Choosing locations
When choosing locations, please note the following:
1. First choose the location for the indoor uni t:
– When choosing the location, n ote the s peci fied tem peratu re range o f th e indoo r
unit (see "Specifications" on page 23).
– The indoor unit is only suitable for indoor use.
– The indoor unit can be operate d e ithe r on a horizontal surface or m oun ted on a
wall. Always ma ke sure the conne ctions cann ot beco me loo se once th e syst em
has been put into service and check that the LEDs are clearly visible.
– Power supply:
Power is supplied to the Ci sco BWX360 WiMAX Ou tdo or Mode m via th e indoo r
unit. Therefore, the loc ation must be cl ose to a suitabl e mains connec tion (cable
length of the supplied power supply unit).
– Wall duct:
T o connec t to the outdoor modem, th e corresponding Ethernet c able must be fed
through the wall to the ou tside of the buildin g. It must be po ssible to make a suit-
able wall duct at or close to the in door unit.
Please note that the maximum permitted cable length is 50 m.
– PC or network:
Establishing a connection between the indoor unit and a PC or network-switch
should ideally be possible from the location via the Ethernet cable. If the PC is
moved from its original place, the indoor unit should still be able to be reached
simply by using standard cable lengths.
2. Please note the following when setting up the antenna mast/modem:
– There should not be any obstructions (walls, trees etc.) in front of the antenna.
The best results will be obtained if the outdoor modem is in sight of the WiMAX
base station. If necessary, you can als o reflect the radi o waves off neighbo uring
buildings.
– The antenna mast must be structurally secure. Check how secure the va rious
attachments are.
– The antenna mast must be within reach of the cable. Ideally, the Ethernet c able
should be protecte d outsid e (from frost, su n, unauthori sed and mechan ical influ ences etc.).
– The antenna mast should be positioned near a lightning conductor. A suitable
lightning conductor must be installed where necessary.

Setting up the antenna mast
Information on how to install the antenna mast is not include d in these installation
instructions . Ple as e ob se rve all the safety provisions and other notes contained in the
assembly ins tructio ns fo r the a ntenna mast . In p ar ticular, make s ure the anten na ma st
has suffic ient load capacity . If you are installing the ma st on the roof, make sure the roof
is fully sealed again af terw ar ds.
If necessary, you can attach the mast brackets to the mast when you install it.
Protecting the mast against lightning
Preparation
◆ The outdoor modem is not designed to withstand being struck directly by lightning
and must be protected accordingly. The antenna must therefore be installed in
areas that are protected against lightning (Lightning Protection Zone 0B). The corresponding separation distance (IEC 62305) must be complied with.
Earthing (groundi ng) and lightn ing pro tectio n work ma y onl y be ca rried ou t by el ectricians specifically qualified for such work.
◆ The appropriate earth ing (groundi ng) clamp s must be used to cr eate an equ ipoten-
tial bonding betwee n a cable shield an d an equipotentia l bonding bar that co mplies
with regulations (for sources see "Earthing (gounding) clamps" on page 25).

Connecting the earthing (grounding) cable to the outdoor modem
Make sure you grou nd the metal casing of the out door modem accord ing to the inst ructions.
1. Undo or remove the M5 earthing (grounding) screw on the modem casing.
2. Attach the cable lug at the end of the earthing (grounding) cable.
Make sure when you do thi s that the cable lug canno t come loose. You can ensure
this, for example, b y crimpin g it twice (on ce on the fle x and again on the insu lation)
or by applying an appropriately designed shrink tubing which covers the cable lug
and the insulation.
3. Attach the cable lug to the casing with the M5 earthing (grounding) screw.
Make sure that the screwed connection cannot come loose. To ensure this, use a
toothed contact disc (not supplied), which you fit between the cable lug and the
earthing (grounding) screw.
The cable lug is not provided. Only use tin-plated cable lugs with eyelet
(available from your retailer).
DO NOT screw the earthing (gro unding) cab le directly to the met al casing
of the device, as this could lead to corrosion between the cable and the
casing.

to register with a base station. Registrati on with t he base s tation m ay be su ccessful
immediately. If not, registration will take place when the Cisco BWX360 WiMAX
Outdoor Modem is being configured (see "Connecting to the WiMAX network and
the Internet" on page 19)
Only use the Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem with the supplied
power supply unit.
Part number: C39280-Z4-C584
Input: 100-240 V, 0.95 A AC
Output: 56 V, 0.55 A DC
The connection technology between the outdoor modem and the
indoor unit complies with the "PoE" standard. This means the DC
power is supplied via the Ethernet cable
(Pins 4/5 = Power +, Pins 7/8 = Power - )
The DC voltage supplied to the indoor unit is 56 V with a maximum
deviation of 4%.
As part of the standard, a self-test is performed to check the voltage
between the connected devices is correct. The indoor unit only
releases its supply voltage once the outdoor modem and the indoor
unit have accepted the correct voltage.
³ If the activation is not successful, check whether the connections
have been correctly assembled.

Connecting to the WiMAX network and the Internet
If there is a connec tion between the PC or lapto p and the out door modem, the Interne t
connection must be configured and a radio connection must be established with the
base station. You do this in the Basic Setup Wiza r d.
1. Click the Basic Setup Wizard tab.
2. Click Next.
3. If you need help for a particular page, click the question mark button.
Entering the access data for the WiMAX network
On this page you enter the data for authentication of your device on the WiMAX base
station. You will need the access data supplied by your WiMAX operator for this.
³ Enter the access data and click Next.
Setting up Internet access
To allow users in y ou r loc al ne twork ac ces s to th e In tern et, s et u p th e In tern et c onn ec tion of your device using the information supplied by your Internet provider.
³ Enter the access data and click Next.
Adjusting the antenna
1. Turn your Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem towards the base station.
2. Click Next.
Establishing a radio connection with a WiMAX base station
The Basic Setup Wizard now scans the frequencies. This establishes an initial radio
connection with a WiMAX base station.
The frequency scan starts automatically. A progress bar indicates how far the frequency scan has already progressed. In addition you will see in the Remaining time
area roughly how much time is still needed for the complete scan. Depending on how
the Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Out door Modem was preconfigured by the provider , the first
scan to establish a radio connection can take several minutes.
During the scan, the antenna must not be moved; this is the only way to
guarantee a complete scan with the current antenna alignment.

As soon as a radio connection has been established with a WiMAX base station,
the scan will end. The progress bar is fully filled in and the display in the Remaining
time area jumps to 0 seconds.
³ If the scan was s uc ce ss ful , c ont inu e re adi ng from "Precisely aligning t he ant enn a"
on page 21.
If the scan was not successful:
The integrated antenna is directional. This means it must be pointing roughly in the
direction of a WiM AX base st ation in o rder to est ablish a rad io connec tion. The ac cess
data must also have been entered correctly.
1. First check your access data by going back to the WiMAX configuration page.
2. Turn the modem approx . 20° and rest art the sc an. You may need to turn the an tenna several times.
The best results will be obtained if the outdoor
modem is in sight of the WiMAX base station.
If a line of sight is not possible, you can reflect
the radio waves off neighbouring buildings. For
this, direct the antenna at the building it is to
reflect off and not at the base station.

Precisely aligning the antenna
Once you have established a wireless connection to a WiMAX base station, align the
antenna preci sely using th e Basic S etup Wizard. F or this it c an be useful if an assi stant
follows the ali gnment on the PC. Please ask the c ustomer f or support. I f this is not p ossible, read "Aligning the antenna with the acoustic response" on page 21.
1. Turn the antenna step by step and hav e the ass is t an t w atc h th e co nn ection status
on the PC.
2. When a connection to a WiMAX base station has been established, the assistant
clicks on Next to make fine adjustments to the antenna.
The quality of the radi o conn ect ion ca n be se en in th e Signal quality area. The signal
quality bar graph indicates the quality of the connection. You will also see the signal
quality shown as a percentage as well as an assessment of the connection quality:
³ Turn the anten na a little at a time and have the ass istant observe the signa l strength
display. Use this to move the antenna to the position with the best signal strength.
Excellent The wireless connection is at the highest level.
Very good The wireless connection is very go od. You can attempt to
improve the connection still further by turning the antenna
slightly; however, this is not necessary.
Good The wireless connection is already good. Turn the antenna
slightly to further improve the connection.
Sufficient The wireless con nection has bee n establi shed. T urn the ante nna
a little at a time to improve the connection.
No connection If you have turne d or mov ed the an tenna too far the wi reless c on-
nection to the WiMAX base station will break up. Return the
antenna to the position it was in when the connection was successfully established. The wireless connection to the WiMAX
base station will be restored immediately.
Aligning the antenna with the acoustic response
If neither you nor the assistant are able to check the signal strength on
screen while the antenna is being aligned, you can monitor it via a radio
system. To do this you wil l need, for example , two cordless ph ones, mobile
phones or radio devices:
1. Activate Audible feedback on the configuration PC.
2. Establish an internal connectio n between the two handsets an d switch
on the loudspeaker on both devices.
3. Leave one handset next to the configuration PC and carry the other
with you (belt clip).
You will now be informed of the signal strength by means of beeps. The
closer together the sequence of beeps, the better the connection quality.
