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.
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.
Operation in the United States
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.
When installed on this module, the software key region code 12 for United States
restricts device operation to the FCC 470 - 608 and 614 - 698 MHz band on TV channels

Final Product Requirements
The following requirements apply to all final products incorporating the RDL-3000-RMF.
4.1
Frequency Bands
Operation in the United States
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, the final product must contact and
register with the WSDB database server (server URL is programmed into the final
product). The final product may only transmit on channels indicated as 'available' by the
WSDB database. Channel assignments are temporary and the final product must
periodically contact the WSDB to refresh the channel list. The final product 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 final product 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 final product 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.
