The digital portion of the transceiver has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. 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 user is encouraged to try correct the interference
by performing one or more of the following measures:
- Reorientate or relocate the receiving antenna
- Increase separation between the equipment and receiver
- Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The ASWipLL system must be installed by professional and experienced technicians who are familiar with
radio frequency (RF) issues such as gains and losses, as well as local building and safety codes. Failure to do
so will void the product warranty and may expose the end user to excessive RF hazard. Regulations regarding
maximum antenna gains, power output and maximum permissible exposure vary from country to country. It is
the responsibility of the customer to operate within the limits of these regulations.
Do not connect the units to the power outlet before mounting the units and completing all communication
cabling, including antennas. Do not connect and disconnect antennas while power is on.
Inherent risks exist in operating equipment in license-exempt bands (i.e. 900 MHz). Airspan recommends that
you do not purchase or deploy any equipment that operates in license-exempt bands without first analyzing
the interference environment at each of your proposed deployment locations. Please contact your Authorized
Airspan System Integrator or Distributor if you have any questions or require assistance regarding interference
analysis. Airspan Networks will not be held responsible for product performance issues related to interference.
In environments that produce disturbances such as paging systems, Airspan recommends using a narrow-
band cavity filter and implementing the appropriate frequency bands (within the filter's capabilities), i.e.
building an NVRAM frequency table using only these frequencies.
Where operators come into direct contact with any piece of electronic hardware, operators must wear an ESD-
preventive wrist strap.
Ensure a minimum 2-meter separation between the outdoor radios and all persons during normal operation,
and a minimum 1-meter separation between adjacently installed ASWipLL outdoor radios.
Mount outdoor radios so that their front panel ports face down to prevent water from settling on the ports. This
avoids damage to the units such as corrosion and electrical short-circuiting.
In accordance with FCC regulations for operating in unlicensed bands, BSR external antennas must provide
EIRP ≤36 dBm to prevent interference with other radios operating in the unlicensed band.
Maximum CAT-5 cable length between ASWipLL outdoor radios and indoor equipment is 100 meters.
Enable frequency hopping-based synchronization via the BSDU for multiple BSRs at a Base Station, as well
as synchronization between Base Stations via a GPS (refer to the ASWipLL Commissioning Manual).

Basic Design of ASWipLL Radios
This chapter describes the basic design and physical dimensions of the ASWipLL BSR, SPR, and IDR
devices.
1.1. BSR
The BSR, installed at the Base Station, is an encased outdoor radio module providing a 9 pin D-type port for
RS-232 serial interface and a 15 pin D-type port for data, synchronization, and power interfaces. The BSR is
available in two models: BSR with an integral antenna (BSR 900 MHz TDD V-pol); BSR with two N-type ports
(displayed below) for attaching up to two external antennas (BSR 900 MHz TDD Dual Ext).
1.2. SPR
The SPR is an encased CPE outdoor radio module providing access to a 15 pin D-type port for Ethernet,
serial, and power interfaces. The SPR model is available in two models: SPR with an integral antenna (SPRL
900MHz TDD V-pol) and SPR with an N-type port for attaching an external antenna (SPR 900MHz TDD Ext).

Site Preparation and Planning
When preparing and planning the site, ensure the following:
Minimum obstructions (e.g. buildings) in the radio path between the Base Station radio (i.e. BSR) and the
subscriber radios (i.e. SPR/IDR).
Minimum incursions on Fresnel Zone (recommended minimum of 60% clearance of first Fresnel Zone).
Minimum multipath fading: Some of the transmitted signals may be reflected from a nearby building, by
water under the signal path, or from any other reflectors. This reflected ("bounced") signal can then be
received by the radio receiving the signal and superimposed on the main received signal, thereby,
degrading the signal strength. Airspan recommends installing the outdoor radios at the rear of the
building’s roof instead of the front. When you install at the rear, the front of the building blocks incoming
signals from multipath reflections.
Clean frequencies selected from Spectrum Analyzer results (see Chapters 9 and 13).
Maximum received signal strength (RSS) at CPE by antenna alignment: For the IDR, RSS can be
measured by the IDR's built-in RSS LEDs; for the SPR, RSS can be measured by Airspan’s WipConfig
program or by connecting Airspan's RSS LED Plug Adapter.
Radios are mounted as far as possible from sources of interference that could degrade performance of
radio. Ensure a minimum of 1-meter separation between co-located outdoor units.
Radios mounted as high as possible to avoid obstructions and to increase link quality.
BSR and SPR/IDR are within maximum range of reception.
Maximum length of 100 meters CAT-5 cable connecting outdoor radio units to indoor terminating units.
Sufficient wiring conduit and cable ties to channel and protect the CAT 5 cable connecting the outdoor
radio to the indoor hub/switch.
Required power source is available at the site.

External Antenna Considerations
This chapter discusses main issues when using third-party external antennas.
Notes:
1) To avoid unnecessary RF cable loss, use short-length cables and with low attenuation.
2) Antennas should have a VSWR of less than 1:1.5.
3) Ensure BSR and SPR/IDR use the same antenna polarity.
4) When using an omni-directional antenna, choose a type providing a wide vertical beam width of at
least 8° to allow connection of nearby CPEs.
5) Antennas must be DC grounded.
6) In accordance with FCC regulations for operating in unlicensed bands, BSR external antennas must
provide an EIRP of less than or equal to 36 dBm to prevent interference with other radios operating in the
unlicensed band.
3.1. Omni-Directional Antennas
In some scenarios, where capacity demand is relatively low, external omni-directional antenna use at the Base
Station may seem attractive. However, it is recommended to avoid using omni-directional antennas (if
possible), due to the following disadvantages that these antennas pose compared to directional antennas:
Higher sensitivity to external interferences.
Higher sensitivity to multipath, resulting in the following:
The root mean square (RMS) delay spread at the Base Station is substantially higher.
Multipath interference at the CPE side (when using omni-directional antenna at the Base Station) is
substantially higher. In fact, when using an omni-directional antenna, the existence of clear Fresnel
zone between BSR and SPR/IDR is insufficient to eliminate multipath interference, since multipath, in
this case, can be caused by reflections originating from obstacles outside the Fresnel zone.
Higher sensitivity to alignment. Since the omni-directional antenna gain is achieved by narrowing the
vertical beam width, a relatively low deviation in the antenna alignment results in severe signal attenuation
3.2. Antenna Polarization
The performance of ASWipLL 900 may vary dramatically depending on the polarization of antennas, i.e.
vertical or horizontal. Therefore, it is recommended that the operator, during installation, compare the
performance between horizontal and vertical polarization of external antennas, and use the polarization
providing the best performance.
Note: Some antennas support both horizontal and vertical polarization:
- Yagi
- 9 dBi antenna (Cat. No. 35000008)
- 6.5 dBi antenna (Cat. No. 35000009)

Transmit Power and Cable Loss
Airspan’s ASWipLL radios provide transmit power compensation for power attenuation caused by cable loss
(of cable connecting to external antenna). Cable loss is the loss of radio transmit (Tx) power as heat, and
directly proportional to cable length and quality, and operating frequency. In accordance with FCC regulations,
when operating in unlicensed bands, the external antennas must provide an EIRP of ≤36 dBm to prevent
interference with other radios. EIRP is defined as max. Power Output plus (+) Antenna Gain minus (-)
Cable Loss. Therefore, to adhere to this EIRP limitation, when purchasing antenna cables, take into
consideration cable loss per cable length. The table below lists examples of cable loss per cable length.
The following procedure describes how to configure (using WipManage) BSR transmit power for 23 dBm when
using a 40-foot cable with a 4-dB cable loss.
To define BSR transmit power taking into consideration cable loss (using WipManage):
1. In the BSR Zoom window, from the Configuration menu, point to RF, and then choose Power Settings.
2. Ensure the Power Management Mode Active check box is cleared. On the Power Level slide ruler,
define the BSR’s maximum power level, e.g. 23 dBm.
3. In the Loss Compensation field, enter the power to compensate for power attenuation due to cable length
(i.e. cable loss compensation), e.g. 4 dB.
4. Click Apply, and then reset the BSR to apply the new power settings.
Therefore, taking cable loss into consideration, the total power level of 27 dBm (23 plus 4) is achieved.
Notes:
1) Airspan does not supply external antenna cables. It is the responsibility of the installer to provide the
cable and ensure the cable characteristics (e.g. length and cable loss) enables adherence to FCC's
regulations concerning maximum EIRP (i.e. of less than or equal to 36 dBm).
2) ASWipLL 900 MHz is capable of transmitting at up to 30 dBm. However, in accordance with FCC
regulations, transmit power is limited to 23 dBm in the 4 Mbps mode, and 18 dBm in the 3 Mbps mode.

Clamping Bracket
To pole mount the BSR/SPR:
1. Attach the mounting bracket to the BSR/SPR using two stainless steel bolts.
2. Attach the clamping bracket to the mounting bracket using two M8-stainless steel bolts.
3. Attach the Clamping bracket to the pole by placing the two U-bolts around the pole, and then inserting the
U-bolt through the Clamping bracket and securing it by screwing the two bolts on the U-bolt.
4. Adjust the vertical position of the BSR/SPR. Lock the BSR/SPR at the desired position by inserting the
locking bolt in the desired position. Once the correct angle has been set both bolts must be tightened to
lock the BSR/SPR bracket in place.
5. Adjust the BSR/SPR horizontal position by rotating the BSR/SPR about the pole, and then tighten the U-
bolt.
BSR/SPR positioning is obtained in two planes by adjustment of the mounting bracket assembly as shown
in the figure below.

5.2. Wall Mounting
The BSR and SPR can be fixed to a wall.
To wall mount the BSR/SPR:
1. Place the mounting bracket in the desired position on the mounting surface (i.e. wall), and then use a
pencil to mark the position of the four mounting holes.
2. Drill holes for each hole that you marked in the step above.
3. Insert wall anchors into each of the drilled holes. Ensure that the distance between the holes’ centers are
120 mm (top and bottom parallel holes) and 60 mm (left and right parallel holes).
4. Align the mounting bracket’s four holes with the wall anchors, and then insert a screw through the
mounting bracket holes into each wall anchor, and secure by tightening.
Note: Airspan does not provide screws for attaching the mounting bracket to the wall. The screw size
depends on the structure of the building to which the bracket is to be attached. When selecting screw sizes,
consideration must be given to the weight of the BSR/SPR and load that may be induced in wind
y
conditions.
5. Attach the BSR/SPR to the mounting bracket using the two stainless steel bolts (supplied), washers, and
nuts as shown in the figure below.
6. Adjust the horizontal positioning of the BSR/SPR, and then tighten the two stainless-steel bolts. Rotation is
restricted to the horizontal plane only, as shown below.
