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.
