Product information and planning
MPR-e 161
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a 
maximum gain of 42.5 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 
42.5 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 
ohms.
These antennas can only be used in a fixed point-to-point configuration.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be 
so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p) is not more than that 
permitted for successful communication.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of 
at least 12 meters from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction 
with any other antenna or transmitter.
Frequency Plan: For 9558HC frequency plan for the 5.725 and 5.850 GHz unlicensed band, 
refer to Figure 56.
Output Power: A requirement of operating in the unlicensed band is to limit transmit output 
power to not more than +30.0 dBm at the antenna port. It is the responsibility of the user to 
transmit not more than +30.0 dBm.

Danger: Danger of public exposure to long term RF radiated energy. When using a 1 ft flat 
panel antenna with a 1 watt (+30 dBm) output power, the antenna must be located in an 
area that does not allow the general population access to within 12 meters (5.8 Ghz) of the 
antenna.
Note: To meet FCC part 15 requirements, output power for 30 MHz 4QAM and 8QAM 
channels must not be provisioned greater than 24 dBm. This is not enforced by the user 
interface and is the responsibility of the operator to guarantee provisioning of the radio 
transmit power. For transmit power specification, refer to the System Application Rules 
document, found in the 9500 MPR-A Engineering Support Documentation manual (PN 
3EM23957AN).
