ProST Hardware Installation User Guide Page 17 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00111 Rev K 2 System Overview The ProST is an outdoor WiMAX-based customer premises equipment (CPE). The ProST, which uses Intel Corporation’s Pro/Wireless 5116 broadband interface, connects IP-enabled devices directly to WiMAX networks. Designed for the residential and small enterprise (SME) markets, the device supports high-speed broadband Internet through a Fast Ethernet connection. The ProST ensures high service availability at enhanced ranges, operating in both LOS and NLOS propagation environments. ProST uses the OFDM signaling format, providing non line-of-sight (NLOS) performance. ProST utilizes QAM, QPSK, and BPSK modulation technologies by modulating transmitted signals and demodulating the received signals where the original digital message can be recovered. The use of adaptive modulation allows ProST to optimize throughput, yielding higher throughputs while also covering long distances. ProST models support IP services at speeds of up to 37 Mbit/s over-the-air gross rates over channel bandwidths of up to 10 MHz in both uplink and downlink. ProST is available in numerous ETSI frequency bands, operating in FDD and TDD modes in numerous channels, see: 1ProST Frequency Ranges and 1ProST-2 Frequency Ranges. ProST is also available in a multi-mode model (ProST-2) based on the Intel ® Rosedale chipset which supports both TDD and FDD. Note: ProST-2 is presently available for frequencies, 3.4–3.6 and 3.6–3.8 only. ProST can be deployed with a built-in, integral antenna or alternatively, with an external antenna to provide better radio coverage. Requiring professional installation, the ProST is installed outdoors on a pole or wall, enabling optimal positioning for best reception with the BS. Outdoor mounting of the ProST is made possible due to ProST's built-in lightning surge protection feature (complying with Surge Immunity standard EN 61000-4-5). ProST is powered through the SDA-1 Type II (referred henceforth as SDA-1) adapter which interfaces with the subscriber's LAN. ProST connects to the SDA-1's 100BaseT interface port by a standard 100-meter CAT-5 cable. The SDA-1 also provides the ProST with 10 to 52 VDC power supply. However, as an alternative to these adapters, Airspan offers three optional integrated LAN switches: • SDA-4S Type II: A standard integrated LAN switch, providing four 10/100BaseT interfaces with the subscriber’s computers. This model is ideal for SOHO implementation. • SDA-4S/VL Type II: Provides VLANs between ports and the ProST, ensuring privacy between LAN users of the different ports. For example, all users connected to Port 1 do not "see" users connected to Port 2. This model is ideal for multi-tenant (VLAN security) implementation. • SDA-4S/DC Type II: integrated LAN switch, providing power and four 10/100BaseT interfaces and especially designed for implementation where available power supply is DC (10 to 52 VDC), e.g. from a solar panel. This model provides regulated –48 VDC power to the BSR. All SDA types work in VLAN Pass-through mode. Tagged and Untagged packets are forwarded transparently by the SDA. The SDA has no VLAN ID configuration per port. ProST can be managed by Airspan's Web-based management system using standard Web browsers or alternatively, by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using standard and proprietary MIBs. In addition, external third-party management systems such as HP OpenView can also manage the ProST using these MIBs. Note: For management refer to WiMAX Web-based Management for Subscriber Stations User Guide.

ProST Hardware Installation User Guide Page 23 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00111 Rev K 2.4.2 ProST Protocol Stack Figure 7 - Protocol Stack 2.4.3 Theory of Operation For basic operation, the ProST requires no initial configuration--simply plug and play. Configuration is automatically performed over the air by the BS. The ProST is preconfigured by the operator at the BS (using Netspan) with service flow parameters such as the maximum information rate, the committed information rate, the maximum latency. These configuration parameters are stored in Netspan's database corresponding to the ProST's MAC address. Before any communication between ProST and BS can occur, the ProST must be positioned in a location that provides sufficient RF reception. To join a network, the ProST needs to perform a few tasks. First, the "Network Entry" process (defined in 802.16-2004) begins with the ProST scanning for a downlink (DL) signal from the base station, and then synchronizing to the DL channel. Thereafter the ProST can start the process of initial ranging, which alerts the BS to the presence of the ProST and establishment of management connections to obtain basic and primary management connection IDs (CID) from the BS. After the CIDs have been obtained, the ProST commences authorization and key exchange. In the final stage, the ProST registers at the base station before obtaining the IP address, time of day and the configuration file. During Network entry, the ProST sends the BS its MAC address. The BS then accesses Netspan's database (via SNMP) and checks whether the ProST's MAC address appears in the DB. If it locates the MAC address, the BS retrieves all the ProST's configuration parameters (service flows) from the DB and downloads them to the ProST device.
ProST Hardware Installation User Guide Page 24 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00111 Rev K 3 Installation Prerequisites Before installing your ProST, read the following to ensure that: ¾ 1No items are missing from the package ¾ 1Minimum computer requirements are fulfilled ¾ 1You have the required installation tools ¾ 1Radio Site planning has been performed 3.1 Package Contents Examine the ProST shipping container. If you notice any damage, or missing items as listed in the Packing List, immediately notify the carrier that delivered the unit and contact a Airspan representative. The ProST kit should contain the following items: ¾ ProST ¾ DB15-to-RJ45 adapter for plugging into the ProST's 15-pin D-type port (with pins 7 & 8 not connected), replaces previous adapter. ¾ Wall-mounting kit: • Mounting bracket • 2 x M10 x 1.5 hex head screws - 20mm length • 2 x M10 hex nuts • 2 x M10 plain washers • 2 x M10 spring lock washers Note: The standard ProST kit does not include pole-mounting accessories. For pricing and ordering of pole-mounting accessories, please contact your nearest Airspan dealer. Note: The standard ProST kit does not include the SDA-1 Type II adapter. For pricing and ordering of the SDA-1 Type II adapter, please contact your nearest Airspan dealer. 3.2 Minimum PC Requirements Ensure that your computer provides an Ethernet interface such as a Network Interface Card (that provides an RJ-45 port). Caution: Only subscriber terminal equipment (e.g. computer modem port) that is designed for full compliance with TNV-1 telecommunication network can be connected to the SDA-1. Warranty of Airspan's equipment shall be made void if the SDA-1 is connected to a computer that is not compliant with TNV-1. 3.3 Required Tools The following tools are required to install the ProST unit: ¾ Crimping tool for crimping CAT-5e cables to RJ-45 connectors. ¾ Cable stripping tool
ProST Hardware Installation User Guide Page 25 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00111 Rev K ¾ Wall Mounting: • drill bits • 4 x wall anchors • 4 x screws • Philips head screwdriver • Flat-blade screwdriver • A/F open ended spanner ¾ Crimping tool for crimping RF cable to N-type connector (only relevant when implementing external antenna). ¾ Torque wrench for N-type connectors (only relevant when implementing external antenna). Note: Airspan does not provide screws and wall anchors for mounting the ProST to the wall. The screw size depends on the structure of the building to which the ProST is to be attached. When selecting screw sizes, consideration must be given to the weight of the ProST and load that may be induced in windy conditions. 3.4 Radio Site Planning Proper site selection and planning before installing your ProST will ensure a successful deployment of your Airspan WiMAX system. Site planning includes the following main considerations: ¾ Minimum obstructions (e.g. buildings) in the radio path between base station and the ProST. ¾ Mount radios as high as possible to avoid obstructions in the wireless path. ¾ Check possibility of future obstructions such as plans to erect buildings and trees that may grow tall enough to obstruct the wireless path. ¾ Align antenna for maximizing received signal strength (RSS). ¾ Consider nearby sources of interference that could degrade performance of radio. Mount radios as far from sources of interference as possible. ¾ Ensure base station and ProST are within maximum coverage range of reception. ¾ Maximum standard CAT-5e cable length connecting the outdoor ProST to the indoor SDA is 100 meters. 3.4.1 Minimal Radio Path Obstructions Airspan WiMAX radios communicate by propagation of waves. Thus, ensure minimum obstructions (from, e.g. buildings and trees) in the radio path between base station and ProST. 3.4.2 Fresnel Zone Clearance It is advisable to have a sufficient open space around the radio path to minimize blocking of the radio beam. A minimum of 60% of the first Fresnel Zone of the path should be clear of obstructions. Despite a clear line-of-sight, objects close enough to the transmission path may cause attenuation in signal strength and an increase in signal interference. Objects with reflective surfaces that seem relatively far away, may still encroach on the Fresnel Zone, and cause interference.
ProST Hardware Installation User Guide Page 26 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00111 Rev K Figure 8 - Fresnel Zones Fresnel Zones define the amount of clearance required from obstacles. These zones are composed of concentric ellipsoid areas surrounding the straight-line path between two antennas. Thus, the zone affects objects to the side of the path and those directly in the path. The first Fresnel Zone is the surface containing every point for which the distance from the transmitter to any reflection point on the surface point and then onto the receiver is one-half wavelength longer than the direct signal path. One method for clearing the Fresnel Zone is by increasing the antenna height. The first Fresnel Zone radius is calculated by the following equation: Figure 9 - Fresnel formula Figure 10 - Fresnel Zones Typically, at least 60% clearance of the first Fresnel Zone is considered as LOS. To ensure the ground does not enter into the first Fresnel Zone, both antennas (i.e. at Base Station and subscriber) must be mounted at least 0.6 x r meters above ground level (or clutter level). Examples, using the formula above,
ProST Hardware Installation User Guide Page 27 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00111 Rev K ¾ For a link of 4 km, at 3.5 GHz produces a first Fresnel Zone radius clearance of about 9.3 meters, meaning the antennas should be mounted at a height of at least 5.6 meters (60% of 9.3 meters) above ground level (or clutter level). ¾ For a link of 4 km, at 4.9 GHz produces a first Fresnel Zone radius clearance of about 7.8 meters, meaning the antennas should be mounted at a height of at least 4.7 meters (60% of 7.8 meters) above ground level (or clutter level). 3.4.3 Radio Antenna Alignment Once the ProST is installed and aimed in the general direction of the base station, it is recommended to measure the received signal strength (RSS) to determine the signal strength received from the base station, and to precisely align the ProST for maximum signal strength. You need to orientate (up/down, left/right) the ProST until the maximum RSSI levels are achieved, and then secure the ProST. For viewing RSS values, see "Web-based Management" for standard alignment, for finer alignment, see 1RSSI LED Plug Adapter.

ProST Hardware Installation User Guide Page 34 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00111 Rev K 5 Mounting the ProST This section describes the mounting procedures for the 1ProST and the optional 1SDA-4S adapters. Caution: The ProST device is an outdoor radio unit and therefore, must only be mounted outdoors. Caution: Mount the ProST in an orientation such that its 15-pin D-type port (located on the bottom panel) faces downwards. This prevents rain water from settling on the port, and thereby, avoiding damage to the unit such as corrosion and electrical short-circuiting. The ProST offers two optional methods for outdoor mounting: ¾ 1Wall mounting ¾ 2Pole mounting For either mounting methods, the ProST provides mounting holes molded into its back panel for attaching the wall or pole-mounting brackets, as displayed in the figure below. Figure 16 - ProST- rear view Note: The standard ProST kit provides wall-mounting brackets. To pole mount the ProST, contact your nearest Airspan distributor for pricing and ordering of pole-mounting brackets. Note: A minimum of 3-meter separation is required between mounted ProSTs and existing customer radio equipment when transmitting on different sectors (see figure below). However, only a 1-meter separation is required between ProSTs when on the same sector and transmitting to the same base station radio without requiring shielding (see figure below). The figure below illustrates the minimum separation between mounted ProST's when transmitting on different sectors:
ProST Hardware Installation User Guide Page 35 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00111 Rev K Figure 17 - Mount separation The figure below illustrates the minimum separation between mounted ProST's when transmitting on the same sector: Figure 18 - Mount separation 1 5.1 Wall Mounting The ProST is wall mounted in two main stages: ¾ Attaching the mounting bracket to the ProST's mounting holes ¾ Attaching the mounting bracket (attached to the ProST) to the wall To wall mount the ProST: 1. Position the unassembled mounting bracket on the mounting surface (e.g. wall), and then use a pencil to mark the position of the four mounting holes.

Note: The maximum cable run between SDA-4S and ProST is 100 meters. Therefore, ensure the unit is mounted within reachable distance.
ProST Hardware Installation User Guide Page 44 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00111 Rev K 6 Network Cabling ProST interfaces with the subscriber's network through the IDU (i.e. typically the SDA-1 Type II, or optionally through the SDA-4S Type II, SDA-4S/VL Type II or SDA-4S/DC). The ProST also receives DC power from the IDU. This section describes the ProST network cabling: ¾ 2Connecting ProST to IDU ¾ 2Connecting IDU to a Computer 6.1 Connecting to IDU The ProST typically interfaces with the subscriber's network using the indoor SDA-1 Type II adapter. However, optional IDU adapters (SDA-4S Type II, SDA-4S/VL Type II or SDA-4S/DC) are offered that provide multiple LAN ports for interfacing with the subscriber's network. Note: Use CAT-5e unshielded cable only. 6.1.1 Connecting the SDA-1 Type II The ProST connects to the SDA-1 using a CAT 5Ee cable with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors on either end. The ProST provides a 15-pin D-type port for interfacing with the SDA-1. However, for allowing the use of RJ-45 connectors, your ProST kit includes a DB15-to-RJ45 adapter that can easily be attached to the ProST's 15-pin D-type port. The cable setup for ProST-to-SDA-1 connectivity is as follows: ¾ Cable: Straight-through CAT 5Ee Ethernet cable ¾ Connectors: • ProST: DB15-to-RJ45 adapter • CAT 5Ee cable with 8-pin RJ-45 male connectors on either end ¾ Connector pinouts: Figure 32 – Pinouts- ODU to IDU Note: The SDA-1 Type II is protected in the event power is inadvertently inserted to the radio port so as not to damage the Ethernet card.

ProST Hardware Installation User Guide Page 49 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00111 Rev K 6.2.2 Connecting the SDA-4S Type II, SDA-4S/VL Type II or SDA-4S/DC Type II The SDA-4S Type II, SDA-4S/VL Type II or SDA-4S/DC adapters (referred hereafter as SDA-4S) provide four RJ-45 (100BaseT) ports for interfacing with the subscriber's LAN network. The difference between these adapters is that the SDA-4S/VL supports VLAN functionality at the ports. The ports of the SDA-4S models support Auto Negotiation, allowing automatic configuration for the highest possible speed link (10BaseT or 100BaseT), and Full Duplex or Half Duplex mode. In other words, the speed of the connected device (e.g. PC) determines the speed at which packets are transmitted through the specific port. For example, if the device to which the port is connected is running at 100 Mbps, the port connection will transmit packets at 100 Mbps. Conversely, if the device to which the port is connected is running at 10 Mbps, the port connection will transmit packets at 10 Mbps In addition, the SDA-4S ports support MDI/MDI-X automatic crossover, allowing connection to straight-through or crossover CAT-5e cables. Therefore, these ports can be connected to either a hub (i.e. using crossover cables) or a PC (i.e. using straight-through cables). The cable setup for SDA-4S LAN connectivity is as follows: ¾ Cable: Straight-through (e.g. when connecting to PC) or crossover (i.e. when connecting to a hub) CAT 5e Ethernet cable ¾ Connectors: 8-pin RJ-45 at both ends ¾ Connector pinouts: • Straight-through cable (e.g. connecting to a PC) Table 13 - SDA-4S straight-through Pin Function 8-Pin RJ-45 1 Tx+ 2 Tx- 3 Rx+ 6 Rx- • Crossover cable (e.g. connecting to a hub) Table 14 - SDA-4S crossover Pin Function Pin Function 8-Pin RJ-45 1 Rx+ 3 Tx+ 2 Rx- 6 Tx- 3 Tx+ 1 Rx+ 6 Tx- 2 Rx-

ProST Hardware Installation User Guide Page 67 Commercial in Confidence UWB-D00111 Rev K 11 Connecting External Antenna The ProST model without a built-in antenna provides an N-type port for connecting a third-party external antenna. The addition of an external antenna allows greater RF sector coverage than the standard ProST built-in antenna model. The external antenna is typically implemented in scenarios where the ProST is deployed at relatively far distances from the base station. Caution: Before connecting the external antenna, ensure that the ProST is not connected to the power source. Caution: Before powering on the ProST, ensure that some type of equipment such as an antenna or an RF attenuator is connected to the N-type receptacle. This eliminates the risk of irreversibly damaging the ProST device. Caution: It is the responsibility of the person installing the ProST to ensure that only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden. Caution: The external antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Caution: The ProST and external antenna should be installed ONLY by experienced installation professionals who are familiar with the local building and safety codes and are licensed by the appropriate government authorities. Note: The ProST model that provides an N-type connector for attaching a third-party external antenna does not contain an internal, built-in antenna. Note: It is recommended that the same antenna polarization (i.e. horizontal or vertical) exists at both ends of the link (i.e. base station and subscriber site). The following lists the cable setup for attaching the external antenna: ¾ Cable: RF coaxial ¾ Connector: N-type male To connect a third-party external antenna to the ProST: 1. Connect the N-type male connector of the third-party antenna to the N-type receptacle located on the ProST's bottom panel (labeled ANTENNA), as displayed below.
