E5MDS9710N-1Remote Data Transceiver

Installation and Operation Guide MDS 05-3305A01, Rev. B SEPTEMBER 2000 400 MHz/900 MHz Remote Data Transceiver MDS 4710/9710 Series (Including MDS 4710A/C and MDS 9710 A/C) QUICK START GUIDE Below are the basic steps for installing the transceiver. Detailed instructions are given in “INSTALLA- TION” on page 9 of this guide. 1. Install and connect the antenna system to the radio • Use good quality, low loss coaxial cable. Keep the feedline as short as possible. • Preset directional antennas in the direction of desired transmission. 2. Connect the data equipment to the radio’s INTERFACE connector • Connection to the radio must be made with a DB-25 Male connector. Connections for typical sys- tems are shown below. • Connect only the required pins. Do not use a straight-through RS-232 cable with all pins wired. • Verify the data equipment is configured as DTE. (By default, the radio is configured as DCE.) 3. Apply DC power to the radio (10.5–16 Vdc @ 2.5 A minimum) • Observe proper polarity. The red wire is the positive lead; the black is negative. 4. Set the radio’s basic configuration with a Hand-Held Terminal (HHT) • Set the transmit frequency ( TX xxx.xxxx ). • Set the receive frequency ( RX xxx.xxxx ). • Set the baud rate/data interface parameters as follows. Use the BAUD xxxxx abc command, where xxxxx equals the data speed (110–38400 bps) and abc equals the communication parameters as follows: a = Data bits (7 or 8) b = Parity (N for None, O for Odd, E for Even c = Stop bits (1 or 2) (Example: BAUD 9600 8N1 ) NOTE: 7N1, 8E2 and 8O2 are invalid parameters and are not supported by the transceiver. 5. Verify proper operation by observing the LED display • Refer to Table 5 on page 16 for a description of the status LEDs. • Refine directional antenna headings for maximum receive signal strength using the RSSI command.

August 19, 2005 RE: Microwave Data Systems FCC ID: E5MDS9710N-1 1) TX frequencies given in the block diagram appear odd. Please review. Response: Block diagram has been updated to include latest information. Due to the fact that the block diagram includes the 806 MHz region is because it was intended to include FCC ID: E5MDS9710N. The same device can be set to transmit below 928 MHz. This is accomplished through software although one version of the product is available it has two different software versions to enable the unit to enable operation in the 806 – 940 or 928 – 960 MHz. That is why in the other application, FCC ID: E5MDS9710N, it will have the same documents. 2) Please adjust the label to include the information required by 15.19(a)(1). Response: FCC ID cannot be adjusted to include this statement. A separate label will be place on the unit with the 15.19(a)(1) statement. 3) Please explain where the information required by 15.105 and 15.21can be found. Note that 15.105 may not apply. Please justify or include as necessary. Response: Manual has been revised to include these statements, which were place in page 7 of 58. 4) Is this device intended for normal use connected to a computer via RS-232 or only to monitoring equipment. If intended for connection to computers, please explain compliance to 15B. Currently labeling and manual do not support this use. Response: These modems will be used in industrial environments, even though it was tested to Class B limits, we used the Class A statement on the manual. The EUT was tested as verification. 5) Please explain compliance to 90.203(e)/(g). Response: The user will not have access to changing any of the parameters in the unit. This will be professionally installed and an external terminal device is needed to gain access to the parameters inside the DSP chip. Page 15 of 58 of the manual states this. Page 5 of 58 also states that this devices and accessories will be professionally installed. 6) Please identify the exact operating configurations that are applicable for this device for determining RF exposure compliance requirements. Part 90 SMR transmitters operating as mobile devices are required to satisfy routine MPE evaluation requirements of 2.1091 and require MPE testing. If the antenna for this transmitter will only be installed at permanent, outdoor structures and operating as fixed mounted transmitters, please provide the applicable information for supporting the 5 meter separation distance proposed in the manual. If the antenna gain must be limited in order to satisfy this distance, it should be clearly indicated in the installation instructions for users and installers to satisfy RF exposure compliance requirements. When applicable, please revise the manual info and re-submit the manual. The applicable operating requirements will be indicated as grant conditions for this filing. Response: Understood. The device will be used in fixed locations, where the antenna will be place in outdoor permanent structures. The manual has been revised to state a safe distance of 2.6 meters. 7) For RF exposure and power ratings, please explain compliance to 90.205(r). Response: I could not find the Radio Equipment list to determine if this is applicable or not. But the power output rated by the manufacture is in compliance since 6 watts (37.8dBm) and 20 % of that is 1.2dB. The maximum measured power was 5.8 watts (37.6 dBm) this shows that’s its within the allowed 1.2dB tolerance. 8) Has compliance to the H mask under 806-809 and 851-854 MHz been shown? Response: Emission Mask B is the appropriate one as the radio has an audio low pass filter. 9) Please provide information as necessary for compliance to 90.210 note 3, 90.691. Response: Plots have been uploaded to show compliance to this section. 10) Operational description states 5 watts, 731 states 6 watts, report shows 5.8 watts. Please review/correct as necessary. Response: Theory of operation was change to show 6 watts. Due to the fact that the same documents were used because it was intended to include FCC ID: E5MDS9710N, 5 watts was left in the documents since this power is part of that application. The proper power will be limited through software. Although one version of the product is available it has two different software versions to enable the unit to enable operation in the 806 – 940 or 928 – 960 MHz. That is why in the other application, FCC ID: E5MDS9710N, it will have the same documents. Regards, Juan Martinez Senior EMC Engineer JM/dmg

August 22, 2005 RE: Microwave Data Systems FCC ID: E5MDS9710N-1 1) It is uncertain why mask H is being justified as not applicable, when compliance to other masks G and J are shown to be in compliance. Also the previous versions of this device tested for masks without audio low pass filter as well, however H was not required for bands cited for operation at that time. Response: Plots showing compliance to Emission Mask H have been uploaded. Regards, Juan Martinez Senior EMC Engineer JM/dmg
