Overview The AP0127730, AP0134760 is an RF module operating in the 4.9 – 5.8 GHz frequency bands. It is a TDD OFDM radio supporting 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz and 40 MHz channel bandwidths. The RF module cannot work as a stand-alone device. It can operate and be controlled only when attached to a digital main board and altogether assembled in an enclosure suitable for outdoor use. The assembly of the RF module attached to the digital main board is hereafter referred to as ‘ODU’. The ODU in its various outdoor enclosures is manufactured by RADWIN. The RF module is certified as a limited modular approval type with the FCC ID: Q3KRW5XMOD and IC: 5100A-RW5XMOD. Condition of Use The AP0127730, AP0134760 RF module is a proprietary radio interface and can only be connected to digital boards manufactured by RADWIN. The ODU resides in an outdoor enclosure also manufactured and assembled by RADWIN or its subcontractors. The RF module is not for sale to the general public. FCC rules and IC Regulation Restrictions The ODU firmware is factory programmed to operate under the FCC rules and Industry Canada regulation restrictions. The firmware is locked and inaccessible by any third party. As a result of the above the user interface allows both the installer and the user to control the ODU only within the boundaries of the regional restrictions. Antennas The AP0127730, AP0134760 RF module is certified with various antenna types covering both Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint systems up to 32 dBi gain.

US - OPERATION TO AVOID INTERFERENCE WITH TDWR The US FCC, NTIA, FAA, and industry are working to resolve interference to Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) systems used near airports that has occurred from some outdoor wireless systems operating in the 5470 MHz – 5725 MHz band. These wireless devices are subject to Section 15.407. When operating as a master device they are required to implement radar detection and DFS functions and radios must not transmit on channels which overlap the 5600-5650 MHz band used by TDWR. Additional information is available from  the FCC’s Knowledge Database (KDB) Publication 443999 “Interim Plans to Approve UNII Devices Operating in the 5470-5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS Capabilities” available at https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/kdb/GetAttachment.html?id=33781  the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA) in coordination with Spectrum Bridge: http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx. 5.4-GHz radios must be professionally installed. The professional installer must have the following expertise:  Understanding of the configurations outlined in Table 2: US FCC IDs and Industry Canada Certification Numbers and covered configurations, especially those applicable to the 5470-5725 MHz U-NII band.  Understanding of the master/slave operation of the RADWIN 2000, RADWIN 5000 and RADWIN 6000 family products into which the RF Module AP0127730 or AP0134760 is assembled (hereafter: ODU). The Master ODU determines the operating frequency of the radio link (Master and Slave).  Understanding of the devices frequency-scan selection settings and how they can be set to prevent scanning and therefore transmission on any specific frequencies.  Understanding of the option to set primary and two alternate frequencies on the Master ODU.  Ability to use the RADWIN Manager (hereafter: NMS) to set the primary and alternate transmit frequencies on the Master ODU, scanned frequencies on an Slave ODU, and Transmit Output Power of a radio.  Ability to use the NMS Spectrum View utility feature to observe the local RF environment.  Ability to determine if a radio is within 35 km (21.75 mi) of any Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) using the Search function available at http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/search.aspx, or using various mapping programs and the data from in Table 1: TDWR Location Information.  Ability to set the Master ODU's transmit frequency (frequencies, if using alternate frequencies) and Slave ODU's scanned frequencies at least 30 MHz (center-to-center) from any TDWR operating frequency or frequencies within 35 km of the radio. To gain this expertise the following training is required:  Study of the documentation  Familiarization in a lab or test environment  Hands-on training with an experienced installer. Procedure 1 provides the specific instructions to avoid interfering with TDWR when using 5.4GHz ODUs Procedure 1: Avoiding interference with Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) 1. Use standard installation procedures with the additional steps outlined below. 2. For each 5.4-GHz ODU, determine if it is within 35 km (21.75 mi) of any Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR). This can be done using the map search tool at http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/search.aspx, or other mapping tools using the data from Table 1. AP0127730, AP0134760 Reference Guide 4
4. If a Master ODU is within 35 km (21.75 mi) of any TDWR, disable the primary transmit frequency (and alternate frequencies, if used) that are between 5570-5680 MHz. 5. If a Slave ODU is within 35 km (21.75) mi of any TDWR  Ensure its Master ODU isn’t using primary or alternate (if used) transmit frequencies that are within 5570-5680 MHz frequency range  Set the Slave ODU’s scanned frequencies to not include frequencies within 5570-5680 MHz frequency range Note, even if the Master ODU itself is more than 35 km from the TDWR, if any of its Slave ODUs are within 35 km, it must not operate within 5570-5680 MHz frequency range. Note, in some instances an ODU may be within 35 km of multiple TDWRs. In this case, the device must not use any frequency within 5570-5680 MHz frequency range. 6. Register each 5.4-GHz device operating within 35 km (21.75 mi) of any TDWR in the voluntary WISPA-sponsored database at http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx. Note, this database may help expedite resolution of any interference to TDWRs. 7. Registration includes, at a minimum, Latitude, Longitude, and External Antenna Model. When registering a device, choose whether to allow General Access or to have the device information viewable only by you and government representatives. AP0127730, AP0134760 Reference Guide 5
