Exposure Compliance
FCC ID: PEJ-9382010
It is the responsibility of the licensee or user to guarantee compliance with the
appropriate MPE regulations when operating this device in a way other than described
herein. The installer of this equipment must ensure the antenna is located or oriented
such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of the guidelines in FCC OET Bulletin
65/47CFR § 1.1310.

People should not be near the antenna when the radio link is operating as general
practice and maintain a safe distance as calculated below.
The MPED (Maximum Permissible Exposure Distance) is calculated using the FCC limit
(0.2 mW/cm2) for a general population/uncontrolled exposure in the 30-300 MHz
frequency band.
To calculate safe distance:
mitExposureLi
nAntennaGaiDutyCycleowerConductedP
MPED
4
Where:
MPED is Maximum Permissible Exposure Distance or safe distance in cm;
ConductedPower is the power delivered to the antenna in mW;
ExposureLimit is the limit for General Population/ Uncontrolled exposure in mW/cm2
All quantities are calculated in linear or numeric quantities.
The XETA1-M2 transmitter duty cycle varies depending on many factors. Packet sizes,
which are set up by the installer as part of the radio/network configuration, are a
primary determinant. At power up and with no data payload, the radios will transmit a
beacon with a duty cycle of 6 to 10%, depending upon modulation setting. The duty
cycle will increase when a data payload is transmitted, but will also be influenced by
network configuration, network type, number of radios in the network, propagation
distance between radios, and other factors. For the purpose of the MPED calculation, a
worst case duty cycle of 100% will be assumed, although this duty cycle is not achieved
in typical operation.
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.
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 energy and interference. If not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, the Xeta1 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
6
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:
1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2) Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
3) Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
4) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Integrators are responsible for including RF exposure information statements in their final
user manuals.

2 Standard Operating Menu
If the characters are garbled, or nothing is displayed, then it is likely that the computer’s
serial port does not match the radio’s serial port or the proper converters may not be in
use. The radio is shipped from the factory configured at 115200 Baud. This value can be
configured differently by the factory upon customer request. Thus, if the radio is new,
the computer settings should be verified with a different serial port device. If the radio
has had settings changed from the factory settings, then you may need to try different
computer baud rates to find the match with the radio.
This screen displays the current configuration of the radio and of importance is the third
line with the Mode (Master/Repeater/Slave) of the radio and the mating radio on the
other side of the link and the device addresses (numbered 8 and 1 in the example) of
the two radios making the link. In this example, the radio is a Slave unit numbered 8
and will link with a master unit numbered 1.
The “0” option will pause the radio RF operation and display the configuration settings
menu as below.
The “1” option will cause the values such as temperature and link state to refresh on
screen.
The “2” option will reset the Byte, Error and Packet counters to zero.
The “3” option will turn on or off the automatic refreshing of variables currently
displayed.

Upon entering the “0” option the following screen is displayed.
3 Serial Port Configuration
If the data serial port needs to be modified, that may be done by option “0”.
Each radio has two serial ports for communication; one is a lower speed diagnostics port
and the second is a high speed data port. The ports are configured at the time of order
for either 3.5V or 5V operation at Xetawave and are not modifiable in the field. The
ports are typically configured as 8 bits of data with no parity and 1 stop bit by default.
The diagnostics port does not have hardware flow control while the data port does have
hardware flow control.
The diagnostics port should always be configured to the parameters as listed under the
HyperTerminal subsection, but the configuration for the data serial port is editable
through this menu. In order to communicate, the computer’s serial port needs to have
the same configuration as listed by this menu where, in this example:
Baud rate would be set to 115200. Data bits, parity, and stop bits are given by the three
characters in the Data serial framing field. So in this case there are 8 data bits, no parity,
and 1 stop bit. The flow control should always be set to hardware.

The diagnostic serial Baud rate is shown for reference but is not adjustable.
Option “3” is selected to modify the output clock that is synchronous to the data serial
port. The output clock may be used to synchronize the user hardware to the radio clock
for ease of serial port interface but is not required.
The baud rate for the data port can be changed by selecting “0” and the various speeds
will be displayed:
Care must be taken when changing the baud rates since the computer must match the
expected rate of the radio.

4 RF Configuration
This menu allows for the selection of the frequency characteristics of the radio and can
be accessed from the main configuration menu by selecting menu option “1”.
Menu for 100 MHz band operation:
Option “5” is the allowable RF power output setting and is bound the max limits as
defined by the certification. The power is dynamically adjusted to maintain this value
as conditions change within the limits set. If the load does not permit this power
setting, then the power is automatically adjusted to its maximum value. Additionally,
thermal monitors continuously measure the output amplifier of the radio and can
reduce the power level if the temperature rises above a predefined set limit.
Option “6” is the distance between the master unit and the farthest slave (or repeater)
unit that is connected to the master. This sets the delays for receiving an ACK from a
slave and generally slows the network down as the distance increases.
The RF transmit power sets the power as measured at the connector. This value must
be set by the user to be the within the allowed level based on regulatory limits with the
appropriate antenna attached.

The final RF input is the maximum distance between master/slave radios. This distance
determines the propagation delay so that a short distance will have less delay and a
higher throughput. The higher that this parameter is, the lower the data speed but
setting this parameter to a smaller value than the actual separation can result in higher
error rates. Important: this parameter must be the same for all radios in a given
network.
