseT interfaces with the subscribers PCs/network. The ports of the SDA-4S models support Auto Negotiation, allowing automatic configuration for the highest possible speed link: 10BaseT or 100BaseT, and Full Duplex or Half Duplex mode. In other words, the speed of the connected device (e.g. a PC) determines the speed at which packets are transmitted through the SDA-4S port. For example, if the device to which the port is connected is running at 100 Mbps, the port connection will transmit packets at 100 Mbps. If the device to which the port is connected is running at 10 Mbps, the port connection will transmit packets at 10 Mbps. The SDA-4S ports also support automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, allowing connection of straight-through or crossover CAT-5 cables to any port. The SDA-4S is available in the following models:

! SDA-4S (standard): standard integrated LAN switch, providing four 10/100BaseT interfaces with the subscribers computers. This model is ideal for SOHO implementation.

! SDA-4S/VL: provides VLANs between ports and the SPR, ensuring privacy between LAN users of the different ports. For example, all users connected to Port 1 do not see users connected to Port 2. This model is ideal for multi-tenant (VLAN security) implementation.

! SDA-4S/VLtag: ideal for multi-tenant applications where traffic engineering and privacy is required. SDA-4S/VLtag assigns a specific VLAN ID to traffic, based on the SDA-4S/Vltag port at which the traffic arrives. The VLAN IDs are fixed (since SDA-4S/VLtag is not user configurable). SPR converts the four VLAN IDs tagged by SDA-4S/VLtag to four VLAN IDs configured through ASWipLLs network management system (WipManage). The tag conversion is performed by SPR before sending the traffic to the air

(i.e. to the BSR) and vice versa when coming from the air. 1-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Overview

! SDA-4S/1H3L: provides a high priority port (left-most port) for VoIP traffic.

! SDA-4S/VL/1H3L: combines the functionality of the SDA-4S/VL and SDA-4S/1H3L models (i.e. VLAN for each port and a high priority port for VoIP). Figure 1-3 displays a typical subscriber site setup implementing an SPR and SDA. Figure 1-3: Subscriber site with SPR and SDA units (optional RGW) 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 1-11 Overview Hardware Installation Guide 1.4.2. Indoor Radio Unit (IDR) Only The indoor radio unit configuration consists of the ASWipLL Indoor Data Radio

(IDR). The IDR combines the functionality of the SPR and SDA, functioning as a transceiver and a hub. The IDR provides one 10BaseT Ethernet interface to the subscribers network. The IDR receives its power from a separate power supply unit

(AC-DC power adapter). The IDR is available in two models:

! IDR with a built-in internal antenna

! IDR with a TNC connector for attaching a third-party external antenna The IDR with a built-in antenna is typically mounted on an interior wall or on a desktop with line-of-site with the Base Station. The antenna of the IDR model with an external antenna is typically mounted outdoors to provide line-of-site with the Base Station. The IDR can be used for data and voice transmissions. In the case of voice, the IDR uses a third-party RGW to interface with the subscribers IP phone. Figure 1-4 displays a typical setup for data and voice at a subscriber site implementing the IDR. Figure 1-4: Subscriber site with IDR and third-party external antenna (optional RGW) 1-12 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 2 Safety Guidelines Safety Guidelines Safety Guidelines Safety Guidelines This chapter outlines safety guidelines when installing the ASWipLL system. Warning: The user and the installer should be aware that changes and modifications not expressly approved by Airspan Networks could void the users authority to operate the equipment. Warning: Never install equipment that is damaged. Warning: Only qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, and service the ASWipLL equipment. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 2-1 Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide 2.1. ASWipLL Radios and Third-Party External Antennas Warning: Do not connect and disconnect antennas while the power is on. This can cause irreversible device damage. Warning: The digital portion of the transceiver has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try correct the interference by performing one or more of the following measures:

- Reorientate or relocate the receiving antenna

- Increase separation between the equipment and receiver

- Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help Warnings:

1) The device cannot be sold retail, to the general public or by mail order. It must be sold to dealers. 2) Installation must be controlled. 3) Installation must be performed by licensed professionals. 4) Installation requires special training. Warning: The ASWipLL radio devices and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void Airspans ASWipLL product warranty and may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial liabilities. Airspan and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas. 2-2 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Safety Guidelines Warning: For unlicensed bands, it is the responsibility of the person installing the ASWipLL system to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), that only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the output power level of antennas according to country regulations and per antenna type. Warning: For unlicensed bands, in accordance with FCC regulations, ensure that the external antennas provide an EIRP of less than or equal to 36 dBm to prevent interference with other radios operating in the unlicensed band. The EIRP is defined by the following formula:

Max. Power Output + Antenna Gain - Cable Loss 36 dBm (EIRP) Airspan does not supply cables for connecting external antennas. It is the responsibility of the installer to provide the cable and ensure the cable characteristics (e.g. length and cable loss) enables adherence to FCCs regulations concerning maximum EIRP. The table below lists examples of cable loss per cable (not supplied by Airspan) for maximum antenna gains, based on the formula above. Note that the EIRP is either equal to or less than 36 dBm. Warning: The ASWipLL transceivers emit microwave radiation. Therefore, a minimum distance must be maintained from the front of the ASWipLL radios:

- Unlicensed bands (e.g. 5.8 GHz): 200 mm

- Licensed bands:

- 700 MHz (i.e. ASWipLL 700) = 800 mm

- 2.5 GHz (i.e. ASWipLL 2.5) = 500 mm 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 2-3 Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide Warning: To avoid RF interference between BSRs operating in the 700 MHz where four BSRs are installed at a Base Station, a 1-meter separation must be provided between the BSRs antennas operating in the lower frequencies (i.e. 711.5 and 714.5 for 1 Msps mode; 712 and 714 for 1.33 Msps mode) and the BSRs antennas operating in the upper frequencies (i.e. 741.5 and 744.5 for 1 Msps mode; 742 and 744 for 1.33 Msps mode). Warning: When using external antennas, the external antennas must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Warning: ASWipLL radios using an external antenna(s) must not be co-

located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Warning: Inherent risks exist in operating equipment in license-exempt bands

(i.e. 900 MHz). Airspan recommends that you do not purchase or deploy any equipment that operates in license-exempt bands without first analyzing the interference environment at each of your proposed deployment locations. Please contact your Authorized Airspan System Integrator or Distributor if you have any questions or require assistance regarding interference analysis. Airspan Networks will not be held responsible for product performance issues related to interference. Warning: In environments that produce disturbances such as paging systems, Airspan recommends using a narrow-band cavity filter and implementing the appropriate frequency bands (within the filters capabilities), i.e. building an NVRAM frequency table using only these frequencies. Warning: Mount outdoor radios so that their front panel ports face down to prevent water from settling on the ports. This avoids damage to the units such as corrosion and electrical short-circuiting. Warning: Do not mount outdoor radios and external antennas in weather such as rain or lightening that may increase risk of electrocution. Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 2-4 Hardware Installation Guide Safety Guidelines 2.2. Electrical Safety Guidelines Warning: Connect the power only after all network and antenna cable connections are performed. Powering the device before connecting, for example, the external antenna, can lead to irreversible device damage. Warning: To prevent short-circuiting and electrical shocks, cables with exposed ends (i.e. not yet crimped) should be covered with protective polythene bags during external cable installation processes. 2.2.1. Handling Electrostatic Devices Warning: To prevent ESD damage to ASWipLL devices, always wear an ESD wrist strap when handling these devices or coming into contact with internal components. Electrostatic devices are those devices that may be damaged by the inadvertent discharge of static electricity from a charged body. The risk of damage, due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) to a device, may cause the device to fail suddenly, or it may induce a partial defect within the device, which will cause subsequent premature failure. Static electricity can result from operators walking on floors, moving around on chairs, from the movement of operators clothing or even casual brushing against racks, benches or walls. Airspan recommends the following guidelines to be adopted to minimize the risk of component failure due to electrostatic discharge to the device:

! ASWipLL devices are provided typically in see-through anti-static bags. Wherever possible, checking and inspection of a unit should occur without removing it from the bag.

! All operators shall wear the approved conductive overall.

! Where operators come into direct contact with any piece of electronic hardware, operators must wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap. All straps and cords should be tested using a Wrist Strap Tester prior to use. The wrist strap cords shall have a 2 Meg Ohm resistor fitted at either end. Wrist straps should be worn in direct contact with bare skin and not over clothing. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 2-5 Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide 2.2.2. Grounding Only certain ASWipLL devices require additional grounding. ASWipLL devices that do not require additional grounding have grounding at the main supply outlet. The following table lists the ASWipLL devices grounding requirements. Table 2-1: ASWipLL grounding requirements Site Base Station ASWipLL device BSR BSDU BSPS SPR IDR CPE Grounding Through the mains (via BSDU) i.e. no additional grounding required Additional grounding required (grounding lug at rear end of chassis) Additional grounding required (grounding lug at rear end of chassis) Through the mains (via SDA), i.e. no additional grounding required Through the mains, i.e. no additional grounding required 2.2.3. Lightening Protection Warning: Never install the equipment during stormy weather and lightening. ASWipLL devices comply with the Surge Immunity standard: EN 61000-4-5. ASWipLL devices are protected from lightening surges as the outdoor devices

(BSRs and SPRs) are encased in a plastic chassis. Therefore, if lightening strikes the device, an electrical circuit cannot be completed, and hence, no electrical surge can occur. In addition, ASWipLL outdoor and indoor (SDA) devices provide high-speed data line protection against direct and induced transient over-voltages surges on the cables. This capability is provided by the fact that all ASWipLL devices are designed with TVS (transient voltage suppressor) components that maintain potential differences. 2-6 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Safety Guidelines However, for geographical areas that have above normal lightening activity, Airspan can supply a surge protector composed of a 15-pin D-type adapter with a grounding wire. 2.3. Cabling Warning: The maximum cable length between the radio transmitters (i.e. BSR and SPR) and terminating equipment is 100 meters. Warning: Cables with exposed ends (i.e. not yet crimped) should be covered with protective polythene bags during external cable installation processes. Warning: Prior to the commencement of any installation, commissioning work at live sites it is the responsibility of the Airspan engineer to advise the customers representative before any activity commences. If in doubt assume equipment is live. Warning: Disturbance of cables on an In-Service exchange can cause loss of service. Extreme care must be taken when installing cables at any customer or subscriber premises. 2.3.1. Considerations The following issues should be considered during cabling at the ASWipLL Base Station and customer premises:

! Cable routes are to be defined in the site-specific documentation. Note: A minimum separation of 200 mm should exist between power and data cables. However, it is permissible to allow these cables to cross each other at right angles.

! Observe recommended minimum bend radii when installing copper cables. Wherever a cable changes direction, ensure that it does so in a smooth curve with a radius of at least 50 mm to prevent damage. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 2-7 Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide

! Plastic ties and wraps are to be used to secure cables at regular intervals to trays, guides, and mounting pole/bracket. Ensure all trimmed ends are disposed of safely and at regular intervals.

! Data cables of less than 20 pairs shall be mixed in bundles not exceeding 50 mm in diameter.

! Ensure cables are not trapped in cabinet doors, by slide-in equipment or support metalwork.

! Excessive stress on cable terminations caused by taught cables should be avoided. Connector strain relief, if not built into the connector used, shall be provided by means of a strategically located cable tie. A maintenance loop or a generous amount of cable slack shall be provided just before the cable reaches the ASWipLL device to allow for equipment removal without disturbance to adjacent cables.

! When installing network cables, ensure they are not damaged by friction or sharp edges.

! Data cables providing connection to the customers network shall be run in protective conduits. Cable conduits should be secured to the wall in accordance with manufacturers instructions.

! External data cables are to be protected in metal conduits, which are to be in accordance with manufacturers the building structure secured recommendations. to

! Wiring conduits must be placed in areas to prevent a trip hazard (e.g. dont install on roof walkways)

! Cables should be carefully fed through conduits and not pulled by means of any attached connector.

! Sufficient space should be provided in cable conduits, trunking or trays (where possible) to allow for future cabling growth.

! Data cables threaded into holes drilled in walls are to be covered by a waterproof sheath to prevent water penetration. 2-8 Airspan Networks Inc. 02030311-07 Hardware Installation Guide Safety Guidelines

! Silicone sealant should be used to plug any holes on both internal and external wall surfaces once cables are in place.

! Cables not housed in conduits must be placed in a manner to avoid a trip hazard.

(Avoid trailing wires across passageways.) 2.3.2. Labeling The following labels are required to be fitted to ASWipLL equipment:

! Voltage Warning

! High Earth Leakage Current

! Signal Cable Designation 2.3.2.1. Voltage Warning Warning: Voltages over 30 Volts AC and 50 Volts DC are categorized as hazardous. Hazard warning labels should be fitted where required. Certain countries require equipment warning and instruction labels to appear in the local language. When installing ASWipLL equipment ensure that local requirements regarding labels are given consideration.

! Where mains power is fed from separate phases, appropriate warning labels must be fitted to warn of the increased danger.

! The AC equipment used in the BSPS cabinet must carry a relevant voltage warning label specific to the country in which it is being installed. The label will be fitted to the cabinet doors displaying an electrical hazard symbol, the local operating voltage and the letters AC.

! A power feed identification label (e.g. PWR A) shall be applied in the following locations:

! On the rear of the main power rack adjacent to the terminal block

! Attached to BSPS AC mains power plug or lead

! Attached to the customer mains power socket or distribution rail

! On the BSPS power circuit connection at the fuse board 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 2-9 Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide 2.3.2.2. High Earth Leakage Current If equipment earth leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA, a warning label as shown in Figure 2-1 must be fitted to the rear of the main power rack alongside the AC inlet terminal block. WARNING HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT Earth connection essential Before connecting supply Figure 2-1: Warning label if earth leakage current exceeds 3.5 mA 2.3.2.3. Signal Cable Designation All data cables should be labeled with both the source and destination at each end. A wrap around identification label, similar to that shown in Figure 2-2, is to be fitted to both ends of ASWipLL data cables. Care should be taken to ensure that the cable identification information is clearly visible. Fit the label 100 mm from the cable end. Wrap the label ensuring good adhesion to cable and itself.
