Introduction 1. INTRODUCTION This manual describes installation guidelines for BreezeACCESS II SU-R Subscriber Units. The BreezeACCESS Broadband Wireless Access system allows access service providers to provide high-speed IP connectivity services to their subscribers. To support IP-based services effectively BreezeACCESS systems employ wireless packet data switching technology.
Basic Installation 2. BASIC INSTALLATION 2.1 Packing List The SU-R units are shipped with the following units and accessories. The exact packing list varies depending on system configuration and ordered equipment.
Basic Installation 2.3 Installation Overview Standard installation involves the following steps: 1. Verify that all components of the packing list, described in Section 2.1, are intact and verify availability of the required items listed in Section 2.2. 2. Install the unit and antenna in optimal locations as described in Sections 2.4 and 2.5 and in the instructions supplied with the antenna.
Basic Installation • Keep the units well away from sources of heat, such as radiators, air-conditioners, etc. 2.4.2 Location of the Antenna • Any physical object in the path between two units can cause signal attenuation. Common obstructions are buildings and trees. If a unit’s antenna is installed indoors, the walls and/or windows between the two sites are physical obstructions.
Basic Installation extended upward vertically in relation to the floor to achieve vertical polarization. For the detached UNI-7 antenna (A7 model) follow the instructions included with the antenna. 2.5 Wall Mounting the Unit Note: To avoid drilling unnecessary holes, it is recommended to verify connectivity with the base station prior to drilling holes in the locations intended for the SU-R unit and/or the indoor antenna.
Basic Installation 3. Use a straight Ethernet 10BaseT cable to connect the Ethernet port (marked ETH) to a PC or to a hub’s uplink port. Use a crossed cable to connect to a hub. 4. For units with voice support, use the standard cable connected to the telephone set to connect the telephone to the telephone port (marked TEL).
Configuring System Parameters 3. CONFIGURING SYSTEM PARAMETERS After completing the installation process, as described in the preceding sections of this manual, proceed with configuration of the basic system parameters. This manual 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.
Configuring System Parameters BreezeACCESS/SU-R Official Release Version – 3.0.2 Release Date: Mon Oct 23 21:05:08 2000 Software Version No. Main Menu ===================== 1 – Info Screens 2 – Unit Control 3 – Basic Configuration 4 – Site Survey 5 – Advanced Configuration >>> Figure 3-1. Main Menu The appearance of the displayed Main Menu varies in accordance with the access level. • For users with read only access rights, only the Info Screens option is displayed.
Configuring System Parameters Operate the monitor program as follows: • Type an option number to open/activate the option. You may need to press the Enter key in some cases. • Press the Esc key to exit a menu or an option. • You can log-out and exit the monitor program from the Main Menu by simultaneously pressing the Ctrl and X keys. The session is terminated automatically, after a specific time of inactivity determined by the Log-out Timer. The default value for the Log-out Timer is 5 minutes.
Configuring System Parameters 1. From the main menu, type 3 to access the Basic Configuration menu. 2. From the Basic Configuration menu, type 4 to access the ESSID selection screen. Enter the required ESSID. 3. Type D to access the DHCP Client menu. Type 1 to access the DHCP Options menu and select the required option. If the selected option was other than Disable, type 2 to access the Access to DHCP menu and select the required option.. If the DHCP Only option was selected, go to step 7.
Configuring System Parameters 3.3 Reset Unit 1. From the main menu, type 2 to access the Unit Control menu. 2. Type 1 to access the Reset Unit menu. Type 1 to reset the unit so that new configuration settings are applied. 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 (A7 model) 4. ALIGNING THE ANTENNA (A7 MODEL) When using high gain antennas with a narrow beam width, an alignment procedure is necessary in order to optimize the quality of the link with the Access Unit. For a Subscriber Unit with a directional antenna, you can either use the LED indicators on the front panel of the unit or view the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) using the monitor program. In most installations, alignment using the LEDs is sufficient.
Aligning the Antenna (A7 model) 2. From the main menu, type 4 to access the Site Survey menu. Type 4 to start the Continuous Link Quality Display. Each line in the display includes the number of frames that were received since the last measurement (total Rx) and the average RSSI for these frames. 3. Rotate the antenna left and/or right (or tilt it upward/downward) until you reach the point of maximum RSSI reading.
Maximum Data Rate Configuration 5. MAXIMUM DATA RATE CONFIGURATION 1. If the average RSSI reading using the Continuous Link Quality Display (see Section 4.1) is lower than 65, the unit should be configured in accordance with the following table: RSSI Recommended Maximum Data Rate RSSI > 65 3Mbps 53 < RSSI < 65 2Mbps RSSI < 53 1Mbps 2. From the main menu, type 3 to access the Basic Configuration menu. Type 5 to access the Maximum Data Rate menu.
Verifying Proper Operation 6. VERIFYING PROPER OPERATION 6.1 Checking the LEDs After completing the installation, the system starts operation. To verify proper operation, view the LEDs located on the front panel of the unit. Table 6-1 lists the various LED states. Table 6-1. SU LEDs Name POWER Description Power supply H, M, L Quality of received RF signal Functionality On – After successful power up Off – Power off Very low quality reception or not synchronized with Access Unit.
Verifying Proper Operation 6.3 Verifying Data Connectivity From the user’s PC or from a portable PC connected to the unit, ping the Access Terminal, or try to connect to the Internet. 6.4 Verifying Telephone Connectivity (units with voice support) To verify correct operation of the telephone, a test telephone with the default telephony parameters and a known IP address should be connected to the system (the location of the test telephone is determined by the system administrator).

Appendix A. Using Telnet Appendix A. Using Telnet Use the following procedure to connect to BreezeACCESS 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.
Appendix A. Using Telnet 6. Set the Port field to Telnet (this is the default). 7. Set the Terminal Type to VT100 (this is the default). If the VT100 option in not available, do the following. Select Terminal-Preferences from the Telnet window menu and click the VT100/ANSI radio button (as shown below). 8. Click in the Connect dialog box. The Select Access Level of the Monitor program should be displayed. To exit the Telnet session, choose Disconnect from the Connect menu.
Appendix B. Basic Parameters Appendix B: Basic Parameters • IP Address – Displays the current IP address of the unit and allows entry of a new IP address (4 x 3 digit octets, separated by dots). The default IP Address is 010.000.000.001. • Subnet Mask – Displays the current subnet mask of the unit and allows entry of a new subnet mask (4 x 3 digit octets, separated by dots). The default mask is 255.000.000.000.
Appendix B. Basic Parameters Note: • The ESSID string is case-sensitive. Maximum Data Rate – Displays the current maximum data rate, and allows entry of a new value for the maximum data rate. BreezeACCESS units operate at 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps or 3 Mbps. Under certain conditions (compatibility reasons or range/speed trade-off), you may decide to limit the use of higher rates.
Appendix B. Basic Parameters The default selection is Use Antenna No. 1 for SU-R-A7 units where a single antenna is connected to antenna port 1. For SU-R-A units with two omni antennas select Use Two Antennas.
