•
Maximum RF output power allowed/authorized by the local government regulations and for this
specific device
•
Maximum effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of the transmission system allowed/
authorized by the local government regulations and for this specific device
•
Desired RSL to not exceed the maximum RSL allowed by the device
•
Desired RSL to minimize/eliminate interference into neighboring systems
Capacity Configuration
The EX-i Series FDD radios are very dynamic, allowing the installer to optimize and control the
performance of the radio system for the intended application. The following parameters must be
carefully determined during the link engineering phase:
•
Bandwidth
•
Mode (modulation)
The setting of the above parameters determines the following performance factors:
•
Number of supported T1/E1/DS3/OC3 channels
•
Ethernet throughput
Use a professional path-planning tool to determine optimum settings for the above parameters to meet
the needs of your application.
The following generalizations can be made with regards to these factors:
•
The higher the bandwidth, the higher the capacity
•
The higher the mode, the higher the capacity
Radio Configuration
Use the Exalt GUI to configure the radio terminals for diplexer filter configuration. Since many other
parameters also need to be set, and the Exalt GUI is needed for these configurations, this is the best
way to completely configure the radio terminals.
Radios arrive from manufacture in default configuration configured as shown in Table 1.
Note:
In many cases the radio must be pre-configured for a value not greater than the legal
maximum output power before connecting to the antenna and transmission system.
Instructions for adjusting the output power can also be found in
Note:
Disable all TDM ports if there are no TDM interfaces connected. This shifts all
available throughput to the Ethernet interface.
Note:
If a selected combination of the Bandwidth and Mode (modulation) parameters cannot
support all the desired TDM ports, the ports that cannot be supported are automatically
disabled. Priority is placed on the lowest port number. That is, the first port to be disabled, if
necessary, is the highest port. See
