General Note

Regulatory Compliance

This system has achieved Type Approval in various countries around the world. This means
that the system has been tested against various local technical regulations and found to
comply. The frequency bands in which the system operates may be “unlicensed” and in these
bands, the system can be used provided it does not cause interference.

FCC - Compliance

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible

for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Warning

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the outdoor
antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), only those
antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other
than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden by FCC rules 47
CFR part 15.204.

Warning

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when configuring the
radio in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), the Tx power is set
according to the values for which the product is certified. The use of Tx
power values other than those, for which the product is certified, is
expressly forbidden by FCC rules 47 CFR part 15.204.

Caution

Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced
installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety
codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate
government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void the product
warranty and may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and
financial liabilities. Resellers or distributors of this equipment are not liable
for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation
of outdoor units or antennas. The installer should configure the output
power level of antennas according to country regulations and antenna type.

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual

Release 3.1.00

Warning

• Where Outdoor units are configurable by software to Tx power values
other than those for which the product is certified, it is the responsi­bility of the Professional Installer to restrict the Tx power to the certi­fied limits.

• This product was tested with special accessories - indoor unit (IDU or
PoE), FTP CAT-5e shielded cable with sealing gasket, 12 AWG
grounding cable - which must be used with the unit to insure compli­ance.

Indoor Units comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:

(1) These devices may not cause harmful interference.
(2) These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.

Canadian Emission Requirements for Indoor Units

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Cet appareil numẻrique de la classe B est conforme ả la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

China MII

Operation of the equipment is only allowed under China MII 5.8GHz band regulation
configuration with EIRP limited to 33 dBm (2 Watt).

India WPC

Operation of the equipment is only allowed under India WPC GSR-38 for 5.8GHz band
regulation configuration.

Unregulated

In countries where the radio is not regulated the equipment can be operated in any regulation
configuration, best results will be obtained using Universal regulation configuration.

Safety Practices

Applicable requirements of National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70; and the National
Electrical Safety Code, ANSI/IEEE C2, must be considered during installation.

NOTES:

1. A Primary Protector is not required to protect the exposed wiring as long as the exposed
wiring length is limited to less than or equal to 140 feet, and instructions are provided to
avoid exposure of wiring to accidental contact with lightning and power conductors in
accordance with NEC Sections 725-54 (c) and 800-30.

In all other cases, an appropriate Listed Primary Protector must be provided. Refer to Articles
800 and 810 of the NEC for details.

2. For protection of ODU against direct lightning strikes, appropriate requirements of NFPA
780 should be considered in addition to NEC.

3. For Canada, appropriate requirements of the CEC 22.1 including Section 60 and additional
requirements of CAN/CSA-B72 must be considered as applicable.

4. For Brazil, this product is designed for specific application and needs to be installed by a
qualified personal who has RF and related rule knowledge.
Regarding the operation on range of 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz, the average output power of
the equipments with integrated antenna must be adjusted to the maximum limit of 5,36 dBm
(models RW-5550-0150, RW-5520-0150, RW-5520-0350 e RW-5510-0350).

The average output power of the equipments with external antennas can be adjusted to
higher output power but it´s necessary be aware with the antenna gain. For an average
output power of 20,26 dBm must be used an antenna with a maximum gain of 7,86 dBi
(models RW-5200-0250 e RW-5550-0250).

Some Terminology

A Point to Multipoint network is typically abbreviated to PtMP. The PtMP networks
described in this Manual are of course, radio links.

A PtMP link consists of at least one Base Station (BS) radio linked to several Subscriber
Unit (SU) radios. The SUs are sometimes called Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs).
The terminology comes from the field of telephony.

The radio links are effected by using a sector antenna with the BS. The SUs use directional
antennas aligned to the BS.

Key features of RADWIN 5000 HPMP

Chapter 1

A Sector consists of a BS and a group of SUs within the angular sector covered by the BS
antenna. A Sector is typically 60° or 90° depending of course on the choice of antenna.

BSs may be collocated to provide sectorial coverage up to 360°.
The RF characteristics of a Sector will be common to each radio: Frequency (regulation),

band and channel bandwidth. Adjacent Sectors in a PtMP network will typically use different
frequencies and non-overlapping bands to mitigate mutual BS interference.

The RADWIN 5000 HPMP product suite supports considerably higher capacity than other cur­rent technologies (such as Wi-Max). We distinguish between generic BSs and SUs and RAD­WIN units, relabelling the latter, HBSs and HSUs (H=hich capacity).

Site Preparation

Planning the Sector Site

Overview

Sector site planning consists of a set of surveys, which must be carried out before any equip­ment is deployed. If for some reason, the outcome of any of these surveys is negative, HBS
or HSU re-location will need to be considered.

A Site Survey consists of three stages:

1. Preliminary survey - The proposed sector is analyzed in the office using a topographic
map. You should use additional tools such as the Link Budget Calculator or the Radio Plan­ner (if available).

2. Physical survey - The locations of the indoor and outdoor equipment are determined on-
site.

3. Radio Frequency (RF) survey - It is recommended that the installation area be scanned
with a spectrum analyzer, to identify RF interference so as to determine a clear channel for
radio installation (on-site).

The Site Survey

Introduction

RADWIN wireless links must be planned before installation. The designated installation sites
must be appraised to determine that the wireless system is able to operate efficiently and
provide connectivity without signal degradation.

RADWIN 5000 HPMP offers a wide operating frequency range. A free frequency channel must
be determined within the operating range, for optimum performance.

Recommended Equipment

Stage 1: Preliminary Survey

• Topological map of the area

• Urban map of the area

• Compass

2-2

Stage 1: Preliminary Survey

Chapter 2

• Link Budget Calculator and/or Radio Planner

Stage 2: Physical Survey

• 100 meter tape measure

• Ohmmeter, to check ground connection

• Binoculars

• Map

• Digital camera

• Paper, pencil, and a clipboard

• GPS device (optional)

• Compass (optional)

Stage 3: RF Survey

• Spectrum Analyzer with Max Hold function and screen capture facility that can store
multiple images, for documentation purposes

• RF accessories (connectors and cables)

• Communication devices (for example, cellular phones, or a set of walkie-talkies)

Stage 1: Preliminary Survey

A preliminary survey is necessary before visiting potential installation sites. As much detail as
possible should be obtained about the designated ODU installation sites and the area
between them.

 To perform a preliminary survey:

1. Mark the designated installation sites on a topographic map of the area.

2. Measure the distance between the sites; check that it is within the specified range of
the equipment.

3. On the urban map, check for developed areas situated between the installation sites.
Pay attention to these areas when performing the physical site survey; there may be
tall buildings, RF towers, or transmitters, which could cause interference to a sector.

4. Check the area between the two sites for obstructions such as:

• High ground - hills or mountains

• Lakes or large bodies of water. Water has a reflection effect on RF signals like a

building. This type of reflection causes the received amplitude to be reduced. As
a rule of thumb, the presence of a large body of water between sector sites may
double the required antenna height.

5. Determine and record the compass bearings between HBS and HSU ODUs, relative to
north.

6. If there are obstructions between the two sites, calculate the Fresnel Zone (see

Chapter 15 for details).

7. If the sites chosen do not meet requirements, consider alternative sites.

8. Use the Link Budget Calculator (on the CD supplied with the equipment or using the
RADWIN Manager) to determine the expected performance.

Stage 2: Physical Survey

Chapter 2

Stage 2: Physical Survey

The physical site survey reviews the environment of the proposed installation location, to
ensure that the sector sites are suitable for the wireless network. The results of the physical
site survey should be recorded.

Note

It is advisable to go on a clear day, so you can more easily see any
obstructions between the two sites.

 To perform a physical survey:

1. From the compass readings taken in the preliminary survey, find the azimuth (hori­zontal position) that each HSU ODU should face towards the HBS ODU.

2. Using binoculars, locate any obstructions such as tall trees, high buildings, hills or
mountains. Look for other RF towers between the two sites. Mark the locations of
the obstructions on the map.

3. Determine the location for the ODU (having regard for existing rooftop installations
and tower space). It should be above any obstructions, considering the Fresnel zone
(see Chapter 15).

4. If you need to install an ODU on a tower, make sure that the tower is far enough
from overhead electric power lines.

5. Determine a location for the indoor equipment; it should be as close as possible to
the ODU. At an existing site, there is probably an equipment room with cable-routing
channels.

Note

Outdoor CAT-5e; Maximum cable length: 100m for 10/100BaseT and 75m
for 1000BaseT (GbE PoEs)

6. Measure and record the path length of the cable from each ODU position to the
indoor equipment room.

7. Determine the ground and lightning connection points of the installation. The ODU
and PoE must both be grounded.

8. Using the Ohmmeter, measure and record the resistance of the required installation
to the grounding point. The resistance must be less than 1O ohm.

9. Review the results of the physical site survey. Decide if the site is suitable for the
wireless network installation.

• If the site is suitable, continue with stage 3, the RF survey

• If the site is not suitable, survey another site

Additional Indoor Site Requirements

Chapter 2

Additional Indoor Site Requirements

The ambient operating temperature should be 0 to 50°C (32 to 122 °F) at a humidity of up to
90%, non condensing

Stage 3: RF Survey

The RF survey examines the wireless environment of the installation site, to determine
whether there are available channels within the radio operating frequency band. An RF survey
is performed using a spectrum analyzer.

It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the spectrum analyzer before going out on site, spe­cifically the Max Hold and Marker functions.

You should perform the RF survey at each of the proposed sector sites.
The survey should be carried out during a busy time of day, to best judge the worst-case

radio interference. Allow 2-4 hours duration for a good RF survey.

RF Planning for Dense Installations and Collocated Sites

Interference may arise from

• Self interference from collocated RADWIN radios

• Other collocated radio devices installed on the same site.

To avoid or minimize interference, follow these recommendations:

• For collocated RADWIN units, use an HSS unit to synchronize between them. Select a
different operating channels for each collocated RADWIN unit.

• If one or more collocated units are not RADWIN units, ensure that there is a physical
separation of at least three meters between a RADWIN unit and any other collocated
radio on the site.

• Use the largest possible frequency gap between these units

• Choose the best frequency channel (as clear as possible form interference). You may

be able to change the band used for the sector - depending on HBS model and regu­lations.

• Decreasing the Tx Power of a sector will reduce collocation interference

Note

Use the Link Budget Calculator to determine the minimum Tx Power
required to maintain sector stability.

Hardware Installation

This chapter sets out the requirements and procedures for the hardware installation and
alignment of a RADWIN 5000 HPMP sector in accordance with the prior planning as set out in

Chapter 2. It is intended to guide qualified field technicians.

Warning

Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced
installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety
codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate
government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may expose the end
user or the service provider to legal and financial liabilities. RADWIN and its
resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation of
regulations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas.

Note

The material in this chapter is generic to all RADWIN radio products unless
stated otherwise.

Safety Practices

Preventing overexposure to RF energy

To protect against overexposure to RF energy, install the ODUs so as to provide and maintain
minimal separation distances from all persons.

When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna. Strong RF
fields are present when the transmitter is on. The ODU must not be deployed in a location
where it is possible for people to stand or walk inadvertently in front of the antenna.

Grounding

All RADWIN products should be grounded during operation. In addition:

• The ODU should be earthed by a wire with diameter of at least 12AWG.
RADWIN 5000 HPMP ODUs must be properly grounded to protect against lightning. It

is the user's responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with Section 810 of
the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the Canadian
Electrical Code. These codes describe correct installation procedures for grounding

Protection against Lightning

Chapter 3

outdoor units, masts, lead-in wiring and discharge units. It also lays down the size of
grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes.

RADWIN 5000 HPMP ODUs must be grounded to a Protective Earth as described in

Chapter 9 and in accordance with the Local Electrical Regulations.

Further, you should -

• Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last

• Never connect telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment

• Ensure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting the ground

More detailed guidelines are supplied in Chapter 9.

Protection against Lightning

The use of lightning protection is dependent on regulatory and end user requirements. All of
RADWIN outdoor units are designed with surge limiting circuits to minimize the risk of dam­age due to lightning strikes. RADWIN recommends the use of additional surge arrestor
devices to protect the equipment from nearby lightning strikes.

See Chapter 9 for detailed installation instructions of lightning protection devices.

General

• It is recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be contracted to a professional
installer.

• Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines,
you should remove jewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact
with energized parts.

• Use extreme care when installing antennas near power lines.

• Use extreme care when working at heights.

• When using an AC power source for RADWIN 5000 HPMP PoEs always use the AC

power adapter supplied by RADWIN.

• Use the right tools. In addition to standard tools required for any kind of ODU or
antenna installation, RADWIN 5000 HPMP ODUs require additional specific tools
detailed on page 3-7 below.

Outdoor installation

Preparing the ODU before Deployment

Each ODU should be pre-loaded with an IP address. This may be done prior to deployment in
the field, or on-site using a Laptop computer. The process is quite straight-forward and
described in Chapter 4.

Mounting the ODU

The ODU can be mounted on a pole or a wall. In both installations, the supplied mounting kit
is used to secure the ODU.

Note

A mast-sited ODU typically uses a pole attached to the mast.

 To mount the ODU on a pole or a wall:

1. Ensure that the ODU is properly grounded.

2. Mount the ODU onto the pole or wall. Ensure that the unit is oriented so that the
cable connectors are at the bottom. (If they are on top, water may penetrate

Mounting external antennas

Chapter 3

Prior to connecting cables to the ODU, the protective earth terminal (screw)
of the ODU must be connected to an external protective ground conductor
or to a grounded pole.

Warning

• Only a qualified person using the proper safety equipment should
climb the antenna mast

• Only qualified professional personnel should install or dismantle
ODUs and masts

into the unit causing damage.) It is possible to mount an ODU horizontally. See

Chapter 17 for details.

3. Refer also to Chapter 17 for detailed ODU mounting kit contents and schematics.

Note

• Do not tighten the ODU to its mounting brackets until the alignment
process of the antenna is complete.

• Ensure that there are no direct obstructions in front of the ODU or
interference from man-made obstacles.

Mounting external antennas

If you are using ODU with an integrated antenna, skip to Mounting the Lightning Protec-

tion Devices below.

The supplied mounting kit is used to mount the antenna onto a pole. The antennas must be
aligned for maximum throughput.

Warning

Never stand in front of a live antenna!

 To mount an external antenna:

1. To mount an external antenna, ensure that the antenna is properly grounded and
then mount the antenna onto the pole. Refer to Chapter 17 for detailed antenna
mounting instructions.

2. Follow the mounting instructions supplied with the antenna.

Mounting the Lightning Protection Devices

The use of lightning protection is dependent on regulatory and end user requirements. The
RADWIN 5000 HPMP ODU is designed with surge limiting circuits to minimize the risk of dam­age due to lightning strikes. RADWIN recommends the use of additional surge arrestor
devices to protect the equipment from nearby lightning strikes.

Refer to Chapter 18 for detailed installation instructions of lightning protection devices.

Outdoor Connections

 To complete the outdoor connections:

1. Connect the ground cable to the ODU chassis as marked on the ODU.

2. Connect the lightning protection device to the ODU (see Chapter 18).

3. Attach the ODU-PoE cable to the ODU RJ-45 connector (see Appendix B for the
connector pinout)

4. Screw in the cable glands to ensure hermetic sealing of the ODU.

5. Secure the cables to the pole, mast or brackets using UV-rated cable ties.

Installing a Sector using PoE Devices

A typical PoE device is a very simple unit having a power input connector and two Ethernet
ports. It is AC powered, and has a power LED.

 To prepare a sector using PoE devices:

1. To connect the ODU to the PoE device, route the cable from the ODU to the PoE
device, secure the cable along its path and connect the cable to the LAN-OUT RJ-45
connector on the PoE device.

2. Connect it to AC power.

3. Repeat steps 1 to 2 for all ODUs in the sector.

Connecting User Equipment

 To connect user equipment to a PoE device:

• Connect a user switch, router or any other compatible device to the PoE device RJ-45
port designated LAN-IN. Refer to Appendix B for connector pinouts.

Aligning HSUs to a HBS

You perform HSU antenna alignment to a HBS using the HSU ODU’s audible tone.

 To align a HSU to its HBS:

1. Ensure that the sector antenna of the HBS is aligned precisely to the sector it is
intended to cover. Use a compass and topographical maps to do this.

2. For both the HBS and HSUs: Using a coax cable with N-Type connectors, connect the
vertical polarization connector of the antenna to the ANT 1 connector of the ODU.
Then, using a second coax cable with N-Type connectors, connect the horizontal
polarization connector of the antenna to the ANT 2 connector of the ODU.

Note

There is no particular reason to use ANT 1 and ANT 2 in that order: They
just have to be the same for each ODU in the sector. Further, adopting a

convention like “ANT 1 is always vertical” avoids mistakes across a large

sector.

3. Ensure that power is connected to the site PoEs across the sector.

4. Provided that an HSU detects the signal from the HBS, the ODU starts beeping 20
seconds after power up, and continues beeping until the HSU is aligned to the HBS,
and the alignment is complete.

This chapter is a quick “hands-on” tour of a running c sector. We show you how to install the
RADWIN Manager software on your managing PC, connect it to an operating base station and
then log on. We then explain the use of the various object on the RADWIN Manager main
window.

The background acquired here will enable you to understand the direction and purpose of the
detailed procedures (described in later chapters) required to build a RADWIN 5000 HPMP sec­tor from the ground up.

2. Check that you have connectivity to the HBS ODU. You can do this by opening up a
command line session (Start|Run and then type, cmd). At the command prompt,
type

ping 10.103.15.7
You should see something like this:

Figure 4-1: Pinging the base station.

Any other response from ping means that the HBS ODU is not responding. Check
your Ethernet connection and that both the PoE and ODU are switched on and then
try again. If you do not succeed, seek assistance from RADWIN Customer Support.

Pinging the HSUs should yield similar responses.

3. Dismiss the command line session.

4. Open the RADWIN Manager from the desktop icon, or click Start|Programs|RAD­WIN Manager|RADWIN Manager.

The Log-on dialog box appears.

There are three user types:

• An Observer has read-only access to the sector. An Observer can monitor the sector,
generate reports, but may not change any sector parameters.

• An Operator can install and configure the sector.

• An Installer can, in addition to functioning as an Operator, also change the operating

frequency band (or regulation). The latter function has legal ramifications, requiring
familiarity with local regulations.

If you are connecting through the RNMS server check the RMNS connect button and enter
your server IP address.

Sector Status Panel

The sector level information is shown here. There is nothing that can be changed for an
active sector. The parameters are set before the base station is activated and are duplicated
for each HSU in the sector.

Figure 4-10: Sector Status panel
The last two items are of special interest: The Status (shown as Active) indicates whether

the HBS has been activated or not. The Time Slots bar indicates how many out of 16 time
slots, have been allocated to HSUs. Allocation of time slots between HSU provides a basic
form of prioritization between them. Normally you would not leave unallocated time slots
unless you intended to add more HSUs. Every HSU requires at least one time slot.

Exploring the RADWIN Manager Main Window - HSU

You may log on to an HSU over the air from a HBS or by directly connecting a Managing Com­puter to the HSU PoE. You can log on over the air to any HSU, which has been powered up
and has “discovered” its HBS even if it has not been registered. The HSU main window is dif­ferent from the HBS main window, however it uses the same GUI and the same names for
common fields.

Logging on to an HSU

You can log on to a SU of an established sector. The log on procedure is the same as for a
HBS. Suppose we log on to HSU with IP address 10.103.7.6: We initially receive the following
caution:

What Comes Next?

The purpose of this chapter was to offer an overview of a running RADWIN 5000 HPMP a sec­tor. The next two chapters will cover respectively, detailed sector setup considerations, and

monitoring and diagnostics. The foregoing background should provide sufficient “signposts”

to ensure that you do not become lost in the plethora of details required to commission a fully
operational sector.

Chapter 5

Installing the Sector

Scope of this Chapter

Chapter 4, offered an overview of a running Sector as motivation for the technical installa-

tion details set out below.
Assuming that the Sector equipment is in place as described in earlier chapters, sector instal-

lation has two phases:

• Configuring and activating the HBS

• Bringing up the HSUs - configuration and registration

The same RADWIN Manager program is used for both the HBS and the HSUs. Much of the
process is common to both types of ODU. We will cover the HBS in detail; for the HSUs we
will concentrate on those items which are different. In any event, where setup procedures are
common we will point them out.

Concepts

A HBS out of the package, must be configured with

• Basic RF parameters such as frequency band, channel bandwidtth and Sector ID

• Networking parameters such as IP address, Subnet mask and default gateway

At this point, the HBS ODU is in an inactive state, powered up, configurable but not trans­mitting anything.

Upon activation, the HBS will commence transmitting and receiving packets related to sec­tor management only - that is no service. Activation and Deactivation are effected quite sim­ply by clicking a toggle button.

Assuming that the Sector HSUs are mounted aligned and powered up, the HSUs will dis-
cover the HBS establishing links for management only. At this point the HSUs may be man­aged over the air.

As soon as the HSUs are configured to your satisfaction, you must register them on the HBS.
Registration of an HSU enables service traffic between the HSU and the HBS.

During the registration process, you assign time slots to each HSU. A total of 16 time slots
are available to each HBS to be distributed among the HSUs in the sector. The relative num­ber of time slots determines the relative amount of service each HSU will receive. Each HSU

Workflow

Chapter 5

RADWIN 5000 HPMP User Manual

Release 3.1.00

5-2

receives at least one time slot. To disable an HSU you must deregister it. (A suspend mech­anism is also available, to suspend service on an HSU for a fixed period.)

For each registered HSU, you can set separately, the Uplink and Downlink Maximum Infor-
mation Rate (MIR) in Mbps or leave it at Best Effort.

You may also mange an HSU Connection table to enable and disable connectivity between
HSUs in a sector.

Workflow

In this chapter, we assume that you are familiar with the material of Chapter 4. We will con-
centrate on setup workflow assuming that you are familiar with GUI.

Prior to commencing, you should have written sector plan along the lines of Table 4-2.

Configuring the Sector out of the Box - IP Addresses

The default log-on IP address for all ODUs in the sector is the same: 10.0.0.120, Netmask

255.0.0.0 and default gateway 0.0.0.0. To get the process started, set up the IP address on
the network card on the managing computer to something like 10.0.0.100, Netmask

255.255.255.0 and default gateway 0.0.0.0.
Ensure that you have a direct LAN connection to the ODU, run the RADWIN Manager and log-

on to it.

necessarily dropping service. Nevertheless care must be exercised when changing them. By
way of example, changing an IP address will possibly make a unit unreachable. It is neces­sary however to have this function in the Configuration window since it is required to initially

Hub Site Synchronization

Scope of this Chapter

This chapter is specific to collocating HBSs. Should you require to collocate with other radio
models, you should consult with RADWIN Customer Service.

What is Hub Site Synchronization?

When several units are collocated at a common hub site, interference may occur from one
unit to another. RADWIN ODU units support the collocation of more than two units at a cen­tral site. Like any other RF deployment, the wireless operation is highly dependent on factors
such as available frequencies, the physical spacing between radios, other interfering radios,
and whether WinLink 1000, RADWIN 2000 or RADWIN 5000 HPMP units are installed.

Note

HSS does not eliminate the need for careful RF planning to ensure the

The RADWIN Hub Site Synchronization (HSS) method uses a cable connected from the mas­ter ODU to all collocated ODUs; this cable carries pulses sent to each ODU, which synchronize
their transmission with each other. The pulse synchronization ensures that transmission
occurs at the same time for all collocated units. This also results in all of the hub site units
receiving data at the same time, eliminating the possibility of interference that could result if
some units transmit while other units at the same location receive.

Figure 7-1 illustrates interference caused by non-synchronized collocated units.

What is Hub Site Synchronization?

Chapter 7

Figure 7-1: Interference caused by collocated units

Adding HSS removes interference as shown in the next two figures:

Figure 7-2: Collocated units using Hub Site Synchronization (1)

Figure 7-3: Collocated units using Hub Site Synchronization (2)

The units are connected to each other with HSS cables and HSS Distribution Units.
One of the radios in the site is defined as HSS Master and generates synchronization pulses.
The other collocated radios in the site - the HSS Clients, are connected to the HSS Master and

synchronize their transmission to the pulses. An HSS Client can be configured to work in one
of two modes:

Hardware Installation

Chapter 7

• HSS Client-Continue Transmission (HSC-CT): If the unit loses synchronization
with the HSS Master, the link remains active. However, without synchronization pulses,
it is possible that this unit will cause interference.

• HSS Client-Disable Transmission (HSC-DT): If the unit loses synchronization with
the HSS Master, the link is dropped until the synchronization pulses resume. This set­ting prevents the unit from causing interference.

The remote ODUs that are not located at the hub site, are called Independent Units.

Hardware Installation

Connecting an HSS Unit

A single HSS unit supports up to ten collocated ODUs. In addition to each unit being con­nected to its IDU or PoE device, the collocated unit has an additional cable that is connected
to the HSS Unit. The HSS Unit is a compact, weatherproof (IP67) connector box that is
installed on the same mast as the ODUs. All collocated units connect to this box using CAT-5e
cable. Cables in prepared lengths are available for purchase.

The HSS unit is supplied with ten protective covers; any port not in use must be closed with a
protective cover.

Figure 7-4: HSS Interconnection Unit

Note

• For a single HSS unit, ensure that the collocated units are connected
in sequence from SYNC 1. If an ODU is removed from the hub site,
then all remaining ODUs must be reconnected to maintain the con­nectivity.

• You may cascade (daisy-chain) two or more HSS Units with an HSS
cable. The method is described in detail below.

 To connect an ODU to an HSS unit:

1. Unscrew the protective cover from the port marked SYNC 1.

2. Connect the RJ-45 connector from one end of the prepared CAT-5e cable to SYNC 1.

3. Connect the other end of the CAT-5e cable to the ODU connector labeled SYNC.

4. Tighten the protective seal that is on the prepared cable over the RJ-45 connector.

5. Repeat for all ODUs that are to be collocated at the hub site. The next ODU to be
connected is inserted in SYNC 1, SYNC 2, followed by SYNC 3 and so on.

Using a Single HSS Unit

Chapter 7

Using a Single HSS Unit

Figure 7-5: HSS Wiring schematic
The wiring, as shown in Figure 7-5 is self explanatory. The Sync signal path is less self evi-

dent. If we set ODU 1 (on SYNC 1) to HSS Master, then the Sync signal path is as shown in

Figure 7-6. The signal travels from ODU 1 to SYNC 1, from SYNC 1 to SYNC 2, from SYNC 2

to ODU 2 and back again. The back and forth paths repeat for the second to fourth ODU,
from left to right. The signal exits the HSS unit at SYNC 5 and terminates in ODU 5.

The choice of the ODU on SYNC 1 as HSS master is not mandatory, but is good practice. If for
example we were to use ODU 3 as HSS master, the Sync signal path would be ODU 3 to SYNC
3, then left and right to SYNC 2 and SYNC 4. It would then propagate to ODUs 2 and 4, termi­nating at both ODUs 1 and 5.

Using More than One HSS Unit

In a large collocation site, several HSS units may be cascaded (daisy-chained) subject to the
following conditions:

Condition 1: Cabling Sequence

1. Up to nine ODUs may be connected to the first HSS unit using HSS ports SYNC 1, SYNC 2,
SYNC 3,... up to SYNC 9 in order without leaving empty ports.

2. The next available SYNC port of the first HSS unit should be connected to SYNC 10
of the second HSS unit as shown in Figure 7-7. In the illustration, the next
available port on the first HSS unit is SYNC 6.

3. The second HSS unit may be filled out with up to nine more ODUs in reverse
order. That is, connect SYNC 9, SYNC 8, SYNC 7... as shown in Figure 7-7.

Figure 7-7: Cascading two HSS units

4. To add a a further HSS unit: Connect the next available SYNC port from the
second HSS unit in descending order (SYNC 5 in Figure 7-7) to SYNC 1 of the
third HSS unit.

5. ODUs are connected to the third HSS unit from SYNC 2 as shown in Figure 7-8,
in ascending order:

Figure 7-8: Cascading three HSS units

6. If further ODUs are required, observe the convention that additional even
numbered units are populated in descending order from SYNC 9 and odd
numbered HSS units are populated in ascending order from SYNC 2.

Note

If an ODU is disconnected from an HSS unit, then all remaining ODUs must
be moved up or down to maintain the connectivity.

RFP and HSS

Chapter 7

RFP and HSS

When HSS is used, the RFP for the collocated radios must be selected manually.
RADWIN 5000 HPMP radios use the Time Division Duplex (TDD) mechanism.
Under HSS, TDD enables synchronization of transmission for the collocated units as shown in

Figure 7-9:

Figure 7-9: Radio Frame Pattern

Five RFP types (A to E) are available. Under HSS the RFP must be configured by the user
depending on the type of the radio products, services and channel bandwidth in accordance
with the Table 7-3 and Table 7-4.

The tables describe the efficiency of the air interface according to the RFP type, radio prod­ucts mix, services and channel bandwidth. The tables may also be viewed in the RADWIN
Manager and in the Link Budget Calculator. The efficiency of the air interface will vary accord­ing to the product used.

Note

The RFP must be the same for each link within the collocated system.

RFP: General Radio Frame Pattern

When setting the RPF, the following considerations should be borne in mind:

• When synchronizing RADWIN 5000 HBS units you must use RFP E

• When synchronizing RADWIN 5000 HBS with RADWIN 2000 or WinLink 1000 units

you must use RFP E

Lightning Protection and

Grounding Guidelines

Meticulous implementation of the guidelines in this chapter will provide best protection
against electric shock and lightning.

Warning

100% protection is neither implied nor possible.

Note

This chapter is at best a guide. The actual degree of lightning protection
required depends on local conditions and regulations.

The RADWIN Lightning Protection System consists of the following components:

• Grounding for the antenna coax cable

• Grounding for each IDU and ODU

• External Primary Surge Suppressor units and grounding for the outdoor cable

• Internal ESD protection circuits over the Power/Telecom lines

Grounding for Antenna Cable

A Grounding Kit must be connected to the coax antenna cable and reliably grounded. The
grounding kit is an Andrew Type 223158-2 (www.andrew.com). See Figure 9-1 below.

ODU Grounding

RADWIN Lightning Protection System uses a Shielded CAT-5e cable to interconnect the Out­door (ODU) and Indoor (IDU) units.

However, this shielding does not provide a good lightning discharge path, since it can not tol­erate the high Lightning Current surges.

To provide an alternate Lightning Discharge path, the ODU and antenna grounding posts
should be connected to ground point by a 10 AWG short copper wire.

The device should be permanently connected to ground.

External Lightning Surge Suppressors and Grounding

Chapter 9

The Transtector protection circuits shown in Figure 9-5 below, utilize silicon avalanche diode
technology. The unit consists of an outdoor rated NEMA 3R type enclosure with easy mount­ing flanges, ground stud attachment and easy wiring.

The ALPU-POE features RJ-45 protection circuits for the ODU-PoE data pairs (pins 1,2 & 3,6)
and DC power (pins 4,5 & 6,7 with the pairs bonded).

The unit is designed to be wall mounted. An optional set of bracket is available from the man­ufacturer to allow a wide range of pole mount applications. A dedicated ground stud is pro­vided inside the unit that must be bonded to the nearest grounding system (or Master Ground
bar) for proper surge protection.

The system wiring is installed with RJ-45 type connectors that can feed directly into the chas­sis without having to cut, splice or route through awkward strain relief holes.

Figure 9-5: Transtector’s Surge Suppressor

 To mount the lightning protection devices:

1. Mount the device as close to the ODU as possible. Mount the unit so that the cable
connectors are at the bottom (to prevent water from penetrating), with the strain
reliefs facing the ground.

2. Remove the cover by unscrewing the front of the unit.

3. Mount the unit to an outside surface using the two mounting holes.

4. Connect the ODU-PoE cable using the RJ-45 jack.

5. Connect one cable between the ODU and the suppressor using an RJ-45 jack.

6. Connect the suppressor’s ground stud to a grounding point. Use the appropriate wire

gauge and type, keeping the wire as short as possible, less than 1m (3’), between

the stud and the site grounding point.

7. Replace the cover.

Note

There may also be regulatory requirements to cross bond the ODU-PoE CAT­5e cable at regular intervals up the mast. This may be as frequent as every
10 meters (33 feet).
