Appendix D Link Budget Calculator Overview The Link Budget Calculator is a utility for calculating the expected performance of the RADWIN 1000/2000 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. User Input You are required to enter or choose the following parameters.
Calculations Appendix D • Antenna gain and cable loss for ODU with integrated antenna • Available Channel Bandwidths Calculations EIRP EIRP = TxPower + AntennaGain SiteA – CableLoss SiteA Expected RSS and Fade Margin ExpectedRSS = EIRP – PathLoss + AntennaGain SiteB – CableLoss SiteB where: Site A is the transmitting site Site B is the receiving site PathLoss is calculated according to the free space model, PathLoss = 32.
Antenna Height Appendix D Availability = 6 × 10 × 10 –7 –-----------------------------------------------------------ExpectedFadeM arg in 10 × Cfactor × frequency GHz × ( RequiredRangeKM ) 3 Antenna Height The recommended antenna height required for line of sight is calculated as the sum the Fresnel zone height and the boresight height. See About the Fresnel Zone below.

The system operates in TDD mode and has the overhead of the air-interface protoco.l Thus, the Ethernet actual throughput is provided by the Ethernet Rate. For a given air-rate, Ethernet throughput will decrease with increasing range due to propagation delay. Note The Fade margin is the minimum required for LOS conditions.

About the Fresnel Zone Appendix D About the Fresnel Zone The Fresnel zone (pronounced "frA-nel", with a silent “s”) is an elliptically shaped conical zone of electromagnetic energy that propagates from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna. It is always widest in the middle of the path between the two antennas.
About the Fresnel Zone Appendix D The amount of the Fresnel zone clearance is determined by the wavelength of the signal, the path length, and the distance to the obstacle. For reliability, point-to-point links are designed to have at least 60% of the first Fresnel zone clear to avoid significant attenuation. The concept of the Fresnel zone is shown in figure D-9 above.
Appendix E Lightning Protection and Grounding Guidelines Meticulous implementation of the guidelines in this appendix will provide best protection against electric shock and lightning. 100% protection is neither implied nor possible. Warning This appendix is at best a guide. The actual degree of lightning protection required depends on local conditions and regulations.
Grounding for Indoor/Outdoor Units Appendix E Figure E-1: Grounding antenna cables Grounding for Indoor/Outdoor Units ODU Grounding RADWIN 1000/2000™ uses a Shielded CAT-5e cable to interconnect the Outdoor (ODU) and Indoor (IDU) units. However, this shielding does not provide a good Lightning Discharge path, since it can not tolerate the high Lightning Current surges.
External Lightning Surge Suppressors and Grounding Appendix E The device should be permanently connected to ground. External Lightning Surge Suppressors and Grounding A Grounding Kit and Surge Arrestor Unit must be located near the ODU and properly grounded as illustrated in figure E-2 and figure E-3 below: Figure E-2: Grounding a typical pole installation RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.
External Lightning Surge Suppressors and Grounding Appendix E Figure E-3: Grounding a typical wall installation The next figure shows a close-up of the rear of grounded ODU: Figure E-4: ODU Surge Suppressor and grounding RADWIN 1000/2000 User Manual Version 2.
External Lightning Surge Suppressors and Grounding Appendix E The Transtector protection circuits shown in figure E-5 below, utilize silicon avalanche diode technology. The unit consists of an outdoor rated NEMA 3R type enclosure with easy mounting flanges, ground stud attachment and easy wiring. The ALPU-POE features RJ-45 protection circuits for the ODU-IDU data pairs (pins 1,2 & 3,6) and DC power (pins 4,5 & 6,7 with the pairs bonded). The unit is designed to be wall mounted.
External Lightning Surge Suppressors and Grounding Appendix E 7. Replace the cover. Note There may also be regulatory requirements to cross bond the ODU-IDU CAT5e cable at regular intervals up the mast. This may be as frequent as every 10 meters (33 feet). A second Surge Arrestor Unit should be mounted at the building entry point and must be grounded, as shown in figure E-3 above. ¾ To mount the lightning protection at the building entry point: 1.
Internal ESD Protection circuits Appendix E Figure E-6: Surge Suppressor and grounding at building entry point Internal ESD Protection circuits RADWIN 1000/2000™ is designed to meet the ETSI/FCC/Aus/NZ/CSA EMC and Safety requirements. To fulfill these requirements, the system's Telecom lines at the ODU/IDU are Transformer-isolated and include internal ESD (Electro-Static-Discharge) Protection circuits.

Appendix F MIB Reference Introduction About the MIB The RADWIN MIB is a set of APIs that enables external applications to control RADWIN equipment. The MIB is divided into public and a private API groups: • Public: RFC-1213 (MIB II) variables, RFC-1214 (MIB II) System and Interfaces sections • Private: Controlled by RADWIN and supplements the public group. This appendix describes the public and private MIB used by RADWIN. Terminology The following terms are used in this appendix.
Community String Appendix F in the link. Both agents communicate with each other over the air using a proprietary protocol. Each ODU has a single MAC address and a single IP address. Note To control and configure the device using the MIB, you should adhere to the following rules: • The connection for control and configuration is to the local site, over any SNMP/UDP/IP network. • All Parameters should be consistent between both of the ODUs.
Private MIB Structure Appendix F Figure F-1: Top Level Sections of the private MIB The products MIB section contains the definition of the Object IDs for the two form factors of the ODU, Integrated Antenna and Connectorized (referred in the MIB as external antenna): The ODU MIB contains the sections: Admin, Service, Ethernet, Bridge, Air, PerfMon and Agent. The IDU MIB contains the sections: Admin, Service, Ethernet, Bridge and TDM.
MIB Parameters Appendix F MIB Parameters The following section describes all of the MIB parameters. The MIB parameters follow the following naming convention: ... For each of the configuration and control parameters (parameters with read-write access), the “Description” column describes when the new value is effective. It is recommended that you perform the appropriate action to make the values affective immediately after any change.
