0 Installing the IDR This chapter describes the installation of the WipLL Indoor Data Radio (IDR), which is installed at the base station.
Installing the IDR Hardware Installation Guide 10.1. Overview The IDR device is an optional WipLL device that combines the functionality of the SPR and SDA devices. The IDR has a built-in antenna that provides an interface for transmission with the base station. In addition, the IDR provides an interface for 10Base-T Ethernet with the subscriber's network. However, unlike the SDA, a separate power supply unit (power adapter) powers the IDR.
Hardw are Installation Guide Installing the IDR Warning: To avoid electrical or fire hazard, ensure that all connections to the IDR are performed prior to connecting the power supply. Note: The digital portion of the transceiver has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

Position the IDR at the desired angle. 3. Re-tighten the 2 off socket screws on the tilt arm. 10-12 Airspan Networks Ltd.
Hardw are Installation Guide Installing the IDR 10.3.2.3. Wall Mounting Warning: Prior to drilling holes in a wall ensure that there are no hidden services such as electricity cables or water pipes. A stop must be used on the power drill to ensure that bored holes do not exceed 35 mm. To mount the IDR on a wall: 1. Loosen the 2-off M4 socket head screws on the mounting bracket tilt-arm and remove the wall hanger. 2. Offer up the wall hanger to the wall and scribe through the mounting hole locations. 3.
Installing the IDR Hardware Installation Guide 10.4. Connecting a Third-Party External Antenna The IDR provides a TNC-type connector for connecting a third-party antenna to the IDR. This antenna can be placed on the subscriber’s windowsill to provide better RF signal reception with the BSR. Note: Airspan supplies unterminated cables for N-type connectors. Therefore, refer to the cable crimping procedures for N-type connectors detailed in Appendix B, “Cable Crimping".
Hardw are Installation Guide Installing the IDR Figure 10-11: Connecting a third-party antenna Warnings: 1) It is the responsibility of the person installing the WipLL system to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), that only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204.
