7.
Where DFS is required by regional regulations, this function is permanently enabled
at the factory and can not be disabled by the installer or end-user. Refer to section
7.7: Regional Codes for additional information.
8.
Operation is available for the 50 MHz band 3650-3700 MHz (unrestricted contention
based protocol).
1.5.2
Installation and Operation
FCC Part 90.1321 guidelines for deployment of AN-80i systems in the frequency band of
3650-3700 MHz, for unrestricted CBP (Contention Based Protocol) in USA includes
restrictions on the maximum EIRP.
To comply with these guidelines, the following EIRP limitations are applied for
deployment in this band:
i) Max EIRP of 25 Watts/25 MHz (equivalent to 1 Watt/1 MHz)
ii) Peak EIRP Power Density of 1 Watt in any 1 MHz slice of spectrum.
To ensure compliance with these restrictions, refer to the following important notices:
1.
The 3650-3700 MHz frequency range is a licensed band in the USA and operators
must have a valid spectrum license to operate AN-80i equipment using this band.
2.
The AN-80i requires a Redline FCC-specific options key that is mandatory for
operation within the USA. This options key enforces the FCC approved operating
range of 3650-3700 MHz.
3.
The AN-80i outdoor transceiver and antenna must be professionally installed.
4.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Redline Communications could
void the user
’s authority to operate the equipment.
5.
Do not operate an AN-80i outdoor transceiver until you have confirmed the FCC-
specific options key is loaded and active (operating range restricted to 3650-3700
MHz). When the FCC-specific options key is installed, the operator is not able to set
an RF frequency that exceeds the allowed range of 3650-3700 MHz.
6.
The AN-80i transmit power settings must not exceed values stated in the AN-80i
User Manual.
1.5.3
FCC Power Settings
FCC regulation part 90.1321 (governing operation in the 3650-3700 MHz band in the
US) states that transmissions are limited to a maximum transmit power of 1 Watt/MHz
(peak EIRP). Refer to the section on FCC antennas at the end of this manual.
Federal Communications Rules for Operation in USA
The following is applicable to operations in the 3650-3700 MHz band:
Use of the correct setting for the following CLI parameter is critical to ensuring the
equipment operates in compliance with the rules of 47CFR90 subpart Z (Wireless
Broadband Services in the 3650
–3700 MHz Band):
noisethreshold
Any attempt by the operator to modify this parameter setting to a value exceeding that
allowed by the Redline equipment software, or that would otherwise exceed the
conditions specified in the operator license, could be a violation of that license.
In addition, operators are advised that, if deemed necessary, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) may require a specific setting for this parameter in
order to ensure equitable sharing of the spectrum.
