13.2.2 Antenna Choices – 5.8 GHz
The integrated antenna has a gain of 23 dBi.
In non-FCC regions antenna choice is not restricted but any region specific EIRP limit must be
obeyed by reducing the maximum Transmit power
In FCC regions external antennas from the list in
5.8 GHz" can be used with the Connectorized version of the 300 Series Bridge. These are approved
by the FCC for use with the product and are basically constrained by the following limits:
Single Polarization Flat Plate Antennas – up to 28 dBi per antenna.
Single/Dual Polarization Parabolic Dish Antennas – up to 37.7 dBi per polarization or antenna.
In FCC regions when using external antennas – cable loss between the connectorized version of
the 300 Series Bridge and the antenna ports must not be less than 1.2 dB.
13.2.3 Suggested Antenna Choices – 5.4 GHz
The integrated antenna has a gain of 23 dBi.
External antennas from the list in
the Connectorized version of the 300 Series Bridge. These can be used with the product and are
basically constrained by the following limits:
Single/Dual Polarization Parabolic Dish Antennas – up to 34.6 dBi per polarization or antenna.
However, the Maximum Transmit Power must be reduced to avoid exceeding the EIRP limits. In
FCC regions when using external antennas – cable loss between the connectorized version of the
300 Series Bridge and the antenna ports must not be less than 1.2 dB.

13.3 Software/Features

The connectorized variant operates in the same way as the basic 300 Series and is released initially
with the feature set to the Connectorized 300 Series variant. The areas where the functionality is
modified are:

13.3.1 Status Page

The link loss calculation presented on the Status Page of the management interface has to be
modified to allow for the increased antenna gains at each end of the link. The manufacturing
process of the Connectorized 300 Series Bridge configures the standard hardware of the unit for
use with external antennas. The installer is prompted, as part of the installation process, to enter
the gain of the external antenna(s) and cable losses at each end of the link.

Maximum Transmit Power Allowed = EIRP Limit – Antenna Gain + Cable Losses; set the power to the 1dB value
lower than the actual value calculated.
