Line Voltage
Before connecting this instrument to the power line, make sure that the voltage of the power source matches the
requirements of the instrument.
Laser
All personnel involved in equipment installation, operation and maintenance must be aware that laser radiation is invisible.
Therefore, although protective devices generally prevent direct exposure to the beam, personnel must strictly observe the
applicable safety precautions, and in particular, must avoid staring into optical connectors, either directly or using optical
instruments.
Remember that observing safety precautions is not a matter of personal choice; ignoring safety puts all people within the
line-of-sight in danger.

Chapter 1: System Description The BreezeCOMPACT Solution
........................................................
........................................................
INFORMATION
In the current release, BreezeCOMPACT1000 and 3000 support all three topologies.
Note that BreezeCOMPACT2000 supports only the first topology (Single Sector, Single Carrier).
........................................................
This configuration is commonly used with frequency reuse 2, where the two antennas connected to the BreezeCOMPACT
........................................................
are located back to back. This configuration is not applicable for BreezeCOMPACT2000.
1.1.4 Antennas
In the system architecture, the antenna is approached as an independent element. This provides the operator with the
flexibility to select the antenna’s source according to its supplier policy. To ensure the availability of antennas that
complement the solution, Telrad works closely with several antenna suppliers to ensure availability of antennas that comply
with its requirements.
In cases where the operator prefers other antenna vendors, Telrad can provide a recommended antenna specification based
on the required antenna types.
Antennas may support mechanical down-tilt (MDT) using a suitable mounting kit, or electrical down-tilt (EDT) that may be
either fixed or adjustable using a special adjustment screw.
In addition to a range of standard commercial antennas, Telrad also offers a special attached antenna designed for convenient
installation on top of the BreezeCOMPACT unit. For the BreezeCOMPACT unit, a special mounting kit allows installation
of a standard antenna on top of the unit to minimize the space required for installation.
For details about the antennas offered by Telrad, refer to “Antennas” on page 28.
1.1.5 GPS
GPS is used to synchronize the air link frames of Intra-site and Inter-site located BTSs, in order to ensure that in all Base
Stations, the air frame will start at the same time, and that all Base Stations switch from transmit (downlink) to receive
(uplink) at the same time. This synchronization is necessary to prevent Intra-site and Inter-site interference and Base Station
saturation (assuming that all Base Stations are operating with the same frame size and with the same downlink/uplink ratio).
The all-outdoor GPS Receiver is a pole-mountable GPS receiver and antenna in a single environmentally protected enclosure
that is powered from the unit.
From R5.0 and up, GPS Chaining is supported, where the chaining enables use of a single GPS receiver for several
collocated units. The figure below describes the GPS chaining connectivity.

SNMP-based management using StarManager (or another network management system customized to support
management of the system).
INFORMATION
Even if supported by network routing, remote management from a station behind a management system
(via the wireless link) should be avoided.
This chapter describes how to manage the system using the Monitor application. For information on managing the system
using StarManager, refer to the applicable documentation.
INFORMATION
Generally, it is recommended to use the Monitor program only for initial configuration to enable remote
management, and to perform additional configuration and maintenance using StarManager.
........................................................
Direct local management using the Monitor program can be performed via the Local Management interface. The
default local management IP address is 172.31.0.1, and the default Subnet Mask for this address is 255.255.255.0.
The PC used for accessing the Monitor program should be set to IP address 172.31.0.4 or any other address in the
range 172.31.0.4–172.31.0.254.
Connect the PC to the Ethernet port used for Local Management. In the current release, the Local Management
interface is always on the DAT3 port.
The Enter the password message is displayed. Enter the password and press the Enter key to get to the Main menu.
The default password is installer.
Management using either SNMP or the Monitor program can also be performed via the External Management
interface. For details about the connectivity parameters of this interface, refer to “IP Interfaces” on page 53.
See “L1 & L2” on page 56 for details about the Ethernet port used for the External Management interface.
Connection of the applicable Ethernet port to the remote management device should typically be performed via a
network device configured to support the External Management interface VLAN ID (the default is 12).
If the PC is connected to the Ethernet port of the unit via a switching device, the IP address of the PC should be set
to an address in the subnet of the External Management interface. The default is IP address 192.168.1.1 and Subnet

........................................................
3.7.2.1.2 Operator ID
The unique identifier of the wireless network operator. The same Operator ID must be used by all BSs in the managed
wireless network. A number in the range 1–16777215. The Operator ID used in the system is in the format A.B.C, where A,
B and C are from 0 to 255. The Operator used in the Monitor program is an integer that is calculated by the formula
A*65536+B*256+C. For example, an Operator ID of 1.1.1 is translated to 1*65536+1*256+1=65793.
3.7.2.1.3 Name
The name of the BS. An optional descriptive parameter. A string of up to 32 printable characters.
Calculated according to the Bandwidth configured for the Radio Cluster and the Topology Type. In the current release
(supports only One Sector, One Carrier topology), the BS Calculated Bandwidth equals the Radio Cluster’s Bandwidth.
The single sector Idle Mode capability provides the benefits of MS power savings and manageable total sector active and
non-active users, together with reduced overhead on the back-haul network.
The Idle Mode (IM) mechanism enables an MS to become unavailable on the air interface, thus freeing operational resources
and preserving MS power. During IM operation, an MS switches off its transmission and reception capabilities, and becomes
available for DL broadcast control messaging, such as MS Paging, in a periodic manner. Using a paging broadcast, the BS
can indicate, if necessary, for the MS to exit from IM and return into normal operation mode. The paging control message is
sent over the DL of a set of BSs simultaneously. This set is called a Paging Group (PG). In the current release, each Paging
Group includes a single BS.
During IM, the MS performs location updates when moving from one PG to another. While in the same PG, the MS does not
need to transmit in the UL and can be paged in the DL if there is traffic targeted at it.
The range is from 0 to 65535. 0 means that Idle Mode is not enabled. If Idle Mode is enabled (Paging Group ID is not 0), the
value should be unique in the Radio Access Network (different Paging Group ID for each BS). Idle Mode should be either
enabled in all units in the network (Paging Group ID other than 0) or disabled in all units (Paging Group ID = 0). A
combination in the same Radio Access Network of units with Paging Group ID of 0 (Idle Mode disabled) and units with
Paging Group ID other than 0 (Idle Mode enabled) should be avoided.
A change in the Paging Group ID takes effect after the next reset.

In MIMO Matrix A or B mode, the system can use either MIMO Matrix A or MIMO Matrix B. The selection between
Matrix A and Matrix B is performed automatically for each MS according to link conditions and supported MS capabilities,
as follows:
MIMO Matrix A for Coverage Gain: In a configuration with multiple transmit/receive antennas, a single data stream is
transmitted in parallel over multiple paths. A mathematical algorithm known as Space Time Codes (STC) is used to
encode the data streams to make them orthogonal to each other. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver
side, resulting in increased range and better throughput for subscribers that are difficult to reach (for example, deep
indoors).
MIMO Matrix B for Increased Capacity: This flavor of MIMO, also known as Spatial Multiplexing MIMO
(SM-MIMO), sends an independent data stream over each antenna. Thus, when signal conditions are good, the data rate
is increased and in excellent conditions may be doubled.

3.7.2.8 Scheduler
Scheduling uncommitted (above the maximum reserved rate) traffic can be done using one of the following options:
Equal Time (ET) scheduling mode, in which air resources are scheduled in a fair manner that is proportional to the users'
excess traffic (maximum sustained rate - maximum reserved rate) SLAs.
Equal Rate (ER) scheduling mode, in which air resources are allocated to users aiming at ensuring data rate fairness
between users proportional to their excess traffic SLAs.
Assuming a sector with diversity (different channels conditions) of active users, an ET scheme enables higher aggregate
sector throughput at the expense of data-rate fairness among users, while an ER scheduling scheme ensures maximum
data-rate fairness among users at the expense of lower aggregate sector throughput.
Using an ER scheduling scheme exposes the system to excessive allocation of air resources to highly active users having
relatively poorer channel conditions. To ensure data-rate fairness, more resources must be allocated to these users compared
to users with relatively good channel conditions. The effect of a small number of such users within the sector is reflected by
reduced aggregate sector throughput as well as degradation of achievable rates for all users.
To protect against abusing users, an instantaneous rate threshold can be defined within the scheduling scheme in which the
amount of air resources for users with continuous instantaneous rate below the threshold is being limited. The more the
abusing users' instantaneous rate is below the threshold, the more resource allocation limitations are applied.
No protection.
Low protection level: Protection against users with very poor channel conditions. Should be used where the abusing
users’ instantaneous rates are far below the average instantaneous rate within the sector.
Medium protection: Protection against users with relatively poor or very poor channel conditions. Should be used where
the abusing users’ instantaneous rates are below or far below the average instantaneous rate within the sector.
A dynamic protection mechanism is implemented, in which the mechanism of limiting resource allocations is automatically
and dynamically activated when needed.
The Scheduler menu enables you to view/update the values configured for the following parameters:
Scheduler Mode
Scheduler DL Abuse Protection Level
Scheduler UL Abuse Protection Level
The selected mode applies for both uplink and downlink schedulers.

seconds (between 0 and 59), dd/mm is day/month, per usual date and month rules and yyyy is the year.
For a cluster of Compacts on the same site, GPS chaining enables you to connect one Compact to the GPS receiver (Master
unit). All other Compacts obtain clock feeds from the Master (Slave units).
The Master should be configured for the BreezeCOMPACT unit that is directly connected to GPS (either Standalone or
Chaining mode).
During installation, the operator must know which Compact is connected to the GPS in order to configure it as a Master. For
Slave units, the GPS In cable is connected from the previous Compact in the chain, and is configured as a Slave.

The Spectrum Analysis feature enables you to determine the noise characteristics per channel. This enables the construction
of a relatively noise-free working environment. When the Spectrum Analyzer feature is activated, the unit enters a passive
scanning mode for a period of time during which information is gathered. The scanned channels are the channels comprising
a selected subset.
Upon activating the spectrum analysis, the unit automatically shuts down the RF ports. During the information-gathering
period, the unit does not receive nor transmit data. It also cannot synchronize/associate, meaning that it cannot be managed
via the wireless link. At the end of the period, the user should configure the system for normal operation.
3.11.1 Enable/Disable
By entering the BS number (Sector 1 or Sector 2), the user can disable or enable Spectrum Analyzer functionality. Upon
enabling the function, the Tx ports stop transmitting.
