selected link type (point-to-multi-point/point-to-point). The installer, if needed, can
select a lower power.
For example: if the selected antenna gain is 24 dBi, the regulation is FCC and the link
type is point-to-multi-point, the tool will set the maximum transmitted power (before
the antenna) to +12 dBm (so that EIRP will not exceed +36 dBm).
The Unit Manager Tool supports two levels of privilege password: regular user and
administrator user. Since power output levels will affect compliance of the unit with
FCC rules, precautions are built into the system to keep the end user from adjusting
the power output level above the regulation limits. Therefore, the following
parameters are Configurable only by administrator user:
• Antenna type (detached or integrated)
• Antenna gain
• Tx Power
• Link Type (point-to-multi-point or point-to-point)
The above configuration is done with the advanced window of the Unit Manager Tool –
(paragraph
10.5.1).
For open outdoor areas with clear line of sight between the SU and the AU the
suggested maximum distance is given in Appendix C – RF Power and Distance versus
Antenna Gain. For detailed calculations please refer to Appendix B – RF Link Budget
Calculation.

GigAccess™ OFDM was designed to work with co-located antennas. That means that
two or more units can be mounted close to each other. The minimum distance
between the two antennas should be 50 cm. The two antennas should be of the same
type (Directional Flat Panel Antenna or Base Station Antenna). The main idea is to
utilize polarizations: one antenna in vertical polarization and the other in horizontal
polarization.
Omni antennas are not relevant for co-location.
Note: The FCC 15.203 requirement prohibits the connection of detached antennas
with standard N-type connectors. In order to meet this requirement, the
detached antenna connectors provided on GigAccess™ OFDM models (with no
integral antenna) are non-standard, TNC connector. Only professional
technician will perform the installation.
Note: The distance between any two antennas should be at least 50 cm.
