The indoor unit is powered from the mains and connects to the ODU via a Category 5E Ethernet cable carrying the Ethernet data between the two units, as well as power (-54 VDC) and control signals to the ODU and status indications from the ODU. There are two types indoor units: The BMAX-CPE-IDU-1D is the basic IDU, functioning as a simple interface unit with a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port that connects to the user’s equipment. The IDU-NG-4D1W Wireless Networking Gateway IDU provides advanced routing capabilities and can also serve as a Wireless LAN Access Point. Configuration and performance monitoring of the SU can be performed using any of the following options: BreezeMAX PRO CPE 3 Chapter 1 - Product Description Remotely through the Base Station, using either the Monitor program or SNMP. Locally via the Ethernet port, using Telnet to access the Installer Monitor program. Using a PC/Notebook or a PDA with an http browser to access the built-in web configuration server. To facilitate the configuration process, antenna alignment and performance monitoring during installation/testing, a special Y-cable is available. This enables connecting a Notebook or a PDA directly to the ODU for fast and easy completion all the necessary operations. An SU Alignment Unit (SAU) is also available, supporting easy and convenient antenna alignment and status verification. The SAU includes signal strength and status indicators, and a Velcro strap enabling to attach it either to a pole or on the installer’s arm/wrist. 1.2 Voice and Networking Gateways The following Gateways are currently available from Alvarion: IDU-NG-4D1W: A Networking Gateway with advanced routing capabilities that serves also as an SU-IDU, supporting 4 data ports and 1 Wireless LAN port. VG-1D1V: A stand-alone (external) Voice Gateway, connecting to an SU-IDU and supporting 1 data port and 1 POTS port. VG-1D2V: A stand-alone (external) Voice Gateway, connecting to an SU-IDU and supporting 1 data port and 2 POTS ports. Details on installing, managing and using the Voice Gateways and the Wireless Networking Gateway are provided separately in the relevant manuals. These Gateways incorporate an advanced protocol (DRAP) for automatic registration and allocation of wireless link resource. 1.2.1 DRAP (Dynamic Resources Allocation Protocol) DRAP is a protocol based on IP/UDP between the Gateway (installed behind the SU) and the BreezeMAX system. The protocol provides an auto-discovery mechanism for the Gateway, so no specific configuration is required and the BreezeMAX PRO CPE 4 Voice and Networking Gateways Gateway can automatically locate and register with the BreezeMAX base station. The protocol uses a few simple messages enabling a Voice Gateway to request resources when calls are made, and the BreezeMAX to dynamically allocate them. Using the DRAP solution has the following advantages: Maintain telephony toll quality over the wireless network – dynamically allocate Continuous Grant (CG) connections for active calls, maintaining the QoS and low jitter needed for toll-quality voice services. Allocate Continuous Grant dedicated bandwidth only for the duration of the call – the air resources are allocated and released according to the DRAP messages, which are based on the VoIP signaling. This dynamic allocation ensures efficient use of the air resources. Prevent callers from placing calls if a sector is overloaded – the operator can control and limit the maximum number of concurrent calls per wireless sector and per end user voice gateway. Thus, the operator has complete control of its network and the resources in it. Automatic support of Codec changing in a VoIP call – the DRAP messages update the BreezeMAX equipment on any Codec change or subsequent bandwidth allocation change during the call, hence the exact required bandwidth is always provided. This is essential in fax transmissions where the call might begin with one Codec and switch to another to accommodate the fax transmission. VoIP stack is always in synch with the wireless transport – as the DRAP is integrated into the VoIP stack all calls are terminated according to the VoIP standard. Even if no resources are available, the voice gateway receives an appropriate message from the BreezeMAX system and sends the required signaling message according to the VoIP standard used. 1.2.2 IDU-NG-4D1W Wireless Networking Gateway IDU Alvarion's Wireless Networking Gateway enables operators and service providers using Alvarion’s BWA system to provide subscribers with a number of broadband services transparently. The Wireless Networking Gateway IDU together with the SU-ODU comprises an SU that provides data connections to the Base Station. The four 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports connect to the user’s data equipment, providing comprehensive routing functionality BreezeMAX PRO CPE 5 Chapter 1 - Product Description and supporting various security features. User’s data equipment equipped with either IEEE 802.11b (11M) or IEEE 802.11g (54M) compatible wireless adapters can connect to the unit via its built-in Wireless LAN port, functioning as an Access Point. The Wireless Networking Gateway IDU is powered from the mains and connects to the ODU via a Category 5E Ethernet cable. This cable carries the Ethernet data between the two units as well as power (54 VDC) and control signals to the ODU. It also carries status indications from the ODU. The Wireless Networking Gateway is designed for remote management and supervision using either the built-in internal web server or SNMP. The Wireless Networking Gateway is easily updated and upgraded as it supports remote software and configuration file download. 1.2.3 VG-1D1V and VG-1D2V Voice Gateways Alvarion’s Voice Gateways enable operators and service providers to offer end users a combination of IP-telephony and broadband data services. IP-telephony services are supported for standard analog phones or G3 fax machines. The VG-1D1V has a single POTS interface, and the VG-1D2V has two POTS interfaces. The Voice Gateways is built on the H.323 and SIP standards and support both narrow (compressed) and wideband (uncompressed) speech codecs, silence suppression with comfort noise, line echo cancellation and regional telephone parameters. Class 5 services such call waiting and 3-party call are also supported. Up to 3 telephones can be connected in series to each telephone port. Daisy chaining of Voice Gateways enables the service provider to offer certain end users, for example small offices, additional telephone numbers. The Voice Gateway also supports Internet access or any other Ethernet based services. The unit can be installed behind a router/NAT due to NAT traversal support allowing signaling as well as voice packets to correctly reach Softswitch or Gatekeeper for bi-directional call initiations. The Gateway can handle up to 16 simultaneous VLANs, enabling the operator to offer different services to different end users behind the unit. The Voice Gateways are designed for remote management and supervision using either the built-in internal web server or SNMP. The Voice Gateways are easily updated and upgraded as they support remote software and configuration file download.

For units that connect to an external antenna (SE model): Antenna* and RF cable* for connecting the antenna to the ODU. SAU* (SU Alignment Unit) for antenna alignment and status verification. Grounding cable with an appropriate termination. Installation tools and materials, including appropriate means (e.g. a 1” to 4” pole) for installing the ODU (and antenna where applicable). 2.1.1.3 Optional Items Tilt Pole Mounting kit*. To connect directly to the ODU for configuration/performance monitoring: A special Y-cable* and a Notebook or PDA with web browser. NOTE Items marked with an asterisk (*) are available from Alvarion. BreezeMAX PRO CPE 14 Installing the ODU 2.1.2 Guidelines for Positioning the ODU This section provides key guidelines for selecting the optimal installation locations for the ODU. CAUTION ONLY experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities should install outdoor units and antennas. Failure to do so may void the BreezeMAX product warranty and may expose the end user or Service Provider to legal and financial liabilities. Alvarion and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or regulation violations associated with the installation of Outdoor Units or antennas. Select the optimal locations for the equipment using the following guidelines: The ODU should be mounted on a 1”-4” pole. Its location should enable easy access to the unit and its connectors for installation and testing. The higher the placement of the antenna, the better the achievable link quality. The antenna should be installed to provide a direct, or near line of sight with the Base Station antenna. The antenna should be aligned to face the general direction of the Base Station. In some cases it might be necessary to up/down-tilt the antenna. An optional Tilt accessory for the ODU providing a tilt range of +/-15° is available from Alvarion. The tilt option might be necessary to either improve the link conditions or, if the SU is too close to the Base Station, to reduce the receive signals strength. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the Base Station, it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15° (especially in line-of-sight conditions) to avoid saturation of the receivers by too strong signals. Outdoor units with a connection to an external antenna should be installed as close as possible to the antenna. BreezeMAX PRO CPE 15 Chapter 2 - Installation 2.1.3 IDU-ODU Cables NOTE The length of the Indoor-to-Outdoor cable should not exceed 90 meters. The length of the Indoor-to-Outdoor cable, together with the length of the Ethernet cable connecting the CPE-IDU-1D to the data equipment, should not exceed 100 meters.

BreezeMAX PRO CPE 33 Chapter 3 - Commissioning 3.3 Fast Configuration and Antenna Alignment A special Y-cable, available from Alvarion, enables to connect a Pocket PC (or a portable PC) directly to the IDU COM port of the ODU. This enables the installer to perform the entire process of configuring basic parameters, aligning the antenna and verifying proper operation of the unit right after completing the installation, minimizing the number of times the installer must climb to the roof. To use a Pocket PC/Notebook for completing the entire installation process on the roof: 1 Disconnect the IDU-ODU cable from the ODU. 2 Connect the Y-cable according to the following drawing: To IDU COM Connector To PDA/PC IDU-ODU cable (to IDU) Figure 3-1: Connecting the Y-Cable 3 From the Pocket PC/Notebook, connect to the SU and complete the process of configuring basic parameters. BreezeMAX PRO CPE 34 Fast Configuration and Antenna Alignment 4 5 Verify that the the unit is synchronized with a Base Station. If the SU is not synchronized with a Base Station, ensure that all parameters are configured properly. If the unit is still not synchronized with a Base Station, improve the quality of the link by changing the direction of the antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher or in an alternate location. Rotate (and/or tilt if applicable) the ODU/antenna until the maximum link quality (SNR and RSSI) reading is achieved. If you encounter prolonged difficulty in achieving the expected link quality, try to improve the reception quality by placing the antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location. NOTE Ensure that the front of the antenna is always facing the Base Station. However, in certain conditions, such as when the line of sight to the Base Station is hampered, better reception may be achieved using a reflected signal. In this case, the antenna is not necessarily directed toward the Base Station. 6 Secure the ODU/antenna firmly to the pole. CAUTION In some cases, the antenna may need to be tilted to ensure that the level at which the SU receives transmissions from the AU (and vice versa) is not too high. When the RSSI reading is higher than -20 dBm, the received signal level is too high (saturation). This must be avoided, preferably by up-tilting the antenna. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the AU, it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15°. BreezeMAX PRO CPE 35 Chapter 3 - Commissioning 3.4 SU Alignment Unit (SAU) The SU Alignment Unit can be used during installation and testing to support an easy process of antenna alignment and provide the ODU’s status indications. The Velcro strap of the SAU enables to attach it either to a pole or on the installer’s arm/wrist, providing hands-free operation. To connect the SAU to the ODU: 1 Remove the sealing cap of the ODU’s SAU connector. 2 Connect the cable attached to the SAU to the SAU connector. 3 After completing the installation, disconnect the cable and replace the cap as shown in the following figure. Make sure that the small protrusion on the side of the cap fits inside the hole on the connector’s protective body: Figure 3-2: Inserting the SAU Sealing Cap Figure 3-3: SAU Front Panel BreezeMAX PRO CPE 36 SU Alignment Unit (SAU) Table 3-2: SAU LEDs Name Description ALRM Alarm indication Functionality Off – ODU is OK, diagnostic test passed Red – ODU failure PWR Power indication Off – ODU is not powered Green – ODU power is OK ETH Ethernet link status Off – No Ethernet connectivity has been detected between the outdoor unit and the device connected to the indoor unit indication (Ethernet integrity) Green– Ethernet connectivity has been detected between the outdoor unit and the device connected to the indoor unit LINK QUALITY Wireless link status and bar display signal quality Indication See Table 3-3 * After power-up, the ALRM, ETH and all LINK QUALITY LEDs illuminate until self-test has completed.

LEDs 2 to 9 (green) indicate the quality of the received signal. The higher the number of LEDs illuminating, the better the quality of the received signal. If all LEDs, including LED 10 (red) are on, the received signal strength is too high. This must be avoided, preferably by up-tilting the antenna. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the Base Station, it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15°. To align the antenna: 1 Point the antenna toward the general direction of the Base Station. 2 Connect the SAU to the ODU. 3 Verify that the PWR (power) indication on the SAU is on. 4 Verify that the WLNK (LED 1) indicator is on, indicating that the unit is synchronized with the Base Station. If the SU is not synchronized with the Base Station, ensure that all parameters are configured properly. If the unit is still not synchronized with the Base Station, improve the quality of the link by changing the direction of the antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location. 5 Rotate (and/or tilt if applicable) the ODU/antenna until the maximum 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 antenna at a higher point or in an alternate location. NOTE Ensure that the front of the antenna is always facing the Base Station. However, in certain conditions, such as when the line of sight to the Base Station is hampered, better reception may be achieved using a reflected signal. In this case, the antenna is not necessarily directed toward the Base Station. 6 Secure the ODU/antenna firmly to the pole. BreezeMAX PRO CPE 38 Operation Verification 3.6 Operation Verification To verify proper operation of the SU, examine the LED indicators on the IDU (see Table 2-5 on page 27) and the SAU (see Table 3-2 on page 37). NOTE Verifying the correct operation of the ODU using the SAU LEDs is meaningful only after the configuration and alignment processes are completed, and the unit is synchronized with the Base Station. To verify data connectivity, from the end-user’s PC or from a portable PC connected to the unit, ping a known device in the network, or connect to the Internet.
