Chapter 1 - Products Description 1.1 BreezeMAX CPEs The WiMAX-compatible PRO-S CPE and Si CPE Subscriber Units (SUs) are powered by Intel's WiMAX Connection 2250 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), 3.3 GHz and 3.5 GHz frequency bands.
BreezeMAX CPEs For the Self-Install Si CPE, several tools that support easy installation by non-professional users are available to support various business models. These include: A user-friendly WiMAX Modem Application designed for the non-professional end user provides easy to follow installation instructions. The application includes pre-configuration of most of the relevant parameters, which are automatically loaded into the unit.
Chapter 1 - Products Description 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.
Introducing BreezeMAX PRO-S CPE The IDU-1D1V and IDU-1D2V SIP Voice Gateway IDUs provide one or two telephony ports and include a backup battery to ensure uninterrupted service during power outages. The IDU-1D1V and IDU-1D2V are available with either RJ-11 or Terminal Board telephone connection(s).

Chapter 3 - Commissioning 3.1 Commissioning Steps After completing the installation process, as described in the preceding chapter, several actions should be performed to ensure connectivity with the Base Station and provisioning of services.
Configuring Basic Parameters 3.2 Configuring Basic Parameters 3.2.1 The Basic Parameters Table 3-1: SU's Basic Parameters Parameter Default Value Comment Ethernet Port auto Negotiation Enable/Disable Enabled Applicable only to E-model units (with Ethernet interface). Ethernet Port Speed and Duplex Applicable only to E-model units (with Ethernet interface).
Chapter 3 - Commissioning NOTE Some parameters are changed to their new values only after reset (refer to Section 4.11 for more details). Once the basic parameters are configured, the unit should be reset in order to activate the new configuration. 3.2.2 Configuration Tools Two options for local configuration and monitoring are incorporated into all SUs: The Installer Monitor program, based on a user-friendly CLI (Command Line Interface). The Installer Monitor program can be accessed using Telnet.
Configuring Basic Parameters To configure parameters using the Web Configuration Server, connect a PC/Notebook or a Pocket PC/PDA with a web browser to the Ethernet port of the SU, using a straight Ethernet cable. In a PRO-S CPE, you can also connect directly to the ODU's IDU COM connector, using the special Y-cable. 2 Configure the PC's IP parameters to enable connectivity with the unit. The IP address of the SU for local management access is 192.168.254.251. The Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
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 NOTE When the Y-Cable is connected, there is no Ethernet connectivity between the ODU and the data device connected to the IDU. 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.
Chapter 3 - Commissioning 2 Connect the cable attached to the SAU to the SAU connector. 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.

If the SU is not synchronized with the Base Station, ensure that all parameters are configured properly.
Chapter 3 - Commissioning 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 41 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 4.9.
Aligning the Si CPE's Antenna 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.
Chapter 3 - Commissioning 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).
