Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes installatio n guidelines for BreezeACC ESS II SU-R Sub s cribe r Units.
The BreezeACCESS Broadband Wireless Access system allows access service providers to
provide high-speed IP connectivity services to their subscribers. T o s upport IP-based s e rvices
effectively BreezeACCESS systems employ wireless packet data switching technology.
The BreezeACCESS II line of products uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum radios that
operate in Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode in the license free 2.4 – 2. 5 G Hz frequency range.
The SU-R line of Subscriber Units comprises compact units that are designed for indoor
installation. SU-R units are available in several models differing from each other in the type of
supported data networks and availability of voice service s as follows:
• SU-R-8D units support up to 8 Ethernet workstations / PCs (8 MAC addresses).
• SU-R-BD units provide a full bridge functionality supporting up to 512 MA C addres s e s.
• SU-R-8D1V support up to 8 Ethernet works tations / PCs and have an interface to a standard
telephone set.
SU-R units are available e ither with two 3 dBi omni antennas (A models) or with an indoor
wall/window mountable 7 dBi UNI-7 or UN I-8.5 dBi antenna w/integral cab le (-A7 models).

2. BASIC INSTALLATION
2.1 Packing List
The SU-R units are shipped with the following units and accessories. The exact packing list
varies depending on system configuration and ordered equipment.
• SU-R unit:
⇒ SU-R-A with 2 omni antenna s
or
⇒ SU-R-A7 unit
• An SMA adap te r (with SU-R-A7 units)
• UNI-7 or UNI-8.5 antenna with 3 m cable and a mounting kit (with the SU-R-A7 units)
• A power supply
• Wall mounting kit for the SU-R unit (two anchors and screws)
• An Ethernet cable (straight)
2.2 Other Required Items
The following items must be av aila ble for the installation
• An Ethernet cable (crossed) if the unit should be connected to a hub (the s traight Ethernet
cable s up plie d with the unit is intended for connecting it directly to a PC or to a hub’s uplink
port)
• A PC with terminal emulation program
• A monitor cable* for co nfiguration and testing via the Monitor inte rface
• Ins ta llatio n tools and materials
Items marke d with an as t erisk (*) are available from BreezeCOM.

Basic Installation
2.3 Installation Overview
Standard installation involves the following steps:
1. Verify that all components of the pack ing list, described in Section 2.1, are intact and verify
availability of the required items liste d in Section 2.2.
2. Ins ta ll the unit and antenna in optimal locations as de s c ribed in Sections 2. 4 a nd 2.5 and in
the instructions su pplie d with the antenna.
Note:
To avoi d drilling unnec essary holes, it is recommended to verify good connectivity wit h t he
base station prior to drilling holes in the locations intended for the SU-R unit and/or the
detached antenna.
3. Connect the antenna to the unit as desc ribe d in Section 2.6.
4. Connect the power supply and the user’s equipment to the unit as desc ribed in Section 2.7.
5. Configure the basic sys te m parameters as described in Section 3.
6. Align the antenna for optimal connectivity (A7 models) and configu re the Maximum Data
Rate if applicable, as described in Chapters 4 and 5.
7. Check the functionality of the unit as describe d in Chapter 6.
2.4 Installation Guidelines
This sec tion desc ribe s the installation guidelines and the various co nsiderations that must be
taken into account when planning the installa tion.
2.4. 1 Location of the Uni t
• The unit can be placed on a desktop or a shelf, or can be attached to a wall.
• The unit should be installed as neat as possible to the antenna (-A7 models). The RF cable
connecting the unit to the antenna should be as short as possible to guarantee minimum power
loss.
SU-R Installation Manual 3 BreezeACCESS II Series
Basic Installation
• Keep the units well away from sources of heat, such as radia tors , air-conditioners, etc.
2.4. 2 Location of the Antenna
• Any physical object in the path between two units can cause s ignal attenuation. Commo n
obstructions are buildings and trees. If a unit’s antenna is installed indoors , the walls and/or
windows between the two sites are physica l obs truc tions. If the antenna is positioned
outdoors, any buildings or other physical s tructure such as trees, mountains or other natural
geographic features higher than the antenna and situated in the path between the two sites can
constitute obs tructions.
• Insta ll indoor antenna s as c lose as pos s ible to a window (or wall if a window is not
accessible) facing the required direction. The UNI-7 or UNI-8.5 antenna may also be attached
to a fixed wind ow. Avoid metal obs tac le s s uc h as metal window frames or metal film antiglare windows in the trans mission path. Install outdoor antennas high enough to avoid any
obstacles , which ma y block the signal.
• Position the antennas c le ar of metal furniture and away from moving metal objects s uc h as
metal fans or doors.
2.4.3 Antenna Diversity
In a pplic atio ns where no multipath propagation is expected, a s ingle antenna is sufficient to ensure
good performance levels . However, in cas es where multipath propagation exists, BreezeCOM
recommends that two antennas be used. This takes advantage of space diversity capabilities. By
using two antennas per unit, the system can select the best antenna on a per-packet basis (every
seve ral milliseco nds).
Multipath propagation is to be e xpected when there are pote ntial reflectors be tween the Access
Unit and Subscriber Units. These reflectors may be buildings or moving objects such as airplanes
and motor vehicles. If this is the case, the radio signal does not travel in a straight line , but is
reflected or de flec ted off of the object, creating multiple propagation paths.
When installing a s ingle antenna , modify the transmit diversity option to either antenna 1 or
antenna 2, according to the antenna being used.
2.4.4 Antenna Polarization
Antenna pola rization must be the same at either end of the link. In mos t a pplic a tions, the preferred
orientation is ve rtical polarization. Above-ground propagation of the signal is better when it is
polarized vertically. For integral omni a ntennas (A model), make sure that the antennas are
