Typical installation scheme:
Figure 2-2: BreezeAIR - General Installation Scheme
Installation process summary:

1) Select the appropriate location for the Outdoor unit and the indoor PoE Outlet.
2) Mount the Outdoor unit (RJ-45 ports facing down). When using external antenna,
mount the antenna and connect it to the Outdoor unit.
3) Connect a ground cable between the Outdoor unit and an appropriate grounding
point.
Page 8 of 29
4) Connect the Outdoor-to-Indoor shielded CAT5 cable to the Outdoor unit and route it
to the selected location of the PoE. Assemble the enclosed connector on the cable.
5) Mount the Indoor POE and connect:
 Outdoor-to-Indoor cable to the ‘PWR LAN-OUT’ port.
 CAT5 Ethernet cable (from network) to the ‘LAN-IN’ port.
 AC Input to the power (100-240VAC).
6) Align the antenna and secure the unit by fastening the mounting screws.
2.3.1 Select the best location
Select the best location for the outdoor unit using the following guidelines:
 The outdoor unit can be pole or wall mounted.
 The location should allow easy access to the unit for installation.
 When using an external antenna, the unit should be installed as near as possible to
the antenna.
 Make sure clear Line of Sight between the sites.
Path of clearest propagation

A propagation path is the path that signals traverse between the antennas of any two
bridges. The “line” between two antenna sites is an imaginary straight line, which may be
drawn between the two antennas. Any obstacles in the path of the “line” degrade the
propagation path. The best propagation path is, therefore, a clear line of sight with good
clearance between the “line” and any physical obstacle.
Physical obstacles
Any physical object in the path between MU and SU may cause signal attenuation.
Common obstructions are buildings, trees and hills located in the path between the two
sites. Install outdoor antennas high enough to avoid any obstacles, which may block the
signal.
Minimal path loss

Path loss is determined by several factors:
 Distance between sites – Path loss is lower when distance between sites is
shorter.
 Clearance – Path loss is minimized when there is a clear line of sight. The number,
location, and size of obstacles determine their contribution to path loss.
 Antenna height – Path loss is lower when antennas are positioned higher. Antenna
height is the distance from the imaginary line connecting the antennas at the two
sites to “ground” level. “Ground” level in an open area is the actual ground. In dense
urban areas, “ground” level is the average height of the buildings between the
antenna sites.
Minimizing path loss maximizes link’s signal strength, throughput and availability.

2.3.3 Antennas
2.3.3.1 General
BreezeAIR system supports two types of antennas:
 Integrated antenna
 External antenna
Selecting the antenna model is according to the required range and performance.

Note: To comply with the regulation EIRP limits, the outdoor unit-transmit power
needs to be adjusted according to the installed antenna gain. Therefore a
professional installation of the transmitter is required. The outdoor unit must
be configured at the time of installation by qualified personnel. Fail to
comply with regulation rules may expose the installer to legal liabilities.


IMPORTANT! On lab/office tests of links with external antennas, connection should
be done via the antennas. In case direct connection is required (with
RF cables), make sure to have a minimum of 50dB attenuation on the
RF cables to avoid any damage to the radios.

2.3.3.2 Tx power
The outdoor unit transmit power is configurable. The unit limits the max transmit power
according to the antenna gain, the regulation and the frequency band. The installer, if
needed, can select a lower power.
Regulation of the unit defines the frequency band supported by the units:
 FCC: 2.5GHz, 4.9GHz, 5.8 GHz.
 ETSI: 3.x GHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz.
 Mexico: 4.95-4.99 GHz, 5.15-5.35 GHz, 5.8 GHz and 10GHz.
 Other regulation.
The unit supports two levels of privilege password: regular user and administrator user.
Since Tx power level affect compliance of the unit with regulation rules, precautions are
built into the system to keep the end user from adjusting the Tx power level above the
regulation limits. Therefore, the following parameters are Configurable only by administrator
user:
 Antenna gain and cable loss.
 Tx Power.
Please refer to BreezeAIR_configuration_manual.pdf for more information.

FCC - 5.8 GHz

IMPORTANT! Antennas must be selected from a list of Telrad Networks approved
antennas. Please refer to Appendix C – FCC approved antennas. 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 in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204.

According to FCC part 15.247(b):

(1) The maximum peak output power of intentional radiator shall not exceed 1 Watt (+30
dBm).
(3) If transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used, the peak output
power from the intentional radiator shall be reduced below the maximum peak power (of
+30 dBm) as appropriate, by the amount in dB that the directional gain of antenna exceeds
6 dBi.
That is to say that the maximum EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) shall not exceed
+36 dBm.
(ii) Systems operating in 5.8 GHz exclusively for fixed, point-to-point operations may
employ transmitting antennas with directional gain greater than 6 dBi without any
corresponding reduction in transmitter peak output power.
That is to say that the maximum EIRP can exceed +36 dBm in point-to-point applications.
Dynamic range of Tx power in BreezeAIR is 40 dB.

In Point-to-Multipoint mode, the unit will automatically reduce the Tx power according to
the antenna gain and regulatory. For example:
 For integrated antenna of 23 dBi, the max allowed Tx power is 13 dBm (10 dBm in
MIMO) to meet the EIRP limitation of 36 dBm.
 For integrated antenna of 28.5 dBi, the max allowed Tx power is 7 dBm (4 dBm in
MIMO) to meet the EIRP limitation of 36 dBm.
FCC – 4.9 GHz
According to FCC part 90.1215:

(a)(1) The maximum conducted output power should not exceed:
Channel bandwidth High power maximum conducted
(MHz) output power (dBm)
5 27
10 30
20 33
Page 13 of 29
(2) High power point-to-point and point-to-multipoint operations (both fixed and temporary-
fixed rapid deployment) may employ transmitting antennas with directional gain up to 26
dBi without any corresponding reduction in the maximum conducted output power or
spectral density. Corresponding reduction in the maximum conducted output power and
peak power spectral density should be the amount in decibels that the directional gain of
the antenna exceeds 26 dBi.
FCC – 2.5 GHz
According to FCC 47 CFR part 27.50:
(i) The maximum EIRP of a main, booster or base station shall not exceed 33 dBW
10log(X/Y) dBW, where X is the actual channel width in MHz and Y is either 6 MHz if prior to
transition or the station is in the MBS following transition or 5.5 MHz if the station is in the
LBS and UBS following transition, except as provided in paragraph (h)(1)(ii) of this section.
As such, the following limits apply

Channel bandwidth High power maximum conducted
(MHz) output power (dBm)
5 62.2

only for use prior to permanent mounting, so any available wall outlet in close
proximity to your mounting location is suitable.
2. Connect the Outdoor-to-Indoor cable to the PoE ‘PWR LAN-OUT’ port (this port
supplies 48 VDC in addition to the Ethernet data).
BreezeAIR is aligned using 2 methods:
2.3.4.1 Using the WEB interface

1. Connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable from a PC to the PoE ‘LAN-IN’ port.

Note: Do not attach standard CAT5 cable from the Outdoor Unit directly to the PC.
Connecting the PC directly to the Outdoor Unit may cause damaged to the PC
Ethernet NIC.

2. Connect to the radio's WEB interface, monitoring tab.
3. Set Monitoring Rate to 1 second.
4. Rotate the antenna for maximum RSSI with zero PER. To avoid saturation, make
sure the RSSI level does not exceed –25 dBm.

Note: Do not stand in front of transmitting antenna. Rotate the antenna from the
rear side.

5. Mount and secure the unit by fastening the mounting screws.
2.3.4.2 Using the built in RSSI buzzer

BreezeAIR units have a built in RSSI buzzer that indicates the best mounting location.
The buzzer is beeping at four tone levels:
 Fast – highest signal obtained so far.
 Medium – the current RSSI is lower than the highest signal obtained so far.
 Slow – the current RSSI is much lower than the highest signal obtained so far.
 No sound – no reception of the base station at all (or the buzzer is off).
To align the unit using the RSSI buzzer, please perform the following steps.
1. When the unit is first connected to power, the buzzer will be automatically activated
in one of the following modes:
 No sound – there is no reception.
 Fast beep – there is a reception (which is currently the maximum signal
obtained).
2. Set the MU at fixed modulation of BPSK ½ in both uplink and downlink.
Page 15 of 29
3. Take the unit to the selected location and align the antenna in the link’s direction.
Listen to the buzzer tone level. Any sound (fast, medium or slow) indicates a
reception.
4. Change and rotate the antenna to the left, right, up and down, scanning for the
maximum reception point.
5. After the scan is complete, align the antenna to the location where the buzzer beeps
at the fast rate, indicating the maximum reception.
6. Mount and secure the unit by fastening the mounting screws.
7. Set the MU back to adaptive modulation (AUTO) for both uplink and downlink.
8. Disable the RSSI buzzer.
To activate/deactivate the buzzer manually, use the Link Manager advanced window.

Protection from lightning
US National Electric Department of Energy Handbook 1996 specifies that radio and
television lead-in cables must have adequate surge protection at or near the point of entry
to the building. The code specifies that any shielded cable from a detached antenna must
have the shield directly connected to a 10 AWG wire that connects to the building ground
electrode.
The ground wire shall be terminated with UL listed lug with a diameter of 0.2 inch (5.2
mm).
The ground lug will need to be suitable for terminating on aluminum materials, such as the
use of an aluminum connector and aluminum ground conductor.

2.5 Synchronization
BreezeAIR is designed to work with co-located radios. This means that two or more units
can be mounted close to each other.
Time synchronization allows reusing frequencies between co-located links and configured
with the Link Manager advanced window.
The synchronization signal is generated by an external GPS (1 PPS) when synchronizing
multiple towers, or by a master MU when synchronizing units on the same tower.
External synchronization:
Synchronize multiple towers with one GPS unit per tower.
Figure 2-10: External time synchronization
Internal synchronization:
Synchronize multiple MUs on one tower without any external device.

8. Appendix D – Lightning Protection

All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit or
induced current from a near strike. A direct lightning strike may cause serious damage even
if these guidelines are followed. Lightning protection and grounding practices in local and
national electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, service outages, and serious
injury.
Possible reasons for lightning damage:
1. Poorly grounded antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into
equipment.
2. Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment can cause equipment
failures from lightning induced currents.
A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth without
passing through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning protection system does not
prevent lightning from striking, and instead provides a means for preventing damage to
equipment by providing a low resistance path for the discharge of energy to travel safely to
ground. Improperly grounded connections are also a source of noise that can cause
sensitive equipment to malfunction.
A good grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a lightning strike away
from the building and equipment. The remaining energy on the Ethernet cable shield and
conductors can be directed safely to ground by installing a lightning arrestor in series with
the cable.
If you have determined that it is appropriate to install lightning protection for your system,
the following general industry practices are provided as a guideline only:
1. The AC wall outlet ground for the indoor POE adapter should be connected to the
building grounding system.
2. Install a lightning arrestor in series with the Ethernet cable at the point of entry to
the building. The grounding wire should be connected to the same termination point
used for the tower or mast.
3. Provide direct grounding from the unit, the mounting bracket, the antenna, and the
Ethernet cable surge protection to the same ground bus on the building. Use the
grounding screws provided for terminating the ground wires.
