Confidential and Proprietary © 2013. Redline Communications Inc. 1 1.0 TVWS Quickstart This guide is intended to provide a very quick introduction to establishing an RF link between an RDL- 3000 UHF sector and subscriber. The units have been shipped mostly pre-configured, with only some site-specific parameters remaining. As shipped, the units are configured as follows: Radio Mode Radio MAC Radio S/N Management IP Sector Controller 00:09:02:14:B4:FB 182PC13030002 192.168.45.64 Subscriber 00:09:02:14:B5:02 182PC13030003 192.168.45.65 1.1 Physical Connectivity  Before powering up the radios, make sure to connect each radio’s RF ports to the other radio’s corresponding port. Make sure there is at least 60dBm of attenuation inline.  Connect each radio to the output port of the PoE injector via Ethernet cable.  Connect the sector controller PoE injector’s input port into your local area network, ensuring that there is a valid route through your network to the internet (for WSDB access). 1.2 Configuring network connectivity  Configure your PC’s network interface to an IP address within the radios’ subnet (e.g. 192.168.45.100 / 255.255.255.0).  Connect your PC to the sector controller’s PoE injector input port, and verify ping connectivity to the sector’s IP address (listed above).  Open Internet Explorer and browse to the sector’s IP address. Note that if you’re using Internet Explorer 10, you’ll need to place your browser into compatibility mode. o To place IE10 in compatibility mode, browse to the page you’re trying to view, then click the small “broken page” icon next to the address bar’s “refresh” button. o  The login credentials are “admin”/”admin”.  The next step is to configure the radio’s internet access. To do this, you need to provide your network’s default gateway and DNS server IP addresses, accessed in the System Configuration menu. Confidential and Proprietary © 2013. Redline Communications Inc. 2  o DNS Server 2 is optional. o If your DHCP server provides this information, you can use DHCP instead of providing this information yourself. However, you’ll need some way to determine what IP address your DHCP server has provided the radio. You IT department should be able to help out there.  Press “Apply and Save All” to activate your changes. If you’ve changed your IP address (or activated DHCP) you’ll need to browse to the radio’s new IP address, as these changes take effect immediately after activation.  That’s it for the sector controller. Repeat these steps on the subscriber station, then proceed to section 1.2. 1.3 Configuring WSDB Access – Sector Controller  Configure the radio’s registration information as appropriate to your location.  If the unit has a GPS antenna connected and has a fix on a sufficient number of satellites, the “Use GPS” checkbox will be enabled. This will automatically populate the Lat/Long fields. o You can view information on the current GPS status in the “System Status” menu. Click on the “GPS Status” link to open a new window.  Make sure to “Apply and Save” your changes.  Once you have everything configured, wait 60 seconds and then navigate to the “WSDB Status” menu. Check to make sure that “Server Connectivity Status” shows “SUCCESS”. If so, you should see a color-coded indication of available channels in the bottom half of the page. o If “Server Connectivity Status” shows FAILURE, check the system log for an indication of the reason for the failure.  In the displayed channel list, red channels are unavailable for use at your location, blue channels are available, and the green one is the currently selected channel.  Navigate to the “Wireless” page, and select a non-red channel from the dropdown list. Confidential and Proprietary © 2013. Redline Communications Inc. 3  1.4 Configuring WSDB Access – Subscriber  Repeat the same steps as in the previous section, making sure to select the same channel as was selected in the sector controller.

To do this:  DUT must be in SC (Sector Controller) mode  Using Windows CMD window or a Telnet program, telnet into the DUT (“telnet 192.168.45.69” for example) and login as debug/debug  Enter command: “dbg txloop 1”  Before adjusting other system parameters (such as frequency) from the GUI, disable continuous Tx mode with “dbg txloop 0” Note that in the customer software the following restrictions are made:  Channels 36, 37, and 38 are disallowed  Tx power for all channels is limited to +18dBm, except channels 35 and 39 which are limited to +16dBm  On channel 35, the center frequency is moved down by 0.5MHz  On channel 39, the center frequency is moved up by 0.5MHz

February 15, 2013 Federal Communications Commission Equipment Authorization Branch 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Applicant: Redline Communications Inc. FCC ID: QC8-RDL3000RMF RE: Limited Modular Transmitter Approval for RDL-3000-RMF To whom it may concern: Pursuant to the FCC Rules, Part 15 Section 15.212 Modular transmitters and KDB 966369 D01 Module Certification Guide v01r03, Redline Communications, Inc. hereby requests Limited Modular Transmitter Approval for the above listed FCC submittal. This letter affirms that Redline Communications Inc. 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 will not be distributed, marketed or sold to the general public and Redline will not make this module available as standalone product. It will be installed in the devices produced by Redline Communications Inc. and its authorized partners. According to the requirements of section 15.212 of FCC rules please note the following statements: 1. Limited Modular Transmitter Approval is being requested since the modular transmitter doesn’t have its own RF shielding. The module has been tested in a stand-alone configuration and complies with all of the FCC requirements at the module level. 2. The input to the module is an Ethernet interface. All modulation and protocol elements are contained within module. There are no other modulation or data inputs to the module that may result in non-compliant operation. 3. The modular transmitter has its own power supply regulation and filtering. 4. The modular transmitter complies with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). The module does not incorporate an integrated antenna, however uses unique MCX RF connectors for antenna connection. The module has been tested with the intended antennas. Approval for additional antenna will be obtained through a Class II permissive change. The modular transmitter will be installed by professional installers trained by Redline Communications. Redline Communications will retain complete control over the final installation of the module ensuring that only approved antenna type will be used with this module. The list of approved antennas is included in the user manual. 5. The modular transmitter has been tested in a stand-alone configuration. It complies with Part 15 Subpart H regardless of the device / enclosure into which it will be installed. 6. The modular transmitter will be labeled with its own FCC ID: QC8- RDL3000RMF, and the chassis of the device / enclosure into which the module is installed will display a label referring to the enclosed module “Contains FCC ID: QC8-RDL3000RMF”. 7. The modular transmitter operates under Part 15 Subpart H to which it has been tested. Users do not have access to controls that may cause the module to operate outside its normal mode of operation. 8. The modular transmitter has been evaluated with the intended antenna and complies with all applicable RF exposure requirements. RF exposure warnings and separation distances are included in the user manual. Sincerely, Rod Cronin Director, Product Management Ph: 905.479.8344 x2377 [email protected]
