PREFACE Thank you for purchasing Airspan's ProST wireless access device. The ProST customer premise equipment (CPE) is part of Airspan's AS.MAX family of WiMAX-based products. This section discusses the purpose, audience, conventions, and customer support of this guide. Purpose This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up and installing the ProST. Targeted Audience This guide is intended for the Airspan technician who is a qualified installer responsible for installing the ProST.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW The ProST is an outdoor WiMAX-based customer premises equipment (CPE). The ProST, which uses Intel Corporation’s Pro/Wireless 5116 broadband interface, connects IP-enabled devices directly to WiMAX networks. Designed for the residential and small enterprise (SME) markets, the device supports high-speed broadband Internet through a Fast Ethernet connection. The ProST ensures high service availability at enhanced ranges, operating in both LOS and NLOS propagation environments.
System Overview o o greater choice of access devices greater choice of interoperability between technologies High throughput providing fast access at burst data rates of up to 37 Mbps over a channel bandwidth of 10 MHz, and up to 18 Mbps over a channel bandwidth of 5 MHz Low cost Architecture The ProST system consists of the following components: Encased ProST outdoor unit SDA-1 Type II indoor adapter (or optional SDA-4S Type II or SDA-4S/VL Type II) Third-party external antenna (optional deployment)
605-0000-707 ProST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev C The ProST model with the N-type connector for connecting an external antenna is shown below: ProST Block Diagram The figure below displays the ProST block diagram: ProST Protocols Stack The figure below displays a block diagram of the ProST's network architecture, designed as a hierarchy of protocols (i.e. protocol stack) implemented in the communication network.
System Overview Theory of Operation For basic operation, the ProST requires no initial configuration--simply plug and play. Configuration is automatically performed over the air by the BS. The ProST is preconfigured by the operator at the BS (using Netspan) with service flow parameters such as the maximum information rate, the committed information rate, the maximum latency, and maximum jitter. These configuration parameters are stored in Netspan's database corresponding to the ProST's MAC address.
GETTING STARTED Before installing your ProST, read the following topics to ensure that: No items are missing from the package Minimum computer requirements are fulfilled You have the required installation tools Radio Site planning has been performed Package Contents Examine the AS.MAX shipping container. If you notice any damage, or missing items as listed in the Packing List, immediately notify the carrier that delivered the unit and contact an Airspan representative.
Getting Started Torque wrench for N-type connectors (only relevant when implementing external antenna) Note: Airspan does not provide screws and wall anchors for mounting the ProST to the wall. The screw size depends on the structure of the building to which the ProST is to be attached. When selecting screw sizes, consideration must be given to the weight of the ProST and load that may be induced in windy conditions.
605-0000-707 ProST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev C Fresnel Zones define the amount of clearance required from obstacles. These zones are composed of concentric ellipsoid areas surrounding the straight-line path between two antennas. Thus, the zone affects objects to the side of the path and those directly in the path.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION This section provides a description of the components of the ProST installation: ProST radio (outdoor unit) SDA-1 adapter (indoor unit -- switch and power interface) SDA-4S Type II and SDA-4S/VL Type II adapters (optional) ProST The ProST is an encased outdoor radio providing access to communication ports on its front panel. The ProST's bottom panel provides holes for mounting. Physical Dimensions The table below lists the physical dimensions of the ProST.
605-0000-707 ProST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev C SDA-1 Physical Description The SDA-1 is an integrated Ethernet and AC/DC power supply adapter that simply plugs into a standard electrical wall outlet (110/240 VAC). The SDA-1 provides the ProST with the following: 10/100BaseT interface with subscriber's network/PC 10 to 52 VDC power supply The SDA-1 enables easy plug prong replacement to suit geographical location of electrical outlet sockets (e.g. American vs. European).
Physical Description The SDA-4S Type II and SDA-4S/VL Type II indoor units (hereafter referred to as SDA-4S for convenience) are two optional integrated LAN switches that offer an alternative to the SDA-1 Type II unit. These two units have identical physical dimensions and design, as displayed in the figure below. Physical Dimensions The SDA-4S Type II and SDA-4S/VL Type II physical dimensions are described in the table below: Parameter Value Dimensions (L x W x H) 200 x 150 x 40 mm (7.87 x 5.9 x 1.
605-0000-707 ProST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev C determines the speed at which packets are transmitted through the specific 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. Conversely, if the device to which the port is connected is running at 10 Mbps, the port connection will transmit packets at 10 Mbps.
MOUNTING Warning: ProST is an outdoor radio unit, and therefore, must only be mounted outdoors. Warning: Mount the ProST in an orientation such that its 15-pin D-type port (located on the front panel) faces downwards. This prevents rain water from settling on the port, and thereby, avoiding damage to the unit such as corrosion and electrical shortcircuiting. ProST can be wall mounted or pole mounted.
605-0000-707 ProST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev C 1. 2. Position the unassembled mounting bracket on the mounting surface (e.g. wall), and then use a pencil to mark the position of the four mounting holes. Ensure that the distance between the hole centers are 120 mm (height) and 60 mm (width), as displayed in the figure below showing the ProST's fixing dimensions. Drill holes for each hole that you marked in the step above. 3. Insert wall anchors (not supplied) into each of the drilled holes. 4.
Mounting 5. Attach the ProST to the mounting bracket by performing the following: a. Slide an M10-spring lock washer and then an M10-plain washer onto each M10-hex head screw (ensure lock washer is nearest to head of screw bolt). b. Align the mounting bracket's holes with the ProST's mounting holes as displayed below. (The mounting bracket side that provides a groove for inserting a nut must be aligned with the ProST's mounting hole that is nearest to the ProST's rear panel.) c.
605-0000-707 ProST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev C For wall mounting, rotation is restricted in the horizontal plane only, as shown in the figure below (top view): Pole Mounting Pole mounting allows the ProST to be easily adjusted in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation) planes for antenna alignment. The ProST is mounted using the mounting holes located on the ProST's bottom panel and the supplied (when ordered) pole-mounting brackets.
Mounting To pole mount the ProST: 1. Attach the mounting bracket to the ProST: a. Align the mounting bracket with the ProST's mounting holes so that the mounting bracket's side with the built-in nut is aligned with the ProST's mounting holes furthest from the ProST's front panel, as shown in the figure below. b. Slide an M10-flat washer and M10-spring lock washer onto an M10-hex head screw (ensure spring lock washer is closest to the bolt's head).
605-0000-707 ProST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev C 3. Attach the U-bolt to the pole: b. Attach the second U-bolt as described above. 4. Perform final ProST orientation: a. Place one U-bolt around the pole, and then insert the U-bolt screw side through the two corresponding holes (horizontally parallel) on the clamping bracket. Slide an M8-flat washer and M8-spring lock washer onto each U-bolt screw side (ensure that the flat washer is adjacent to the clamping bracket).
Mounting ProST positioning is obtained in two planes by adjustment of the mounting bracket assembly as shown below: It is important to provide strain relief and drip loop for Cat-5 cables. Create a drip loop and strain relief using cable tie, to tie cable to pole, as displayed in the figure below: SDA-4S The SDA-4S adapters can be mounted either horizontally on a desktop or vertically on a wall.
605-0000-707 ProST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev C Warning: To prevent a fire hazard caused by overheating, do not place the SDA-4S on a carpeted surface where airflow is restricted. Wall Mounting Wall mounting is made possible by the existence of two mounting hooks molded into the SDA-4S's bottom panel, as displayed in the figure below. To wall mount the SDA: 1. 24 On the wall, mark the position of the two mounting hooks. The dimensions of the wallmounting hooks are displayed in the template below.
Mounting 2. 3. Drill holes for each hole that you marked in the step above. Insert wall anchors (supplied) into each of the drilled holes. 4. Insert the 9-inch screws (supplied) into the wall anchors. Ensure at least 2 mm of the screw is exposed to allow insertion into the SDA-4S mounting holes. 5. Hold the SDA-4S with both hands, and align the entrance to the two mounting hooks with the screws. Slide the screws into the mounting hooks, by lowering the SDA-4S onto the screws.
CABLING THE PROST The ProST interfaces with the subscriber's network through the IDU (i.e. typically the SDA-1 Type II, or optionally through the SDA-4S Type II or SDA-4S/VL Type II). The ProST also receives DC power from the IDU.
Cabling The ProST CONNECTING PROST TO SDA-1 The ProST connects to the SDA-1 using a CAT 5 cable with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors on either end. The ProST provides a 15-pin D-type port for interfacing with the SDA-1.
