Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview WinLink 1000 is a carrier-class, high capacity, Point-to-Point broadband wireless transmission system. WinLink 1000 combines legacy TDM and Ethernet services over 2.4GHz, 4.9GHz, and 5.xGHz license-exempt bands and is suitable for deployment in FCC, ETSI, or CSA regulated countries. The system provides up to 48 Mbps wireless link and supports ranges of up to 80 km (50 miles). Application Figure 1-1.
Chapter 1 Introduction WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual WinLink 1000 operation complies with ETSI, CSA and the FCC 47CFR Part 15 and subpart C and E requirements. WinLink 1000 employs Time Division Duplex (TDD) transmission. This technology simplifies the installation and configuration procedure. There is no need to plan and to allocate separate channels for the uplink and downlink data streams. Operation over 2.4GHz, 4.9 GHz, and 5.
WinLink 1000 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction An external antenna can extend the range of the link, and in some cases, it might help to reduce environmental interferences.

Appendix C Link Budget Calculator C.1 Overview The Link Budget Calculator is a utility for calculating the expected performance of the WinLink wireless link and the possible configurations for a specific link range. The utility allows you to calculate the expected RSS of the link, and find the type of services and their effective throughput as a function of the link range and deployment conditions. The Link Budget Calculator is supplied on the WinLink Manager CD.
Link Budget Calculator WinLink 1000 Figure C-1. Accessing the Link Budget Manager Calculator C.2 Using the Link Budget Calculator The Link Budget Calculator comprises of one table where all the link parameters are defined.
WinLink 1000 Link Budget Calculator Figure C-2. Link Budget Screen Î To calculate the link budget 1. Select your WinLink system product from the dropdown list of products. 2. Select the rate from the dropdown list. The rate defines the airinterface rate in Mbps. The system operates in TDD mode and has overhead of the air-interface protocol and therefore the accurate actual throughput is provided in the ‘Service’ Row and the effective Ethernet throughput is provided in the ‘Ethernet Rate’.
Link Budget Calculator WinLink 1000 The Tx power EIRP for the system is given in dBm and Watts. 3. Select the required link distance and units of distance, kilometers or miles. 4. Click Calculate The Expected Performance parameters are calculated and displayed in the lower part of the table. Expected RSS – this is the number that the WinLink Manager software shows when the WinLink ODUs are best aligned. Services – Maximum E1/T1 services possible whilst maintaining full duplex Ethernet throughput.
Appendix D TDM Clock Configuration D.1 Overview This appendix describes the WINLink 1000 TDM clock configuration. The following picture describes the E1 or T1 service configuration. Figure D-1. E1 or T1 service configuration D.2 External clock requirements WINLink 1000 system assumes that all external equipments connected to a single site use the same transmit clock. In the picture above, E1 – 1 in (site A) and E1 – 2 in (site A) must use the same clock.
TDM Clock Configuration D.3 WinLink 1000 Clock selection WINLink 1000 automatically selects a single trunk for the timing. The trunk is selected according to the following rules: • Smaller trunk number • Both ends line state is in Normal • Each line state change in the selected trunk re-triggers a new clock selection according the above rules. If the selected trunk is in Los of Signal state, the WINLink 1000 uses its internal clock. There are two methods to configure the user equipment.
WinLink 1000 TDM Clock Configuration Example 1 Site A clocks: E1-1 IN and E1-2 IN differ, and all trunks are in normal condition, WINLink 1000 shall use trunk 1 for the timing and the second trunk shall experience pattern slips (the rate of the pattern slips is dependent on the ratio between the different clocks) Example 2 Trunk 1 is disconnected and trunk 2 is in normal condition. WINLink 1000 shall select trunk 2 for clock timing.
