1 014-0030-00 Rev. G 1 Introduction This document provides an overview of the Access Point and is shown below. It also provides product specifications, characteristics, and requirements for the Access Point (AP). Figure 1. Access Point 1.1 AP Product Configurations The following AP product configurations are currently available for worldwide markets. The Element Management System (EMS) software is used during network configuration and setup of the AP. This software automatically configures the maximum allowed TX power levels (EIRP) taking into account regulatory domain, antenna gain, and cable loss. 1. FCC/IC Configuration (Model: ULPAP110) The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)/Industry Canada (IC) configuration supports transmit power requirements up to 30 dBm conducted, 36 dBm EIRP, with 38 channels available. It contains a cavity filter for high out-of-band rejection. It is EMC compliance certified to FCC Part 15C Section 15.247 and IC RSS 210 Issue 7. 2. FCC Sectorized AP (Model: ULPAP210) The Sectorized AP Configuration is limited to 26 dBm conducted transmit power, up to 43 dBm EIRP, from (2402-2475.63MHz). This configuration requires two ULPAP110 APs professionally installed, with each AP connected to a 17dBi 90 degree antennas. 3. FCC/IC Dual Latency Configuration (Model: ULPAP310) The ETSI Dual Latency configuration is made up of two ULPE100, one for each sub-band, connected to the antenna through a diplexer. The software configures each sub-band channel to a maximum of 30dBm at the antenna port. The antenna gain must be such that the maximum radiated power is 36dBm EIRPper channel. The system processess two independent information streams through the diplexer to the antenna. Each diplexer sub-band allows 3 or 4 one MHz channels. There are four possible sub-bands. The system is professionally installed. 4. ETSI Standard Configuration (Model: ULPAPE100) The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) configuration is limited to 10 dBm of conducted transmit power, up to 10 dBm EIRP, with 40 channels available. It
Access Point Product Specification Introduction 2 014-0030-00 Rev. G does not have an internal cavity filter. It is EMC compliance certified to ETSI-301-489 and ETSI-300-440. 5. ETSI RFID Configuration (Model: ULPAPE100) The ETSI Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) configuration is limited to 10 dBm conducted transmit power, up to 27 dBm EIRP, with three channels available (2446-2454MHz). This configuration does not have an internal cavity filter. The hardware is the same as the ETSI standard version; however the software is configured to accommodate the power and frequency specifics. The AP is EMC compliance certified to ETSI-301-489, ETSI-300-440, and EU REC 70-03 (Annex 11). APs are permitted to operate under EU REC 70-03 (Annex 11) in France, Germany, Ireland, Spain, Switzerland–Liechtenstein, and United Kingdom. 6. Japan Configuration (Model: ULPAPE100) The Japan configuration is limited to 10 dBm conducted transmit power and up to 12 dBm EIRP with 41 channels available. It does not have an internal cavity filter. The hardware is the same as the ETSI standard version, however the software is configured to accommodate the power and frequency specifics. It is EMC compliance certified to Japanese Radio Law; Item 19 of Article 12 (category WW) and ARIB STD-T66. 7. Hong Kong Configuration (Model: ULPAP110) Hong Kong allows two different paths to certification utilizing rules for either China or FCC/IC. The FCC/IC certification rules were used to certify the AP. Certification in Hong Kong is based on the same information and tests provided for FCC/IC certification. The Hong Kong version of the AP is identical to the FCC/IC version so all information is the same. As with the FCC/IC configuration, the Hong Kong version supports transmit power requirements up to 30 dBm conducted, 36 dBm EIRP, with 38 channels available. It contains a cavity filter for high out-of-band rejection. It is EMC compliance certified to FCC Part 15C Section 15.247 and IC RSS 210 Issue 7. 1.2 References The following document provides additional details about the AP.  AP Deployment Guide (PN: 010-0006-00 for 1.4 system and PN: 010-0021-00 for 2.1 system) Provides network planning considerations, installation and software configuration guidelines and instructions, and maintenance information for the AP as a part of the RPMA network which enables remote wireless communication.

G 3 Electrical Characteristics 3.1 Power over Ethernet (PoE) The nominal 48VDC on the Ethernet cable is separated from the data and regulated with a switching power supply to 5.0VDC. This printed circuit board is equipped with lightning protection, surge protection, and differential and common mode filtering. It also includes a tamper protection device that will report to the system if the box cover has been opened. NOTE: The AP is not 802.3AF or 802.3AT compliant. It requires a dedicated passive injector and cannot be powered directly from most PoE switches. Table 3.

14 014-0030-00 Rev. G 5 GPS In normal operation, the AP requires Global Positioning System (GPS) synchronization. The GPS connector of the AP receives signals from its externally mounted antenna. The AP also supplies approximately 3.3 VDC at up to 50 mA through the RF connector for best GPS reception. No additional external DC connections are required. There is an internal current limit function that is designed to limit the available current in the range of 100 mA to 150 mA. Since there is DC power on the RF connector, keep in mind there should never be a DC short applied to the GPS connector. However, the current limit should self-protect itself from shorts. If a short is detected a software alarm is generated and the 3.3 VDC is removed from the GPS connector. NOTE: The AP must be power cycled to restore power to the GPS antenna.
15 014-0030-00 Rev. G 6 Transmitter Information 6.1 Transmit Spectral Shape The spectrum shape of the AP can be described as similar to the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) which uses Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) but with a 1 MHz signal passband instead of the 200 kHz for GSM. Spectral side lobes are present even when the transmitter is in the linear range. As the Power Amplifier (PA) goes into compression (starting around 25 dBm) the main lobe compresses inward while the side lobes increase in amplitude. Pout  0 dBm Pout  30 dBm Figure 6. Spectral Shape—Linear and Compressed 6.2 Load VSWR Effects on TX Power Accuracy The gain of the high power PA (Pout ≥ 16 dBm) is susceptible to load Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). A summary of VSWR effects on TX power accuracy is listed in the following table. This establishes minimum return loss (VSWR) requirements of ≤ -15 dB. Note that in normal operation, the closed loop power control will attempt to compensate for some gain variation. Table 12. Summary of TX Gain/Power Variation Due to Load VSWR Return Loss Gain/Power Variation Comments 7 dB ± 1.5 dB Not to specification 15 dB ± 0.7 dB To specification 20 dB ± 0.35 dB To specification
16 014-0030-00 Rev. G 7 Hardware Requirements 7.1 Antenna Requirements For the main antenna the exact model(s) are part of the compliance testing and are required to be used to avoid EMC non-conformance. In some cases if customers use a different antenna and it is the same radiation type (monopole, sector, etc.) and is of equal or lower gain, non- conformance is avoided. The exact requirements are specific to each market. Customers are encouraged to contact Ingenu application engineering or their local regulatory agency for details. All main antennas are required to have a return loss in-band of > 15 dB (≤ 1.4:1 VSWR), per Table 12, for VSWR. The GPS antenna can be any of the commonly available amplified types on the market. The optimum gain range is approximately 20 dBic to 50 dBic. Table 13.

The HG-2409U-PRO has 1 dB more gain and slightly more rugged construction. The HGV-2409U has better return loss and can be mounted upside down. Table 14.

The acceptable loss ranges are listed in Table 2. Summary of AP Product Specifications. The length that can be achieved within these ranges depends on the cable chosen. 7.3 Ethernet Speed and Cable Requirements Unshielded CAT5 (or CAT5E or CAT6) with a length up to 100 meters is permissible. For ETSI markets the host Ethernet adaptor must be configured for 10 MB full duplex communication, not 100 MB or auto. Using 100 MB speeds will result in non-compliance to ETSI EMC regulations, per 489-2: clause 8.7. 7.4 LEDs The AP has two green LEDs that are visible on its front panel.  Status This LED indicates RPMA network receive/transmit activity. The AP must be online and active.  Link This LED reflects the status of Ethernet activity for the AP.
