Introduction:

xMax Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) Base Transceiver Station (BTS) is a
transceiver device. The device operates in the unlicensed 900 MHz band under Part 15 of
the FCC's rules. The bandwidth of the device is 26MHz (902-928MHz). The device is
used for communicating with xMax Handsets operating in the unlicensed 900 MHz band
under Part 15 of the FCC's rules. This device is a commercial unit and should be installed
by licensed technician. This device is capable of transmitting/receiving voice and data
services to and from xMax handsets. The xMax VOIP BTS is installed with all the
necessary software to make wireless VOIP phone calls using xG proprietary physical
layer technology.

Notice: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

Notice: Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by xG could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

AC Power Port:

AC Power: The device operates of 110V/220VAC; 50/60Hz and single-phase AC power
line. The device is connected to the AC power line5 using a standard 3-prong power
connector. This is shown in the following pictures:

Figure 3: Power Connector and Rear Toggle Switch

The Toggle switch on the rear end (near the power connector) is the main switch. This
switch is used to turn ON and turn OFF the device.

The device has a second Toggle switch installed at the front of the device. This is shown
in the following picture:

Figure 4: BTS Front View with Front Toggle Switch

In a typical rack mount installation, access to the rear side is sometimes difficult. So the
Toggle switch in the front is used to turn the device ON and OFF.

To turn ON the device, both the rear and front switch has to be in the ON position (This
is labeled ‘1’ on the switch). The device is turned OFF when either of the switches is
flipped to OFF position (labeled as’0’ on the switch).

Antenna Ports:

The device has 4 antenna ports. Only one port has the Chassis Mount BNC connector
installed. The remaining three ports are open and no connector is installed on these slots.
These open slots are used for future expansion of the device.

A picture of the antenna port is shown below:

Figure 5: Antenna Ports

The impedance of the chassis mount BNC female connector is 50 Ohms. For proper
operation of this device, this connector is connected to a 50 ohms coaxial cable with BNC
male connector. Any 50 ohms coaxial cable with female BNC connector on one end and
antenna on the other end can be used. However, the recommended coaxial cable is LMR-

900. The recommended antenna for this unit is 902-928MHz omni-directional antenna
with either gain ranging from unity to 6dBi.

Before turning ON the device, please connect the antenna using the recommended
coaxial cable to the chassis mount BNC connector installed on the rear of the unit. The
cable and antenna acts like a load to the xMax VOIP BTS. Never turn the unit ON
without installing the cable and antenna.

Powering ON the xMax VOIP BTS:

Follow the following steps to turn on the device:

1- Toggle the front and rear switch in the OFF position.
2- Connect the power chord to the AC (110V main line)
3- Connect the coaxial cable and antenna to the Antenna port.
4- Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet Port.
5- Flip the rear power switch in the ON position.
6- Flip the front power switch in the ON position.

At this time, you will hear fans running inside the device and you will notice the left most
LED turn green. The device is powered ON.

Powering OFF the xMax VOIP BTS:

Follow the following steps to turn OFF the device:

1- Flip the front toggle switch in the OFF position. The fans inside the unit will stop

and the Green LED (the left most LED in the Status Indicator) will be changed to
RED. The device is turned OFF.

2- To turn off the power supply, flip the rear toggle switch in the OFF position. The

RED led will turn OFF, indicating the device is completely turned OFF.
