Chapter 2 - Installation 2.6.4 BS-AU Network Interface Module Figure 2-22 shows the front panel of the BS-AU Access Unit Network Interface module. Figure 2-22: BS-AU Front Panel The BS-AU provides the following interfaces: 10/100 BaseT: A 10/100BaseT Ethernet connector for connecting the BS-AU to the network. A straight Ethernet cable should be used to connect the module to a hub, router or switch. RADIO: A 10/100BaseT Ethernet connector for connecting the BS-AU to an AU-ODU outdoor unit.
Installing the Modular Base Station Equipment 2.6.5 Installing the BS-SH Chassis and Modules This section describes how to install the power supply and Access Unit network interface modules in the Base Station chassis. To install the BS SH chassis and modules: 1 Install the BS-SH chassis in a 19” cabinet. To prevent over-heating, leave a free space of at least 1U between the upper/lower covers of the BS-SH chassis and other units in the cabinet.
Chapter 2 - Installation OVERTEMP alarm indicator is off. Refer to Table 2-4 for a description of these LEDs. 11 Configure the basic parameters in all BS-AU modules as described in section 3.1. 12 Connect the 10/100 BaseT LAN connector(s) to the network. The cable connection should be straight Ethernet if connecting the indoor unit to a hub/switch and a crossed cable if connecting it directly to a PC Network Interface Card (NIC).

Chapter 3 - Commissioning 3.1 Configuring Basic Parameters After completing the installation process, as described in the preceding chapter, the basic parameters must be configured to ensure that the unit operates correctly. After the basic parameters have been configured, additional parameters can be remotely configured via the Ethernet port or the wireless link using Telnet or SNMP management, or by loading a configuration file. Refer to section 4.

Using the Optional Y-cable (New SU-A-ODU) 3.2 Using the Optional Y-cable (New SU-A-ODU) A special Y-cable, available from Alvarion, enables to connect a a portable PC directly to the IDU COM port of the SU-A-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.
Chapter 3 - Commissioning 3.3 Aligning the Subscriber Unit Antenna NOTE This antenna alignment process described in this section is applicable to both the SU-A-ODU and the SU-I antenna, unless stated otherwise. The SNR bar display is located on the bottom panel of the SU-A-ODU/front panel of the SU-I indoor unit. The ten LEDs indicate the quality of the received signal. The higher the number of green LEDs indicating On, the higher the quality of the received signal.
Aligning the Subscriber Unit Antenna NOTE 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. 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°. To guarantee a safety margin from the saturation level (received signal of –40 dBm at the antenna port), the SNR should not be higher than 50 dB.
Chapter 3 - Commissioning 3.4 Configuring the Subscriber Unit’s Maximum Modulation Level This section describes how to configure the maximum modulation level for Subscriber Units. NOTE If the unit is associated with the AU, then the final configuration of the Maximum Modulation Level parameter may be performed remotely, for example, from the site of the AU or from another site.
Configuring the Subscriber Unit’s Maximum Modulation Level Table 3-2: Recommended Maximum Modulation Level* SNR Maximum Modulation Level SNR > 23 dB 8 21 dB < SNR < 23 dB 7 16 dB < SNR < 21 dB 6 13 dB < SNR < 16 dB 5 10 dB < SNR < 13 dB 4 8 dB < SNR < 10 dB 3 7 dB < SNR < 8 dB 2 6 dB < SNR < 7 dB 1 * The maximum supported value depends on the unit’s HW revision and on the Max Modulation Level according to the Sub-Band.
