1.SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The TRACER 64x0 provides license-free scalable connectivity for service providers and corporate networks. These radios feature two modular network interface ports that can accommodate various combinations of T1, E1, and Ethernet option cards up to 8xT1/E1 (16.384 Mbps). This flexibility provides customized time division multiplexed (TDM) and packet solutions for voice and data applications in a single platform. The TRACER 6410 and TRACER 6420 (L1 and L2) provide carrier class point-to-point connectivity up to thirty miles in the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz license-free Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands, respectively.

Complete network management is supported via simple network management protocol (SNMP), Telnet access, and a VT100 terminal interface (CRAFT port). SNMP traps are implemented for all RF link and T1/E1/Ethernet alarm conditions, enabling remote installations to report outages without requiring a truck roll to diagnose problems. Version 2 standard management information bases (MIBs) are supported for all interface cards, while an enterprise-specific MIB is provided for radio functionality. Triple-DES (3DES) security provides additional protection from unauthorized access without requiring any additional external security appliances. Encryption can also be disabled altogether. Future upgrades and enhancements can be added through FLASH firmware downloads via trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP) (on the Ethernet interface) or XMODEM on the CRAFT port.

Receive sensitivity is optimized through the use of extensive forward error correction and high-performance receiver design techniques. Dynamic receive sensitivity allows the user to increase receiver performance by decreasing the delivered bandwidth and increasing forward error correction. This feature maximizes link performance by customizing the delivered bandwidth to the specific needs of the installation. Three software selectable channel plans are supported to simplify frequency coordination at co-located sites. Channel plans are easily changed via any of the software management interfaces without the added expense of hardware upgrades or spare filter assemblies.

TRACER 64x0 wireless solutions maximize equipment density through the combination of compact size (only 1U rack space required), low power consumption, and high thermal transfer. TRACER 64x0 systems can be deployed at twice the density of other available wireless products.
