1 Introduction to the MA-860 System This chapter provides a description of the MA-860 WLAN solution, architecture, installation configuration, operation and required commissioning procedures. 1.1 About MobileAccess MA-860 Figure 1-1. MobileAccess MA-860 The MA-860 WLAN solution is part of the MobileAccess third generation family of products for Wireless LAN infrastructure.
PAGE 14
Introduction to the MA-860 System • • • o Auto-discovery of WCE, WiFi Coverage Expander units o The WCE is supplied via a low voltage “power over coax” technology to eliminate any additional wiring or incurred costs of installation. Scalable: Additional APs connected as needed to the MA-860 o Support for four 802.
PAGE 15
Introduction to the MA-860 System 1.2 System Architecture The MA-860 system consists of the following main functional modules: • MA-860 WLAN module – provides support for up to four 802.11a and 802.11b/g access point radios in a 1:1 relationship between the access point connector port(s) and antenna port. Support remote Web based management and configuration through any standard supported HTTP web browser.
PAGE 16
Introduction to the MA-860 System 1.3 Distribution of Services in the MA-860 The MobileAccess 860 WLAN solution offers the capability of distributing any array of MobileAccess supported RF spectrums/technologies: Wi-Fi, Cellular, Public Safety, and/or WMTS services via the same antenna infrastructure. The 802.11a/b/g signals from each AP port are directly connected and distributed to the corresponding antenna port along with any additional mobile services connected to the mobile services ports.
PAGE 17
Introduction to the MA-860 System 1.4 Installation Configurations MA-860 can be installed either as standalone or integrated with other MobileAccess systems: • Standalone – provides coverage for 802.
PAGE 18
Introduction to the MA-860 System 1.4.2 Converged with MA 1000 RHU Services The MA-860 can be installed as an add-on unit to a MA 1000 RHU. In this type of installation, the MA 1000 RHU services are routed to the MA-860 inputs where they are integrated with the MA-860 Wi-Fi data services and routed to the MA-860 antenna ports for distribution over a single coax broadband antenna infrastructure.
PAGE 19
Introduction to the MA-860 System 1.4.3 Add-on to MA 2000 System The MA-860 can be installed as an (external) add-on unit to the MA 2000 system. In this type of installation, the combined MA 2000 services are routed to the MA-860 inputs where they are integrated with the MA-860 Wi-Fi data services and, through the MA-860 antenna connections, distributed through the same coax broadband antenna infrastructure. Figure 1-6.
PAGE 20
Introduction to the MA-860 System 1.5 Provisioning and Management MA-860 supports several interfaces for managing the MobileAccess WLAN solution – Remote, local, and 3rd party application support. • Web Based Management – MobileAccess has integrated a standards based HTTP GUI interface within the 860 WLAN module for remote configuration, calibration, and system provisioning. The MobileAccess supports the following versions or later web browsers: Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7.0 and Firefox 2.0.0.

2 Element Descriptions This chapter describes the MA-860 WLAN module and WCE unit system elements and includes detailed information on the elements’ interfaces. The following modules are described: 2.1 • MA-860 WLAN Module • WCE - WiFi Coverage Expander MA-860 WLAN Module The MA-860 WLAN Module performs the following operations: • Passively distributes the WiFi Radio Frequencies for up to four 802.11a/b/g Access Points in a 1:1 relationship between Access Point Port(s) and antenna port..

Rear Panel Ports Description 802.11b/g APs Four APs 802.11b/g input connections.
PAGE 25
Element Descriptions 2.2 WCE 2.2.1 About WCE Each WCE was designed to compensate for up to 250 feet cable loss in both frequency bands for a single antenna. This is done by amplifying each supported 802.11 RF band independently to accurately capture the attenuation for both bands. This approach conforms to the new WLAN light-weight access point standards by providing uniform 802.11a/b/g coverage radius regardless of coax cable length of up to 250 feet.
PAGE 26
Element Descriptions 2.2.2 WCE Mounting Support, Connections, and LEDs The WCE provides the following Mounting Support Options, connection Ports, and LED indicators Mounting Support and Interface Ports The following table describes the rear panel ports. Mounting/Ports Description N-Type Male Used to connect the WCE directly to the coax run from the IDF or Telecom closet as indicated by the “To RHU” label.

Infrastructure Preparation 3 Infrastructure Preparation This chapter contains information on the cabling and power requirements for the MA-860 system, as well as the access points that can be used. 3.1 Installation Requirements The infrastructure preparation consists of two main phases: 1. Floor Planning: Planning the distribution of the antennas on each floor to provide the required coverage.
PAGE 28
Infrastructure Preparation 3.2.2 RF Rules • Use coax ½”, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type, (6-7dB for 1Ghz, 11dB for 2Ghz) for connecting to RHU and RHU ports. • Use coax RG223, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type for RF connections from the BUs to the BTS/RBS and to the RIU.
