System Description Access Unit Installation Guide 1. System Description The BreezeACCESS IP Broadband Wireless Local Loop (WLL) system is a highperformance wireless access system. It allows ISPs and service providers to offer their subscribers high-speed wireless IP connectivity services. BreezeACCESS employs wireless packet data switching technology, significantly more appropriate for IP-based services than older switching technology, and supports Voice over IP (VoIP) based on the H.323 protocol.

Packing List Access Unit Installation Guide 2. Packing List The Access unit is shipped with the following units and accessories. The exact packing list varies depending on system configuration and ordered equipment. • Indoor unit • Outdoor unit • 110/220 VAC Power cord (open ended) • Sun-guard (installed on the rear side of the outdoor unit) • Technician cable 2.
Access Unit Installation Guide • General Installation Guidelines Ethernet cable (straight) 3. General Installation Guidelines Follow these guidelines when selecting the locations for the indoor unit and the outdoor units: • Select an appropriate location for the Outdoor unit and the antenna (not supplied by BreezeCOM). The antenna should be mounted on a pole and should be installed where a direct line of sight with the Access Unit/Base Station antenna can be established.
General Installation Guidelines Access Unit Installation Guide system can select the best antenna on a per-packet basis (every several milliseconds). Multipath propagation is to be expected when there are potential reflectors between the main and remote sites. These reflectors may be buildings or moving objects such as airplanes and motor vehicles. If this is the case, the radio signal does not travel in a straight line, but is reflected or deflected off of the object, creating multiple propagation paths.

Installing the Outdoor Units Access Unit Installation Guide 4. Installing the Outdoor Units When mounting the Outdoor unit, be sure to mount it with the Antenna connectors facing upwards. Note: The Outdoor unit can be mounted in either of the following configurations: • Pole mounted • Wall mounted 4.1 Pole Mounting Choose a location where the unit's exposure to direct sunlight is minimal. Avoid placing it in locations where water might accumulate.

Installing the Outdoor Units Access Unit Installation Guide 4.2 Mounting the Antenna Secure brackets to the antenna using screws, lock washers and nuts as appropriate. Mount the antenna on a pole and secure it using metal bands or U-bolts. Do not tighten the metal bands or U-bolts, in order to enable rotation of the antenna over the horizontal plane. The front of the antenna should be directed towards the Base Station/Access Unit. Use Vertical Polarization.
Access Unit Installation Guide Installing the Outdoor Units ANT.2 ANT.1 Figure 5. Outdoor Unit Top Connection Panel 1. Connect the antenna cable between the Outdoor unit and the antenna; if you are installing a second antenna (see Section 6.4), connect it to the second antenna connector on the top panel of the unit. 2. Connect one end of the ground cable to the Outdoor unit and connect the other end to a good ground connection. 3.
Installing the Indoor Unit Access Unit Installation Guide 5. Installing the Indoor Unit 1. Remove the wall mounting bracket clipped to the rear of the Indoor unit and mount the Indoor unit on a wall as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6. Wall Mounting the Indoor Unit 2. According to specific conditions, route the Outdoor unit to Indoor unit Baseband cable into the building so that it shall conveniently reach the Indoor unit in such a way as to ensure minimal interference, leaving some spare.
Access Unit Installation Guide Note: Installing the Indoor Unit Prepare the other end of the power cord with a power plug appropriate to the country in which the unit is being installed. The color codes of the cable are: brown phase ~ blue yellow/green neutral 0 grounding The factory set voltage of the Indoor unit is marked appropriately on the rear panel of the unit. 207-253VAC 100-120VAC 250mA 500mA POWER Figure 7.
