This means that the system has been tested against various local technical regulations and found to comply. The frequency bands in which the system operates may be “unlicensed” and in these bands, the system can be used provided it does not cause interference. FCC - Compliance This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (RADWIN Ltd.) could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Warning Caution Warning It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void the product warranty and may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial liabilities. Resellers or distributors of this equipment are not liable for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas. The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 232 cm from all persons and must not be colocated or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Indoor Units comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.2b iii Warning This product was tested with special accessories - indoor unit (IDU or PoE), FTP Cat 5e shielded cable with sealing gasket, 12 AWG grounding cable - which must be used with the unit to insure compliance. (1) These devices may not cause harmful interference. (2) These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

RADWIN 1000/2000's cost-effective solution enables a variety of organizations to connect geographically dispersed sites at ranges of up to 80km (50 miles). RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.2b 1-2 Key Features of RADWIN 1000/2000 Chapter 1 Figure 1-3: Private Network Key Features of RADWIN 1000/2000 Some of the outstanding features of the RADWIN 1000/2000 radio series are as follows: ⇒ High Capacity The RADWIN 1000/2000 system provides a high-capacity link of up to 130Mbps at 20MHz channel bandwidth. ⇒ Superior Spectral Efficiency Built on advanced MIMO and OFDM technologies, the RADWIN 1000/2000 system provides a high-capacity link at channel bandwidths of 5, 10 and 20MHz. These channel bandwidths support high robustness of the air interface under interference and harsh conditions. In countries where applicable, narrow channel bandwidths reduce the cost of the spectrum license. ⇒ Advanced Air Interface The RADWIN 1000/2000 system provides an advanced air-interface based on MIMO, built-in diversity and OFDM technologies, resulting in an exceptionally robust air interface. Using the following technologies, the RADWIN 1000/2000 air interface is designed to ensure nonstop, high quality transmission, even under interference and harsh conditions: • Automatic Adaptive Rate (AAR) is a mechanism that dynamically adapts the air interface rate by changing both the signal modulation and coding. • Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) chooses the best channel by monitoring the available radio channels and dynamically selecting a channel which is best suited for transmission at any given time. • Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) is a mechanism for error control during data transmission. When the receiver detects an error in the received information, it automatically requests the RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.2b 1-3 Key Features of RADWIN 1000/2000 Chapter 1 transmitter to resend the information. This process is repeated until the transmission is error free or the error continues beyond a predetermined number of maximum transmissions. RADWIN 1000/2000's ARQ mechanism is optimized for timecritical traffic. • Forward Error Correction (FEC) with very low overhead and algorithms specifically designed for the varying conditions of license-exempt frequency bands, ensuring fast, robust and error-free communications. ⇒ High transmission (Tx) power of 29.95dBm The RADWIN 1000/2000 system supports high Tx power, compliant with radio regulations. High Tx power increases the system's availability and range, and enables the high performance with smaller antennas, thus reducing the total cost of the solution (lower CAPEX), installation and tower rent costs (lower OPEX). ⇒ Superior range performance The RADWIN 1000/2000 system supports high capacity at superior ranges. The Link Budget Calculator (appendix D) is used to determine the capacity and range according to the choice of product, antenna, type of service and environmental conditions. ⇒ Simple installation and management RADWIN 1000/2000 systems are extremely simple to install and maintain. They are typically up and running in less than an hour. The RADWIN Manager application has full local and remote management capabilities. The user-friendly SNMP based management tool provides full end-to-end configuration, event logging, and performance monitoring capabilities. ⇒ Enhanced Security The security features of RADWIN 1000/2000 include: • RADWIN 1000/2000's AES 128-bit integrated advanced encryption support provides enhanced air interface security for carriers and private networks. It ensures user data protection with one of the most sophisticated commercially available combined encryption and authentication techniques, CCM/AES. This technique combines message authentication (preventing anti-spoofing and replay protection) with commercial encryption, and complies with the IEEE 802.11i (phase iii) security recommendations. CCM/AES uses a symmetric 128-bit encryption key (EK), and a nonce, and provides both message encryption and authenticating signature. The nonce mechanism enables the receiver to remember already received genuine messages and reject all replayed messages. • Initial encryption and authentication is based on a user-defined master key (Link Password). While standard Wireless LAN encrypts only the Ethernet Payload, the AES encrypts both the source and destination MAC addresses.

The division is shown in the following table: Chapter/ Appendix Subject Audience Site Preparation Site survey team Hardware Installation Field technician Installation technician Link Installation: The RADWIN Manager Configuring the Link Installation technician, System manager Site Configuration Installation technician, System manager Monitoring and Diagnostics Installation technician, System manager Technical Specifications Installation technician, System manager Wiring Specifications Installation technician Pole and Wall Installation Installation technician Link Budget Calculator Installation technician Lightning Protection and Grounding Guidelines Field technician MIB Reference System manager External Alarms Specification Installation technician, System manager, Field technician Combo Configuration Tool Installation technician A Little Terminology In the field, a link typically has a local or headquarters site as for example in figure 1-2 above. Here the service provider is the local or headquarters site. The service recipient is the remote site. Where the link is completely internal to a corporation, the choice of the local and remote is just a matter of convenience. RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.2b 1-12 A Little Terminology Chapter 1 A link then, consists of two sites. In Broadband Wireless terminology, the local and remote sites are sometimes referred to as “near” and “far”, “HQ” and “remote” and so on. The site which is closer to the network core (often the local site) will be referred to as site A, and the opposite side of the link, usually closer to the end user, as site B. This choice is application-neutral and will be used throughout the manual both to describe the sites and their names as in the examples. The link is configured and managed using a PC, the managing computer connected to site A. (The precise requirements for the managing computer are set out in chapter 3, Hardware Installation). RADWIN 1000/2000 supports three connection methods for the managing computer: • Local - a direct peer to peer connection between the Ethernet ports on the managing computer and the IDU or PoE device. Local connection is always read-write. • Network - the managing computer and the site A IDU or PoE device belong to a LAN and communicate through a router or hub • Over-the-air - the managing computer connects to site B via the air interface The managing computer may be connected to the link through an IDU or a PoE device. In what follows, where ever we refer to an IDU it includes PoE devices unless stated otherwise. Typically, if we need to refer to an IDU as such, we will use a model name such as IDU-C. RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.2b 1-13 Conventions Used in this Manual Chapter 1 Conventions Used in this Manual Notifications Notifications consist of Notes, Cautions and Warnings.

If for some reason, the outcome of any of these surveys is negative, site re-location will need to be considered. A Site Survey consists of three stages: 1. Preliminary survey - The proposed link is analyzed in the office using a topographic map. 2. Physical survey - The locations of the RADWIN 1000/2000 indoor and outdoor equipment are determined on-site. 3. Radio Frequency (RF) survey - It is recommended that the installation area be scanned with a spectrum analyzer, to identify RF interference so as to determine a clear channel for RADWIN 1000/2000 installation (onsite). The Site Survey Introduction RADWIN 1000/2000 wireless links must be planned before installation. The designated installation site must be appraised to determine that the wireless system is able to operate efficiently and provide connectivity without signal degradation. RADWIN 1000/2000 offers a wide operating frequency range. A free frequency channel must be determined within the operating range, for optimum performance. Recommended Equipment Stage 1: Preliminary Survey • Topological map of the area RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.2b 2-1 Stage 1: Preliminary Survey Chapter 2 • Urban map of the area • Compass Stage 2: Physical Survey • 100 meter tape measure • Ohmmeter, to check ground connection • Binoculars • Map • Digital camera • Paper, pencil, and a clipboard • GPS device (optional) • Compass (optional) Stage 3: RF Survey • Spectrum Analyzer with Max Hold function and screen capture facility that can store multiple images, for documentation purposes • RF accessories (connectors and cables) • Communication devices (for example, cellular phones, or a set of walkie-talkies) Stage 1: Preliminary Survey A preliminary survey is necessary before visiting potential installation sites. As much detail as possible should be obtained about the two designated ODU installation sites and the area between them. ¾ To perform a preliminary survey: 1. Mark the two designated installation sites on a topographic map of the area. 2. Measure the distance between the sites; check that it is within the specified range of the RADWIN 1000/2000. 3. On the urban map, check for developed areas situated between the two installation sites. Pay attention to these areas when performing the physical site survey; there may be tall buildings, RF towers, or transmitters, which could cause interference to the link. 4. Check the area between the two sites for obstructions such as: • High ground - hills or mountains • Lakes or large bodies of water. Water has a reflection effect on RF signals like a building. This type of reflection causes the received amplitude to be reduced. As a rule of thumb, the presence of a large body of water between the link sites may double the required antenna height. 5. Determine and record the compass bearings between both ODUs, relative to north. 6. If there are obstructions between the two sites, calculate the Fresnel Zone (see appendix D for details). RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.2b 2-2 Stage 2: Physical Survey Chapter 2 7. If the site chosen does not meet requirements, consider alternative sites. 8. Use the Link Budget Calculator (on the CD supplied with the RADWIN 1000/2000 or using the RADWIN Manager) to determine the expected performance. Stage 2: Physical Survey The physical site survey reviews the environment of the proposed RADWIN 1000/2000 installation location, to ensure that the link sites are suitable for the wireless network. The results of the physical site survey should be recorded. It is advisable to go on a clear day, so you can more easily see any obstructions between the two sites. Note ¾ To perform a physical survey: 1. From the compass readings taken in the preliminary survey, find the azimuth (horizontal position) that the ODU should face towards the second ODU. 2. Using binoculars, locate any obstructions such as tall trees, high buildings, hills or mountains. Look for other RF towers between the two sites. Mark the locations of the obstructions on the map. 3. Determine the location for the ODU (having regard for existing rooftop installations and tower space). It should be above any obstructions, considering the Fresnel zone (see appendix D). 4. If you need to install the ODU on a tower, make sure that the tower is far away from overhead electric power lines. 5. Determine a location for the indoor equipment; it should be as close as possible to the ODU. At an existing site, there is probably an equipment room with cable-routing channels. The IDU - ODU cable length limit is 100m, in accordance with IEEE 10/ 100BaseT standards. Note 6. Measure and record the path length of the cable from the ODU position to the indoor equipment room. 7. Determine the ground and lightning connection points of the installation. The RADWIN 1000/2000 ODU and IDU must both be grounded. 8. Using the Ohmmeter, measure and record the resistance of the required installation to the grounding point. The resistance must be less than 1O ohm. RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.2b 2-3 Additional Outdoor Site Requirements Chapter 2 9. Review the results of the physical site survey. Decide if the site is suitable for the RADWIN 1000/2000 wireless network installation. • If the site is suitable, continue with stage 3, the RF survey • If the site is not suitable, survey another site Additional Outdoor Site Requirements The ambient outdoor operating temperature should be -35 to 60°C (-31 to 140°F). Additional Indoor Site Requirements The following requirements guarantee proper operation of the system: • For IDU-C units, allow at least 90 cm (36 “) of front clearance for operating and maintenance accessibility. Allow at least 10 cm (4 “) clearance at the rear of the unit for signal lines and interface cables • The ambient operating temperature should be 0 to 50°C (32 to 122 °F) at a humidity of up to 90%, non condensing Stage 3: RF Survey The RF survey examines the wireless environment of the RADWIN 1000/ 2000 installation site, to determine whether there are available channels within the RADWIN 1000/2000 operating frequency band. An RF survey is performed using a spectrum analyzer. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the spectrum analyzer before going out on site, specifically the Max Hold and Marker functions. You should perform the RF survey at both proposed link sites. The survey should be carried out during a busy time of day, to best judge the worst-case radio interference. Allow 2-4 hours duration for a good RF survey. Note It is possible to install the RADWIN 1000/2000 link and use the RADWIN Manager to find a clear channel. Each frequency channel can be evaluated in turn. Achievement of a clear channel is indicated by the Quality bar on the Channel Setting window (see figure 4-13) becoming green.
