Radio Frequency Interference Statement
The Subscriber Unit equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to ETSI EN 301 489-1 rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a residential environment notwithstanding
use in commercial, business and industrial environments. 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.
The Base Station and Micro Base Station equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to ETSI
EN 301 489-1 rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in commercial,
business and industrial environments. 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
BreezeMAX PRO CPE
v
Legal Rights
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at the user’s own expense.
R&TTE Compliance Statement
This equipment complies with the appropriate essential requirements of Article 3
of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC.
Safety Considerations - General
For the following safety considerations, “Instrument” means the BreezeMAX units’
components and their cables.
Caution
To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to
do so.
Line Voltage
Before connecting this instrument to the power line, make sure that the voltage of
the power source matches the requirements of the instrument.
Radio
The instrument transmits radio energy during normal operation. To avoid
possible harmful exposure to this energy, do not stand or work for extended
periods of time in front of its antenna. The long-term characteristics or the
possible physiological effects of radio frequency electromagnetic fields have not
been yet fully investigated.
Outdoor Units and Antennas Installation and Grounding
Ensure that outdoor units, antennas and supporting structures are properly
installed to eliminate any physical hazard to either people or property. Make sure
that the installation of the outdoor unit, antenna and cables is performed in
accordance with all relevant national and local building and safety codes. Even
where grounding is not mandatory according to applicable regulation and
national codes, it is highly recommended to ensure that the outdoor unit and the
antenna mast (when using external antenna) are grounded and suitable lightning
protection devices are used so as to provide protection against voltage surges and
static charges. In any event, Alvarion is not liable for any injury, damage or
regulation violations associated with or caused by installation, grounding or
lightning protection.
Disposal of Electronic and Electrical Waste
Disposal of Electronic and Electrical Waste
Pursuant to the WEEE EU Directive electronic and electrical waste must not be disposed of with
unsorted waste. Please contact your local recycling authority for disposal of this product.

Chapter 1 - Product Description
1.1 Introducing BreezeMAX PRO CPE
The BreezeMAX PRO CPE is a new Subscriber Unit (SU) that is added to the
BreezeMAX family. The BreezeMAX PRO CPE is powered by Intel’s ProWireless
5116 WiMAX chip.
The new BreezeMAX PRO CPE has the same advanced features and functionality
as the existing BreezeMAX CPEs. The primary difference is in the mechanical
structure of the outdoor unit. The current BreezeMAX PRO CPE is based on
BreezeMAX version 1.0.2 and may be fully integrated with deployments using
version 1.5.
The BreezeMAX PRO CPE, installed at the customer premises, comprises an
Outdoor Unit (ODU) and an Indoor Unit (IDU).
The SU-ODU includes the modem, radio, data
processing and management components of the
SU, serving as an efficient platform for a wide
range of services. It also includes an integral
high-gain flat antenna or a connection to an
external antenna, as described in Table 1-1. The
SU-ODU provides data connections to the Access
Unit (AU), providing bridge functionality, traffic
shaping and classification. It connects to the IDU and to the user’s equipment
through a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port, and it can support up to 254 MAC
addresses.
Table 1-1: BreezeMAX PRO CPE Subscriber Unit ODU’s Types
ODU Type Description
BMAX-CPE-ODU-PRO-AV-3.5 Subscriber Outdoor Unit supporting the 3.5a and 3.5b
bands with an integrated vertically polarized antenna
BMAX-CPE-ODU-PRO-AH-3.5 Subscriber Outdoor Unit supporting the 3.5a and 3.5b
bands with an integrated horizontally polarized antenna
BMAX-CPE-ODU-PRO-E-3.5 Subscriber Outdoor Unit supporting the 3.5a and 3.5b
bands with a connection to an external antenna
The indoor unit is powered from the mains and connects to the SU-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 SU-ODU. It also
carries status indications from the SU-ODU.

Introducing BreezeMAX PRO CPE
There are two types of SU-IDUs:
The BMAX-CPE-IDU-1D is the basic IDU, functioning as a simple interface
unit with a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port that connects to the user’s
equipment.
The IDU-NG-4D1W Wireless Networking Gateway IDU provides advanced
routing capabilities and can also serve as a Wireless LAN Access Point.
