Installation within TDWR Range

Before mounting and installing the device, please check the distance between the device location and the near by Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR). You can find the locations of the airport weather radars from the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA) database at http://spectrumbridge.com/udrs/home.aspx. If the distance from the device to any TDWR is less than 35 kms, then the radio is not allowed to operate in channels closer than 30 MHz relative to the TDWR frequency (above and below). To protect these TDWR, the channels up to 30 MHz must be blacklisted so they cannot be
WISPA database, so that any interference caused by the operation of the radio can be addressed in compliance with the Part 15 requirements.

For example: Consider the TDWR location at Phoenix, AZ operating at 5610 MHz (N 33 25 14; W 112 09 46). If the device is installed within 35 kms radial distance from this location then avoid operating in (5580 – 5640) MHz band. Also, blacklist all channels overlapping the 5580 – 5600 MHz band (5600 – 5650) is already removed from operation list of our device).

Information for Professional Installer

This chapter contains information on the following:

Information for Professional Installers
Adjusting Tx Output Power
Antenna Gain Configuration

Information for Professional Installers

All products must be professionally installed, and the transmit power of the system must be adjusted by the professional installers to ensure that the system EIRP is in compliance with the limit specified by the regulatory authority of the country of application.

Adjusting Tx Output Power

NOTE : When the system is set to transmit at the maximum power, professional installers must ensure that the maximum EIRP limit is not exceeded. To achieve this, they may have to add attenuation between the device and the antenna when a high gain antenna is used.
Use the following formula in combination with the table of EIRP limits in US and EU countries to calculate system transmit power (based on EIRP limits) of these countries:

Tx Power (dBm) = EIRP Limit (dBm) + FL (dB) – G (dB) where,
Tx Power = Output power measured at the antenna input EIRP Limit = EIRP limits specified below
FL = Feeder loss including loss of connectors
G = Antenna Gain

Transmit output power can be reduced by using Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC), or manually setting the Transmit Power Control (TPC). For information to automatically or manually set TPC, refer to Software Management Guide available at http://support.proxim.com.

IMPORTANT! You must add external attenuation pad if the calculated EIRP is over the limit. If you are at the TPC limit, reduce the power and continue with the attenuation.

Antenna Gain Configuration
When using external antenna, the professional installer should ensure to configure proper antenna gain so that the radio does not exceed the EIRP allowed per regulatory domain.

Information for Professional Installer

External Antenna

Calculate the antenna gain as follows:
Antenna Gain to be configured = Antenna Gain of the antenna used – Cable Loss

Exampl e: Consider an example where the device is operating in United States 5.3 GHz with the EIRP 30 dBm. The antenna gain of the antenna used is 23 dBi and the cable loss is 1dB.
Given this case, Configurable Antenna Gain = [23 dBi – 1 dB] = 22 dBi
Maximum Radio Power = EIRP – Configured Antenna Gain

= 30 dBm – 22 dBi
= 8 dBm

With this configuration, the ATPC feature will limit the radio power to a maximum of 8 dBm to avoid exceeding EIRP limit of 30 dBm.
