Required Items
- Airspan N5-X series antenna
- Minimum 10 AWG (5.26 mm2) ground cable with pre-terminated ring terminal
- Airspan Gigabit NID
- Small flat head type screwdriver
- Power over Ethernet injector compatible with B5x input power specifications
Attach Antenna
Mount the antenna by clockwise twisting into the radio threaded collar. Hand tighten until the O-ring seal is seated in the collar.
Make sure the indicator dot on the antenna is aligned with the B5x set screw as shown in the diagram below, then tighten the set screw.
If you are using the B5x standalone without an antenna, remove the set screw to allow drainage of any accumulated moisture in the threaded area.
Mount
Using 2 hose clamp type pole straps, attach the B5x to desired mounting pole. If elevation adjustment is needed, a Mimosa Fleximount or J-Mount is suggested.
Grounding
Attach ground wire (not included) to the integrated grounding screw.
Connect Ethernet
Connect a shielded CAT6/6A Ethernet cable (not included) to the device, inserting it through the M25 cable sealing gland components and tighten as shown in the diagram below.

FCC
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that
the potential for human contact during the normal operation is minimized. In
order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure
limit, human proximity to the antenna should be more than 3m.
When mounting the radio antenna, in accordance with the Part 15 UNII-1 band requirements, the antenna must not exceed 125 mW (21 dBm) e.i.r.p. at any elevation angle above 30 degrees as measured from the horizon).
Important: Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by
Airspan Networks Inc. could void the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and
wireless compliance and negate your authority to operate the product.
The information in this guide may change without notice. The manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for any errors that may appear in this guide.
Industry Canada
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian CAN ICES-3(A).
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate
using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the
transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to
other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Australia & New Zealand
Warning: This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product
may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take
adequate measures.
