1. Packaging Contents

PM 315 CPE POE (Power over Ethernet) & DC power adapter Mounting bracket Ethernet boot cover Gasket Ethernet Cable U-Bolt Kit

2. IP Plan and RF Plan

IP Address: Subnet Mask: Default Gateway: Channel Bandwidth: 5MHz or 10MHz Channel Frequency: As per frequency configured in BS

3. Verification of exact POE for SS

RED GREEN

4. Physical Verification of Power Source

Check for the stable Power Source where the Power Adaptor for the POE would be connected Ideal Power Source: 230V AC

5. Physical Installation Procedure

Mounting of Brackets and Ethernet Cable Installation Steps

Pole Mounting

Position the clamp around the pole (1 - 3 in) in the desired location Install and tighten the clamp bolts enough to secure the clamp to the pole. Tighten these screws only after antenna pointing.

Verification of the Ethernet Cable using Cable Tester

6. Grounding Rules
Proper Grounding is a most essential part of the installation process. Grounding on Base Station is done at Outdoor unit and the POE Properly Grounded Radio: A grounded radio causes the surge to pass directly to ground bypassing the radio

Locate the grounding lug on the CPE at the back panel of the outdoor unit Provide a proper grounding conductor long enough to reach from the Outdoor Unit to the earth ground Crimp one end of a grounding cable to the suitable cable lug

Similarly for Grounded POE: In this case the surge will be picked up by the Cat5 cable and since the POE is grounded the route for the surge is through the POE to ground

Grounding Lug If incase Grounding Point is not available the same needs to be communicated to the user as this could cause damage to the port connecting to the POE. Also ensure the installer puts some proper insulation tape on the grounding LUG

8. AT Trial Deployment Recommendations

a. Subscriber Station should be positioned in line of sight to the base station antenna and between the Inner and Outer coverage radios of the Base Station antenna

b. If the Subscriber station is too close to the Base Station, appropriate antenna downtilt needs to apply. Following table can be referred to adjust the position of the subscriber station. The values represent a first order approximation and should only be used as guidance.

c. Subscriber station should be pole mounted on a permanent fixture so that the subscriber station antenna direction does not change due to wind or external factors. d. It is recommended not to carry a subscriber station in hand during establishing a link or during recording critical AT data.

9. Configurations in SS
SS Installation Procedure through WebGui

Log in to the Configurator

Your Subscriber Unit provides a Web-based Configuration for performing advanced configuration activities. After you install your Subscriber Unit, use the following procedure to launch the Configuration. 1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port labeled PC on the PoE adapter to a network-interface card (NIC) in a PC or network hub. Then connect the other Ethernet port on the PoE adapter to the Subscriber Unit. 2. Start your Web browser and point it to one of the following default IP addresses: http://192.168.0.1. The Login page in Figure 3 appears, with your cursor in the User name field. 3. Enter the default username admin and default case-sensitive password default in the appropriate fields. 4. Click the OK button to log in. The Information Page appears. This read-only page displays network, wireless and device information about your installation.

IP Address 192.168.0.55 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Gateway Not Required

Specify Wireless Settings

After logging in to the Configuration, use the following procedure to set the Subscriber Units wireless settings. In the left pane, under WiMAX Setup, click Wireless. The Wireless Settings page appears. Set the three groups of parameters as indicated in Table below. These values must match the ones you entered for the Pico Base Station. Click the Apply button. A page tells you that your configuration changes have been saved, but will not be applied until you reboot the Subscriber Unit. Do not reboot the Subscriber Unit at this time. Instead, proceed to Specify Network Setup Settings.

10. Provisioning Check of SS in EMS

SS needs to be provisioned in the EMS by the NOC team. After the discovery of the SS in the Airsync EMS and after successful registration of SS in the EMS SS would be able to communicate with the Backhaul Network

11. RF Connectivity Check

SS has the LED Support to check the Link Status
RSSI -96dBm -95dBm RSSI -86 dBm -85dBm RSSI -76 dBm -75dBm RSSI -61 dBm ON = Connection to LAN established BLINKING = Connection in use OFF= No LAN Connection ON = Connection to BS Established OFF= No Connection to BS ON = CPE is fully operational BLINKING = CPE is booting or shutting down Status Radio 1 2 3 4 LAN

12. Basic commands to check the connectivity through CLI interface

SSH or Telnet the IP address of SS using Putty or X-Terminal Basic Commands Reboot Ifconfig Cat/etc/version |grep firmware_name Sf

[reboot CPE] [Check IP & MAC addresses] [Check CPE firmware version [Check Service flow]

Check Logs dmesg cat/var/log.message cat/tmp/wavesat/wimax.log

[kernel log] [CPE event log] [Wireless Log]

13. Procedure for throughput test

JPERF can be downloaded from the Software FTP Site. Install JPerf on both the PC. Connect one PC behind the Base-Station and other behind the CPE. First do the connectivity check between this PC and then run Server on PC behind BS and Jperf Client on the PC connected to CPE.
