professionally installed on fixed-mounted permanent outdoor structures for satisfying RF
exposure requirements.
3. Connect a computer to the transceiver’s RS232 port (please refer to the part C of this
addendum for more information about the transceiver’s pin assignment). This computer will
be used to set the radio’s configurations.
4. Install the power for the radio.
5. Set the radio configuration according to the system topology and data terminal equipment
requirements. Default transceiver settings allow user to do a quick installation without major
changes in transceiver’s configuration. But there is one parameter that must be considered
for a new installation – transceiver’s power output settings.
Transceiver output power level must be set according to the tables given below to satisfy
FCC maximum EIRP requirement. Per FCC regulations, any antenna used with FreeWave
transceivers must either be one of the approved antennas shown below or an antenna
approved by FreeWave Technologies with comparable performance parameters. FreeWave
Technologies offers a variety of omnidirectional and directional external antennas, with both
bracket and magnetic mounts. The complete list of antennas available from FreeWave
Technologies including antenna gains, antenna manufacturer’s information and antenna’s
characteristics is shown below:
