Introduction 1. INTRODUCTION This manual describes installation guidelines for BreezeACCESS MMDS SU-A and SU-E series of Subscriber Units. The BreezeACCESS IP Broadband Wireless Local Loop (WLL) system allows access service providers to provide high-speed IP connectivity services to their subscribers. To effectively support IP-based services BreezeACCESS systems employ wireless packet data switching technology.

Basic Installation 2.4 Guidelines for Selection of Equipment Locations Select appropriate locations for the Outdoor unit and for the Indoor unit using the following guidelines. SU-RA • The SU-RA Outdoor unit should be mounted on a pole and should be installed on a rooftop or a side-wall where a direct line of sight with the Base Station antenna can be established. The higher the unit, the better the achievable link quality.
Basic Installation Table 1: IF Cables Cable Type Maximum cable Length (m) • RG 58 RG 213 LMR 240 LMR 400 30 100 65 150 The Indoor unit should be installed in as close as possible to the building’s entry point of the IF cable. The location of the Indoor unit should also take into account the need to connect it to a power mains outlet and to the CPE.
Basic Installation 2.5 Installing the Outdoor Unit 2.5.1 Pole 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 special 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).

Basic Installation Figure 2-5. SU-RE 3” Inch 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 fasteining of the screws with a screwdriver.
Basic Installation 2.5.2 Connecting the Antenna Cable (SU-RE) Connect an RF cable between the ANT connector (located on the top panel of the SU-RE unit) 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 SU-RA/RE Outdoor unit, shown in Figure 2-6.

Basic Installation 2.6 Installing the SU-NI Indoor Unit 1. Place the SU-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 SU-PS power cord to the DC In jack (marked DC-12V) located on the rear panel of the Indoor unit (shown in Figure 2-7). 3.
Configuring System Parameters 3. CONFIGURING SYSTEM PARAMETERS After completing the installation process, as described in the preceding section, proceed with the configuration of the basic system parameters. This section covers the configuration of basic installation parameters. Refer to the Administration Manual for information related to other parameters. Note: Optionally, the product can be configured using Telnet over the Ethernet port, after setting IP address.

Note: Should you make any mistakes during configuration or encounter any problems associated with system configuration parameters, you may configure the unit back to the factory defaults, as follows: Type 2 in the Unit Control menu to access the Set Factory Defaults menu.
Aligning the Antenna 4. ALIGNING THE ANTENNA Note: Antenna alignment using the RSSI bar display is possible only after the Access Unit you wish to associate with is operational and the ESSID, Hopping Band and Frequency Offset parameters were properly configured. Otherwise the unit will not be able to synchronize and associate with the Access Unit. As the RSSI measurement is performed on received frames, its results are meaningless as long as the unit is not associated with an AU. 1.
Verifying Correct Operation of the Outdoor Unit 5. VERIFYING CORRECT OPERATION OF THE OUTDOOR UNIT To verify correct operation, view the LED indicators located on the bottom panel of the Outdoor unit as shown in Figure 2-6 on page 10. The following table lists the various LED states.
RSSI Measurement and Maximum Data Rate Configuration 6. RSSI MEASUREMENT AND MAXIMUM DATA RATE CONFIGURATION 6.1 Performing the RSSI Measurement The Average RSSI Continuous Display test allows a continuously updated display of the average Received Signal Strength Indication. As the test measures only the desired signal of properly received frames, it is a good indication to the quality of the received signal.
RSSI Measurement and Maximum Data Rate Configuration 6.2 Configuring The Maximum Data Rate 5. Use the following table to determine the recommended Maximum Data Rate. Table 3: RSSI vs. Maximum Data Rate RSSI Maximum Data Rate Higher than 97 3 Mbps From 86 to 97 2Mbps Lower than 86* 1 Mbps * If the RSSI is lower than 80 units the link quality is too low and should be improved through installing the antenna in a different and/or a higher location. 2.
Verifying Correct Operation 7. VERIFYING CORRECT OPERATION 7.1 General After completing the installation as described above, the system starts operation. To verify correct operation, view the LED indicators located on the front panel of the SU-NI Indoor unit as shown in Figure 2-8 on page 11. Table 4 lists the various LED states.

Appendix A APPENDIX A. USING TELNET Use the following procedure to connect to BreezeACCESS MMDS units via a Telnet session. 1. Connect the PC to the Ethernet port of the unit (or the hub to which the unit is connected) using a straight Ethernet cable. If you connect the PC directly to a unit that is normally connected to a hub, use a crossed Ethernet cable. You may also connect the PC to any Ethernet port on the network and communicate with the unit to be managed via the wired or wireless media. 2.
