Choosing locations

When choosing locations, please note the following:

1. First choose the location for the indoor unit:

– When choosing the location, note the specified temperature range of the indoor unit (see "Specifications" on page 23).

– The indoor unit is only suitable for indoor use. – The indoor unit can be operated either on a horizontal surface or mounted on a

wall. Always make sure the connections cannot become loose once the system has been put into service and check that the LEDs are clearly visible.

– Power supply: Power is supplied to the Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem via the indoor unit. Therefore, the location must be close to a suitable mains connection (cable length of the supplied power supply unit).

– Wall duct: To connect to the outdoor modem, the corresponding Ethernet cable must be fed through the wall to the outside of the building. It must be possible to make a suit-able wall duct at or close to the indoor unit. Please note that the maximum permitted cable length is 50 m.

– PC or network: Establishing a connection between the indoor unit and a PC or network-switch should ideally be possible from the location via the Ethernet cable. If the PC is moved from its original place, the indoor unit should still be able to be reached simply by using standard cable lengths.

2. Please note the following when setting up the antenna mast/modem:

– There should not be any obstructions (walls, trees etc.) in front of the antenna. The best results will be obtained if the outdoor modem is in sight of the WiMAX base station. If necessary, you can also reflect the radio waves off neighbouring buildings.

– The antenna mast must be structurally secure. Check how secure the various attachments are.

– The antenna mast must be within reach of the cable. Ideally, the Ethernet cable should be protected outside (from frost, sun, unauthorised and mechanical influ-ences etc.).

– The antenna mast should be positioned near a lightning conductor. A suitable lightning conductor must be installed where necessary.

Setting up the antenna mast

Information on how to install the antenna mast is not included in these installation instructions. Please observe all the safety provisions and other notes contained in the assembly instructions for the antenna mast. In particular, make sure the antenna mast has sufficient load capacity. If you are installing the mast on the roof, make sure the roof is fully sealed again afterwards.

If necessary, you can attach the mast brackets to the mast when you install it.

Protecting the mast against lightning

Preparation

◆ The outdoor modem is not designed to withstand being struck directly by lightning and must be protected accordingly. The antenna must therefore be installed in areas that are protected against lightning (Lightning Protection Zone 0B). The cor-responding separation distance (IEC 62305) must be complied with. Earthing (grounding) and lightning protection work may only be carried out by elec-tricians specifically qualified for such work.

◆ The appropriate earthing (grounding) clamps must be used to create an equipoten-tial bonding between a cable shield and an equipotential bonding bar that complies with regulations (for sources see "Earthing (gounding) clamps" on page 25).

Connecting the earthing (grounding) cable to the outdoor modem

Make sure you ground the metal casing of the outdoor modem according to the instruc-tions.

1. Undo or remove the M5 earthing (grounding) screw on the modem casing.

2. Attach the cable lug at the end of the earthing (grounding) cable.

Make sure when you do this that the cable lug cannot come loose. You can ensure this, for example, by crimping it twice (once on the flex and again on the insulation) or by applying an appropriately designed shrink tubing which covers the cable lug and the insulation.

3. Attach the cable lug to the casing with the M5 earthing (grounding) screw.

Make sure that the screwed connection cannot come loose. To ensure this, use a toothed contact disc (not supplied), which you fit between the cable lug and the earthing (grounding) screw.

The cable lug is not provided. Only use tin-plated cable lugs with eyelet (available from your retailer).

DO NOT screw the earthing (grounding) cable directly to the metal casing of the device, as this could lead to corrosion between the cable and the casing.

Assembling the outdoor modem

You basically have three options for installing the outdoor modem:

◆ Vertically on a mast (see below), or◆ Tilted up or down on a mast with an angled bracket (see "Angled installation on a

mast" on page 13). Choose the type of installation that allows the best alignment of modem to base station on your building.

◆ Directly attached to a wall

Vertical installation on a mast

1. Take the four bolts with the welded-on nuts and screw them into the housing with the shorter end of the bolts, so that the nuts are resting on the housing.

2. Attach the housing to the mast using the clamps and secure the clamps with the nuts.

13

Angled installation on a mast

Installing the modem using the supplied bracket allows two possible directions of incli-nation (up or down) and four different tilt angles each, depending on how you attach the bracket to the housing.

1. Fasten the bracket to the housing with the nuts welded onto the bolts:

– To have the modem facing up, fasten the bracket to the bottom edge of the hous-ing; to have the modem facing down, fasten the bracket to the top edge of the housing.

– Choose your preferred tilt angle: You get the largest tilt if you fit the bracket with the smaller notch facing inward, and you get the smallest tilt if you fit it with the larger notch facing outward.

2. Attach the housing to the mast using the clamps and secure it with the nuts.

2. Provisionally laying the Ethernet cable.

3. Checking connection options in the house.

4. Connecting an Ethernet cable to the outdoor modem.

Making a wall duct 1. Note how close you are to the indoor unit.

2. Check what types of wall ducts are suitable (wall or window duct) and make one.

Provisionally laying the Ethernet cableThe cable must satisfy the following conditions:

◆ For connecting the outdoor modem to the indoor unit, only use a round Ethernet cable which is approved for outdoor use.

◆ The outer diameter of the cable must correspond to the clamping area of the con-nector plug. This permitted diameter range is 5 mm to 8.5 mm.

◆ The cable must satisfy the requirements for cables used outdoors at the relevant installation location.The following influencing factors in particular must be taken into account:

– Ambient temperature– Rain, water vapour or accumulation of water– Presence of corrosive, contaminative or other chemical substances– Mechanical stresses (e.g. compression stress, tensile loading, torsional load,

bending stress, alternating stress etc.)– Animals (e.g. damage caused by rodents or insects)– Plants (e.g. mildew)– Radiation (e.g. UV radiation)

◆ The maximum permitted cable length is 50 m.◆ To comply with regulations, it may be necessary to ground the cable shield.◆ To protect the connected IT installation from power surges, you may need to use a

surge protection box (see "Surge protection box" on page 24).

Proceede as follows:1. Feed the non-assembled cable through the wall duct from inside to outside.

2. Lay the cable along the rough path it should take and, if possible, provisionally po-sition fixings.

Local building codes must be followed when constructing a wall duct or whatever method of wall penetration is used to pass the ethernet cable into the building.

If the scan was not successful:The integrated antenna is directional. This means it must be pointing roughly in the direction of a WiMAX base station in order to establish a radio connection. The access data must also have been entered correctly.

1. First check your access data by going back to the WiMAX configuration page.

2. Turn the modem approx. 20° and restart the scan. You may need to turn the anten-na several times.

The best results will be obtained if the outdoor modem is in sight of the WiMAX base station.

If a line of sight is not possible, you can reflect the radio waves off neighbouring buildings. For this, direct the antenna at the building it is to reflect off and not at the base station.

Precisely aligning the antenna

Once you have established a wireless connection to a WiMAX base station, align the antenna precisely using the Basic Setup Wizard. For this it can be useful if an assistant follows the alignment on the PC. Please ask the customer for support. If this is not pos-sible, read "Aligning the antenna with the acoustic response" on page 21.

1. Turn the antenna step by step and have the assistant watch the connection status on the PC.

2. When a connection to a WiMAX base station has been established, the assistant clicks on Next to make fine adjustments to the antenna.

The quality of the radio connection can be seen in the Signal quality area. The signal quality bar graph indicates the quality of the connection. You will also see the signal quality shown as a percentage as well as an assessment of the connection quality:

Turn the antenna a little at a time and have the assistant observe the signal strength display. Use this to move the antenna to the position with the best signal strength.

Excellent The wireless connection is at the highest level. Very good The wireless connection is very good. You can attempt to

improve the connection still further by turning the antenna slightly; however, this is not necessary.

Good The wireless connection is already good. Turn the antenna slightly to further improve the connection.

Sufficient The wireless connection has been established. Turn the antenna a little at a time to improve the connection.

No connection If you have turned or moved the antenna too far the wireless con-nection to the WiMAX base station will break up. Return the antenna to the position it was in when the connection was suc-cessfully established. The wireless connection to the WiMAX base station will be restored immediately.

Aligning the antenna with the acoustic responseIf neither you nor the assistant are able to check the signal strength on screen while the antenna is being aligned, you can monitor it via a radio system. To do this you will need, for example, two cordless phones, mobile phones or radio devices:

1. Activate Audible feedback on the configuration PC.

2. Establish an internal connection between the two handsets and switch on the loudspeaker on both devices.

3. Leave one handset next to the configuration PC and carry the other with you (belt clip).

You will now be informed of the signal strength by means of beeps. The closer together the sequence of beeps, the better the connection quality.

When the antenna is precisely aligned:Click on End.

Finishing off the assembly

1. Tighten the screw fixings.Please be aware of local laws. Installation should be performed by a qualified per-son.

2. Attach the Ethernet cable with cable clamps and cable ties. Make sure the cable is protected against the effects of pressure.

3. Brief the user on what to do if they have any problems or if they need to upgrade the system etc.
