1 Chapter 1 - Products Description In This Chapter: “BreezeMAX CPEs” on page 2 “Introducing BreezeMAX PRO-S CPE” on page 3 “Introducing BreezeMAX Si CPE” on page 5 “Voice and Networking Gateways” on page 6 “PRO-S CPE Specifications” on page 10 “Si CPE Specifications” on page 15
Chapter 1 - Products Description 1.1 BreezeMAX CPEs The WiMAX-ready PRO-S CPE And Si CPE Subscriber Units (SUs) are powered by Intel's Pro/Wireless 5116 WiMAX chip. BreezeMAX CPEs serve as an efficient platform for a wide range of services, providing bridge functionality and supporting up to 512 MAC addresses. BreezeMAX CPEs are currently available in the 2.3 GHz (WCS), 2.5 GHz (MMDS and MCS) and 3.5 GHz frequency bands.
Introducing BreezeMAX PRO-S CPE 1.2 Introducing BreezeMAX PRO-S CPE The PRO-S CPE comprises an Outdoor Unit (ODU) and an Indoor Unit (IDU). The ODU includes the modem, radio, data processing and management components of the SU. It also includes an integral high-gain flat antenna (SA models) or a connection to an external antenna (SE models), as described in Table 1-2. “L” (Limited Performance) models of the CPEs support a limited overall throughput of 2 Mbps maximum.
Chapter 1 - Products Description The IDU-1D1V and IDU-1D2V Voice Gateway IDUs provides one or two telephony ports and include a backup battery to ensure uninterrupted service during power outages. To facilitate the configuration process, antenna alignment and performance monitoring during installation/testing, a special Y-cable is available. This enables connecting a Notebook or a PDA directly to the ODU for fast and easy completion of all the necessary operations.
Introducing BreezeMAX Si CPE 1.3 Introducing BreezeMAX Si CPE The Self Install Si CPE is a compact Subscriber Unit (SU) that is intended for indoor installations. The Si CPE includes embedded capabilities and supplementary tools that support easy installation by a non-professional user, supporting fully automated network-entry, authentication and services provisioning.
Chapter 1 - Products Description 1.4 Voice and Networking Gateways The following Gateways are currently available from Alvarion: IDU-NG-4D1W: A Networking Gateway with advanced routing capabilities that serves also as an IDU for the PRO-S CPE, supporting 4 data ports and 1 Wireless LAN port. VG-1D1V: A stand-alone (external) Voice Gateway, connecting to the Ethernet port of the CPE and supporting 1 data port and 1 POTS port. Available in either SIP or H.323 model.
Voice and Networking Gateways Maintain telephony toll quality over the wireless network - dynamically allocate Continuous Grant (CG) connections for active calls, maintaining the QoS and low jitter needed for toll-quality voice services. Allocate Continuous Grant dedicated bandwidth only for the duration of the call - the air resources are allocated and released according to the DRAP messages, which are based on the VoIP signaling. This dynamic allocation ensures efficient use of the air resources.
Chapter 1 - Products Description compatible wireless adapters can connect to the unit via its built-in Wireless LAN port, functioning as an Access Point. The Wireless Networking Gateway IDU is powered from the mains and connects to the ODU via a Category 5E Ethernet cable. This cable carries the Ethernet data between the two units as well as power (54 VDC) and control signals to the ODU. It also carries status indications from the ODU.
Voice and Networking Gateways 1.4.4 IDU-1D1V and IDU-1D2V Voice Gateways Alvarion's Voice Gateways enable operators and service providers to offer end users a combination of IP-telephony and broadband data services, enabling uninterrupted operation od the CPE during power outages.

Chapter 3 - Commissioning 3.3 Aligning the PRO-S CPE’s Antenna 3.3.1 Fast Configuration and Antenna Alignment (PRO-S CPE) A special Y-cable, available from Alvarion, enables to connect a Pocket PC (or a portable PC) directly to the IDU COM port of the ODU.
Aligning the PRO-S CPE’s Antenna 3 From the Pocket PC/Notebook, connect to the SU and complete the process of configuring basic parameters. 4 Verify that the the unit is synchronized with a Base Station. If the SU is not synchronized with a Base Station, ensure that all parameters are configured properly. If the unit is still not synchronized with a Base Station, improve the quality of the link by changing the direction of the antenna or by placing the antenna at a higher or in an alternate location.
Chapter 3 - Commissioning 3 After completing the installation, disconnect the cable and replace the cap as shown in the following figure. Make sure that the small protrusion on the side of the cap fits inside the hole on the connector's protective body: Figure 3-2: Inserting the SAU Sealing Cap Use appropriate sealing material to protect the connection against moisture and humidity. Use removable sealing material, such as a tar seal, to enable future access to the connector.
Aligning the PRO-S CPE’s Antenna Table 3-2: SAU LEDs Name Description Functionality ETH Ethernet link status Off - No Ethernet connectivity has been detected between the outdoor unit and the device connected to the indoor unit indication (Ethernet integrity) Green- Ethernet connectivity has been detected between the outdoor unit and the device connected to the indoor unit LINK QUALITY bar Wireless link status and display signal quality Indication See Table 3-3.
Chapter 3 - Commissioning LEDs 2 to 9 (green) indicate the quality of the received signal. The higher the number of LEDs illuminating, the better the quality of the received signal. If all LEDs, including LED 10 (red) are on, the received signal strength is too high. This must be avoided, preferably by up-tilting the antenna. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the Base Station, it is recommended to up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10° to 15°.
Aligning the Si CPE's Antenna 3.4 Aligning the Si CPE's Antenna The Signal link quality 7-LEDs display is located on the top panel of the unit. The higher the number of LEDs that are on, the better the quality of the received signal. Refer to “Si CPE Top Panel Components” on page 39 for more details on the functionality of the LEDs. The link quality can be estimated more accurately using the Link Quality Display option in the SU Installer Monitor program. Refer to Section 4.8.
Chapter 3 - Commissioning NOTE Ensure that the front of the antenna is always facing the Base Station. However, in certain conditions, such as when the line of sight to the Base Station is hampered, better reception may be achieved using a reflected signal. In this case, the antenna is not necessarily directed toward the Base Station.
Operation Verification 3.5 Operation Verification To verify proper operation of the PRO-S CPE, examine the LED indicators on the IDU (see Table 2-5) and the SAU (see Table 3-2). NOTE Verifying the correct operation of the ODU using the SAU LEDs is meaningful only after the configuration and alignment processes are completed, and the unit is synchronized with the Base Station. To verify proper operation of the Si CPE, examine the LED indicators on the top panel (see Table 2-7).
