Familiarization with the s-Series Radios
The Exalt s-Series radios utilize frequency division duplex (FDD) radio transmission. This means that
the transmitted signal in each direction uses a different center frequency, separated by a fixed
Transmit/Receive spacing. As such, there is a designated ODU for the ‗High‘ transmitter frequency,
and a matching paired ODU for the ‗Low‘ center frequency. Generally, the licensing/coordination
agency will designate which transmitter should be installed at which end of the link. The IDUs are
independent of frequency and may be interchanged at either end of the link.
The frequency pair is controlled by the IDU and the tunable frequency range is determined by the
ODU that is connected. For some frequency bands, there is more than one ODU pair to cover the
entire band, so each ODU pair may be limited to tune only over a portion of the band. Exalt
recommends using the Exalt GUI for radio configuration of the frequency and other parameters. This
interface requires a computer with an Ethernet port and web browser software, such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5.0 or above. See
for details on how to connect to
and use the browser-based GUI interface.
