FCC, IC and Other Certification Statements This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a commercial environment.
Required Antenna Separation The FCC/IC wireless approval for this product is conditional on maintaining at least 20cm separation between the antennas of all radio transceivers 1. There is no restriction for the separation between the antennas from the same transceiver, but installation testing is recommended to verify the system performance that is achieved with a specific antenna deployment. Osprey transceivers are denoted by the combination of the frequency band and technology. For example, a Rajant 2.

1.2 Connectors An example connector layout for the Osprey is shown below. Different variants of the Osprey have different configurations for these connectors. A label is attached to each device to indicate the variant specific layout.
1.2.1 Power & Comm Connector The power and comms connector exposes power, USB, a RS-232 serial port (serial console), two 100 Mbps Ethernet ports, and a SIM interface. The external accessory cable is broken out using a CBL-R5PWR18 cable. The wiring and labeled breakouts are shown in the following schematic. Figure 4: CBL-R5PWR18 Breakout Schematic For users who prefer DB9 terminated console connection, the CBL-R5DB9CONSOLE Deutsch to DB9 adapter cable accessory is available for purchase.
1.2.2 Radio Antenna Connectors Figure 5: LTE Only Connector Layout Figure 6: LTE + WiFi Connector Layout Figure 7: LTE + WiFi Connector Layout The examples above indicate the antenna port and the associated technology (LTE, Rajant, or GPS). For the LTE ports, the main and diversity ports are also indicated. Typically, as part of the professional installation, plans are created that define how these ports are connected to the associated cabling and antennas for the specific installation location.
1.3 Approved Antennas for Unlicensed Bands Due to regulatory requirements, only approved antennas should be used for the unlicensed 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The substitution of other antennas may be permissible but depending on the characteristics of the substitute antennas, appropriate engineering, and testing. Certain changes may require regulatory filings. In addition, antenna separation requirements are mandated by the FCC (USA) and ISED (Canada) (see the Required Antenna Separation section for details).

Appendix A : Physical Installation This appendix covers basic installation information on mounting the Intelligent Endpoint as well as connecting power, data and antenna cables. Each installation will vary depending on the type of equipment and the type of radio technology being used. For more information on best practice, proper installation techniques and guidelines please refer to the document: 3D-P Intelligent Endpoint Installation Guidelines, Document Number 051612-01, Revision 1.4. A.
A.1.
A.1.3 Equipment Location and Physical Mounting Choosing an appropriate location for mounting an IEP is critical to the performance and survival of the unit. However, the requirements and considerations are relatively simple. It is good practice where possible to obtain all components to be installed and interconnected and lay them out in order to plan the installation.
A.2 Connecting Power This section explains how to connect power to the Endpoint. It also covers explanation of grounding on mobile machinery and best practices for installation. For more information on best practice, proper installation techniques and guidelines please refer to the document: 3D-P Intelligent Endpoint Installation Guidelines, Document Number 051612-01, Revision 1.4. A.2.1 Cable Connections The device must be powered from a 3D-P power cable with an in-line weather-proof fuse holder.
Figure 12: Cable connections TOP TIP: The white and green wires can be left disconnected for bench/pre-installation configuration.
A.2.2 Proper Grounding on Mobile Machinery It is common for light and heavy duty mobile equipment that use DC voltage to be designed such that the DC Negative (DC-) of the battery bank is tied to the chassis, frame and other structural sub-components of the machine. This is known as a “grounded” system. Each of these structural sub-components that are bolted together, such as the machine frame, machine chassis, cab chassis, etc.
A.3 Radio Antenna Mounting 3D-P antennas come with 2” handrail/pole mounting brackets. Assembly of the antenna should not be performed without guidance from 3D-P’s Service team assisting with the installation. Factors including type of radio, location of installation, and type of application all play a part in the way each radio antenna should be installed. Please consult this document for further information: 3D-P Intelligent Endpoint Installation Guidelines, Document Number 051612-01, Revision 1.4. A.3.
A.3.2 Installation An installed antenna is shown below. This is a common installation on a 2” handrail. Figure 15: Handrail Mounting Example A.4 GPS Antenna Mounting 3D-P’s GPS antenna also comes with 2” hand rail/pole mounting brackets. Assembly of the antenna should not be performed without guidance from 3D-P’s Services team. Please consult this document for further information: 3D-P Intelligent Endpoint Installation Guidelines”, Document Number 051612-01, Revision 1.4. A.4.
A.5 Antenna Connection and Weatherproofing All RF connectors must be properly installed to prevent damage and water intrusion that can enter through the cable jacket. Proper installation of RF connectors includes hand tightening (no tools should be used), and utilization of self-fusing, butyl tape (known as splicing tape) to protect the connection from harsh environments and vibration.
Appendix B : Connectivity via COM Port 3D-P recommends the use of a console application such as PuTTY (free) or SecureCRT (paid) to connect to the console port on the Osprey Intelligent Endpoint. The settings for a console connection are: Setting Value Baud rate 38400 Data bits 8 Parity none Stop bits 1 RTS/CTS off XON/XOFF off Appendix C : Connectivity via Recovery IP All Ospreys offer a Recovery IP (192.168.77.
