| 3 | == 3.2 Site Hardware Installation Instructions == |
| 4 | |
| 5 | The Instructions in the Airspan Installation Guide (shipped with airspan BS) talk about the process of Installation. |
| 6 | Here are Notes from the BBN Installation. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Measure the distance between the mount point for the Airspan base station(BS) |
| 9 | and the closest network connection for provisioning the BS. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | The following parts are needed for installation: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | 1. 370+ W Power supply |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Even though Airspan 2.X Ghz operation has a maximum consumption of 370 Watts, -48V power supply rated for 450W is suggested. One candidate is [http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_2105164_-1 Mean Well SE-450-48]. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | 2. Power cable with custom connector (shipped with airspan BS) |
| 18 | |
| 19 | This power cable is an unearthed DC cable and is approx 75 feet |
| 20 | long. If that is long enough, it should be attached to the power supply as |
| 21 | shown in figure 1 |
| 22 | |
| 23 | [[Image(Air4gPS.jpg, width=300, align=right)]] |
| 24 | |
| 25 | In case longer cable is needed, use an off the shelf 18AWG 3C cable and solder it |
| 26 | together to reach the power source. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | 3. Appropriate length weatherproof CAT5E/CAT6 cable. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Bulk cable candidate for outdoor use is [http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/BELKIN-1000ft-CAT5E-DIRECT-BURIAL-CABLE/1302244.aspx Belkin Direct Burial Cable]. Once cable is in place, Ethernet RJ45 connectors have to be placed at both ends; make sure that the Ethernet cable is passed through the |
| 31 | "Weatherproof Ethernet connector" (shipped with airspan), before the head is put on. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | If you use fiber for data connectivity, you will need: |
| 34 | |
| 35 | * Fiber coupler[http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=2016 LC-LC] |
| 36 | * Appropriate length [http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=1689 fiber (50/125 multimode)] |
| 37 | |
| 38 | == 3.3 Site Software Installation Instructions == |
| 39 | |
| 40 | The Instructions in the Airspan Installation Guide (shipped with airspan BS) talk about the process of Installation. |
| 41 | The components for the software installation are: |
| 42 | |
| 43 | 1. Netspan Management Software |
| 44 | 2. Netspan Software License |
| 45 | 3. Windows server 2008 Edition License to run the Netspan software |
| 46 | 4. Server/laptop to run Windows machine |
| 47 | |
| 48 | The Airspan BS ''' does not power ON by default '''. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | Refer to Page 56 of Installation Guide in conjunction to these instructions. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Air4G-W24 base station has a built in web based interface and default IP 192.168.0.100 |
| 53 | |
| 54 | Connect the Ethernet cable to a network switch. Configure the PC with an IP address in the 192.168.0.xxx range |
| 55 | (e.g. 192.168.0.xxx subnet 255.255.255.0). |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Visit the web interface (192.168.0.100) |
6 | | [[Image(Air4gPS.jpg, 300)]] |
| 65 | Change the management IP and VLAN configuration to your site addressing scheme. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | Contact seskar (at) winlab (dot) rutgers (dot) edu to initiate license acquisition for netspan. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | Place the GPS device connected to Air4G-W24 in an area where it can obtain a Lock. |
