ABOUT THIS GUIDE Thank you for purchasing Airspan's EasyST 4.9 wireless access device (hereafter referred to as EasyST). The EasyST customer premise equipment (CPE) is part of Airspan'sAS.MAX family of WiMAX-based products. This section provides a preface by discussing the purpose, audience, organization, conventions, and customer support of this guide.
The power adapter provides interchangeable plug prongs to suit country electrical wall sockets. EasyST can be managed by Airspan'sAS.MAX Web-based management system using standard Web browsers that access the Web server located on the EasyST (refer to the WiMAX Web-based Management User's Guide), or alternatively, by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using standard and proprietary MIBs.

System Overview EasyST Models The EasyST is available in the following optional deployment models: EasyST with clip-on antenna containing four high-gain, integrated flat panel, 90-degree directional antennas, providing 360 degree coverage. EasyST selects the antenna with best RF reception with the BS by using the 6-pin Antenna Controller. EasyST providing plug-in expansion modules supporting the following interfaces: Wi-Fi and LAN switch (planned for future) VoIP and battery backup (planned for future)
605-0000-703 EasyST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev D Note: EasyST uses the antenna switch to select one of the four 90-degree antennas of the clip-on antenna. EasyST Protocols Stack The figure below displays a block diagram of the EasyST's network architecture, designed as a hierarchy of protocols (i.e.
System Overview Theory of Operation For basic operation, the EasyST requires no initial configuration--simply plug and play. Configuration is automatically performed over the air by the BS. The EasyST 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.
Note: 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. Minimum PC Requirements Ensure that your computer provides an Ethernet interface such as a Network Interface Card (that...

CONNECTING EASYST TO POWER EasyST is powered by an AC/DC power supply adapter which supplies the EasyST with 6 VDC and 4 Amperes. The AC/DC adapter is simply plugged into a standard electrical wall outlet (110/240 VAC; 50/60 Hz). The power adapter provides interchangeable prongs (e.g. American vs. European) that can be replaced to suit country electrical standards in which the EasyST is being installed.
Page 24
605-0000-703 EasyST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev D To connect the EasyST to the power supply: Before plugging the power cord into the electrical wall outlet, plug the AC/DC power adapter's power cable (i.e. DC power jack) into the EasyST's DC power socket. Plug the prongs of the AC/DC power adapter into the electrical wall outlet.
MOUNTING EASYST Warning: The EasyST must be mounted indoors. Warning: To prevent a fire hazard caused by overheating, do not place the EasyST on a carpeted surface where airflow is restricted. EasyST is a self-install indoor unit, requiring no professional technician. EasyST must be mounted indoors in a location that provides: High quality RF reception with the Internet service provider (i.e.
OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE To ensure a reliable, secure, and fast connection with your Internet Service Provider (ISP), you need to place your EasyST in a position that provides the best RF reception with the ISP (i.e. base station). To help you locate the best position, EasyST provides you with a LED indicator that indicates the strength of the RF signal with your ISP.
Page 27
Optimizing Performance The signal LED indicates the strength of the signal by measuring the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). SNR indicates received signal strength relative to background noise. The ratio is usually measured in decibels (dB). The higher the SNR ratio--the better the communication. The table below describes the EasyST signal LED with regards to SNR values: Color Status...
RESETTING TO DEFAULT SETTINGS A future release of the EasyST will allow you to apply factory default configuration settings to the EasyST. This is performed by pressing the LED button (located below the LED lights on the top panel) continuously for at least 10 seconds.
ATTACHING CLIP-ON ANTENNA Warning: Before attaching the clip-on antenna, ensure that the EasyST is not connected to the power source. Do not connect and disconnect antenna while the power is on. This can cause irreversible damage to the EasyST. The EasyST is supplied with the clip-on antenna already attached to the EasyST. However, in cases where it may have accidentally being removed, you can re-attach it by following the procedure described below.

605-0000-703 EasyST 49 Installation User Guide-Rev D For customers possessing EasyST models that implement a screw mechanism for securing the antenna to the EasyST, continue with the following steps: Flip the EasyST over so that its rear panel is visible. Insert the M3 25-mm flat-head Philips screw (supplied) into the hole that's located on the rear panel, behind the RJ-45 and DC power connectors, as shown in the figure below.
