Introduction 1. INTRODUCTION This manual describes installation guidelines for BreezeACCESS MMDS base station equipment, including the stand-alone AU-E/A-NI-MMDS Access Units and the modular AU-E/A-BS-MMDS Units with the BS-SH rack mounted shelf. The BreezeACCESS IP Broadband Wireless Local Loop (WLL) system allows access service providers to provide high-speed IP connectivity services to their subscribers.
Basic Installation 2. BASIC INSTALLATION 2.1 Packing List – Modular Shelf Equipment 2.1.1 BS-SH Base Station Shelf • BS-SH shelf (with blank panels) • Rubber legs for optional desktop installation Note: Unless ordered otherwise, each BS-SH will be shipped with one BS-PS power supply installed. 2.1.
Basic Installation 2.2 Packing List – Stand-alone AU-A/E-NI Access Unit • AU-NI indoor unit • Outdoor unit: ⇒ AU-RA with integral antenna or ⇒ AU-RE with a connector to an external antenna (not included) • AU-PS power supply with a mains power cord • Pole mounting kit for the Outdoor unit (with two brackets, four sets of screws, nuts and washers) • Wall mounting kit for the AU-NI unit 2.
Basic Installation • The AU-RE outdoor unit should be installed as near as possible to its antenna. Note: • The distance between any two antennas should be greater than 40 cm. The outdoor unit is connected to the indoor unit by means of a coaxial IF cable carrying signals, controls and power. The IF frequency is 440 MHz. The maximum allowed attenuation of the IF cable is 15dB and its maximum allowed DC resistance (the sum of the DC resistance of the inner and outer conductors) is 1.5 ohm.
Basic Installation Note: Outdoor 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.
Basic Installation 2.5 Installing the Outdoor Radio Unit 2.5.1 Mounting the Outdoor Unit The outdoor unit can be secured to the pole using one of the following options: • Special brackets and open-ended screws (supplied with each unit). There are two pairs of screw holes, allowing use of the brackets with various pole widths. • U-bolts - size A (inner installation holes, up to 2" pole). • U-bolt - size B (outside installation holes, up to 3" pole). • Metal bands (9/16” wide, minimum 12” long).
Basic Installation Figure 2-2. AU-RE 3" Pole Mounting Installation Using the Supplied Brackets Note: When inserting the open-ended screws, make sure to insert them with the grooves pointing outwards; these grooves are intended to allow fastening of the screws with a screwdriver.
Basic Installation 2.5.2 Connecting the Antenna Cable (AU-RE) Connect an RF cable between the ANT connector (located on the top panel of the unit, marked ANT) and the antenna. 2.5.3 Connecting the Ground and IF Cables The Ground terminal (marked and the IF cable connector (marked IF) are located on the bottom panel of the Outdoor unit, shown in Figure 2-3.

Basic Installation The BS-AU front panel LEDs are described in Table 2-2.
Basic Installation 2.6.3 The BS-PS The BS-PS provides -48VDC to all the modules installed in the BS-SH rack. The BS-PS front panel is shown in Figure 2-6. B S -P S PW R 5V 12V ON ON OFF -48V Figure 2-6. BS-PS Front Panel The BS-AU provides a single connector for connecting the -48VDC power source to the module. The color codes of the cable wires are: black red -48VDC + (Return) The switch turns the mains power to the power supply ON and OFF.
Basic Installation 2.6.4 Shelf and Modules Installation Procedure 1. Install the BS-SH rack in a 19” cabinet (or place on an appropriate shelf/table). When mounted the BS-SH on a desktop, screw on the rubber legs shipped with unit. 2. Carefully insert the BS-PS Power Supply and the BS-AU modules into their intended slots and push firmly until they are securely locked; refer to Section 2.6.1 for a description of the slot assignments. Close the captive screws attached to each module.
Basic Installation 2.7 Installing the AU-NI Indoor Unit 1. Place the AU-NI unit in an appropriate location on a shelf or a table. The unit can be wall mounted using the installation materials provided with the unit. Use a 6mm (1/4”) drill and the supplied template plate for easy and accurate marking of the holes. 2. Connect the AU -PS power cord to the DC In jack (marked DC-12V) located on the rear panel of the Indoor unit (shown in Figure 2-6). 3.
