Basic Installation 2.3 Installation Overview Standard installation involves the following steps: 1. Verify that all components of the packing list, described in Section 2.1, are intact and verify availability of the required items listed in Section 2.2. 2. Install the unit and antenna(s) in optimal locations as described in Section 2.4.
In applications where no multipath propagation is expected, a single antenna is sufficient to ensure good performance levels. However, in cases where multipath propagation exists, BreezeCOM recommends that two antennas be used. This takes advantage of space diversity capabilities. By using two antennas per unit, the system can select the best antenna on a per-packet basis (every several milliseconds).
Basic Installation When installing a single antenna, modify the transmit diversity option to either antenna 1 or antenna 2, according to the antenna being used. 2.4.4 Antenna Polarization Antenna polarization must be the same at either end of the link. In most applications, the preferred orientation is vertical polarization.
Failure to do so may void the BreezeACCESS Product Warranty and may expose the end user to legal and financial liabilities. BreezeCOM and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation of government regulations associated with the installation of detached antennas.
Basic Installation Figure 2-1. Wall Mounting the Unit Special slots have been added to the wall mounts to allow for unobtrusive cable installation. These slots should be used to fasten cables coming out of the unit to the wall mounts, eliminating loose or tangled cable installations.

If excessive pressure is applied to tighten the screws, the torque key will break. Note: Do not attempt to tighten the screws any further. This may damage the connectors on the BreezeACCESS SU-ID unit. SU-I/ID Installation Manual BreezeACCESS MMDS Series...
Basic Installation 2.7 Connecting the Unit to the Power Supply and to the CPE The unit operates on a power input of 5V DC, supplied by the power transformer included with the unit. 1. Plug the output jack of the power transformer into the DC input jack located on the rear panel of the unit.
3. Press Enter. The Select Access Level menu appears. Select the access level according to your authorized access level. You will be requested to enter your password. After entering the correct password press enter. The main menu appears (refer to Figure 3-1). SU-I/ID Installation Manual BreezeACCESS MMDS Series...

Aligning the Antenna 4. ALIGNING THE ANTENNA Omni and low gain antennas do not require alignment due to their wide radiation pattern. High gain antennas have a narrow beamwidth, necessitating an alignment procedure in order to optimize the link. For Subscriber Units with directional antenna(s), you can either use the LED indicators on the front panel of the unit or view the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) on the monitor.
For best performance it is recommended that the RSSI be higher than 76. 5. Press the Esc key to stop the test. 6. Tighten the U-bolts (or metal band) over the antenna to secure it to the pole. SU-I/ID Installation Manual BreezeACCESS MMDS Series...
Maximum Data Rate Configuration 5. MAXIMUM DATA RATE CONFIGURATION 1. If the average RSSI reading using the Average RSSI Continuous Display is lower than 76, the default data rate of 3 Mbps is too high and the data rate of the unit should be configured accordingly: 2.
