- Install in accordance with all national, regional, or local electrical and building codes. Cisco expressly requires that when using Cisco electronic equipment always follow the basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, and injury to people or property.
Information to User The BS has been authorized as a radio frequency transmitter under the appropriate rules of the Federal Communications Commission. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Cisco could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
There must not be a switch or disconnect device installed in the ground cabling. A UL listed disconnect device, such as a circuit breaker, must be installed between the power supply and BS chassis connections. The BWX 8415 BS requires a 60V, 15A, 1 sec. max break time circuit breaker.
Page 15
The BS Chassis has an external ground lug provided. The “+” terminal on the external power supply is considered “Return or RTN” on a -48V system. Do not remove protective earth connection before disconnecting the BS from the DC power supply. BWX 8415 Basestation Installation and Commissioning Guide OL-19519-01...

3.4 BWX 8415 Basestation Components A Cisco BWX Mobile WiMAX system provides wireless broadband access to a core network, typically to the Internet or to any local or wide area network (LAN/WAN). When a service provider has established BS’s in a given coverage area, the subscriber connects a BWX 350 USB Modem or other WiMAX-certified device to their computer to access the network without the need for a professional installer.
