Overview
This section describes the intended use of this document and introduces
the service utilities used for remote unit installation and maintenance.
A remote unit is the subscriber termination equipment for the BeamPlex
broadband wireless access system. It communicates with its associated
base station through an RF signal path; and it communicates with the
subscriber’s computer through an Ethernet cable.
The service utilities are used to set configuration parameters, initiate the
phases of service activation, and monitor the status of a remote unit.
Scope and Purpose
The service utilities are applicable for professional installation and
diagnosis of both the BRU-150 and BRU-100 models of remote unit, which
are described below. Both models are designed with the same electronics so
the service utilities will work with either one of them.
Caution: Read the section BRU-150 Self-Install Remote Unit on page 8
about required configuration before delivery to the subscriber.
This document is primarily for technicians who perform a manual BRU-
150 installation. The BRU-150 is designed for subscriber self-installation.
If the subscriber encounters problems during or after self-installation,
technicians will use these service utilities to resolve the problems.
For system release 1.1, the existing installation manuals listed in the
section Reference Documents on page 9 accurately describe the physical
installation process. However, the BRU-100 documents describe the use of
the RIT (Remote Unit Installation Tool) which has now been replaced by
the service utilities described here. Installers should use this document for
configuring the BRU-100 until the installation manuals have been revised.

Remote Unit Service Utilities
The service utilities are two applets designed to support the installation
and maintenance of a remote unit:
BRU Installation Tool (BRUIT)
The installation tool consists of a set of GUI windows that guide the
installer through the steps of the configuration and activation process.
Latitude/longitude coordinates of the subscriber’s premise and compass
bearings to the closest base stations are used to accurately point the
antenna in areas of difficult reception. The GUI contains a signal
strength indicator and other technical displays. Installers can set
certain configuration parameters and install software upgrades with
this tool.
The BRUIT is used primarily for BRU-100 professional installations. It
is also used for onsite technical support if a subscriber encounters
problems with either model of remote unit.
BRU Status Monitor
The status monitor displays information about the state of the air link
between the remote unit and the base station. It provides a utility to
change the IP address in the remote unit, and it performs a basic
continuity check between the PC and the remote unit, and between the
PC and base station.
The status monitor utility is part of the service utilities, but it was
designed for the subscriber and is installed on their computer.

Installation Overview
This section overviews the installation steps for the BRU-150 and BRU-100
remote units.
BRU-150 Self-Install Remote Unit
The BRU-150 is designed for the subscriber to self-install the unit.
However, for system release 1.1 the configuration process has not been fully
automated. You must manually set the Local RUID (remote unit
identification) before delivering the unit to the subscriber. This parameter
uniquely identifies this remote unit to the base station.
Prior to sending the remote unit to a subscriber, you must determine the
Local RUID that will be assigned to this unit. Your company should have
developed a plan for Local RUID assignment.
Note: The Local RUID is normally associated with a particular
subscriber. You must ensure the correct BRU-150 is being
delivered to a subscriber based on the Local RUID assignment.
The Local RUID is configured into the Transceiver of the BRU-150 with
the BRUIT (installation tool). At Step 3 in the BRUIT you will open the
BRU Configuration window and set a value for the Local RUID.
The subscriber will use the BRU-150 Installation Quick Guide to
accomplish the installation. If a subscriber is in an area with difficult
reception, you may need to make a service call to perform a manual
installation using precise antenna-pointing techniques.
BRU-100 Professional Install Remote Unit
The installation process for the BRU-100 is described in detail in the
installation documents listed in the following section. The service utilities
are used in place of the RIT (Remote Unit Installation Tool) currently
described in those documents.

Service Computer
This section describes the requirement for the service computer that will
host the service utilities and be used in the field to install remote units.
These requirements also apply to the subscriber’s computer.
Computer
The service utilities are designed to run on a computer with a Windows
2000 or later operating system. For field service, a portable (laptop)
computer is used.
The computer must be configured with
–an Ethernet (NIC) card,
–a PPPoE client, and;
–a CD drive.
Ethernet Cable
The service computer connects to the remote unit through an Ethernet
cable.
BRU-150
Use a CAT 5 Ethernet straight-thru cable with RJ-45 plug (male)
connectors on both ends to connect the computer to a BRU-150 Transceiver.
BRU-100
For the current version of the BRU-100 remote unit, a cable is supplied
with the installation kit that mates with the round connector on the
Outdoor Unit and has an RJ-45 connector on the other end. You will need
this cable and the installation power injector to connect the service
computer to the Outdoor Unit. Follow the instructions in the BRU-100
Installation and Configuration manual, or the Installation Summary
guide, using the service computer in place of the RIT.
The next version of the BRU-100 will have a standard RJ-45 jack in place of
the round connector, and the installation power injector will not be needed.

IP Address
The service computer must have a static IP address that is compatible with
the remote unit’s address, which is delivered with the default address of
192.168.1.1. Set the IP address in the service computer as follows:
♦IP address 192.168.1.X
Where X is any number between 2 and 255. If the number you
choose causes a conflict with another network device, you will see an
error message. If this occurs, try a different number for the X value.
♦Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Software
This section lists the software files you must load onto the service
computer prior to a service call.
Service Utilities
The service utilities are not packaged in an installation shield at this time.
The files are delivered in a self-extracting Zip file (bruit.exe) on a CD.
Create a new directory on the service computer and unzip the files into it.
Open the applications by executing these files:
♦BRU-IT.exe – BeamPlex Remote Unit Installation Tool
♦BRU-Mon.exe – BeamPlex Remote Unit Monitor
You may to create shortcuts to these files for ease of use.
Software Image
You must also download and store the current remote unit software image
file, which contains updates to the operating system. Step 3 in the
installation tool allows you to read the software version currently in the
remote unit, and to send a new image file if an update is indicated.
A software image file is provided by BeamReach Networks and should be
stored in your system on a TFTP server.

Service Order File
A service order file is generated by the SAM (Service Activation Module) of
the BeamPlex Element Management System. The service provider inputs
customer data into the SAM for each BRU-100 subscriber.
BRU-100
For a BRU-100 installation, you must also download a service order file for
each subscriber who will receive an installation on the pending service
trip. This file contains the subscriber’s latitude and longitude estimated
coordinates and the coordinates of the closest base stations. This data is
retrieved when you enter the customer number in Step 4 of the installation
procedure. The customer number is the numeric part of the service order
file name. For example, service order file SO_567891.xml denotes a customer
number of 567891.
BRU-150
A service order file may not exist for a subscriber with a BRU-150. You will
need a file only if you have to perform a manual installation. In this case,
there is a default service file included with installation tool that can be
used. Its file name is SO_1467854.xml and it is in the same directory in the
service computer as the installation tool files.
Edit this default file to change the following data:
–BSOC (base station offset code) – The remote unit uses this code to
identify a base station.
–Base station coordinates – The latitude/longitude coordinates of the
three closest base stations in your service area.
Note: You must obtain the BSOC and coordinates from the engineers
that configured the base station.
This XML file can be easily edited with a text editor, such as the Notepad
or Wordpad applications that come standard with Windows operating
systems.
A portion of the service order file as read by a text editor is shown in
Figure 2-1 on page 16. The file contains data on three base stations.
