Operation is subject to the following two con- ditions: 1)this device may not cause harmful electromagnetic interference, and 2)this device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undes- ired operations. FCC NOTICE: Radio and Television Interference The PacketWave 100 Series Subscriber Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the lim- its for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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 according to the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter- ference to radio or television reception, which is found by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: •Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. •Increase the separation between the equipment or device. •Connect the equipment to an outlet other than the receiver's. •Consult a dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for assistance. RF Exposure Notice The installer shall mount all transmit antennas so as to comply with the limits for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields per paragraph 1.1307 of FCC regulations. The FCC requirements incor- porate limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) in terms of electric field strength, magnetic field strength, and power density. CAUTION (5.8 GHz UNII) To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, antennas used for this device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 1.5m from all persons. CAUTION (2.5 GHz MMDS) To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements in section 1.1307, a minimum separation distance of 20 cm. is required between this antenna and all persons. v070-20000340-01 Rev A TABLE OF CONTENTS Table of Contents PREFACE Scope of This Manual . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ix Conventions Used in This Manual . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .x Intended Audience for this Manual . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .x General Cautions and Warnings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .xi CHAPTER 1.

Aperto Networks FCC ID: PS6BR1000-A1 page 1 of 24 Product Description and Operation Overview General Overview The Aperto Networks MMDS band radio consists of a indoor unit (IDU) network interface and an outdoor unit (ODU) radio head. The IDU connects to the digital network via CAT5 cable. The IDU is connected to the ODU via shielded CAT5 cable for control and an RG6 with F connector for signal/data. (from user manual): The outdoor radio can be configured as either customer premises equipment (CPE) or as a base station unit (BSU). The radios are identical, except that the CPE uses an integral antenna, and the BSU has an antenna connector for separately mounted antennas. The base station IDU and subscriber IDU are different, but the output signals are the same and the radio heads used with them are the same except as outlined above. A description of the theory of operation and product configuration is found in an attachment to this application and report. SPECIFICATIONS ODU RF Head Frequency range: 2503 - 2683 MHz Channelization: 6 MHz channels, 1 MHz spacings Power output: 16 dBm Modulation type: QPSK, 16QAM IDU IF Head Frequency range: 44 MHz IF Aperto Networks FCC ID: PS6BR1000-A1 page 2 of 24 10 MHz reference clock Data transfer rate, air link: Up to 20 MBAs in a 6 MHz channel Block diagram and theory of operation is provided in a separate attachment.
