Introduction
Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM WIN7237 base station is a member of the RUGGEDCOM family, a line of mobile WiMAX
broadband wireless access systems based on the IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMAX standard. These systems are
designed for robustness and simplicity, offering feature-rich services with low deployment and operation costs, for
unmatched operator competitiveness and fast return on investment.
The RUGGEDCOM WIN7237 is a cost-effective solution for wireless access services, designed for point-tomultipoint broadband wireless access applications in varying conditions and locations. It is a one-sector base
station.
The base station communicates with fixed and mobile subscriber units according to defined service criteria and
customer Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The base station also connects to the service provider backbone,
supporting end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) requirements.
The RUGGEDCOM WIN7237 features a small footprint and flexible mounting options, allowing it to be easily
mounted by one person on poles, street lamps, towers or walls.
Primary benefits offered by theRUGGEDCOM WIN7237 include:
Chapter 1
• Ecosystem Compatibility
Compatible with any RUGGEDCOM WIN product or IEEE 802.16e standard compliant WiMAX network
equipment.
• Rated for Harsh Environments
IEEE 1613, IEC 61850-3, Class 1 Div 2/ATEX Zone 2, MIL-STD 810F, 509.4 - salt fog.
• Long Range
Transmit and receive diversity combined with high power for improved reach and NLOS (Non-Line-Of-Sight)
performance.
• High Bandwidth
RUGGEDCOM WIN has two built-in radios operating on the same frequency simultaneously (MIMO or Multiple
Input Multiple Output) to increase bandwidth (up to 40 Mbps) and spectral efficiency.
• Lowest Frequency Use
Leverages OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) and built-in GPS (Global Positioning System)
to enable users to deploy an entire network on a single frequency channel.
• Usage Models
Designed to support long range connections to fixed, portable and mobile end points, supporting vehicular
speed seamless mobility and backhaul mode.
• Rugged Form Factor
All-outdoor, rugged and small form factor allows for flexible deployment options. RUGGEDCOM products are
designed for use in harsh environments such as those found in electrical power substations, oil refineries,
military applications, roadside traffic control cabinets and metals and minerals processing.
• Remote Monitoring and Configuration with RUGGEDCOM NMS
RUGGEDCOM NMS is Siemens's Network Management System software for the discovery, monitoring and
management of RUGGEDCOM products and other IP enabled devices on a network. This highly configurable,
full-featured product records and reports on the availability and performance of network components and
services. Device, network and service failures are quickly detected and reported to reduce downtime.

Installation Guide
Installing the Base Station
Installing the Base Station
This chapter describes how to install the base station, including mounting the device, connecting power, and
connecting the device to the network.
DANGER!
Electrocution hazard – risk of death or serious injury. When the base station is installed in an outdoor
location, all indoor components (e.g. Ethernet and power supply) should be connected through a
lightning protector.
Lightning protection protects people and equipment located indoors from lightning that may strike the
base station or its outdoor cables. Therefore, install the lightning protector indoors, as close as possible
to the point where the cables enter the building. The lightning protector can also be installed outdoors
as long as the cables that lead indoors are well protected from lightning between the protector and the
building entrance.
Chapter 2
WARNING!
Safety hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment. Installing the
RUGGEDCOM WIN7237 can pose a serious safety hazard. Be sure to take precautions to avoid the
following:
• Exposure to high voltage lines during installation
• Falling when working at heights or with ladders
• Injuries from dropping tools
• Contact with AC wiring (power system connection)
IMPORTANT!
Only certified personnel should be permitted to install equipment.
IMPORTANT!
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempted service by unauthorized personnel shall
render all warranties null and void.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens Canada Ltd could invalidate
specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
IMPORTANT!
This product should be installed in a restricted access location where access can only be gained by
authorized personnel who have been informed of the restrictions and any precautions that must be
taken. Access must only be possible through the use of a tool, lock and key, or other means of security,
and controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

Chapter 2
Installing the Base Station
IMPORTANT!
Install equipment in accordance with the electrical code relevant to the country of installation, such as:
• the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70
• the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part 1, CSA C22.1
• the National Electrical Safety Code IEEE C2 (when applicable)
Unless marked or otherwise identified, the Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data
Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75, also applies.
IMPORTANT!
Outdoor exposed communication lines longer than 40 m (140 ft) must be considered as TNV-1 circuits.
The installer must make sure the power supply and network ports are designed for full compliance with
the standards for TNV-1 telecommunication networks.
IMPORTANT!
The warranty is void if the base station is assembled without waterproof sealing or if the sealing is
removed from the connections.
