Warnings and Cautions
Human Exposure to Radio Frequencies
The MicroMAX should be installed and operated from a minimum distance of 2 meters to your
body.
Radio Interference
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the technician is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by performing one or more of the following measures:
¾Re-orientate or relocate the receiving antenna
¾Increase separation between the equipment and receiver
¾Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected
Avoiding Radio Interference
¾This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any antenna or
transmitter.
¾Ensure a minimum of 1-meter separation between co-located BSRs.
Modifications
Any changes and modifications to this device that are not expressly approved by Airspan
Networks may void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
General
¾Only qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, and service the equipment.
¾The device cannot be sold retail, to the general public or by mail order. It must be sold to
dealers.
¾Installation must be controlled.
¾Installation must be performed by licensed professionals.
¾Installation requires special training.
¾The MicroMAX radio and antenna should be installed ONLY by experienced installation
professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever
applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities. Failure to
do so may void Airspan's WiMAX product warranty and may expose the end user or the
service provider to legal and financial liabilities. Airspan and its resellers or distributors
are not liable for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation
of outdoor units or antennas.

FCC Notice
Federal Communication Commission Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his/her own
expense.
Fixed and base stations transmitting a signal with an emission bandwidth greater than 1 MHz
must not exceed an ERP of 1000 watts/MHz and an antenna height of 305 m HAAT, except that
antenna heights greater than 305 m HAAT are permitted if power levels are reduced below 1000
watts/MHz ERP.
GPS Compliance
The GPS is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of
Directive 1999/5/EC."
The GPS complies with the following EMC Common Regulatory Testing standards:
¾EN55022: Radiated and Conducted Emissions
¾CISPR 22: Class B
¾EN 50081-1: Generic Emissions Class B
¾EN 50082-1: Generic Immunity Class B
¾EN 61000-4-2: Electrostatic Discharge Immunity

2 System Overview
MicroMAX is a highly upgradeable Micro-cell base station, based on the Sequans System On a
Chip (SOC), with a pole/roof (wall) mounted radio system and antennae. This high performance
chip can support up to 28 + 28 MHz channels (full duplex) forms part of the AIRSPAN WIMAX
portfolio of WiMAX network infrastructure equipment. It is compatible with the Airspan EasyST
and ProST subscriber terminals and other manufacturer's CPEs that are fully WiMAX compliant.
The MicroMAX BSR is an outdoor radio that is mounted outside on a pole or wall. The BSR
provides a wireless link with subscribers and interfaces with the provider's backbone. The
MicroMAX BSR is available in two models. These models differ by antenna design (providing
integral flat-panel antennas, or an N-type port for attaching third-party external antennas).
MicroMAX BSR is available in numerous frequency bands, operating in FDD and TDD modes in
numerous channels see: MicroMAX Frequency Ranges.
The BSR connects to the indoor Ethernet switch by a CAT-5e cable, which carries the Ethernet
signal, and DC power. For a MicroMAX Base Station consisting of multiple BSRs, there are two
(2) options. The BSRs can be connected to individual Subscriber Data Adapters (SDA-4S) or to
Base Station Distribution Units (BSDU). For a Base Station consisting of a single BSR, the BSR
typically connects to a single Subscriber Data Adapter (SDA-4S or SDA-4SDC).
MicroMAX BSR provides a low cost, high-performance point-to multipoint packet-based
Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) solution. MicroMAX BSR Provides wireless connectivity
designed to deliver high-speed data, voice over IP (VoIP) and multimedia services to residential,
SOHO (Small Office/Home Office), and SME (Small to Medium Enterprises).
The MicroMAX is an encased outdoor radio providing access to the MicroMAX's communication
ports on its bottom panel. The MicroMAX's back panel provides holes for mounting.
MicroMAX BSR interfaces with the service provider's backbone through either:
¾The SDA-4S Type II or the SDA-4SDC (referred henceforth as SDA-4S) integrated LAN
switches.
•SDA-4S Type II: integrated LAN switch, providing power and four 10/100BaseT ports
for interfacing with the subscriber’s network
•SDA-4SDC Type II: integrated LAN switch, providing power and four 10/100BaseT
interfaces and especially designed for implementation where available power supply
is DC (10 to 52 VDC), e.g. from a solar panel. This model provides regulated –48
VDC power to the BSR.
¾Base Station Distribution Unit (BSDU) - provides an interface between multiple BSRs
and the service provider's backbone.
MicroMAX can be managed by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using
standard and proprietary MIBs. In addition, external third-party management systems such as HP
OpenView can also manage the MicroMAX using these MIBs. Basic management can be
performed using any standard Web browser.
Note: For management refer to MicroMAX Web Management documentation.

10/100BaseT interface with the subscriber's PCs/network.
¾The BSDU is also responsible for providing BSRs with -48 VDC power supply and for
synchronizing BSDUs, BSRs and Base Stations (when a GPS is implemented).
¾An external AC/DC power converter (optional) is available in the event -48 VDC is not
available at BS site. Contact your Airspan supplier.
