RDL-3000-RMF PRODUCT MANUAL
Product Overview
The RDL-3000 Radio Module RDL-3000-RMF Fixed TVBD is comprised of a proprietary
Media Access Control (MAC) protocol engine and Time Division Duplexing (TDD)/
Orthogonal Frequency Division Duplexing (OFDM) digital radio.
The RDL-3000-RMF module is not designed for stand-alone operation. The module is
sold as one component of a packaged system which includes a suitable housing for the
module connectors for required external components including a power supply and
antenna system. This is afterwards referred to as the 'final product'. The final product
may be designed and manufactured by Redline or a licensed third party.
Frequency settings within the specified frequency ranges are software keyed to be
compliant with specific regulatory agency requirements in the region of deployment.
RDL-3000-RMF:
470 - 608 and 614 - 698 MHz band
Important: Read this entire document prior to installing or operating the RDL-3000-RMF
module.

Conditions of Use
2.1
General Conditions
The RDL-3000-RMF is not provided for sale to the general public. The RDL-3000-RMF
contains a proprietary radio interface and can not be directly connected to any standard
telecommunications or computer devices.
This manual is provided as supplement to technical and operational documentation and
training provided by Redline and its agents. Any operation or use of the RDL-3000-RMF
in any manner not expressly specified within this manual or approved in writing by
Redline (or its agents) is expressly forbidden and voids the user's right to operate the
module. This includes, but is not limited to, any modification of the module hardware or
software, installation of the module in a non approved enclosure, and use with non
approved antennas.
2.2
Country of Use
Refer to the regulatory notices in this document before installing or operating the
module.
When installed on this module, the software key region code restricts device operation to
the FCC 470 - 608 and 614 - 698 MHz band on TV channels 14 - 35 and 39 - 51. The
RDL-3000-RMF is certified with limited modular approval for use as an 'intentional
radiator' in the United States as device FCC ID: QC8-RDL3000RMF.

Operation of the final product requires a software 'key' that is available exclusively from
Redline or its authorized agents.
The software key is unique to each module and must be installed and activated before
the radio will operate.
The key contains sufficient security features that the professional installer and operator
can not decode, modify, substitute, or otherwise circumvent the operational restrictions
imposed by the 'key'.
The software 'key' limits the transmit power, operating frequency range, and channel
bandwidth per the regulator domain governing the location where the radio will be
deployed. The operator does not have the option to select the country or regulatory
region of operation.
The software 'key' limits the mode of operation as a master or client. The client mode is
'passive listener' and while in this mode the module can not initiate any transmission
without first receiving and decoding a valid authorization message from the master. A
module with a key for client operation can not be changed by the installer to enable
master mode operation. A module with a key for master operation can operate in master
or client (passive) mode.

Module Installation and Service
3.1
Installation Into a Final Product
Redline shall retain complete control over the final installation of the module and will
ensure compliance of the end product to all applicable FCC regulations. The module
must be installed only into an approved enclosure (see Conditions of Use) and only at an
approved manufacturing facility or service depot.
Redline licensing of the modular transmitter includes monitoring to ensure compliance in
the operation and use of the RDL-3000-RMF as expressly specified within this manual.
This includes restrictions against modification of the module hardware, approval of the
final enclosure, operational restrictions for installers and end-users, and approval of
antennas provided for use with the product.
Operation of the final product requires the 'key' be controlled exclusively by the
manufacturer. The 'key' must be unique to each module and must be installed and
activated before the radio will operate. The key must contain sufficient security features
to the professional installer and operator can not decode, modify, substitute, or
otherwise circumvent the operational restrictions imposed by the 'key'.
The software 'key' must limit the transmit power, operating frequency range, and channel
bandwidth per the regulator domain governing the location where the radio will be
deployed. The operator does not have the option to select the country or regulatory
region of operation.
The software 'key' must limit the mode of operation as a master or client. The client
mode is 'passive listener' and while in this mode the module can not initiate any
transmission without first receiving and decoding a valid authorization message from the
master. A module with a key for client operation can not be changed by the installer to
enable master mode operation.
Redline will review all final products for compliance to regulatory restrictions.
The manufacturer must meet all labeling described in section 2.3.
3.2
Module Servicing
The RDL-3000-RMF is not intended to be field serviceable, and contains no field
serviceable or field replaceable parts. The module must be serviced only at an approved
manufacturing facility or service depot.
Warning: The RDL-3000-RMF is susceptible to damage from electrostatic
charge. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) must be avoided to prevent damaging or
destroying the module. The module must always be store in an anti-static container/bag
prior to installation and following removal from the product for servicing. Observe ESD
precautions when handling the module.

RDL-3000-RMF PRODUCT MANUAL
Professional Installation
Devices containing the Redline RDL-3000-RMF require professional installation.
The RDL-3000-RMF must only be installed by trained professional technicians
authorized by Redline or its agents.
It is the responsibility of the installer to understand the product operation by attending
training as required, reading and understanding the product documentation, and
ensuring that all building, safety and regulatory codes are met and the installation is
complete and secure.
3.4
Safety Precautions
Installation and service must be done by personnel having technical training and
experience necessary to be aware of hazards during installation and/or service of RF
equipment. The installation and/or service must be done using procedures designed to
minimize any danger to technical personnel or any other person.
3.5
Radio Frequency Safety
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed
such that it does not emit RF fields in excess of the general population limits as defined
by FCC CFR 47, Part 2.1091 and OET Bulletin 65, Radio frequency radiation
exposure evaluation for fixed devices & Health Canada limits for the general
population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website:

RDL-3000-RMF PRODUCT MANUAL
Final Product Requirements
The following requirements apply to all final products incorporating the RDL-3000-RMF.
4.1
Frequency Bands
Operation of the final product requires a software 'key' that is available exclusively from
Redline. This key restricts device operation to the FCC 473-695 MHz band on TV
channels 14 - 35 and 39 - 51. The professional installer and operator can not modify or
otherwise circumvent these operational restrictions.
To operate in the TV Whitespaces frequency range, each RDL-3000-RMF must contact
and register with the WSDB database server (server URL is programmed into the RDL3000-RMF). The RDL-3000 may only transmit on channels indicated as 'available' by the
WSDB database. Channel assignments are temporary and the RDL-3000-RMF must
periodically contact the WSDB to refresh the channel list. The RDL-3000-RMF vacates a
channel in-use immediately when a WSDB database status update indicates the channel
is no longer available or the expiry time for an obtained list has elapsed.
The RDL-3000-RMF operating as a PMP Sector Controller/PTP Master (PMP-SC) is not
allowed to transmit on any channel before registering with the WSDB database and
obtaining a list of available channels for its location. The RDL-3000-RMF operating as a
PMP Subscriber/PTP Slave (PMP-SS) is allowed to transmit on the channel currently
being used by the PMP-SC initially only for the purpose of registering with the WSDB
database and obtaining a list of available channels for its location. If the channel in-use
is not available, the PMP-SS notifies the PMP-SC and stops transmitting. The PMP-SS
may register and obtain the current channel list once per hour.
