MDR5800 User Manual 2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 2.1 System Overview A MDR5800 digital radio link (DRL) consists of a pair of MDR5800 radio stations. MDR5800 ODU MDR5800 IDU User Data MDR5800 ODU MDR5800 IDU User Data The MDR5800 radio station consists of two main parts: • An Outdoor Unit operating in the 5.8 GHz ISM frequency band. The Outdoor Unit provides the radio transceiver functionality by accepting radio link data from the Indoor Unit and converting it to the 5.
MDR5800 User Manual 2.2.1 Frequency plans The MDR5800 Outdoor Units operate in the 5.725 GHz to 5.850 GHz ISM frequency band. The MDR5800 has predefined frequency channel plans (termed A, B, C and D). 2.2.1.1 Frequency Channel Plan A, B and C Transmit-to-receive channel spacing for frequency channel plans A, B and C is 69 MHz. The channel spacing is based on the bandwidth occupied by the spread spectrum signal (approximately 17 MHz) and is used to optimise link performance.
MDR5800 User Manual Frequency Channel Plan D Frequency plan D allows independent control of transmit and receive frequencies. This enables a very flexible frequency plan and can be used to overcome interference in the 5.8 GHz ISM band. The frequencies that can be used in the lower or upper sub-bands can be selected in 1 MHz increments. Performance degradation can be expected when operating using channel plan D mode and the chosen frequencies are close to the sub-band edges i.e.
MDR5800 User Manual 2.3 Indoor Unit The Indoor Unit is designed for mounting in a 19” rack, occupying a 1U slot, or can be table-top standing.

MDR5800 User Manual 3 PLANNING This chapter is aimed at management and planning staff to enable them to assess the requirements for installing an MDR5800 digital radio link. 3.1 System Type Selection The MDR5800 system uses an Outdoor Unit with a type-N RF output for connection to a range of antennas. The MDR5800 is aimed at FCC regulated markets. Antenna polarisation can used to co-locate multiple MDR5800 systems. Antenna polarisation can be used to overcome interference. 3.1.
MDR5800 User Manual 3.2 Site Evaluation When planning a site for a digital radio link, it is of the utmost importance that you take the operational environment of the proposed site into account. The combined effect of atmospheric environmental factors such as rain and lightning, atmospheric attenuation, signal path obstruction, propagation fading, air temperature gradients, ice build-up, wind and solar radiation can contribute towards reducing the level of performance of the system.
MDR5800 User Manual 3.4 Interference Considerations The ISM frequency bands are used by devices that can cause interference to the MDR5800 radio system. Interference can be avoided by careful planning of the system installation. The available methods for providing isolation from interfering radiators are the following: • Frequency diversity • Antenna polarisation It is recommended to scan the proposed installation areas (spectrum analyzer) to establish the presence of interference.

MDR5800 User Manual 10 APPENDIX B: MANAGEMENT OF THE MDR5800 All management of the MDR product is implemented using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), an open standard. The MDR5800 product can be managed by: 1. Standard SNMP managers such as HP OpenView or SNMPc i.e. there is Open Network Management compatibility. 2.
MDR5800 User Manual There are three principle requirements to use SNMP with the MDR5800 Radio Stations. 1. A Management Station that runs a SNMP Management Software package that is installed on a networked or stand-alone PC that can be connected to an Indoor Unit either using a serial connection or an Ethernet connection. From the Management station, the agents within the MDR Indoor Units can be configured or polled for information. 2.
