REGULATORY INFORMATION

PART 15

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two con-

ditions:

1) this device may not cause harmful electromagnetic interference, and

2) this device must accept any interference received includinginterference that may cause undes-

ired operations.

FCC NOTICE: Radio and Television Interference

The PacketWave 100 Series Subscriber Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the lim-

its for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment

generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used according to the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter-

ference to radio or television reception, which is found by turning the equipment off and on, the user

is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment or device.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet other than the receiver's.

• Consult a dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for assistance.

CONVENTIONSUSEDINTHISMANUAL

PacketWave manuals represent special kinds of text as follows:

•Files names and URLs are represented in italics, with variables described inside

angle brackets. For example, if the URL http://<IP address>/bsu.htm is refer-

enced, you will replace the variable <IP address> with the appropriate real IP

address.

•Management interface text is represented by a bold font: for example, the

Generate Config File button.

•Labels on equipment are represented in a bold sans serif font: for example, the

Control connector.

WARNING: This format is used to indicate the possibility of personal injury

or serious damage to equipment.

CAUTION: This format is used to indicate the possibility of system or equip-

ment operation problems.

Items of special importance will be formatted and marked by a pointing-hand

icon, as this paragraph is.

INTENDEDAUDIENCEFORTHISMANUAL

This manual is intended for system designers and planners, base station installers,

system operators, and others requiring or desiring information about the PacketWave

System. It provides information specific to the PacketWave system, but cannot and

should not be considered a tutorial on relevant technologies and practices.

It is expected that system designers and planners are knowledgeable about radio

communications, cellular communication systems, and IP networks. Tutorials on

these subjects are beyond the scope of this manual, and are readily available in pub-

lished and on-line materials.

Installation of radio equipment involves numerous factors, such as lightning and

weather protection, requiring considerable expertise. It is assumed that equipment

installers are professionals with knowledge of the principles and standard practices

and procedures of cell site installation, with all relevant safety requirements, and with

applicable local building codes.

PREFACE

GENERALCAUTIONSAND WARNINGS

Observe the following when installing or operating any PacketWave System compo-

nents.

All installation, including equipment mounting and cabling, should be performed

by trained microwave radio technicians familiar with usual and customary

practices and procedures.

Always use quality components—including cables, connectors, mounts, etc.—spe-

cifically rated for your particular environmental conditions and system

performance requirements.

Always use appropriate tools, and follow the instructions of the tool

manufacturers.

Observe all applicable local building codes.

Observe all customary and mandatory safety requirements when installing and

operating PacketWave equipment.

Because Aperto cannot be responsible for improper installation or use of its equip-

ment, failure to follow these and other published cautions and warnings may void your

equipment warranty.
