Sprint Magic Box Gold User Guide

Note: Please refer to the included Quick Start Guide to find best location and how to install the

Sprint Magic Box Gold.

Note: The optimal window for the Sprint Magic Box Gold is the side of the building with a direct line

of sight to Sprint’s nearest cell tower

Note:

 Follow the instructions on the display to finish the initial setup.
 The display screen takes approx. 1.5 sec to refresh. There is no need to press more firmly

or repeatedly.

Note: After 1 minute, the unit will automatically commence the test, with a 30 sec countdown timer

Note: After 1 minute (in good RF conditions - otherwise after 5 minutes) the unit will automatically

commence the installation, with a 30 sec countdown timer.

1 Installation

The Sprint Magic Box Gold unit is placed on the windowsill to receive the signal from outdoors and
boost it indoors. The following steps instruct on the proper positioning and setup of the Sprint Magic
Box Gold unit for optimal service.

1.1 Unpacking and Checking the Unit

1. Carefully unpack the Sprint Magic Box Gold unit from the box.

2. Inspect the unit for any damage and check that all the accessories are in the box.

3. Remove the Power Supply (included) from the packaging.

1.2 Finding the Best Location

 Choose an appropriate window at the suitable side of a building is vital to get the best

performance

 The Magic Box Gold has a built-in capability to survey the 4G signal from suitable provider

cell towers & also use GPS to accurately determine its location. It can do this for multiple
windows in the same or on multiple floors, ideally in all four directions of the building.

o Connect the power supply to the underside of the AU 587 and place it at the 1st

window (ideally in the middle of the window).

o Wait for the RF survey to complete
o Go to the next window and repeat the survey process
o Test as many windows as possible in all four directions as possible
o Once you finish testing all locations, select the best location out of all surveyed

locations and press “Install Here” in the location

DUG01476-SP Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 2

Sprint Magic Box Gold User Guide

Note: Choose windows that are in close proximity to an available power supply outlet.

Note: When deploying the unit on a window with a window frame, the unit should be raised to

prevent a “windowsill shadow”.

2 Initial Setup

The Magic Box Gold turns on automatically when the power supply unit is connected to the underside
of the unit.

1. Place the Magic Box Gold on a suitable windowsill and verify that the unit’s rear side is
positioned against the glass as close to the glass as possible (as in the figure 1 below).

Figure 1: Place on Windowsill

2. Shortly the following will be displayed while the unit is starting up.

Figure 2: Start-up Screen

DUG01476-SP Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 3

Sprint Magic Box Gold User Guide

Note: This process can take between 5 and 15 minutes.

Note: This window provides sufficient signal quality, other factors such as proximity to power outlet

might influence you to try another window position if needed.

3. After few minutes the device starts measuring the signal. Wait while the service strength is
measured. The Setup Wizard will indicate when to move the unit.

The following is displayed

Figure 3: Testing Signal

After several minutes, after testing is complete you will be given the option to accept the current

location or test another location. At every test position you can choose to “Continue” to proceed with

the installation, or “Retry” to test next window for better signal quality.
The following screen(s) will help you determine the final installation location.

Figure 4: Scan Rating: High

4. Check the results and reposition if required.

DUG01476-SP Airspan Commercial and Internal Use 4

Sprint Magic Box Gold User Guide

Note: Test another window for a better signal quality, if possible.

Note: Check the results, compare and place the unit on the best window position if needed.

Figure 5: Scan Rating: Medium

5. Check the results and reposition if required.

Figure 6: Scan Rating: Low

6. Once you have determined the correct window placement based on the rankings move the
Sprint Magic Box Gold to the selected window and connect to the power outlet. The device
will start again, showing the startup screen.

12.1.2 Digital Display (Touch Screen)

The Sprint Magic Box Gold unit has 5.17” digital touch display to allow user to interact with the device
and obtain following information:

 Power on
 RN-UE status
 eNB status
 Number of end user(s) connected
 Location (GPS)
 Macro received signal level
 Best Location Indicator / Installation Instructions

The user interface provides information to enable the end user to determine the optimal location for
the Sprint Magic Box Gold operation.

12.1.3 eSIM Card

The Sprint Magic Box Gold provides an embedded eSIM and a standard SIM card holder for the
operator-provided SIM, (installed during assembly).

12.1.4 USB Ports

Two USB 2.0 High-Speed host ports on the side of the unit. Each port supports charging of 1.5A +
data.

12.1.5 Ethernet Port

RJ45 - 1 Gbps - Located on bottom of unit

12.2 Synchronization

The Sprint Magic Box Gold contains an integrated GPS receiver, which is used for location timing and
synchronization.

12.2.1 Synchronization Compliance

The Sprint Magic Box Gold meets the synchronization requirements as they are defined in TS 36.104
and TS 36.133.

Inter eNodeB synchronization is supported to enable both 1PPS frame synchronization for TDD
interference avoidance and frequency synchronization for ICI avoidance.

12.2.2 Frequency Accuracy

For Frequency stability, the same source is used for RF frequency and data clock generation. The
modulated carrier frequency of the eNodeB has an accuracy of ±0.05ppm observed over a period of
one subframe (1ms).

12.3 Phase Accuracy

Phase accuracy, (required for TD-LTE interference coordination and for both TD-LTE and FDD-LTE
when considering MBSFN or ABS) is 1µs or better.

14 Hardware Security

14.1 Factory Generation of Device Key

Each device has a private key and associated certificate which is used to authenticate itself when
initiating communications. This private key is generated in the factory, and so is the corresponding
vendor certificate. This capability necessary in order to support large scale plug and play
deployments.

This device key is stored on the Sprint Magic Box Gold to allow it to authenticate to the network. If the
private key is compromised, then the device can be masqueraded by an attacker towards the
operator’s core network. Therefore, it is stored in an encrypted form.

In later releases a device-specific key will be introduced, this is a random number blown into on-SoC
eFuses during manufacture. This offers two points of additional protection namely: the key is not
discoverable by decompiling the code (an attacker will need to run code on the device in order to read
the eFuses); and the key can only be used to obtain the private key of a single device (because each
encryption key is unique).

14.2 eSIM

The system provides an embedded SIM (eSIM) to the board instead of using a removable SIM; this
removes the temptation to steal the SIM. Additionally, the operator can ensure that these SIMs can
only be used with the Relay APN, which would make them unusable with an ordinary mobile phone
(because relay traffic uses nested GTP-U tunnels).

14.3 Unused Port Security

Unused interfaces on the SoCs within Sprint Magic Box Gold are protected against attack by ensuring
that the corresponding pins are not connected to tracks on the circuit board. In addition to this
hardware protection the device drivers within the SoCs which service these ports are disabled.

14.4 Tamper Detection

Simple tamper detection is provided in Sprint Magic Box Gold by the use of tamper-evident labels.
Hardware Ready for Secure Boot
The SoCs within the Sprint Magic Box Gold unit supports secure boot. This is to be enabled by a

software download in a later release. Enabling secure boot ensures that only trusted software will run
on the SoCs internal to Sprint Magic Box Gold.

Sprint Magic Box Gold supports FCAPS capabilities including the following:

 Configuration Management
 Inventory Management
 Fault Management
 Performance Management
 Software Management
 Diagnostics

Sprint Magic Box Gold is managed via remotely via Airspan’s EMS (Netspan) using SNMP and
supports management using a default IP address. The EMS is automatically detected via plug and
play procedures implemented in the Sprint Magic Box Gold and Netspan software.

Airspan’s Netspan element management system supports management of all Airspan products.
