ABOUT THIS GUIDE Thank you for purchasing Airspan's EasyST 4.9 wireless access device (hereafter referred to as EasyST). The EasyST customer premise equipment (CPE) is part of Airspan'sAS.MAX family of WiMAX-based products. This section provides a preface by discussing the purpose, audience, organization, conventions, and customer support of this guide. Purpose This guide provides a description of the EasyST as well as step-by-step instructions for installing the EasyST.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW EasyST 4.9 (hereafter referred to simply as EasyST) is a revolutionary, self-install, compact, indoor WiMAX subscriber access device. EasyST delivers high-speed Internet services to subscribers' IPenabled devices through its wireless-based interface with WiMAX networks (i.e. ISP's base station). EasyST is designed to work with the AS.MAX Base Station. EasyST implements Intel Corporation’s Pro/Wireless 5116 broadband interface.
605-0000-703 EasyST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev D Supports QoS (based on IP addresses, protocols, applications, DiffServ/TOS, 802.1p) Configuration for Operator Network via integrated Smart Card (SIM) reader -- planned for future Stackable “CD” Style Design for adding plug-in expansion modules for the following interfaces: o o Integrated IEEE 802.
System Overview EasyST Models The EasyST is available in the following optional deployment models: EasyST with clip-on antenna containing four high-gain, integrated flat panel, 90-degree directional antennas, providing 360 degree coverage. EasyST selects the antenna with best RF reception with the BS by using the 6-pin Antenna Controller.
605-0000-703 EasyST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev D Note: EasyST uses the antenna switch to select one of the four 90-degree antennas of the clip-on antenna. EasyST Protocols Stack The figure below displays a block diagram of the EasyST'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 EasyST requires no initial configuration--simply plug and play. Configuration is automatically performed over the air by the BS. The EasyST 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 EasyST's MAC address.
GETTING STARTED Before installing your EasyST, read the following sections to ensure that no EasyST items are missing, minimum computer requirements are fulfilled, and you have the required installation tools. Package Contents The EasyST kit includes the following items: EasyST module with clip-on antenna AC/DC power supply adapter Category 5 Ethernet LAN cable (1.5 meters) Quick Installation Guide Note: Examine the AS.MAX shipping container.

CONNECTING EASYST TO A PC EasyST provides 10/100BaseT (Fast Ethernet) interface with the subscriber's network. The connectivity is performed through the supplied Category 5 Ethernet cable consisting of 8-pin RJ-45 connectors on either end. The EasyST-to-computer cable setup is listed below: Cable: straight-through CAT 5 STP Ethernet cable Connector: 8-pin RJ-45 Connector pinouts (for both ends): Pin Function 1 Tx+ 2 Tx- 3 Rx+ 6 Rx- To connect EasyST to the subscriber's network: 1. 2.
605-0000-703 EasyST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev D 18
CONNECTING EASYST TO POWER EasyST is powered by an AC/DC power supply adapter which supplies the EasyST with 6 VDC and 4 Amperes. The AC/DC adapter is simply plugged into a standard electrical wall outlet (110/240 VAC; 50/60 Hz). The power adapter provides interchangeable prongs (e.g. American vs. European) that can be replaced to suit country electrical standards in which the EasyST is being installed. To view the AC/DC power adapter specifications, see AC/DC Power Adapter Specifications.
605-0000-703 EasyST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev D To connect the EasyST to the power supply: 1. 2. 20 Before plugging the power cord into the electrical wall outlet, plug the AC/DC power adapter's power cable (i.e. DC power jack) into the EasyST's DC power socket. Plug the prongs of the AC/DC power adapter into the electrical wall outlet.
MOUNTING EASYST Warning: The EasyST must be mounted indoors. Warning: To prevent a fire hazard caused by overheating, do not place the EasyST on a carpeted surface where airflow is restricted. EasyST is a self-install indoor unit, requiring no professional technician. EasyST must be mounted indoors in a location that provides: High quality RF reception with the Internet service provider (i.e.
OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE To ensure a reliable, secure, and fast connection with your Internet Service Provider (ISP), you need to place your EasyST in a position that provides the best RF reception with the ISP (i.e. base station). To help you locate the best position, EasyST provides you with a LED indicator that indicates the strength of the RF signal with your ISP. This LED is labeled signal and is located on the EasyST's top panel.
Optimizing Performance The signal LED indicates the strength of the signal by measuring the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). SNR indicates received signal strength relative to background noise. The ratio is usually measured in decibels (dB). The higher the SNR ratio--the better the communication. The table below describes the EasyST signal LED with regards to SNR values: LED signal Color Green Status Average SNR (dB) All LEDs are off Avg. SNR < 5 First left-most LED is on 5 < = Avg.
RESETTING TO DEFAULT SETTINGS A future release of the EasyST will allow you to apply factory default configuration settings to the EasyST. This is performed by pressing the LED button (located below the LED lights on the top panel) continuously for at least 10 seconds.
ATTACHING CLIP-ON ANTENNA Warning: Before attaching the clip-on antenna, ensure that the EasyST is not connected to the power source. Do not connect and disconnect antenna while the power is on. This can cause irreversible damage to the EasyST. The EasyST is supplied with the clip-on antenna already attached to the EasyST. However, in cases where it may have accidentally being removed, you can re-attach it by following the procedure described below.
605-0000-703 EasyST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev D 3. a. b. 26 For customers possessing EasyST models that implement a screw mechanism for securing the antenna to the EasyST, continue with the following steps: Flip the EasyST over so that its rear panel is visible. Insert the M3 25-mm flat-head Philips screw (supplied) into the hole that's located on the rear panel, behind the RJ-45 and DC power connectors, as shown in the figure below.
