A. Transceiver installation steps
To install the HTP-900RE transceiver, follow the basic steps given below.
1.
Mount the transceiver to the flat, stable surface using mounting holes in the corners of the
transceiver. Transceiver models sold under FCC ID KNY-820181531119 are to be installed
professionally in NEMA enclosures.
2.
Install the antenna and connect the antenna feedline to the transceiver. If you are installing a
directional antenna, preset the antenna’s direction appropriately. The antenna must be
professionally installed on fixed-mounted permanent outdoor structures for satisfying RF
exposure requirements.
3.
Connect a computer to the transceiver’s RJ45 port or to an Ethernet connection on the same
network segment as the transceiver (please refer to the HT Plus manual for additional
information). This computer will be used to set the radio configuration.
4.
Install the power for the radio.
5.
Connect to the transceiver’s Web page and set the radio configuration according to the
system topology and data terminal equipment requirements. Default transceiver settings
allow users to do a quick installation without major changes in transceiver’s configuration.
However, there is one parameter that
must be considered for a new installation – the
transceiver’s power output setting. (“Transmit Power”. Radio Setup page >
Transmission Characteristics section.)
Transceiver output power level
must be
set according to the tables given below to satisfy
FCC maximum EIRP requirement. Per FCC regulations, any antenna used with FreeWave
transceivers must either be one of the approved antennas shown below or an antenna
approved by FreeWave Technologies with comparable performance parameters. FreeWave
Technologies offers a variety of omni-directional and directional external antennas, with both
bracket and magnetic mounts. The complete list of antennas available from FreeWave
Technologies including antenna gains, antenna manufacturer’s information and antenna’s
characteristics is shown below:
The following antennas are approved for use with FreeWave HTP-900RE model transceivers:

NOTE:
Use of any antenna with a gain higher than 6 dBi requires enough loss in the cabling
and connectors to keep the total gain within 6 dB, so that the radio can be run at full
power.
