4 Installing the BSR This chapter describes the installation of the WipLL Base Station Radio (BSR), which is installed at the base station.
Installing the BSR Hardware Installation Guide 4.1. Overview The BSR is the center of the WipLL system. The BSR provides last-mile wireless connectivity by connecting the provider’s backhaul network to the subscriber’s wireless unit (Subscriber Premises Radio [SPR]). In addition, the BSR is responsible for synchronizing the WipLL network (i.e., synchronizing SPRs/IDRs).
Hardw are Installation Guide Installing the BSR 4.2. Physical Dimensions and Basic Design The BSR is encased in a chassis providing access to the BSR’s communication port on the front panel (see Figure 4-1). The BSR’s bottom panel provides holes for mounting the BSR to, for example, a pole or wall (see Figure 4-11).
Installing the BSR Hardware Installation Guide 4.3. Cable Installation Guidelines This section defines the procedures to be adhered to when installing data cables at the base station. Warning: Pre-terminated cables should be fitted with protective poly bags during cable installation processes. Metal cable trays shall be earthed to a central earth point within the customers’ equipment room. Note: A minimum separation of 200 mm should exist between power and data cables.
Hardw are Installation Guide Installing the BSR ! Observe recommended minimum bend radii when installing copper cables. Wherever a cable changes direction, ensure that it does so in a smooth curve with a radius of at least 50 mm to prevent damage. ! A maintenance loop is to be left in the cable just before the cable reaches the BSR or GPS to prevent strain on the connector.
Installing the BSR Hardware Installation Guide 4.4. Connecting BSR for Serial Configuration The BSR provides a serial port for RS-232 serial interface to a PC. This serial communication connection allows you to perform BSR initial configuration. Notes: 1) For serial configuration, the BSR must remain connected to the BSDU/SDA (i.e., the BSR’s 15-pin D-type port remains connected to the BSDU’s/SDA’s 15pin D-type port).
