P R E L I M I N A RY CH A P T E R 1 Safety Caution This document provides a Cisco-qualified BWX Mobile WiMAX Installation & Commissioning Technician or Field Engineer with instructions to properly install a BWX 8415 Basestation (BS). Installations performed by non-Cisco-qualified specialists will void warranties and could damage equipment and/or cause bodily injury. To optimize safety and expedite installation and service, read this document thoroughly.
Chapter 1 Safety Warnings P R E L I M I N A RY Warning This is the symbol for Electro-magnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Telecom non-safety related warnings. Warning This equipment must be externally grounded using the supplied ground wire before power is applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Chapter 1 Safety Information to User P R E L I M I N A RY Warning The BS is a Radio Frequency transmitter. It is required to comply with FCC and local country RF exposure requirements for transmitting devices. A minimum separation distance of 2 meter or more must be maintained between the antenna and all persons during device operations to ensure compliance with the FCC’s and the local country’s rules for Radio Frequency Exposure.
Chapter 1 Safety Safety Information P R E L I M I N A RY Caution Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030 Warning Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards. Statement 1033 Warning When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.
Chapter 1 Safety Safety Information P R E L I M I N A RY c. The external DC power source, if current limited, shall have the limit set-point configured higher than the BS Chassis breaker rating. (i.e. - If the power source is current limited to 10 amps and the BS circuit breaker is a 15 amp breaker, it will never trip because the power supply is limiting the current to 10 amps.) d. The external supply "Return" and the BS chassis shall be connected to a common Earth ground.

P R E L I M I N A RY CH A P T E R 3 Overview 3.1 Scope of this Guide This document was created specifically for the BWX 8415 Basestation (BS), which allows service providers to service users with Mobile WiMAX technology. WiMAX is a standards-based, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access (OFDMA) technology. The procedures in this document are non-frequency specific. This guide serves as the instructions for all BWX 8415 BS installations. 3.

Chapter 3 Overview 3.5 Beamforming P R E L I M I N A RY 3.5 Beamforming Cisco BWX 8415 Basestation antennas contain eight elements (Figure 3-2), with a gain of 16 dBi. Their combined effect is to concentrate the downlink data into a beam with maximum gain at the location of each target SS (Figure 3-3). Similarly, in the uplink the data transmitted by each SS is received by the eight antenna elements with different phases due to the differences in propagation distance from an SS to each antenna element.
