Tout personnel impliqué dans l’installation, le fonctionnement et la maintenance de l’installation doivent savoir que les radiations laser sont invisibles. Donc, bien que généralement les protections évitent tout contact direct avec les rayons émis, le personnel doit observer strictement les précautions de sécurité et en particulier, les connecteurs optiques, aussi bien directement ou avec des instruments d’optique.
Souvenez vous que remplir les précautions de sécurité n’est en aucun cas un choix personnel; ignorer les règles de sécurité mets toutes les personnes en présence en danger.
Radio
The instrument transmits radio energy during normal operation. To avoid possible harmful exposure to this energy, do not stand or work for extended periods of time in front of its antenna. The long-term characteristics or the possible physiological effects of radio frequency electromagnetic fields have not yet been fully investigated.
Outdoor Units and Antennas Installation and Grounding
Ensure that outdoor units, antennas and supporting structures are properly installed to eliminate any physical hazard to either people or property. Make sure that the installation of the outdoor unit, antenna and cables is performed in accordance with all relevant national and local building and safety codes. Even where grounding is not mandatory according to applicable regulation and national codes, it is highly recommended to ensure that the outdoor unit and the antenna mast are grounded and suitable lightning protection devices are used so as to provide protection against voltage surges and static charges. In any event, Telrad Networks is not liable for any injury, damage or regulation violations associated with or caused by installation, grounding or lightning protection.
Transmitter Antenna
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. This radio transmitter IC:899A-COMPACT3X has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types
listed in Section 1.4.7 below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

INFORMATIO
In the current release, BreezeCOMPACT1000 and 3000 support all three topologies. Note that BreezeCOMPACT2000 supports only the first topology (Single Sector, Single Carrier).
The following sections describe each of these topologies.
1.1.3.1 Single Sector, Single Carrier
This is the basic configuration based on a single BS that supports a single sector 4 Tx/4 Rx with bandwidth of 5, 7, 10 & 20MHz (LTE). This configuration is recommended for achieving the aggregated power of 4 Tx ports as well as improved diversity in Tx and Rx. This configuration is common for three-sector sites with a frequency reuse of 3.
The BreezeCOMPACT Solution
Figure 2: Single Sector, Single Carrier
1.1.3.2 Single Sector, Dual Carrier
Two BSs support a single sector using two different carriers with a total bandwidth of 20 (10+10), 14 (7+7) or 10 (5+5) MHz. The BreezeCOMPACT is connected to one 4x4 antenna. Each carrier can be configured for a different frequency. Upon setting this mode, the load-balancing function balances according to the number of subscribers.

Figure 3: Single Sector, Dual Carrier
1.1.3.3 Two Sectors, Two Carriers (One Carrier per Sector)
Two BSs support two sectors, each with a bandwidth of 5, 7 or 10 MHz. Each sector is connected to a different 2x2 antenna directed to two sectors.
This configuration is commonly used with frequency reuse 2, where the two antennas connected to the BreezeCOMPACT are located back to back. This configuration is not applicable for BreezeCOMPACT2000.

1.1.4 Antennas

In the system architecture, the antenna is approached as an independent element. This provides the operator with the flexibility to select the antenna’s source according to its supplier policy. To ensure the availability of antennas that complement the solution, Telrad works closely with several antenna suppliers to ensure availability of antennas that comply with its requirements.
In cases where the operator prefers other antenna vendors, Telrad can provide a recommended antenna specification based on the required antenna types.
Antennas may support mechanical down-tilt (MDT) using a suitable mounting kit, or electrical down-tilt (EDT) that may be either fixed or adjustable using a special adjustment screw.
In addition to a range of standard commercial antennas, Telrad also offers a special attached antenna designed for convenient installation on top of the BreezeCOMPACT unit. For the BreezeCOMPACT unit, a special mounting kit allows installation of a standard antenna on top of the unit to minimize the space required for installation.
For details about the antennas offered by Telrad, refer to “Antennas” on page 28.

1.1.5 GPS

GPS is used to synchronize the air link frames of Intra-site and Inter-site located BTSs, in order to ensure that in all Base Stations, the air frame will start at the same time, and that all Base Stations switch from transmit (downlink) to receive (uplink) at the same time. This synchronization is necessary to prevent Intra-site and Inter-site interference and Base Station saturation (assuming that all Base Stations are operating with the same frame size and with the same downlink/uplink ratio). The all-outdoor GPS Receiver is a pole-mountable GPS receiver and antenna in a single environmentally protected enclosure that is powered from the unit.
From R5.0 and up, GPS Chaining is supported, where the chaining enables use of a single GPS receiver for several collocated units. The figure below describes the GPS chaining connectivity.

2.4 Configuring Parameters Required for Management Connectivity

This section describes the minimum mandatory configuration actions required to allow remote management of the site and to enable discovery by the Element Management System:
Configuring the BTS NumberConfiguring the Management and IP Interfaces Connectivity Mode ParameterConfiguring the L1 and L2 Parameters (If Necessary)Configuring the SNMP Authorized Manager and Traps ManagerApplying the Configuration

2.4.1 Configuring the BTS Number

In the Main menu of the Monitor program, select BTS > General > Update and configure the BTS number. The BTS Number must be unique in the Radio Access Network. The default (0) is not a legitimate value.

2.4.2 Configuring the Management and IP Interfaces Connectivity Mode Parameter

The default Connectivity Mode is inband. If a different Connectivity Mode is required, select
BTS > Connectivity > Management and IP Interfaces. You are prompted to configure the following parameters (for some parameters, you can press Enter to keep the default value).
Bearer Subnet Mask. The default is 255.255.255.0.Bearer Next Hop Gateway. Must be within the range defined by the BS Bearer IP Address and Bearer Subnet Mask. The
default is 0.0.0.0. Must be changed to a valid value if the IP addresses of core network equipment are not within the range defined by the BS Bearer IP Address and Bearer Subnet Mask.
Bearer VLAN ID (default 11).Default Authenticator IP. The default is 0.0.0.0. Must be changed to a valid value if the IP address of default
authenticator ASN-GW is not within the range defined by the BS Bearer IP Address and Bearer Subnet Mask.
External Management IP Address. Must be unique in the managed network. The default is 192.168.1.1. Note that in
Unified Connectivity Mode, the External Management IP Address should be within the address range defined by the BS Bearer IP Address and Bearer Subnet Mask.
External Management Subnet Mask. The default is 255.255.255.0. In Unified Connectivity Mode, should be configured
to the value of the Bearer Subnet Mask.

3.2 Monitor Program

3.2.1 Accessing the Monitor Program

To access the Monitor program using Telnet:
1 Via the Local Management interface:
Direct local management using the Monitor program can be performed via the Local Management interface. The
default local management IP address is 172.31.0.1, and the default Subnet Mask for this address is 255.255.255.0.
The PC used for accessing the Monitor program should be set to IP address 172.31.0.4 or any other address in the
range 172.31.0.4–172.31.0.254.
Connect the PC to the Ethernet port used for Local Management. In the current release, the Local Management
interface is always on the DAT3 port.
Monitor Program
Run the Telnet program connecting to IP address 172.31.0.1.
The Enter the password message is displayed. Enter the password and press the Enter key to get to the Main menu.
The default password is installer.
2 Via the External Management interface:
Management using either SNMP or the Monitor program can also be performed via the External Management
interface. For details about the connectivity parameters of this interface, refer to “IP Interfaces” on page 53.
See “L1 & L2” on page 56 for details about the Ethernet port used for the External Management interface.
Connection of the applicable Ethernet port to the remote management device should typically be performed via a
network device configured to support the External Management interface VLAN ID (the default is 12).
If the PC is connected to the Ethernet port of the unit via a switching device, the IP address of the PC should be set
to an address in the subnet of the External Management interface. The default is IP address 192.168.1.1 and Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0.
If access is via a routing device, configure the Next Hop Gateway parameter of the External Management interface
(the default is 0.0.0.0, meaning none) to a valid value (in the subnet of the External Management interface). Set the IP address of the routing device’s port connected to the unit to the address of the Next Hop Gateway. Set the IP address of the PC according to the IP configuration of the relevant routing device’s port.
To manage the BreezeCOMPACT from an external network, configure the SNMP trap manager to enable auto-routing to the remote PC.
Run the Telnet program connecting to the IP address of the External Management interface.
The Enter the password message is displayed. Enter the password and press the Enter key to get to the Main menu.
The default password is installer.

The BS applies a round-robin mechanism in order to pick an Authenticator for each MS that performs an initial network entry (for more details, refer to “ASN-GW Load Balancing” on page 84). This should eventually distribute the load between Anchor ASN-GWs. Geographical site backup can be achieved by using different priorities of ASN-GW pools (Authenticator “metric”).
At the unit (BTS) level, up to two pools (with different priorities), each with up to 10 ASN-GWs, can be defined. Each BS inherits these pools.
The ASN-GW Load Balancing Pools submenu includes two options: Primary Pool and Secondary Pool. Select the Primary or Secondary Pool option to view or update the pool’s content. The options available for each pool are:
Show: Select this option to view the current content of the pool.
BTS Menu
Add: Select this option to add an ASN-GW address to the pool (up to a maximum of 10 addresses per pool). You will be
prompted to define the Index for the entry (a unique number in the range from 1 to 10) before defining the IP address. An IP address must be unique for both pools. Broadcast and Multicast addresses are not legal. By default, both pools are empty.
Select: Use this option to select an existing entry in the pool by its Index. You can then view the entry’s IP address,
update the IP address or delete the entry.
Note that you should not populate the Secondary Pool if the Primary Pool is empty. Also, you should not delete all entries from the Primary Pool if the Secondary Pool is not empty.
A change in the content of the pools takes effect after the next reset.
3.5.2.5 QoS Marking Rules
The QoS Marking Rules option enables you to view or update the values of 802.1P Priority and/or DSCP marking for outgoing external management traffic.
The QoS Marking Rules parameters are:
802.1P PriorityDSCP
3.5.2.5.1 802.1P Priority
The 802.1P (VLAN) Priority of management traffic.
The range is 0-7.

BTS Menu
ShutDown OperationConfiguration Files ControlTFTP Server
3.5.3.1 Monitor Inactivity Timeout
The Monitor Inactivity Timeout (in minutes) parameter determines the amount of inactive time following which the unit automatically exits the Monitor program.
The timeout duration can range from 0 to 60 minutes. 0 means no inactivity timeout.
The default value is 10 minutes.
3.5.3.2 SW Version Control
The BTS can contain two software versions:
Operational: Each time the BTS resets it reboots using the version defined as Operational.Shadow: Normally the Shadow version is the backup version. Each time a new software file is downloaded to the BTS,
it is stored as a Shadow version, replacing the previous Shadow Version.
The typical process of upgrading to a new software version includes the following steps:
1 Download the new software file to the BTS. It is stored as the Shadow version. 2 Reset and run the BTS from its Shadow version. Note that at this stage, if a reset occurs, the BTS returns to the previous
Operational version.
3 If you want to continue using the new version, swap the Shadow and Operational versions. The new (currently running)
version is now defined as Operational, and is used each time the BTS reboots. The previous version is defined now as Shadow.

3.7.2.1.6 Paging Group ID
The Paging Group ID of the BS.
The single sector Idle Mode capability provides the benefits of MS power savings and manageable total sector active and non-active users, together with reduced overhead on the back-haul network.
The Idle Mode (IM) mechanism enables an MS to become unavailable on the air interface, thus freeing operational resources and preserving MS power. During IM operation, an MS switches off its transmission and reception capabilities, and becomes available for DL broadcast control messaging, such as MS Paging, in a periodic manner. Using a paging broadcast, the BS can indicate, if necessary, for the MS to exit from IM and return into normal operation mode. The paging control message is sent over the DL of a set of BSs simultaneously. This set is called a Paging Group (PG). In the current release, each Paging Group includes a single BS.
During IM, the MS performs location updates when moving from one PG to another. While in the same PG, the MS does not need to transmit in the UL and can be paged in the DL if there is traffic targeted at it.
The range is from 0 to 65535. 0 means that Idle Mode is not enabled. If Idle Mode is enabled (Paging Group ID is not 0), the value should be unique in the Radio Access Network (different Paging Group ID for each BS). Idle Mode should be either enabled in all units in the network (Paging Group ID other than 0) or disabled in all units (Paging Group ID = 0). A combination in the same Radio Access Network of units with Paging Group ID of 0 (Idle Mode disabled) and units with Paging Group ID other than 0 (Idle Mode enabled) should be avoided.
A change in the Paging Group ID takes effect after the next reset.

3.7.2.2.3 DL Diversity Mode
The DL Diversity Mode option includes the DL Diversity Mode parameter. In the current release, only Matrix A or B is supported.
BS Menu
In MIMO Matrix A or B mode, the system can use either MIMO Matrix A or MIMO Matrix B. The selection between Matrix A and Matrix B is performed automatically for each MS according to link conditions and supported MS capabilities, as follows:
MIMO Matrix A for Coverage Gain: In a configuration with multiple transmit/receive antennas, a single data stream is
transmitted in parallel over multiple paths. A mathematical algorithm known as Space Time Codes (STC) is used to encode the data streams to make them orthogonal to each other. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver side, resulting in increased range and better throughput for subscribers that are difficult to reach (for example, deep indoors).
MIMO Matrix B for Increased Capacity: This flavor of MIMO, also known as Spatial Multiplexing MIMO
(SM-MIMO), sends an independent data stream over each antenna. Thus, when signal conditions are good, the data rate is increased and in excellent conditions may be doubled.
3.7.2.3 Mobility
The Mobility menu enables you to view/update the value configured for the parameter described below.

3.7.2.5.4 Ducting Mitigation Mode
Sudden changes in the atmosphere's moisture and temperature profiles can on random occasions make radio signals propagate hundreds of kilometers and even more, far beyond the normal radio horizon. When a BS suffers from such tropospheric ducting phenomena, which causes reception of a relatively strong signal transmitted by a very far BTS, the Ducting Mitigation feature enables increasing the time period between DL and UL transmissions to reduce potential interference effects. This is achieved by adding DL Silenced Symbols and, if necessary, changing the number of Extra TTG slots (see below). This results in reducing the actual UL Duration by 1 slot (Medium Ducting Mitigation Mode) or 2 slots (High Ducting Mitigation Mode) without affecting the number of DL symbols (for the same combination of Configured Total Uplink Duration and Maximum Cell Radius).
Note that for certain values of configured Total Uplink Duration, the High and/or Medium options are not available since the minimum uplink duration is 4 slots for a BS bandwidth of 5/10 MHz or 3 slots for a BS bandwidth of 7 MHz.
The options are None, Medium or High.
The default is None.

between users proportional to their excess traffic SLAs.
Assuming a sector with diversity (different channels conditions) of active users, an ET scheme enables higher aggregate sector throughput at the expense of data-rate fairness among users, while an ER scheduling scheme ensures maximum data-rate fairness among users at the expense of lower aggregate sector throughput.
Using an ER scheduling scheme exposes the system to excessive allocation of air resources to highly active users having relatively poorer channel conditions. To ensure data-rate fairness, more resources must be allocated to these users compared to users with relatively good channel conditions. The effect of a small number of such users within the sector is reflected by reduced aggregate sector throughput as well as degradation of achievable rates for all users.
BS Menu
To protect against abusing users, an instantaneous rate threshold can be defined within the scheduling scheme in which the amount of air resources for users with continuous instantaneous rate below the threshold is being limited. The more the abusing users' instantaneous rate is below the threshold, the more resource allocation limitations are applied.
Three levels of dynamic protection are available:
No protection. Low protection level: Protection against users with very poor channel conditions. Should be used where the abusing
users’ instantaneous rates are far below the average instantaneous rate within the sector.
Medium protection: Protection against users with relatively poor or very poor channel conditions. Should be used where
the abusing users’ instantaneous rates are below or far below the average instantaneous rate within the sector.
A dynamic protection mechanism is implemented, in which the mechanism of limiting resource allocations is automatically and dynamically activated when needed.
The Scheduler menu enables you to view/update the values configured for the following parameters:
Scheduler ModeScheduler DL Abuse Protection LevelScheduler UL Abuse Protection Level
3.7.2.8.1 Scheduler Mode
The basis for allocating excess bandwidth among relevant users is as follows:
Equal Rate: Throughput FairnessEqual Time: Resource Fairness
The selected mode applies for both uplink and downlink schedulers.
The default is Equal Rate.

3.11 Spectrum Analyzer

Spectrum Analyzer functionality was built for the installer and the radio planner to decide for each sector, once deployed, the best RF channel to define for the BreezeCOMPACT. This function is critical in unlicensed spectra, such as in 3.65 GHz – 3.7 GHz in the US and Canada, where other transmitting devices may interfere with the BreezeCOMPACT.
The Spectrum Analysis feature enables you to determine the noise characteristics per channel. This enables the construction of a relatively noise-free working environment. When the Spectrum Analyzer feature is activated, the unit enters a passive scanning mode for a period of time during which information is gathered. The scanned channels are the channels comprising a selected subset.
Spectrum Analyzer
Upon activating the spectrum analysis, the unit automatically shuts down the RF ports. During the information-gathering period, the unit does not receive nor transmit data. It also cannot synchronize/associate, meaning that it cannot be managed via the wireless link. At the end of the period, the user should configure the system for normal operation.

3.11.1 Enable/Disable

By entering the BS number (Sector 1 or Sector 2), the user can disable or enable Spectrum Analyzer functionality. Upon enabling the function, the Tx ports stop transmitting.

3.11.2 Configuration

The Spectrum Analyzer Configuration menu includes the following options:

3.12 Dual Carrier Load Balancing

BreezeCOMPACT’s Dual Carrier topology in a Single Sector enables load balancing between two carriers. The load is distributed between the two carriers using a load balancing algorithm in each carrier.
Two configurable parameters are used in this algorithm:
Num of MSs per Carrier: Defines the minimum number of MSs to be connected to a carrier before
the load balancing mechanism is activated. The default value is 10.
Num of MSs Difference Between Carriers: Defines the maximum difference between the number of
MSs connected to each carrier. The default value is 5.
The following load balancing information is displayed in Telnet:
