- Page 3 - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. The ASWipLL system must be installed by professional and experienced technicians who are familiar with radio frequency (RF) issues such as gains and losses, as well as local building and safety codes. Failure to do so will void the product warranty and may expose the end user to excessive RF hazard.

Q u i c k I n s t a l l a t i o n & C o n f i g u r a t i o n G u i d e AS W i p L L 9 0 0 M H z Basic Design of ASWipLL Radios This chapter describes the basic design and physical dimensions of the ASWipLL BSR, SPR, and IDR devices. 1.1. BSR The BSR, installed at the Base Station, is an encased outdoor radio module providing a 9 pin D-type port for RS-232 serial interface and a 15 pin D-type port for data, synchronization, and power interfaces. -
Page 7: Idr
For IDR antenna alignment, the IDR provides LEDs that indicate received signal strength (RSS). These LEDs are described in the table below: RSS level Color Status (ASWipLL Release 4.2B and later) RSSI LEDs Green All LEDs on RSSI ≥ -60 dBm (LO, MED, HI) Two LEDs (LO;... -
Page 8: Site Preparation And Planning
Maximum received signal strength (RSS) at CPE by antenna alignment: For the IDR, RSS can be measured by the IDR's built-in RSS LEDs; for the SPR, RSS can be measured by Airspan’s WipConfig program or by connecting Airspan's RSS LED Plug Adapter. -
Page 9: External Antenna Considerations
3.2. Antenna Polarization The performance of ASWipLL 900 may vary dramatically depending on the polarization of antennas, i.e. vertical or horizontal. Therefore, it is recommended that the operator, during installation, compare the performance between horizontal and vertical polarization of external antennas, and use the polarization providing the best performance. -

5. Adjust the BSR/SPR horizontal position by rotating the BSR/SPR about the pole, and then tighten the U- bolt. BSR/SPR positioning is obtained in two planes by adjustment of the mounting bracket assembly as shown in the figure below. 13070311-02 Airspan Networks Inc. -
Page 12: Wall Mounting
Note: Airspan does not provide screws for attaching the mounting bracket to the wall. The screw size depends on the structure of the building to which the bracket is to be attached. When selecting screw sizes, consideration must be given to the weight of the BSR/SPR and load that may be induced in windy conditions. -

Page 20: Initial Configuration
1) For establishing a link in bridge mode, ensure IP addressing scheme enables IP connectivity between PC and devices. 2) For establishing a link in router mode, refer to the ASWipLL Commissioning Manual. 8.1. Default Settings Airspan’s factory default settings for the ASWipLL devices are listed in the following table:... - Page 21 Air MAC Address: enter the BSR’s Air MAC address (0x0000 through 0xFFFF), e.g. 0x1200 Notes: 1) For the Air MAC address, Airspan recommends using only the most significant bytes (MSB), e.g. the two left-most bytes, and not the least significant bytes (LSB), e.g. the right-most bytes. For example, a typical Air MAC address would be “AB00”, where the zeros represent the LSB.
