  • Page 13: Theory Of Operation

    System Overview Theory of Operation For basic operation, the ProST requires no initial configuration--simply plug and play. Configuration is automatically performed over the air by the BS. The ProST is preconfigured by the operator at the BS (using Netspan) with service flow parameters such as the maximum information rate, the committed information rate, the maximum latency, and maximum jitter.

  • Page 14: Getting Started

    Package Contents Examine the AS.MAX shipping container. If you notice any damage, or missing items as listed in the Packing List, immediately notify the carrier that delivered the unit and contact an Airspan representative. The ProST kit should contain the following items:...

    605-0000-707 ProST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev C determines the speed at which packets are transmitted through the specific SDA-4S port. For example, if the device to which the port is connected is running at 100 Mbps, the port connection will transmit packets at 100 Mbps. Conversely, if the device to which the port is connected is running at 10 Mbps, the port connection will transmit packets at 10 Mbps.

  • Page 21: Mounting

    Note: The standard ProST kit provides wall-mounting brackets. If you want to pole mount the ProST, contact your nearest Airspan distributor for pricing and ordering of pole-mounting brackets. Note: A minimum of 3-meter separation is required between mounted ProSTs and existing customer radio equipment when transmitting on different sectors (see figure below).

    605-0000-707 ProST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev C For wall mounting, rotation is restricted in the horizontal plane only, as shown in the figure below (top view): Pole Mounting Pole mounting allows the ProST to be easily adjusted in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation) planes for antenna alignment.
  • Page 25 Mounting To pole mount the ProST: Attach the mounting bracket to the ProST: Align the mounting bracket with the ProST's mounting holes so that the mounting bracket's side with the built-in nut is aligned with the ProST's mounting holes furthest from the ProST's front panel, as shown in the figure below.
  • Page 26 605-0000-707 ProST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev C Attach the U-bolt to the pole: Place one U-bolt around the pole, and then insert the U-bolt screw side through the two corresponding holes (horizontally parallel) on the clamping bracket. Slide an M8-flat washer and M8-spring lock washer onto each U-bolt screw side (ensure that the flat washer is adjacent to the clamping bracket).
