The outdoor unit transmit power is configurable using the Link Manager. The Link
Manager limits the max transmit power according to the antenna gain, the regulation
and the frequency band. The installer, if needed, can select a lower power.
Regulation of the unit defines the frequency band supported by the units:
FCC: 5.8 GHz.
ETSI: 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz.
Non-regulated: 5.x GHz.
The Link Manager supports two levels of privilege password: regular user and
administrator user. Since power output levels will affect compliance of the unit with
regulation 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 gain.
• Tx Power.
Please refer to WipAir_6000_3000_configuration_manual.pdf for more information.
FCC - 5.8 GHz
IMPORTANT! Antennas must be selected from a list of WaveIP approved
antennas. Please refer to Appendix C – FCC Approved Antennas.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using
the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC
rules apply), only those antennas certified with the product are
used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the
product is expressly forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47
part 15.204.
According to FCC part 15.247(b):
(1) The maximum peak output power of intentional radiator shall not exceed 1 Watt
(+30 dBm).
(3) If transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used, the peak
output power from the intentional radiator shall be reduced below the maximum peak
power (of +30 dBm) as appropriate, by the amount in dB that the directional gain of
antenna exceeds 6 dBi.
That is to say that the maximum EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) shall not
exceed +36 dBm.
(ii) Systems operating in 5.8 GHz exclusively for fixed, point-to-point operations
may employ transmitting antennas with directional gain greater than 6 dBi without
any corresponding reduction in transmitter peak output power.
That is to say that the maximum EIRP can exceed +36 dBm in point-to-point
applications.
Dynamic range of Tx power in WipAir 6000/3000 is 40 dB.
