Before any communication between ProST and BS can occur, the ProST must be positioned in a location that provides sufficient RF reception. To join a network, the ProST needs to perform a few tasks. First, the "Network Entry" process (defined in 802.16-2004) begins with the ProST scanning for a downlink (DL) signal from the base station, and then synchronizing to the DL channel.

ProST Hardware Installation User Guide 5.3 Mounting the SDA-4S The SDA-4S Type II adapters (all types) can be mounted either horizontally on a desktop or vertically on a wall. 5.3.1 Desktop Mounting Desktop mounting is made possible by the existence of four feet, each located on the four corners of the SDA-4S bottom panel.
Note: The SDA-4S is supplied with a 1-metre AC power lead assembly. Therefore, ensure the unit is mounted within reachable distance to the customer's mains power outlet. Note: The maximum cable run between SDA-4S and ProST is 100 meters. Therefore, ensure the unit is mounted within reachable distance. Page 43...
Note: Use CAT-5e unshielded cable only. 6.1.1 Connecting the SDA-1 Type II The ProST connects to the SDA-1 using a CAT 5Ee cable with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors on either end. The ProST provides a 15-pin D-type port for interfacing with the SDA-1. However, for allowing the use of RJ-45 connectors, your ProST kit includes a DB15-to-RJ45 adapter that can easily be attached to the ProST's 15-pin D-type port.
To connect the ProST to the SDA-1: 1. Attach the DB15 side of the DB15-to-RJ45 adapter to the ProST's 15-pin D-type port (female), labeled DATA & PWR. 2. Plug the RJ-45 connector of the Category 5 Ethernet cable (not supplied) into the RJ-45 port of the DB15-to-RJ45 adapter.
However, for allowing the use of RJ-45 connectors, your ProST kit includes two DB15-to- RJ45 adapters that can easily be attached to the 15-pin D-type ports of the ProST and SDA-4S. The cable setup for ProST to SDA-4S connectivity is as follows:...
Figure 35 ‐ ProST & SDA‐4S 6.2 Connecting to LAN Network The ProST typically interfaces with the subscriber's LAN network using the indoor SDA-1 Type II adapter. This adapter provides one 100BaseT interface. However, optional IDU adapters (SDA- 4S Type II, SDA-4S/VL Type II or SDA-4S/DC Type II) are offered that provide four LAN ports for interfacing with the subscriber's LAN network.
Function 8-Pin RJ-45 To connect the ProST to the subscriber's network/PC (via SDA-1 Type II): 1. Plug the supplied Category 5e Ethernet cable into the SDA-1's RJ-45 port labeled LAN/PC. 2. Plug the loose end of the Category 5e Ethernet cable into the computer's LAN port.
ProST Hardware Installation User Guide 6.2.2 Connecting the SDA-4S Type II, SDA-4S/VL Type II or SDA-4S/DC Type II The SDA-4S Type II, SDA-4S/VL Type II or SDA-4S/DC adapters (referred hereafter as SDA-4S) provide four RJ-45 (100BaseT) ports for interfacing with the subscriber's LAN network. The difference between these adapters is that the SDA-4S/VL supports VLAN functionality at the ports.
Note: For pinout refer to SDA-1 Type II above. To connect the SDA-MSG’s Radio port to Ethernet network and the RJ 45 port to ProST: 1. Plug the CAT 5e Ethernet cable into the MSG unit 8-pin RJ-45 LAN port.
Note: For pinout refer to SDA-1 Type II above. To connect the SDA-WiFi’s LAN port(s) to Ethernet network and the RJ 45 port to ProST: 1. Plug a CAT 5e Ethernet cable into one or more of the SDA-WiFi unit's 8-pin RJ-45 LAN ports.
Surge Immunity standard EN 61000-4-5. 7.1 DC Power Source ProST can be connected directly to a DC power supply unit that supplies 10 – 52 VDC (0.2 to 0.9 A; 15W maximum, assuming up to 100-m cable length between ProST and power source).
Figure 41 ‐ ProST SDA‐4SDC power connection 7.3 AC Power Source ProST is powered from an AC power source when implementing the SDA-1 Type II, which is plugged directly into a standard electrical wall outlet (110/240 VAC). The optional IDU adapters (SDA-4S Type II and SDA-4S/VL Type II) also power ProST from the subscriber's AC electrical wall outlet.
ProST Hardware Installation User Guide The AC power cabling consists of the following stages: C hanging SDA-1 Type II plug prongs P lugging SDA-1 into wall outlet 7.3.1.1 Changing the SDA-1 Type II Plug Prongs The SDA-1 Type II allows you to attach plug prongs suited to the electrical wall socket of the country in which you are installing the equipment.

11 Connecting External Antenna The ProST model without a built-in antenna provides an N-type port for connecting a third-party external antenna. The addition of an external antenna allows greater RF sector coverage than the standard ProST built-in antenna model. The external antenna is typically implemented in scenarios where the ProST is deployed at relatively far distances from the base station.
