Chapter 1: Introduction
System Components
AirMAX system components are:
•
Base Transceiver Station (BTS): transmits to and
from one or more customer premises (CPE)
systems.
•
Customer Premises Equipment (CPE): transmits
from a local customer site to and from a BTS system.
Note:
Both CPE and BTS systems are functionally
similar in that they are made up of an antenna, controller
card, radio modem and power supply (items contained in
the ODU and Power Injector units). When we discuss a
BTS or CPE system therefore, remember that it consists
of an ODU and a Power Injector.

ODU: Outdoor Unit and antenna. The ODU is a
ruggedized box, often antenna-mast mounted, that
houses a radio modem and connects to an antenna.
It has a special Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) cable
that passes both data and power to/from the Power
Injector. The radio modem and circuit board inside
have non-volatile memory and a standalone CPU
that communicates with other systems. Remote
management software configures and controls the
ODU.
•
Power Injector: This unit is placed inside the
customer’s facility and connects the site’s 10/
100Base-T LAN to the ODU. It also functions as an
AC adapter that passes power to the ODU—along
with data—over the PoE ethernet cable.

Product Overview
The Power Injector has two parts, an AC adapter
power module that plugs into a 100/240VAC 5060Hz source and a small module (called the power
injector) that has the two RJ-45 ethernet
connections (LAN and ODU) and connects to the
power module.

is fully compliant with SNMP v2
using the Malibu enterprise MIB and the standard
MIB II object library.
Distributed management technology:
As the system
grows from a few base stations to as many as
hundreds of base stations, expensive, highperformance, single-point-of-failure servers can be
avoided by distributing SMS functions over a
number of low-cost servers
SLA (service level agreement) facilitation:
SMS
offers complete flexibility in service definition,
provisioning, and monitoring. In addition, tools are
provided to empower the service provider to
customize SLAs to meet unique subscriber needs,
and to meet the requirements of the operator’s
specific business model. Jitter and latency are all
configurable characteristics of each Service
Definition Suite. These definitions can be applied
on a per-flow basis.
Intelligent provisioning:
resource management is
efficiently accomplished with constant monitoring of
current service level agreements and available
system resources, preventing unwanted oversubscription of guaranteed services. In this way,
new subscribers and their services can be added to
the network with the assurance that existing service
level agreements will continue to be fully supported.

MAXimum IP (QoS):
immediate, dramatic increase in their bottom line
due to Malibu’s QoS implementation in AirMAX.
MAXimum IP accomplishes this through two
primary means. First, the efficiency of the system is
increased resulting in a subscriber throughput
improvement compared to similar systems without
MAXimum IP. Second, MAXimum IP offers
considerably more than just minimum and
maximum bandwidth control per CPE and per
subscriber behind the CPE, a claim no other
vendor can make today. MAXimum IP also gives
the service provider the ability to control jitter and
latency as well as enabling additional high value
services to be sold and supported.

Installation
When preparing to install an AirMAXTM system, first
ensure you’ve gathered all the information needed:
• Analyze environmental and facility requirements and
determine antenna, ODU, and Power Injector
mounting locations. Ensure locations offer optimum
direction for the terrain.
• Temperature limits at ODU mounting locations
should be within this range: -30
• Temperatures at Power Injector mounting locations
should meet normal office or home conditions.
• Decide on antenna mounting specifics: do you want
to pole or wall-mount the ODU? Locate antenna as
high as practical for best coverage.

• Ensure antennas between communicating AirMAX
systems are within a 12.4 mile range (20Km). You
can have up to 100 subscribers per CPE and up to
100 CPEs per sector (with 500 subscribers per
sector).
• Ensure that the overall Ethernet cabling between the
ODU, Power Injector, and customer LAN connection
(router/switch/etc.) is less than 300 feet total. If you
need a longer distance, you can insert signal
conditioning equipment between the Power Injector
and customer equipment. The PoE cables supplied
by Malibu are from 25 feet to 250 feet in length.
Caution: when making actual cable connections at the
time of installation, do not confuse the ethernet cable from

the customer’s LAN to the Power Injector—which is data
only and does not have power—and the PoE Ethernet
cable that runs between the ODU and Power Injector—
which does have power. These connections are made at
the Power Injector, which has two RJ45 connectors, and it
is possible to plug in the wrong cable and damage
equipment. Always check which cable you’re plugging in
when making Ethernet connections to the Power Injector.
The correct Power Injector Ethernet connections are shown
later in this Chapter. This manual illustrates the
connections as the procedures are given.
• Ensure the workers installing the ODU and antennas
are experienced installation professionals familiar
with all local building codes and safety regulations,
and who are licensed for the type of work being
performed.
Installation Overview
After choosing installation locations, you’re ready for
physical and electrical installation (explained in this
chapter). Later in Chapter 3 we explain how to
configure the system via web browser. To help give you
an overview, let’s summarize the complete installation
procedure to install an AirMAX system:
Installation and Configuration
Installation Overview
1. First, install the physical BTS system hardware,
including ODU, Power Injector, antenna, and
cabling.
2. Connect a PC to the Power Injector with a
crossover cable or LAN connection, set the IP of
the PC to a value compatible with the BTS, and
then configure BTS software from a web browser
by entering the IP address of the BTS.
3. From the same PC connected to the BTS, add
the CPEs you wish to communicate with the BTS.
4. With the BTS now installed and configured, you’ll
next install the physical CPE system hardware,
including ODU, Power Injector, antenna and
cabling.
5. Now, just as the BTS was configured, you’ll then
connect a PC to the CPE’s Power Injector, set the
IP of the PC to a value compatible with the CPE,
and then configure the CPE’s radio modem. As
on the BTS, you’ll enter the default factory IP
address of the CPE into the PC browser to
connect to it. .
6. Finally, you’ll test the wireless communication
between BTS and CPE using a PC attached to
one system (BTS or CPE).

Now that you have an overview, let’s begin the physical
installation of CPE and BTS components—antenna, ODU
and Power Injector units, and cabling through the
remainder of this chapter (steps 1 and 4 in our previous
overview).
In Chapter 3 we’ll go through all the detailed steps of
configuration.
Mounting the BTS or CPE Antenna
The antenna supplied for use with ODUs can be omnidirectional or directional. Positioning of BTS
omnidirectional antennas is somewhat flexible. However,
care should be taken to position it where topography or
buildings do not impede transmission. CPE directional
antennas require much more care in mounting since they
must be directed toward the BTS antenna. Generally you
should always plan for a line of sight position between
antennas where possible.
Mount the antenna clear of obstructions that may affect
performance. Ensure that the antenna is mounted so that
people will be at least 2 meters away during system
operation. Pole mounting of antennas is preferable to wall
mounting. If you wall mount the antenna, you must
ensure that people on the other side of the wall will
remain 2 meters from the antenna when the system is in
operation. You may not co-locate the antenna with other
antennas.
Installation and Configuration
Mounting the BTS or CPE
To mount the antenna, follow the relevant steps for
omnidirectional or directional antennas on the following
pages.
13
Omnidirectional Antenna Mounting
1. Install a customer-supplied mast of 1 to 2 inches
(2.54 to 5.8cm) in diameter. Position the mast for
true vertical using a level. Brace the mast as
necessary so that it remains stationary in
expected wind conditions.
2. Locate the antenna mounting illustration on this
page or on the next few pages, which
corresponds to the antenna you purchased.
Follow the instructions in the illustration to mount
the antenna to the mast.
3. Slide the antenna cable up through the antenna
base or bracket(s) as directed in the illustration
and ensure all screws and mounting hardware
are tightened securely.
