Installation Guide 3 of 27 Notices The information in this publication is subject to change without notice. Arcwave shall not be liable for technical or editorial errors or omissions nor for any damages resulting from the use of this material. U.S. Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC) Notification This device complies with part 15 of the U. S. FCC Rules and Regulations and with RSS- 210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. In Canada, users should be cautioned to take note that high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of 5250 – 5350 MHz and 5650 – 5850 MHz and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to license-exempt local area networks (LELAN). This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the U.S. FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. 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 these instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Increase the separation between the affected equipment and the unit; Connect the affected equipment to a power outlet on a different circuit from that which the receiver is connected to; Consult the dealer and/or experienced radio/TV technician for help. Part 15, Section 15.21 Warning Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Arcwave, Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. FCC IDs and Industry Canada Certification Numbers are listed below: • FCC Identifier: • FCC Identifier: • IC Radio Cert. No.: Installation Guide 4 of 27 • IC Radio Cert. No.: RF Safety Warning To ensure compliance with FCC recommended General Population/Uncontrolled exposure limits the ARCXtend Hub and CPE must be installed at a minimum of one foot from areas frequented by the general population. To ensure compliance with FCC recommended Occupational/Controlled exposure limits, field engineers and technicians should maintain a minimum working distance of six inches, as measured from the front of the Hub or CPE to the front of their bodies. For working distance inside six inches, RF exposure should be limited to an average of 30 minutes at a time. All Arcwave equipment, however, has been designed to allow installation and maintenance at a range well within FCC RF exposure levels. DOCSIS Network Considerations Embedded Cable Modem Operation The ARCXtend Hub contains an embedded cable modem for remote management of the hub via the DOCSIS network, obtaining the DOCSIS operating parameters needed to program the hub and monitoring input RF signal level and quality. The embedded cable modem is identical in operation to a customer cable modem and requires Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity. Setup Prior to deployment of the ARCXtend solution, the embedded cable mode configuration file and firmware must be loaded on the TFTP server. The configuration and firmware files are included on the documentation CD shipped with each hub and can be downloaded from the Support Extranet, http://www.arcwaveinc.com/support.html . The configuration file provided by Arcwave contains the necessary modem specific informat ion required to do firmware downloads. Before an individual hub can be assigned an IP address its MAC address must be provisioned in the DHCP server. If the MAC address is not provisioned prior to deployment, most likely the embedded cable modem will receive a default configuration with Network Access set to “disable”. The Ethernet MAC address of the embedded cable modem is located on a label on the back o f each hub. Load Balancing Groups Currently, the ARCXtend solution does not support upstream shared spectrum (aka load balancing) groups where the cable modem(s) can be moved from one upstream frequency Installation Guide 5 of 27 to another based on plant conditions. Both the customer cable modem and the cable modem located inside the hub must be explicitly excluded from this feature. This is usually accomplished by putting the M…

The test report 6dB bandwidth table has typos on the bandwidth measurements. The data in the 6dB bandwidth tables does not match the data on the associated plots. <answer> report is revised. 2. The test report documents channels of approximately 3MHz bandwidth (6dB plots), but the Installation Manual documents 1-30MHz channels (diagram on page 6 of 27). Please explain this discrepancy. <answer> manual is revised. 3. The Theory of Operation and Block Diagram exhibits document that the frequency of transmissions for this device is 5730 - 5762 MHz, where the test report documents transmission from 5730 - 5760 MHz. Please correct the discrepancy. <answer> theory of op. and block diagram are all revised. 4. Please explain why the Peak Power Measurements are slightly lower than the Average Measurements for the middle and high channels as documented in the test report. <answer>The altermate power measurement procedure was used in place of the Peak Power measurement procedure and the spurious emissions specification was changed to -30 dBc in accordance with the conditions for using the alternate procedure. This alternate procedure, also known as Maximum Conducted Power, generally yields a value that is slightly less than or equal to the average power measurement. This is an inherent property of the measurement procedure. FCC label is also revised to include necessary FCC statements.
