FCC Part 15.19 Warning Statement- (Required for all Part 15 devices)
THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.
FCC Part 15.21 Warning Statement-
NOTE: THE GRANTEE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE. SUCH
MODIFICATIONS COULD VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO
OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.
At 1000 mW Power (1W) and Antenna Gain of 4 (6 dB), and a minimum distance of 20cm (min separation distance for “Mobile Devices”).
S = 0.8 mW/cm2, which is less than the Uncontrolled Exposure Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limit.
For radios labeled with FCC ID T2KAE102882 the following applies:

2. EDL Nano - Enhanced Data Link (AE102429) and Rugged Enhanced Data Link (AE102882)
This unit is a software reprogrammable data link. This unit supports both Aeronix LAW functionality, GMSK waveform and video compression capabilities. The EDL Nano operates
over the frequency band of 1.8 to 2.5 GHz with the appropriate antenna systems. (WARNING:
DO NOT POWER UP WITHOUT A LOAD ON THE ANTENNA PORT).
Note: The pictures in this section are from AE102429. But, AE102882 operates the same and is just in a different housing.

2.3.2. USB Host
Software has not been formally tested.
2.3.3. Ethernet 1 & 2
Ethernet ports are both IEEE802.3 compliant 10/100 Mbps connection. Ethernet 1 is the primary Ethernet for the radio. Ethernet 2 currently is not configurable and usable on the radio.
2.3.4. Console RS-232
The Serial interface allows direct communication with the radio’s control processor. This interface is a RS-232 standard interface. Port is configured as 8-N-1, 115200 BAUD. This port provides the radio’s login console. You can login with administrative privileges by entering “root” at the login prompt and password “1234”.

The NANO output power will remain unchanged regardless of the RF environment. The NANO output power is based on frequency and is calibrated per Radio Card. Each radio will have its own calibration programmed and available for the user to view. Each NANO may vary from 1-2 dB of output power. See section 7.1 NANO output power for more information on determining the output power measured on a particular frequency.
3. System Configuration
3.1. Aeronix GUI interface
This simple yet powerful GUI uses uncomplicated intuitive screens to allow the average user the ability to:

Configure the system for their network Make the system operational Perform maintenance
The GUI screens and all their respective elements are described in the following subsections.
To get to the main page, type the following URL: http://<ip address of the radio>/
The recommended browsers to use are Internet Explorer Version 7 or newer and Mozilla Firefox.
3.2. SNMP interface
The NANO can be configured to run the Aeronix SNMP agent, and process SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) requests using the radio’s IP. This allows the user to configure and monitor the radio over an IP network.
3.3. Startup
Each unit is configured with an IP address. Using the IP address, one can access the GUI which can be used for configuring the radio to the user’s specifications. The typical factory default IP address that is set from the factory is 192.168.1.1 and the units default configuration is that of subscriber 1, unless specified otherwise. To browse the GUI type in the IP address of the unit in an internet browser. More information about the GUI screens and how to configure the unit can be found in this section.
3.4. Radio Maintenance Login
3.4.1. Using Serial Port A
1) Make sure antenna port has a load on it.
2) Apply appropriate power to unit.
3) Connect to Serial A port with terminal emulator. (Baud = 115200, 8-N-1 no flow
control)
4) Login by typing “root”
5) Enter password “1234”.
6) $ cd /mnt/jffs2
3.5. Ethernet alias IP address
The user can always access the radio over its Ethernet alias IP address of 169.254.1.1. This IP is consistent so if the user needs to access the GUI or SNMP and has forgotten the configured IP address for the radio’s Ethernet, then the user can access 169.254.1.1.
