Safety and Warnings
Tarana G1 equipment is designed for installation and use by trained professionals
and requires adherence to all relevant regulatory, safety, and telecom industry best
practice guidelines for outdoor radios.
General Warnings
Failure to observe these safety precautions may result in personal injury or damage
to equipment.
•Follow all warnings and instructions marked on this product.
•Use standard safety guidelines when mounting. Installation and maintenance
procedures must be followed and performed by trained personnel only.
•Before unmounting the product, disconnect power input to reduce the risk of
hazards.
•Do not exceed 60 VDC of input to the device.
•Do not open the device. Opening the device voids the warranty.
•Do not stack anything on the radome.
•Dust covers must be installed on all connectors when not in use.
•Cable ends must be protected from weather if not connected to the device.
•When the SPF+ port is used, this is a Class 1 laser product. Invisible laser
radiation can be emitted from the aperture of the port when no fiber is
connected; therefore, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into
open apertures.
FCC Information
The FCC occupational controlled limit for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) is
5 mW/cm2. It is estimated that the maximum power density at the radome is 1.25
mW/cm2, which is below the FCC MPE limit. Since the power density for an
occupational controlled environment is less than the FCC limit, no additional
precautions are necessary. The occupational uncontrolled environment limit for
maximum permissible exposure (MPE) is 1 mW/cm2. To meet this MPE
requirement, the operator must be at a distance of 37.8 in or 96 cm away from the
radome cover of the system.

General Hazards
Topic Explanation
Chassis Earthing
The BN chassis earth must be connected directly to the DC supply system earthing conductor, or to a bonding jumper from an earthing
terminal bar, or bus to which the DC supply system earthing is connected.
Protection from RF
Exposure
When installing, servicing or inspecting an antenna always comply with the following:
•Locate the antenna such that it does not infringe the RF Exposure Limit Distance, relating to the Compliance Boundary General
Public.
•Stay aware of the potential risk of RF exposure and take appropriate precautions.
•Do not stand in front of or look into an antenna without first ensuring the associated transmitter or transmitters are switched off.
•At a multi-antenna site ask the site owner or operator for details of other radio services active at the site and for their
requirements/recommendations for protection against potentially harmful exposure to RF radiation.
•When it is not possible to switch transmitters off at a multi-antenna site and there is potential for exposure to harmful levels of RF
radiation, wear a protective suit.
Fiber Optic Cables •Handle optical fibers with care. Keep them in a safe and secure location during installation.
•Do not attempt to bend them beyond their minimum bending radius.
•Protect/cover unconnected optical fiber connectors with dust caps.
Grounding Connections •Reliable grounding of the BN chassis must be maintained.
Mains Power Supply
Routing
•BN DC power is not to be routed with any AC mains power lines. They are also to be kept away from any power lines which cross
them.
Maximum Ambient
Temperature
•The maximum ambient temperature for the BN product is 55 degrees C. To ensure correct operation and to maximize long term
component reliability, ambient temperatures must not be exceeded. Operational specification compliance is not guaranteed for
higher ambients. The BN should be mounted in such a way as to permit the vertical free flow of air through its cooling fins.
Mechanical Loading •When installing the BN on a tower, ensure that the tower is securely anchored. Ensure that the additional loading of devices will not
cause any reduction in the mechanical stability of the tower.
Power Supply
Connection
•The BN operates from a nominal -48 VDC power supply.
Power Supply
Disconnect
•An appropriate power supply disconnect device should be provided as part of the installation.
Rack Mount
Temperature
Considerations
•The BN is designed to operate in an outdoor environment with no significant obstructions in front of the radome. Do not install G1
in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, because such a closed rack would impede the propagation of the RF signals. The maximum
ambient temperature applies to the immediate operating environment of the G1 product.

Powering the BN
Important: Tarana recommends that the BN be powered and get an initial configuration prior to being mounted on the tower.
The BN requires power and a connection on a data port for Tarana Cloud Suite (TCS) operation. The voltage required is -48 VDC supplied on the Harting power connector
through the power port only. Power options are to provide -48VDC from the site or -48VDC from the Tarana AC/DC outdoor-rated power adaptor using AC power from the
site. Regardless, the DC power cable must be terminated with a Harting Push-Pull, quick-disconnect, IP67 rated connector, with pinouts as follows:
Pin 1 is +48V compared to pin 4, or pin 4 is -48V compared to pin 1. Pin 1 and pin 4 are isolated from the chassis ground, while pin 3 is connected to the chassis ground inside
the device. Pin 1 of the Harting connector must be connected to the higher potential conductor of the BN power supply.
Figure 2: Power Connector Cable View and Chassis View
To turn on the unit, simply apply power. The typical power draw is 275W. The max power draw is ~330W.

Tarana Wireless, Inc. Proprietary ©2021. All rights reserved. BN Installation Guide vIG_BN_2022-07 — 11
Initial Configuration
For initial configuration, use a Harting Push-Pull Ethernet cable assembly plugged into the MGMT port on the BN.
Note: Using a standard Ethernet cable in this port will make removing the cable difficult and could damage the port.
Harting Ethernet cable assemblies for this purpose are available through Tarana.
Upon receiving power, the BN will undergo the booting and initialization process for a period of 5-7 minutes. There are a set of LEDs on the bottom edge of the BN that will
cycle through patterns and colors during this time.
For more information about LED behavior in G1 products, see the G1 Administrator’s Guide.

Tarana Wireless, Inc. Proprietary ©2021. All rights reserved. BN Installation Guide vIG_BN_2022-07 — 12
DATA1 and DATA2 are optical SFP+ interfaces. Devices connected to these data ports must support SFP+ (10Gbps) or the ports will not come up. Tarana offers an industrial-
temperature SFP+ module for data connection at the BN on the tower. This SFP+ module is MEF certified with an extended temperature range of -40 to +85°C. DATA3 is a
copper interface and only supports 1Gbps. Devices connected to DATA3 must be Gigabit Ethernet or the port will not come up.
Note: Only one of the three data ports can be active at a time.
The BN communicates to the TCS through one of the data ports. The MGMT port is for initial configuration. Optionally this port can be used for on-site management, also
called Out of Band (OOB) management.

Tarana Wireless, Inc. Proprietary ©2021. All rights reserved. BN Installation Guide vIG_BN_2022-07 — 13
Accessing the MGMT Port
Connect a laptop to the MGMT Gigabit Ethernet port of the BN.
Assign a static IP address of 192.168.10.10 to the laptop.
The MGMT port has a default IP of 192.168.10.2 with no default VLAN.
Type https://192.168.10.2 into a web browser to access the BN’s web
interface.
Note: Chrome is the recommended and supported browser.
Enter the default login and password of “admin” and “admin123”,
respectively. This will bring up the BN’s web interface.
A management IP can also be assigned statically or by a DHCP server if there is a
DHCP server on the network.
DHCP is not enabled by default and must be enabled through the BN’s web UI.
DHCP cannot be enabled for both the in-band management and out of band
management interfaces.
Configuration
Note: The following is for the 5GHz BN. For CBRS BN configuration, see Appendix
C: CBRS Installations.
From the BN’s web UI the following information needs to be configured:
Enter a static IP within the subnet of the LAN gateway or enable DHCP to
have a DHCP server give the BN an IP address. If DHCP is enabled for the
in-band management IP Address, it cannot be used for the out-of-band
management address.
Configure a management VLAN (optional).
Configure the Data VLAN (required).
Note: The BN’s data ports (DATA1, DATA2, DATA3) require ingressing and
egressing data frames to be tagged (802.1q). By default, the BN will tag
egressing data frames with VLAN 2000. Arriving frames sent from the
network router to the BN’s data port must therefore also be tagged with
this VLAN number. The default Data VLAN can be changed via the BN’s
web UI, as seen in below. For more information about using VLANs in a G1
network, see the G1 Administrator’s Guide.
Enter the default IP gateway.

Tarana Wireless, Inc. Proprietary ©2021. All rights reserved. BN Installation Guide vIG_BN_2022-07 — 14
By default, the NTP Server is blank and not used because the BN uses GPS
for synchronization. However, if needed for lab testing (when the BN does
not have a view of the sky for GPS synchronization, configure an NTP
server using an IP address or FQDN.
Verify the connection to the TCS by confirming the Hostname appears in
green text at the top of the screen.
Important Notes:
1. The following information is reserved on the BN and may not be used as part of
the configuration:
•Reserved VLANs: 4092, 4093, and 4094
•Reserved IP subnets: 172.27.0.0/18, 10.240.0.0/12
2. The Data VLAN (required) and the Management VLAN (optional) must be
separate VLANs.
3. The IP subnet associated to the Data VLAN ingressing to the BN’s data port
must be different from the In-band Management IP subnet.
4. Out-of-band management is optional. If used, it must use a different IP subnet
as In-band management.
5. DHCP cannot be used for both In-band and Out-of-band management IP
addresses.
6. The following IP ports must be open in order to allow the BN to reach TCS:
•443 (TCP for HTTPS)
•53 (UDP for DNS)
•123 (UDP for network time)
7. The web UI should not be used for configuration changes once the initial
deployment has been completed. Configuration settings in TCS will overwrite
web UI settings. To avoid confusion or incorrect settings being applied, use TCS
for configuration once the device is registered and connected to TCS.
