MDR2400-SR, MDR5800-SR and Orion 5825-SR 2 Technical Description 2.1 System Overview A digital radio link (DRL) consists of a pair of MDR / Orion radio stations. MDR2400, MDR5800 or Orion 5850 OU MDR / Orion IU User Data MDR2400, MDR5800 or Orion 5850 OU MDR / Orion IU User Data The radio stations consists of two main parts: • An Outdoor Unit operating in the 2.4GHz or 5.8 GHz ISM frequency bands.
MDR2400-SR, MDR5800-SR and Orion 5825-SR 2.2.1 Frequency plans The MDR5800 and the Orion 5850 Outdoor Units operate in the 5.725 GHz to 5.850 GHz ISM frequency band with predefined frequency channel plans (termed A, B, C and D). Channel plan D is user selectable / adjustable. The MDR2400 Outdoor Units operate in the 2.400 GHz to 2.4835 GHz ISM frequency band with predefined frequency channel plans (termed A, B and D). Channel plan D is user selectable / adjustable. 2.2.1.
MDR2400-SR, MDR5800-SR and Orion 5825-SR 2.2.1.2 MDR2400 Frequency Channel Plan A, B (non-FCC) The channel spacing is based on the bandwidth occupied by the spread spectrum signal (approximately 17 MHz) and is used to optimise link performance. In the case of plan A and B, note that both Outdoor Units of a link must be set up to the same frequency channel plan (i.e. A or B). HIGH BAND TRANSMIT LOW BAND TRANSMIT AL 2410 BL 2426 AH 2458 BH 2474 Frequency (MHz) Figure 2.
MDR2400-SR, MDR5800-SR and Orion 5825-SR The channel spacing is based on the transmit bandwidth, either 3 MHz, 6 MHz, or 10 MHz, software selectable. Different bandwidths can be selected dependent on the optimum link performance; required system sensitivity versus data transfer rate. Only channel frequencies that are FCC compliant can be selected through the configuration software. The channel frequency ranges are programmed into the radio firmware and cannot be adjusted by the user.
MDR2400-SR, MDR5800-SR and Orion 5825-SR 2.2.1.5 Frequency Channel Plan D (FCC Compliant) Frequency plan D allows independent control of transmit and receive frequencies. This allows a flexible frequency plan and can be used to overcome interference in the 2.4GHz and 5.8 GHz ISM bands. The frequencies that can be used in the lower or upper sub-bands can be selected in 1 MHz increments.

MDR2400-SR, MDR5800-SR and Orion 5825-SR 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.
MDR2400-SR, MDR5800-SR and Orion 5825-SR 3.4 Interference Considerations The ISM frequency bands are used by other devices that can cause interference to the MDR / Orion radio systems. Interference can be avoided by careful planning of the system installation. The available methods for providing isolation from interfering radiators are the following: l. Frequency diversity m.

MDR2400-SR, MDR5800-SR and Orion 5825-SR 2 Appendix: MANAGEMENT OF THE MDR2400-SR MDR5800-SR and the Orion 5825-sr All management of the MDR and Orion products are implemented using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), an open standard. The products can be managed by: 1. Standard SNMP managers such as HP OpenView or SNMPc i.e. there is Open Network Management compatibility. 2.
MDR2400-SR, MDR5800-SR and Orion 5825-SR There are three principle requirements to use SNMP with the MDR / Orion 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 Indoor Units can be configured or polled for information. 2.

MDR2400-SR, MDR5800-SR and Orion 5825-SR 10 APPENDIX: 1+1 PROTECTION SYSTEM OPERATION Introduction System Description When a single radio link is used to convey user data, any number of unexpected events may cause the link to fail resulting in user data being lost. This would require immediate corrective actions from the network operator responsible for maintaining the radio link.
MDR2400-SR, MDR5800-SR and Orion 5825-SR Technical Description System Overview The functionality required to establish a protected radio link is already built into the MDR- and Orion-type Software Radios. This implies that the user can set up a protected radio link by interconnecting the equipment for two parallel radio links through a 1U protection panel and a dedicated communications cable.
MDR2400-SR, MDR5800-SR and Orion 5825-SR each link in the redundant system separately through the Element-Manager port of each local Indoor Unit, in which case it is not necessary to assign unique IP addresses to the Indoor Units.
