MOUNTING THE BASE STATION RADIO (BSR) Mounting the MicroMAX-SOC The MicroMAX-SOC BSR can be pole-mounted or wall-mounted (optional). Pole mounting allows the BSR to be easily adjusted in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation) planes for antenna alignment. For either mounting method, the MicroMAX-SOC provides mounting holes (displayed in the figure below), molded into its back panel for attaching the mounting brackets.
Mounting the Base Station Radio (BSR) To pole mount the MicroMAX-SOC BSR: 1. Attach the mounting bracket to the MicroMAX-SOC: a. Align the mounting bracket with the MicroMAX-SOC's mounting holes so that the mounting bracket's side with the built-in nut is aligned with the BSR's mounting holes furthest from the MicroMAX-SOC's bottom panel, as shown in the figure below. b.
605-0000-742_MicroMAX-SOC_Installation_Rev_D 18 2. Attach the clamping bracket to the mounting bracket: a. Slide an M6-spring lock washer onto an M6-hex head screw. Align the mounting bracket's and clamping bracket's pivot holes, such that the clamping bracket is aligned to the inside of the mounting bracket. From the external side of the mounting bracket, insert the M6-hex head screw into the pivot holes and then fasten, but not tightly. (The clamping bracket provides a built-in nut.) b.
Mounting the Base Station Radio (BSR) 3. Attach the U-bolt to the pole: 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). Fasten each U-bolt side with the two M8-hex nuts. b. Attach the second U-bolt as described above. 4.
605-0000-742_MicroMAX-SOC_Installation_Rev_D b. Adjust the horizontal position of the MicroMAX-SOC by rotating it about the pole, and then tightening the nuts of the U-bolts. Note: A thread-locking compound must be used to prevent the bolts from working loose. MicroMAX-SOC 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.
Mounting the Base Station Radio (BSR) Wall-Mounting the BSR (Optional) Note: The standard BSR kit provides pole-mounting brackets. If you want to wall-mount the MicroMAX-SOC BSR contact your Airspan distributor for pricing and ordering of wallmounting brackets. Note: A minimum of 3-meter separation is required between mounted MicroMAX-SOC's and existing customer radio equipment when transmitting on different sectors (see figure below).
605-0000-742_MicroMAX-SOC_Installation_Rev_D 2. 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. Align the mounting bracket's four holes with the wall anchors, and then insert a screw (not supplied) through the mounting bracket holes into each wall anchor, and then tighten. Note: Airspan does not provide screws for attaching the mounting bracket to the wall.
Mounting the Base Station Radio (BSR) 5. Attach the MicroMAX-SOC 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 MicroMAX-SOC's mounting holes as displayed below.
605-0000-742_MicroMAX-SOC_Installation_Rev_D 6. Adjust the horizontal positioning of the MicroMAX-SOC (see "Web-Based Management" for MicroMAX-SOC antenna alignment using RSS measurements), and then tighten the two M10-hex head screws with the M10 hex nuts. Note: A third-party thread-locking compound must be applied to the M10-hex head screws to prevent the bolts from working loose. Note: For wall mounting, rotation is restricted in the horizontal plane only.
Mounting the Base Station Radio (BSR) To wall mount the SDA-4S: 1. On the wall, mark the position of the two mounting hooks. The dimensions of the wallmounting hooks are displayed in the template below. 2. Drill holes for each hole that you marked in the step above. 3. 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.
CABLING THE BSR Connecting the BSR to the SDA-4S he SDA-4S provides -48 VDC power to the BSR as well as the Fast Ethernet interface between the BSR and the provider's backhaul network. The outdoor Base Station Radio and Modem are powered over a CAT5e Cable by the SDA-4S Type II IDU in the minimum configuration. For larger configurations N* SDA-4Ss and N* BSRs are required. The BSR interfaces with the subscriber's Ethernet network through the SDA-4S.
Cabling the BSR wires are paired and twisted according to pin functions listed in the table above (e.g. Rx+ with Rx-). Note: The maximum CAT 5 cable length for ODU/IDU connectivity is 100 meters. To connect the BSR to the SDA-4S: 1. Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at one end of the CAT 5e cable, to the BSR's 15-pin D-type port labeled DATA&PWR&SYNC. 2. Connect the 15-pin D-type male connector, at the other end of the CAT 5e cable, to the SDA-4S's 15-pin D-type port.
605-0000-742_MicroMAX-SOC_Installation_Rev_D CONNECTING THE SDA-4S TO THE POWER SUPPLY Connecting the SDA-4S Type II The SDA-4S adapters are plugged into a standard electrical wall outlet (110/240 VAC) using an AC power cord. The appropriate AC power cord is supplied according to the country of use The cable setup between the SDA-4S and power outlet includes the following: Connector: AC IEC 60320 type (female) Plug: The appropriate plug type is supplied according to the country of use Cable: 3x1.
Cabling the BSR 4. Verify that your SDA-4S is on and receiving power by checking that the LED labeled POWER is lit (see SDA-4S LED description). Connecting SDA-4S to Ethernet Network The MicroMAX-SOC typically interfaces with the subscriber's network/computer using the SDA-4S Type II which provides four (10/100BaseT) LAN ports for interfacing with the subscriber's LAN network.
605-0000-742_MicroMAX-SOC_Installation_Rev_D Deployment of MicroMAX-SOC in geographical areas that frequently experience severe lightning storms The lightning and surge protector protects the ODU-to-IDU CAT 5e cable's six used wires (two -48 VDC wires and four Ethernet Tx and Rx wires) from any electrical surges due to lighting strikes. The protector is installed outdoors on the CAT 5e cable that connects between the MicroMAX-SOC and the SDA-4S Type II.
Cabling the BSR mounting holes). The unit may be mounted/grounded on a nearby plate or bulkhead panel that is bonded to an earth-ground system. 6. Attach the protector's lid by using the four M4 x 20-mm screws. Ensure that the neoprene gasket on the lid is not loose or out of the groove. 7. Secure the CAT 5e cable to the grommet by fastening the gland nut. The figure below illustrates the connectivity of the lightning and surge protector.

Cabling the BSR CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL ANTENNA Connecting Third Party External Antenna The MicroMAX-SOC BSR model without a built-in antenna provides an N-type port for connecting a third-party external antenna. The addition of an external antenna allows greater RF sector coverage than the standard MicroMAX-SOC BSR built-in antenna model. Warning: Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the MicroMAX-SOC is not connected to the power source.
