Select the best location for the outdoor unit using the following guidelines:
 The outdoor unit can be pole or wall mounted.
 The location should allow easy access to the unit for installation.
 When using an external antenna, the unit should be installed as near as possible to
the antenna.
 Make sure clear Line of Sight between the sites.
Path of clearest propagation
A propagation path is the path that signals traverse between the antennas of any two
bridges. The “line” between two antenna sites is an imaginary straight line, which may be
drawn between the two antennas. Any obstacles in the path of the “line” degrade the
propagation path. The best propagation path is, therefore, a clear line of sight with good
clearance between the “line” and any physical obstacle.
Physical obstacles
Any physical object in the path between MU and SU may cause signal attenuation.
Common obstructions are buildings, trees and hills located in the path between the two
sites. Install outdoor antennas high enough to avoid any obstacles, which may block the
signal.
Minimal path loss
Path loss is determined by several factors:
 Distance between sites – Path loss is lower when distance between sites is
shorter.
 Clearance – Path loss is minimized when there is a clear line of sight. The number,
location, and size of obstacles determine their contribution to path loss.
 Antenna height – Path loss is lower when antennas are positioned higher. Antenna
height is the distance from the imaginary line connecting the antennas at the two
sites to “ground” level. “Ground” level in an open area is the actual ground. In dense
urban areas, “ground” level is the average height of the buildings between the
antenna sites.
Minimizing path loss maximizes link’s signal strength, throughput and availability.

The outdoor unit transmit power is configurable. The unit limits the max transmit power
according to the antenna gain, the regulation and the frequency band. The installer, if
needed, can select a lower power.
Regulation of the unit defines the frequency band supported by the units:
 FCC: 2.5GHz, 4.9GHz, 5.8 GHz.
 ETSI: 3.x GHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz.
 Mexico: 4.95-4.99 GHz, 5.15-5.35 GHz, 5.8 GHz and 10GHz.
 Other regulation.
The unit supports two levels of privilege password: regular user and administrator user.
Since Tx power level affect compliance of the unit with regulation rules, precautions are
built into the system to keep the end user from adjusting the Tx power level above the
regulation limits. Therefore, the following parameters are Configurable only by administrator
user:
 Antenna gain and cable loss.
 Tx Power.

antennas. Please refer to Appendix C – FCC approved antennas. It is
the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the
outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply),
only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of

According to FCC part 15.247(b):
(1) The maximum peak output power of intentional radiator shall not exceed 1 Watt (+30
dBm).
(3) If transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used, the peak output
power from the intentional radiator shall be reduced below the maximum peak power (of
+30 dBm) as appropriate, by the amount in dB that the directional gain of antenna exceeds
6 dBi.
That is to say that the maximum EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) shall not exceed
+36 dBm.
(ii) Systems operating in 5.8 GHz exclusively for fixed, point-to-point operations may
employ transmitting antennas with directional gain greater than 6 dBi without any
corresponding reduction in transmitter peak output power.
That is to say that the maximum EIRP can exceed +36 dBm in point-to-point applications.
Dynamic range of Tx power in BreezeAIR is 40 dB.
In Point-to-Multipoint mode, the unit will automatically reduce the Tx power according to
the antenna gain and regulatory. For example:
 For integrated antenna of 23 dBi, the max allowed Tx power is 13 dBm (10 dBm in
MIMO) to meet the EIRP limitation of 36 dBm.
 For integrated antenna of 28.5 dBi, the max allowed Tx power is 7 dBm (4 dBm in
MIMO) to meet the EIRP limitation of 36 dBm.

(2) High power point-to-point and point-to-multipoint operations (both fixed and temporary-
fixed rapid deployment) may employ transmitting antennas with directional gain up to 26
dBi without any corresponding reduction in the maximum conducted output power or
spectral density. Corresponding reduction in the maximum conducted output power and
peak power spectral density should be the amount in decibels that the directional gain of
the antenna exceeds 26 dBi.
FCC – 2.5 GHz
According to FCC 47 CFR part 27.50:
(i) The maximum EIRP of a main, booster or base station shall not exceed 33 dBW

The buzzer is beeping at four tone levels:
 Fast – highest signal obtained so far.
 Medium – the current RSSI is lower than the highest signal obtained so far.
 Slow – the current RSSI is much lower than the highest signal obtained so far.
 No sound – no reception of the base station at all (or the buzzer is off).
To align the unit using the RSSI buzzer, please perform the following steps.
1. When the unit is first connected to power, the buzzer will be automatically activated
in one of the following modes:
 No sound – there is no reception.
 Fast beep – there is a reception (which is currently the maximum signal
obtained).
2. Set the MU at fixed modulation of BPSK ½ in both uplink and downlink.

3. Take the unit to the selected location and align the antenna in the link’s direction.
Listen to the buzzer tone level. Any sound (fast, medium or slow) indicates a
reception.
4. Change and rotate the antenna to the left, right, up and down, scanning for the
maximum reception point.
5. After the scan is complete, align the antenna to the location where the buzzer beeps
at the fast rate, indicating the maximum reception.
6. Mount and secure the unit by fastening the mounting screws.
7. Set the MU back to adaptive modulation (AUTO) for both uplink and downlink.
8. Disable the RSSI buzzer.
To activate/deactivate the buzzer manually, use the Link Manager advanced window.

The outdoor unit shall be connected to a protective earth with not less than 10 AWG
conductors having green-yellow insulation. The following figure shows the grounding cable
from outdoor unit external screw to adjacent grounding rod. The cable should be long
enough to reach from the mounting pole to the grounding rod with 3 to 6 feet extra to allow
for strain relief.

Protection from lightning
US National Electric Department of Energy Handbook 1996 specifies that radio and
television lead-in cables must have adequate surge protection at or near the point of entry
to the building. The code specifies that any shielded cable from a detached antenna must
have the shield directly connected to a 10 AWG wire that connects to the building ground
electrode.
The ground wire shall be terminated with UL listed lug with a diameter of 0.2 inch (5.2
mm).
The ground lug will need to be suitable for terminating on aluminum materials, such as the
use of an aluminum connector and aluminum ground conductor.
