Manual

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.
