Regulatory Compliance
General Note
This system has achieved Type Approval in various countries around the world. This means
that the system has been tested against various local technical regulations and found to
comply. The frequency bands in which the system operates may be “unlicensed” and in these
bands, the system can be used provided it does not cause interference.
FCC/IC - Compliance
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 and ICES-003 of IC. 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 receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance (RADWIN Ltd.) could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
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.
In accordance to IC standard RSS-Gen - 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
Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced
installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety
codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government
regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void the product warranty and
may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial
liabilities. Resellers or distributors of this equipment are not liable for injury,
damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor
units or antennas. The installer should configure the output power level of
antennas according to country regulations and antenna type.

Figure 1-3: Private Network
Key Features of RADWIN 1000/2000/5000
Some of the outstanding features of the RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 radio
series are as follows:
High Capacity
The RADWIN 1000/2000 system provides a high-capacity link of up
to 270Mbps at 40MHz channel bandwidth.
Superior Spectral Efficiency
RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 User ManualVersion 2.6.50p 1-3
Key Features of RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 Chapter 1
Built on advanced MIMO and OFDM technologies, the RADWIN
1000/2000 system provides a high-capacity link at channel bandwidth of 40MHz. This channel bandwidth supports high robustness
of the air interface under interference and harsh conditions. In countries where applicable, narrow channel bandwidth reduces the cost
of the spectrum license.
Advanced Air Interface
The RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 system provides an advanced airinterface based on MIMO, built-in diversity and OFDM technologies,
resulting in an exceptionally robust air interface.
Using the following technologies, the RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 air
interface is designed to ensure nonstop, high quality transmission,
even under interference and harsh conditions:
• Automatic Adaptive Rate (AAR) is a mechanism that dynamically adapts the air interface rate by changing both the signal
modulation and coding.
• Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) chooses the best channel by
monitoring the available radio channels and dynamically selecting a channel which is best suited for transmission at any given
time.
• Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) is a mechanism for error control during data transmission. When the receiver detects an
error in the received information, it automatically requests the
transmitter to resend the information. This process is repeated
until the transmission is error free or the error continues
beyond a predetermined number of maximum transmissions.
RADWIN 1000/2000/5000's ARQ mechanism is optimized for
time-critical traffic.
• Forward Error Correction (FEC) with very low o verhead and
algorithms specifically designed for the varying conditions of
license-exempt frequency bands, ensuring fast, robust and
error-free communications.
High transmission (Tx) power of 29.95dBm
The RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 system supports high Tx power, compliant with radio regulations. High Tx power increases the system's
availability and range, and enables the high performance with
smaller antennas, thus reducing the total cost of the solution (lower
CAPEX), installation and tower rent costs (lower OPEX).
Superior range performance
The RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 system supports high capacity at
superior ranges. The Link Budget Calculator (appendix D) is used to
determine the capacity and range according to the choice of product, antenna, type of service and environmental conditions.
Simple installation and management
RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 systems are extremely simple to install
and maintain. They are typically up and running in less than an hour.
RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 User ManualVersion 2.6.50p 1-4
RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 Link Chapter 1
The RADWIN Manager application has full local and remote management capabilities. The user-friendly SNMP based management tool
provides full end-to-end configuration, event logging, and performance monitoring capabilities.
Enhanced Security
The security features of RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 include:
• RADWIN 1000/2000/5000's AES 128-bit integrated advanced
encryption support provides enhanced air interface security for
carriers and private networks. It ensures user data protection
with one of the most sophisticated commercially available combined encryption and authentication techniques, CCM/AES. This
technique combines message authentication (preventing antispoofing and replay protection) with commercial encryption,
and complies with the IEEE 802.11i (phase iii) security recommendations.
CCM/AES uses a symmetric 128-bit encryption key (EK), and a
nonce, and provides both message encryption and authenticating signature. The nonce mechanism enables the receiver to
remember already received genuine messages and reject all
replayed messages.
• Initial encryption and authentication is based on a user-defined
master key (Link Password). While standard Wireless LAN
encrypts only the Ethernet Payload, the AES encrypts both the
source and destination MAC addresses.
• In addition to normal login access, Read or Write Community
access is available at login
RADWIN 1000/2000/5000 Link
The RADWIN 1000/2000 point-to-point solution is a wireless communication
link. RADWIN 5000 is a point-to-multipoint topology solution. Typically each
side of the link is comprised of an Outdoor Unit (ODU) and antenna and an

using Boldface for the menu labels and vertical bars to separate them.
Similarly, mouse click items will be referred to like this:
“Click Next to continue.”
(A mouse click always uses the left mouse button unless stated otherwise.)
Windows Terminology
Look at figure 1-13 above. The main application display which you see
consists of a frame-window with a menu bar, system icons and content. It
will be referred to as a window, the main window or the Manager window depending on context.
The top line of icons is the tool bar, and provides part of the menu bar
functionality with a mouse click.
At the bottom of the window is the status bar, a line of icons and text
boxes.
The central part of the main window consists of several panes: On the
right, there are Radio Interference, Ethe rnet Service and the Frequency
panes. The left hand pane (with the blue background) is split into three
sub-panes.
If you click Site A or Site B in the tool bar, you will be offered another window, which in turn displays on of sever a l panels depending on which function you choose.
