introduCtion
The xMAX BSN-250 VoIP Base Station is a three-sector, 18-channel system used to communicate with xMAX
handsets and modems operating in the 900 MHz band. The BSN-250 is preconfigured with all software
required to transmit and receive voice and data to and from xMAX handsets and modems. This guide provides basic information on how to install, configure, and operate the base station.
ATTENTION: This symbol is used in this guide to draw attention to precautionary steps and
safety-related instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a safety hazard
and/or damage to equipment.

To install the six units that comprise the xMAX BSN-250 Base Station:
Mount the six components of the base station as shown in Figure 1, into a standard 19-inch (480 mm)

rack that is at least 18 inches deep and 15U high.
ATTENTION: Be sure to follow proper safety precautions when lifting heavy equipment.
2. Two 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet connectors are installed on the rear of the control unit. The Ethernet
ports are used to connect the base station to the backhaul network and the xMSC. Connect the Ethernet
cable to the control unit, as shown in Figure 2.

3. Install the 36 RF cables as shown in Figure 2.
4. Install the six Digital RF Interface (RJ-50) cables as shown in Figure 2.
5. Install the 18
cables from the RF unit to the three sector units
as shown in Figure 2.
6. Connect the DC power cables from the power supply unit to the corresponding ports on the control unit
and the RF unit as shown in Figure 2.
7. Connect the N-Type connectors for the antenna leads as shown in Figure 2.
This system has four antenna ports, one for each of the three sector units and one for the GPS antenna.
The ports for the sector units are located in the center of the back panel of each unit. The GPS antenna
port is located on the lower right corner of the back panel of the control unit.
The antenna port for sector unit 1 must be connected to the antenna pointing south of the tower. The
antenna port for sector unit 2 must be connected to the antenna pointing toward azimuth 60°, and the
port for sector unit 3 must be connected to the antenna pointing toward azimuth 300°.The GPS antenna
port must be connected to a GPS antenna.
The impedance of the chassis mount BNC female connector is 50 ohms. For proper operation of this
device, this connector should be connected to a 50 ohms coaxial cable with BNC male connector.
Any 50 ohms coaxial cable with a male BNC connector on one end and antenna on the other end
can be used. However, the recommended coaxial cable is LMR-900. The recommended antennas for
3 sectors are 900MHz 90° antennas vertical with gain better than 6dBi. The antenna for the GPS is
not required at this point. Additional details are included in xG Network Implementation Guide. Please
contact your xG sales representative for access to this document.

8. Connect the AC power cable to back of the power supply unit before connecting to the power outlet.
The BSN-250 operates on 100V/240V AC, 50/60Hz and single-phase AC power line. The device is
connected to the AC power line using a standard 3-prongs power connector. This is shown in Figure 3.
ATTENTION: Be sure to follow proper safety precautions when working with electric power cables.
9. Toggle the back power switch to ON, as shown in Figure 3.
