•Install the equipment and the grounded DC supply circuits in adjacent cabinets.
•Protect the DC power source with an adjacent circuit breaker.
•The equipment must be properly grounded before attempting to operate or perform any
repairs.
RF Exposure
To avoid RF exposure - Installation of antennas must comply with the FCC RF exposure
requirements.
Radio Interference
This equipment generates and radiates radio frequency energy and if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications.
To avoid interferences:
•Avoid conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
•In case of Radio Interference: Relocate the antenna and Increase separation between
the equipment and the receiver (e.g. connect to a separate circuit or outlet).
•When using an external antenna, the external antenna must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter
NOTE: This equipment 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 off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into 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.

1 Introducing the RNU4000BS BS
Runcom's RNU4000BS fully integrated outdoor WiMAX BS provides flexible, cost-effective
WiMAX network deployment solutions where increased capacity and coverage is required.
‘All-in-one’ architecture combined with simple, single-handed installation and fast rollout
make these BSs an ideal solution for operators that want to get in on the ground floor of WiMAX
deployment at significant CAPEX reductions and maximum return on their network deployment.
The RNU4000BS is designed for coverage flexibility: depending on the required scenario,
the same BS can be configured to cover more sectors with relatively sparse concurrent user
requirements or fewer sectors with higher needs.
RNU4000BS BSs provide adaptable solutions, allowing interoperability with other MSS
devices as well as ASN-GW vendors.

1.1 Coverage Configurations
RNU4000BS supports either two or four RF channels and can provide coverage for either
one, two or four sectors depending on the sector density (throughput capacity) and radio performance
requirements (note that internal antenna can be used for single sector coverage only):
•Single-Sector solution of 4x4 – (for internal and external antennas) – used for
higher density sites: four channels for Tx and four channels for Rx MRC. This
configuration improves coverage through diversity and improve throughput through
MIMO 4x2.
•Dual-Sector solution of 2x2 (only relevant for external antennas) – used for lower
populated sites: two channels for Tx channels and two channels for Rx MRC. MIMO
of 2x2 can be perform if signal to noise ratio is good.
•Quad-Sector solution of 1x4 (only relevant for external antennas) – used for more
sparsely populated sites: single channel for Tx and single channel for Rx. This
configuration is highly cost effective but suffer from lower performance and
coverage area per sector (totally it covers more space)
The overall capacity, of single base station unit, with respect to the maximum number of
connected users, supported bands and throughput is constant; however, in a dual-sector installation, the
BS will transmit to two separate sectors in a cell, where each sector is serviced by two antennas. In quad
sector installation the BS will transmit to four sectors in a cell (Usually covers the entire cell 3600) ,
where each sector is serviced by one antenna. These two configurations reduce CAPEX and OPAX for
operators by covering cells with relatively low density or sparsely populations, which have low
requirements for concurrent user’s and / or lower data traffic.
The following figure shows a single sector covered by 4x Tx/Rx channels. Several of these sectors (within
the same site) should be installed, using the corresponding number of RNU4000BSs, to complete site
coverage. Each site can use single GPS antenna, installed on one of the BS, daisy-chained from BS to

Connector Descri tion
GPS Connects to an external (optional) GPS antenna. The GPS antenna is ordered
separately. Connector Type: ITT CANNON APD DIN 72585
ETH1 Primary Fast Ethernet connector. Used for initial setup (and standalone tests),
and for connection to the backhaul network (in normal installations).
Connector Type: RJ-45 TYCO part no 1546907-1
ETH2 Second Ethernet port for local and out-of-band management.
In future versions, you will be able to daisy-chain this port to ETH1 in an
adjacent Base Station (located in the same BS site) in order to allow a single
Ethernet connection to the Backhaul.
ETH2 port can also function as a serial port (connection through the cable
supplied in the kit). This function is useful if the unit is not accessible via an IP
address connection.
PPS PPS In and PPS Out can be used for synchronization of multiple sectors, where
the PPS Out of one sector is connected to the PPS In of the next BS (daisy
chained). This is relevant only for adjacent sectors at the same BS site. See
“Multi - Sector Daisy - Chained GPS antennas” section
Connector Type: SMA sealed Industrial
48VDC Power connector. External DC power connector (48VDC) for outdoor
deployment. Connector Type: RJ-45
GND Ground blind hole connector. In normal installations, connect to the pole on
which the unit is mounted. (The BS unit does not include a lightning arrester.)

Note: Specs for dual-slant antennas described in section 5.2.
You may use any other antenna type or model, keeping in mind that the antenna type or
model should be based on the RF planning that was performed in preparation for
deployment at the specific site and is dependent upon the coverage and throughput
requirements of the site.
