IMPORTANT FCC INFORMATION

The Federal Communications Commission has released Office of Engineering and Technology Laboratory Division Knowledge Database (KDB) 44399, which refines the definition of Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) support. Since this device has the ability to use frequencies covered by DFS, KDB 443999 must be followed. It is published in full on the FCC web site: https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/forms/FTSSearchResultPage.cfm?switch=P&id=41732

In order to support FCC KDB 443999, Fortress has limited the use of certain frequencies within the 5400–5725 MHz range. Specifically, the frequencies defined by the FCC as being of primary interest are those in the 5600–5650 MHz range, which correspond to 802.11a channels 120, 124, and 128. In order to comply with the KDB 443999, these channels have been removed from use, or notched. Notched channels are unavailable for use on this device.

KDB 44399 provides additional restrictions on the use of channels within 30 MHz of notched channels when the device is within 35 km of a Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) installation. Affected channels 116, 132, and 136 serve as a guard of 30 MHz around the critical notched frequencies. Guard frequencies are unavailable for use on this device by default. The FCC allows these channels to be used, however, as long as the device is not within 35 km of a TDWR installation, as described in this excerpt of KDB 443999:

Any installation of either a master or a client device within 35 km of a TDWR location shall be separated by at least 30 MHz (center-to-center) from the TDWR operating frequency.

In some instances it is possible that a device may be within 35 km of multiple TDWRs. In this case the device must ensure that it avoids operation within 30 MHz for each of the TDWRs. This requirement applies even if the master is outside the 35 km radius but communicates with outdoor clients which may be within the 35 km radius of the TDWRs.

The requirement for ensuring 30 MHz frequency separation is based on the best information available to date. If interference is not eliminated, a distance limitation based on line-of-sight from TDWR will need to be used.

Please refer to the original KDB 443999 as posted on the FCC web site for the complete text.

In order to enable channels 116, 132, and/or 136, please contact Fortress to obtain a special license. This license will be issued after it is confirmed that the installation is not within 30 MHz and

ES820 Hardware Guide

In addition, the FCC recommends that all operators and installers register with the WISPA database used by government agencies to quickly find devices that may be causing interference and notify their owners/operators to shut them down. This registration is not required, but Fortress strongly recommends that all systems be registered, as described in this excerpt of KDB 44399:

A voluntary WISPA sponsored database has been developed that allows operators and installers to register the location information of the UNII devices operating outdoors in the 5470 – 5725 MHz band within 35 km of any TDWR location (see http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx). This database may be used by government agencies in order to expedite resolution of any interference to TDWRs.

KDB 443999 further specifies that the requirements of KDB 594280 must also be met. KDB 594280 is published in full on the FCC web site: https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/forms/FTSSearchResultPage.cfm?switch=P&id=39498.

This device meets KDB 594280 by not allowing any configuration options to be made such that the device could be taken out of compliance. There is no ability for the user to change country codes or to select power levels that would take the device out of compliance.

For customers such as the U.S. military or others willing to produce evidence that particular devices will be used only outside of the United States, a special license can be obtained from Fortress that will allow those devices the option of selecting a different, non-U.S. country code. Fortress creates such licenses only for those customers who offer proof of non-U.S. device usage, and licenses are specific to particular devices and are not transferrable. Devices having such a license should NOT be considered to be compliant with FCC regulatory requirements. Please contact Fortress with questions about these special licences.

Only software that has been signed by Fortress using the Fortress private key can be loaded onto a Fortress device, thus insuring that no software other than that which is controlled and signed by Fortress can by loaded onto the device.

FCC EMISSIONS COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

THIS EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN TESTED AND FOUND TO COMPLY

WITH THE LIMITS 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 IN

ACCORDANCE WITH 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 INTERFERENCE TO RADIO OR TELEVISION RECEPTION,

WHICH CAN BE DETERMINED 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 AND THE RECEIVER.

•CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT INTO AN OUTLET ON A CIRCUIT DIFFERENT FROM THAT TO WHICH THE RECIEVER IS CONNECTED.

iii

•CONSULT THE DEALER OR AN EXPERIENCED RADIO/TV TECHNICIAN FOR HELP.

YOU MAY ALSO FIND HELPFUL THE FOLLOWING BOOKLET, PREPARED BY THE FCC: “HOW TO IDENTIFY AND RESOLVE RADIOTV INTERFERENCE PROBLEMS.” THIS BOOKLET IS AVAILABLE FROM THE U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20402

CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR REGISTRANT OF THIS EQUIPMENT CAN VOID YOUR AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT UNDER FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RULES. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE WITH FCC REGULATIONS, SHIELDED CABLES MUST BE USED WITH THIS EQUIPMENT. OPERATION WITH NON-APPROVED EQUIPMENT OR UNSHIELDED CABLES IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN INTERFERENCE TO RADIO AND TELEVISION RECEPTION.

THIS DEVICE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH THE ANTENNAS HAVING A MAXIMUM GAIN OF 9 DB. ANTENNAS HAVING A GAIN GREATER THAN 9 DB ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED FOR USE WITH THIS DEVICE. THE REQUIRED ANTENNA IMPEDANCE IS 50 OHMS.

OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS:

(1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION OF THE DEVICE.

TO REDUCE POTENTIAL RADIO INTERFERENCE TO OTHER USERS, THE ANTENNA TYPE AND ITS GAIN SHOULD BE SO CHOSEN THAT THE EQUIVALENT ISOTROPICALLY RADIATED POWER (E.I.R.P.) IS NOT MORE THAN THAT PERMITTED FOR SUCCESSFUL COMMUNICATION.

ICES-003 STATEMENT:

THIS CLASS B DIGITAL APPARATUS COMPLIES WITH CANADIAN ICES-003.

CET APPAREIL NUMÉRIQUE DE LA CLASSE B EST CONFORME À LA NORME NMB-003 DU CANADA.

ANTENNA RESTRICTIONS

THIS DEVICE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO HAVE A MAXIMUM GAIN OF 9 DBI. ANTENNAS HAVING A GAIN GREATER THAN 9 DBI ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED FOR USE WITH THIS DEVICE. THE REQUIRED ANTENNA IMPEDANCE IS 50 OHMS. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT CAPABLE OF OPERATING IN THE 5600MHZ – 5650MHZ RANGE.

THIS PRODUCT MUST BE OPERATED NO CLOSER THAN 20CM TO THE HUMAN BODY.
