Constellation™ November 2003
1-6 Introduction
FCC Part 15 Emission Requirements
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if
not installed and used in accordance with this instruction manual, may cause
interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15
of the FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference when it is operated in a commercial environment. Operation
of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference, in which case the
user of the Constellation radio, at the user’s own expense, is required to take
whatever measures may be required to correct the interference. The test results
show that properly shielded cables are required to maintain compliance with
the Class A limits for radiated emissions.
The Constellation Radio
The Constellation Radio is a scalable low, medium, and high capacity digital
radio. The radios are available in 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11 GHz frequency bands. Refer

information.
The Constellation platform includes both terminal and repeater configurations.
The high-capacity Constellation radio is not available in a repeater
configuration. Refer to the Constellation SAI manual for more information.
Repeater configuration radio supports an add/drop of up to 16 DS1 signals
from each direction. The DS1 signals must be dropped in groups of four.

•
8, 16, 28* DS1 (terminal and repeater)
•
1 DS3 (available in back-to-back, but not in repeater configuration)
* Supports a maximum of 16 DS1 add/drop signals from each direction. If
more than 16 DS1 signals are to be dropped, then a back-to-back
