SYSTEM OVERVIEW
EasyST is a revolutionary, self-install, indoor WiMAX customer premises equipment (CPE). The
EasyST is designed to work with WiMAX compliant base stations including the base station products
in the AS.MAX family. The EasyST, which uses Intel Corporation’s Pro/Wireless 5116 broadband
interface, connects IP-enabled devices directly to WiMAX networks and can be installed indoors by
end users within minutes without the need for costly professional installations by an operator.
EasyST is designed for the residential and small enterprise markets, providing high-speed
broadband Internet access and a Fast Ethernet connection to the subscriber's local area network
(LAN).
EasyST models support IP services at speeds of up to 37 Mbit/s over-the-air gross rates over
channel bandwidths of up to 10 MHz in both uplink and downlink. EasyST is available in numerous
ETSI frequency bands, operating in FDD and TDD modes in numerous channels, see: EasyST
Frequency Ranges and EasyST-2 Frequency Ranges.
EasyST is also available in a multi-mode model (EasyST-2) based on the Rosedale chipset which
supports both TDD and FDD.
Note: EasyST-2 is presently available for frequencies, 3.4–3.6 and 3.6–3.8 only.
EasyST uses the OFDM signaling format, providing non line-of-sight (NLOS) performance. EasyST
utilizes QAM, QPSK, and BPSK modulation technologies by modulating transmitted signals and
demodulating the received signals where the original digital message can be recovered. The use of
adaptive modulation allows EasyST to optimize throughput, yielding higher throughputs while also
covering long distances.
EasyST is typically deployed with a clip-on antenna, which is attached directly to the EasyST's top
panel. However, for deployments in rigorous terrains, the EasyST can be attached using an RF cable
to an external window-mount antenna to provide strong radio coverage.
The EasyST's compact design allows it to be deployed alongside the end-user's PC by simply placing
it on a desktop (or mounting it to a wall when using an external antenna. Easy-to-read radio signal
strength LED indicators on the EasyST's top panel enable the end user to position the device in the
optimum location, ensuring service availability and reliability, while increasing service speed and
reducing network load.
EasyST provides 10/100BaseT interface with the subscriber's LAN. In addition, the EasyST provides
an interface for adding plug-in expansion modules to provide support for features such as:
WiFi and LAN Switch (EasyWiFi module)
VoIP and battery backup (EasyVoice module)
EasyST is powered by an AC/DC power adapter that is plugged into any standard electrical wall
outlet. The power adapter provides interchangeable plug prongs to suit country-specific electrical
wall sockets.
EasyST can be managed by Airspan's AS.MAX Web-based management system using standard Web
browsers, or alternatively, by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) through BS
intervention using standard and proprietary MIBs. In addition, external third-party management
systems such as HP OpenView can also manage the EasyST using these MIBs.

Architecture
The EasyST is a self-install indoor unit requiring no professional installation. The EasyST
architecture includes the following components:
EasyST module with clip-on antenna
AC/DC power adapter with interchangeable plug prongs: plugged into a standard electrical
wall outlet (110/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz), supplying the EasyST with 6 VDC power
The EasyST provides a fast and easy mounting method by allowing you to simply place it on a
desktop/table. However, if an external antenna is used, the EasyST can alternatively be mounted on
a wall.

EasyST Models
The EasyST is available in three optional deployment models:
EasyST with clip-on antenna containing four high-gain, integrated flat panel, 90-degree
directional antennas, providing 360 degree coverage. EasyST selects the antenna with best
RF reception with the BS by using the 6-pin Antenna Controller.
EasyST with external antenna connected by RF cable for easy window mounting.
EasyST (clip on or external antenna) providing plug-in expansion modules supporting the
following interfaces:
oWiFi (EasyWiFi)
oVoIP and battery backup (EasyVoice)
oLAN switch

Note: EasyST uses the antenna switch to select one of the four 90-degree antennas of the
clip-on antenna. The antenna switch is not used in deployments in which the external
window-mount antenna is implemented.
EasyST Protocol Stack
The figure below displays a block diagram of the EasyST's network architecture, designed as a
hierarchy of protocols (i.e. protocol stack) implemented in the communication network.

605-0000-701 EasyST Hardware Installation User Guide Rev I
16
Theory of Operation
For basic operation, the EasyST requires no initial configuration--simply plug and play. Configuration
is automatically performed over the air by the BS. The EasyST is preconfigured by the operator at
the BS (using Netspan) with service flow parameters such as the maximum information rate, the
committed information rate, the maximum latency, and maximum jitter. These configuration
parameters are stored in Netspan's database corresponding to the EasyST's MAC address.
Before any communication between EasyST and BS can occur, the EasyST must be positioned in a
location that provides sufficient RF reception.
To join a network, the EasyST needs to perform a few tasks. First, the "Network Entry" process
(defined in IEEE 802.16-2004) begins with the EasyST scanning for a downlink (DL) signal from the
base station, and then synchronizing to the DL channel. Thereafter the EasyST can start the process
of initial ranging, which alerts the BS to the presence of the EasyST and establishment of
management connections to obtain basic, primary and secondary management connection IDs
(CID) from the BS. After the CIDs have been obtained, the EasyST commences authorization and
key exchange. In the final stage, the EasyST registers at the base station and thereafter obtains the
IP address, time of day and the configuration file from the BS.
During Network entry, the EasyST sends the BS its MAC address. The BS via SNMP notifies Netspan
of a new CPE connection and Netspan checks the database to it contains the CPE MAC address. The
BS then accesses Netspan's database (via SNMP) and checks whether the EasyST's MAC address
appears in the database. If it locates the MAC address, the Netspan feeds all the EasyST's
configuration parameters (service flows) from the database and the BS downloads them to the
EasyST device.
