Introduction
The xMax “Base Station Node 200 - Three sectors” (BSN200-3S) is a wireless transmit /
receive network element for the xMax network. The device operates in the unlicensed
900 MHz band. It is used for communicating with xMax Handsets and other CPE, for
voice services.
This manual provides basic operations instructions for the unit.
Attention: where necessary, attention to some precautionary steps is signaled
with the attention symbol to the left.

Physical Device
The xMax BSN200-3S is housed in a standard rackmount 1U chassis. The dimensions
of the device are 19” x 10.19” x 1.75”. The device is shown in the following images:

AC Power Connector
AC Power: The BSN200-3S operates on 110V/220VAC, 50/60Hz and single-phase AC
power line. The device is connected to the AC power line using a standard 3-prongs
power connector. This is shown in Figure 4.
Figure 3: Power Connector and Rear Power Switch
The power switch on the rear end (near the power connector) is the main switch. This
switch is used to turn ON and turn OFF the device.
The device has a second toggle switch installed at the front of the device. This is shown
in the following image:
Figure 4: BSN200-3S Front View with Front Toggle Switch
Because access to the rear side is sometimes difficult in a typical rack mount installation,
the toggle switch in the front can also be used to turn the device ON and OFF.
To turn ON the BSN200, both the rear and front switch have to be in the ON
position (This is labeled ‘1’ on the switch). The BSN200 is turned OFF when
either of the switches is flipped to OFF position (labeled as’0’ on the switch).

Antenna Ports
The device has 4 antenna ports, 1 for each of the 3 sectors, and for 1 the GPS antenna.
“Antenna 1” must be connected to the antenna pointing South of the tower, “Antenna 2”
must be connected to the antenna pointing toward azimuth 60° and “Antenna 3” must be
connected to the antenna pointing toward azimuth 300°. The GPS antenna port must be
connected to a GPS antenna. The antenna ports are shown in Figure 6.
Figure 5: Antenna Ports
The impedance of the chassis mount BNC female connector is 50 Ohms. For proper
operation of this device, this connector should be connected to a 50 ohms coaxial cable
with BNC male connector. Any 50 ohms coaxial cable with male BNC connector on one
end and antenna on the other end can be used. However, the recommended coaxial
cable is LMR-900. The recommended antennas for 3 sectors are 900MHz 90° antennas
vertical with gain no more than 6dBi. The antenna for the GPS is not necessary at this
point. Additional details are included in xG’ Network Implementation guide. Please
contact your xG sales representative for access to this document.
Before turning ON the device, please connect the antennas using the
recommended coaxial cable to the chassis mount BNC connectors installed on
the rear of the unit. The cable and antenna acts like a load to the xMax BSN200-
3S. Never turn the unit ON without first installing the cable and antennas.

LEDs on the Ethernet Port
A 10/100Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet connector is installed on the rear of the BSN200 as
shown in the following image. The Ethernet Port is used to connect the Base Station to
the backhaul NW and the xMSC.

Powering ON the xMax BSN200-3S
Follow the following steps to turn on the device:
1- Toggle the front and rear switch in the OFF position.
2- Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna to the antenna ports.
3- Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet Port.
4- Connect the power cable to the AC (110V main line), first on the BSN side, then
into the outlet
5- Flip the rear power switch in the ON position.
6- Flip the front power switch in the ON position.
At this time, you will hear fans running inside the device and you will notice the left most
LED turn green. The device is powered ON.
Powering OFF the xMax BSN200-3S
Follow the following steps to turn OFF the device:
1- Flip the front toggle switch in the OFF position. The fans inside the unit will stop
and the Green LED (the left most LED in the Status Indicator) will be changed to
RED. The device is turned OFF.
2- To turn off the power supply, flip the rear toggle switch in the OFF position. The
RED led will turn OFF, indicating the device is completely turned OFF.
