Preface Welcome! This manual is intended for the technical personnel who will install and operate the Aeras WaveLink. Such personnel are typically experienced and skilled technicians familiar with on site, physical installation and connection of equipment, including maintenance work. It is also intended for system administration personnel performing initial configuration and subsequent system reconfiguration, as well as current system maintenance activities. Document Organization This manual provides a detailed description of the Aeras WaveLink components, and operating, installation and management procedures. • Chapter 1 provides an overview and briefly describes typical applications. • Chapter 2 provides an installation steering guide with references to subsequent installation sections. • Chapter 3 describes how to plan the Aeras WaveLink network, radio links, and remote element and network management links, and individual Aeras WaveLink radios. • Chapter 4 provides detailed hardware installation and acceptance test procedures. • Chapter 5 describes final configuration procedures and the Web browser user interface. • Chapter 6 presents procedures for monitoring and performing trend analysis on the Aeras WaveLink. • Chapter 7 provides instructions for troubleshooting the Aeras WaveLink. • Appendixes provide detailed technical information for carrying out the installation and maintenance activities described in the other chapters of this manual. Microwave Radiation Warnings Radio Warning Under normal operating conditions, Aeras WaveLink radio equipment complies with the limits for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All Aeras Networks, Inc. microwave radio equipment is designed so that under normal working conditions, microwave radiation directly from the radio is negligible when compared with the permissible limit of continuous daily exposure recommended in the United States by ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1991 (R1997), Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. Microwave signal levels that give rise to hazardous radiation levels can exist within transmitter power amplifiers, associated RF multiplexers, and antenna systems. Antenna Warning Designed for point-to-point operation, the Aeras WaveLink microwave radio system uses directional antennas to transmit and receive microwave signals. These directional antennas are usually circular or rectangular in shape, are generally located outdoors, and are usually mounted with the Aeras WaveLink on a tower or mast. The Aeras WaveLink is classified as a fixed installation product, and per FCC (Federal Communications Commission) policy guidelines regarding maximum permissible exposure (MPE), antennas used for this Aeras Networks radio must be installed to provide a separation distance of 2 m (79 in.) or more from all persons during normal operation to satisfy FCC RF exposure limits. As the Aeras WaveLink is typically mounted on a building or mast high enough to clear ground-level path obstructions, the general population will be further than 2 m (79 in.) from the radio antenna, and the FCC RF exposure limits will be met. Aeras Networks, Inc. fully supports the FCC’s adopted MPE limits, and recommends that personnel stay 2 m (79 in.) from the front of all directional microwave antennas. Should you have questions about Aeras WaveLink microwave signal radiation, please contact the Aeras Networks Customer Support. Regulatory Information FCC Compliance The Aeras WaveLink is FCC certified for use in the 5.3 GHz unlicensed band in the United States. The 5.3 GHz version of the Aeras WaveLink is certified under FCC part 15.407, U-NII regulations covering the frequency band of 5250-5350 MHz. 5.3 GHz (5.25-5.35 GHz) When deployed in an area regulated by the FCC, 5.3 GHz Aeras WaveLink radios are equipped with an integral antenna only, and operate under the FCC Part 15, subpart E, U-NII license-exempt regulations, which certify the radios for .0063 output watts . The 5.3 GHz Aeras WaveLink radio has been FCC certified in the following configuration: a c s Deleted: and 5.8 GHz Deleted: s Deleted: Deleted: –1.0 dBm average, or +7.4 dBm peak transmit powe r Deleted: s Deleted: have Deleted: <#>Aeras WaveLink, 5.3 GHz, inte gral antenna¶ Other Regulation Compliance Other countries have varying RF licensing and operating requirements, and it is imperative that operators and professional installers ensure that the Aeras WaveLink is configured and installed per regional regulations. For instance, ETSI I-ETS 300 440 describes the bands that the Aeras WaveLink is permitted to operate in, and limits transmissions to 25 milliwatts EIRP (Power Class 9).

Justification for professional installation Marketing and Application The WaveLink 4500 system has been designed and is intended for use as an alternative to traditional wireline methods of providing DS3 and High-Speed Ethernet connectivity. As such the end user of this system will be enterprise businesses, local telephone companies or utility companies. The actual customer for, and operator of WaveLink 4500 networks will be Service Providers such as ISP’s, Competitive Access Providers (CAP’s) or the local telco’s themselves. This places the use of the system decidedly in the industrial/commercial application arena. Furthermore, many of the aforementioned target customers are already involved in wireless communications technologies and have on staff professional RF installation crews. For those Service Providers who do not to date have in-house talent for the RF installation of the WaveLink 4500 system, e.g. ISP’s, they will be directed to a network of third party providers (largely from the cellular/PCS arena) who specialize in microwave equipment installations. Examples of some of these support shops are Valcom in the mid-west, and Netcom International based in Atlanta. Technical Requirements There are several steps involved in the setup and installation of the system that require tool's and skills not found in the average technically inclined person’s skill set. Some of these are: • Physical Installation - these units are designed and intended for outdoor installation. The units will be located on towers on tall buildings typical for microwave equipment sites. Access to these locations is typically restricted to those with authorization, which restricts access from the average lay person. Furthermore, when installing the systems weather sealing of connectors is required, an additional somewhat specialized task. • Antenna Alignment – in order to align the antennas of the system, it is necessary for the installer to adjust the antenna based upon an RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) voltage measured at a test point on the radio unit • Power Requirements – The WaveLink 4500 radio requires a DC voltage from 21 to 60 VDC to operate. As this is outside the normal household appliance voltage, the user must seek AC to DC or Battery systems which unique to systems requiring professional expertise or installation.
