1.0 ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual presents installation and operating instructions of the

MDS TransNET 900™ and MDS TransNET 2400™ transceivers for use by

a professional installer. This person is expected to install, operate, and

perform basic system maintenance on the described radio. Following instal-

lation, we suggest keeping this manual near the equipment for future refer-

ence.

2.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The transceiver, shown in Figure 1, is a spread spectrum radio designed for

license-free operation. These units employ Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

technology to provide highly-reliable long-distance communications, even in

the presence of weak signals or interference.

DSP technology also makes it possible to obtain information about radio

operation and troubleshoot problems, without going to the Remote radio site.

Using appropriate software at the Master station, diagnostic data can be

obtained on any DSP radio in the system, even while payload data is being

transmitted. (See “Performing Network-Wide Remote Diagnostics” on

Page 49.)

The transceiver is housed in a compact and rugged die-cast enclosure that

need only be protected from direct exposure to the weather. It contains a

single printed circuit board with all necessary components for radio opera-

tion. No jumper settings or manual adjustments are required to configure the

radio for operation.

2.1 Transceiver Features

Listed below are several key features of the transceiver. These are designed

to ease the installation and configuration of the radio, while retaining the

ability to make changes in the future.

• 902–928 MHz operation using the TransNET 900

• 2400–2482 MHz ISM band operation with the TransNET 2400

• User-selectable option to skip sub-bands with constant interference
