Product Compatibility
While every effort has been made to verify operation of this product with an
array of different communications products and networks, BridgeWave makes
no claim of compatibility between its products and other vendors’ equipment.
Carefully evaluate this product’s applicability and projected performance
characteristics in the communications environment in which it will be used.
Safety and Regulatory
United States of America
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases
of operation and service of the products covered in this manual. Failure to
comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this
manual can void the warranty.
Do not stand directly in front of an energized antenna.
Do not install or operate the equipment in the presence of or close to
flammable fumes or gases. Operating any electrical instrument in such
an environment is a safety hazard.
BridgeWave radios meet all applicable U.S.A. FCC safety requirements
for general population exposure to radio frequency emissions; however,
it is best to avoid prolonged, unnecessary exposure to the waveguide
opening while it is operating.
Please refer to Articles 810 and 830 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, for installations in the U.S.A. for information
regarding proper grounding and applicable lightning protection for DC
cables.
Outdoor equipment must be properly grounded to provide protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. In the event of a
short circuit, grounding reduces (but does not eliminate) the risk of
electrical shock.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved (in writing) by
BridgeWave’s Engineering and/or Product Management personnel can
void the warranty. For installations in all other countries, implement
protection in accordance with the safety standards and regulatory
requirements of the country where the equipment is to be installed.
Protection from Lightning
Article 810 of the US National Electric Department of Energy Handbook 1996 specifies
that radio and television lead-in cables must have adequate surge protection at or
near the point of entry to the building. The code specifies that any shielded cable
CAUTION
CAUTION

Page 8 of 84
040-57105-01
from an external antenna must have the shield directly connected to a 10 AWG wire
that connects to the building ground electrode.
Protection from RF Emissions
It is hazardous to look into or stand in front of an active antenna aperture. Do not
stand in front of or look into an antenna without first ensuring the associated
transmitter or transmitters are switched off. Do not look into the waveguide port of an
ODU when the radio is active.
LASER SAFETY NOTICE
This product complies with CFR 1040.10, 1040.11 and EN (IEC) 60825-1 regulations
and safety standards. The product may include a Class 1 laser utilized as a fiber optic
driver. Class 1 lasers do not emit radiation at known hazardous levels.
However, it is recommended that maintenance or service personnel should never look
at an open fiber end or connector that is carrying a live signal. During use, this optical
fiber communications system is completely enclosed except if an accidental break
occurs in the system cable, or if the patch cable becomes accidentally disconnected
from the demarcation box.
There are no controls or adjustments other than power ON/OFF that may be accessed
by the user.
Risk of Personal Injury from Fiber Optics
DANGER: Invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to the end
of a fiber, fiber cord, or fiber pigtail. The infrared light used in fiber
optics systems is invisible, but can cause serious injury to the eye.
WARNING: Never touch exposed fiber with any part of your body. Fiber
fragments can enter the skin and are difficult to detect and remove.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedure other than
those specified in this Manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
CONSTRUCTION SAFETY NOTICE
Note that each locality has its own codes of safety and construction. Equipment
installations must comply with these codes. It is the installer/user’s responsibility to
understand what codes apply and to ensure that the installation conforms to these
codes.
Input Power Requirements
Do not turn on the power before reading BridgeWave’s product documentation. This
device has a -48 VDC direct current input at less than 50VA.
NOTE: The power requirement for the FLEX4G-LITE is 48VDC at 32W.

Radio Setup
Click on Radio Functions>Setup in the Navigation Panel. The following
screen appears.
This page contains the panel where radio configuration changes can be made;
it also displays the current status of the modem and the link.
Please be aware that any changes that are entered are only made to the
radio, to which you are currently connected, and any changes made to
Frequency, Bandwidth, Mute, CW, or Data Rate will take down an operating
link until the same changes are made at the other end of the link.

Channel Bandwidth: Pull down menu allows the user to select the
operating channel bandwidth, if licensed, from the pull down menu.
Channel Frequency: Input the Transmit Frequency in MHz for which this
radio is assigned. Valid frequencies must be divisible by 62.5MHz.
ODU Polarity: This field not configurable. However, the field will display the
current polarity the unit is on.
ATPC or Alignment: Select “ATPC” or “Alignment” from the next pull down
menu. “Alignment” should only be selected for use during the alignment
procedure as it will fix the transmit power per the value set in the Alignment
TX Power box. The radio must be set to ATPC after the link is properly
aligned for normal operation.
Min TX Power and Max TX Power: Enter the Minimum and Maximum
Transmit ATPC power levels. Allowable range is from -5 dBm to +22 dBm.
This feature only works with ATPC is selected.
Alignment Tx Power: Enter a specific transmit power value. This feature
only works when Alignment mode is selected.
Mute: Enable Mute to stop RF Transmission of the local radio. The Mute
Timeout value is configured under the Configuration page. The default
value is 10 mins.
CW: Disables transmitter modulation and sends a constant carrier out the
antenna port for tests requiring an unmodulated signal.
Minimum and Maximum Bit Rate: Selects the allowable minimum and
maximum bit rates from the pull down menus. This must be done in order for
Adaptive Coding and Modulation to operate. The maximum bit rate is
controlled by the license key installed on the Licensing page.
CPRI (Port 2): Select the CPRI speed from the pull down menu. The range
available is: 614.4Mbps –3.072Gbps.
Setting the Radio’s IP Address
Radio IP Address can be changed by selecting the following link from
the Navigation pane:
Switch>Configuration>System>IP in the Navigation Panel.
This will open the following screen.

Figure 6: IP Configuration Page
Note: The unit is preconfigured with a default IP address from the factory depending
on the unit type (Low Band or High Band). This address is associated with VLAN 1
which is also created at the factory during initial configuration. Using the “Factory
Defaults”page to revert the configuration will not change the IP address configured
by the customer. However, using the CLI command to default the unit will cause all
VLAN and IP information to be lost. Unless the “keep IP” option is use, a new VLAN
and IP address will have to be configured via the serial port.
Also, saving the changes by clicking on the “Save” button will not keep the new
settings unless the startup-config is saved. This is done by navigating to the “Save
startup-config” page using the following link:
Switch>Maintenance>Configuration>Save startup-config
This page is divided into three sections; IP Configuration, IP Interfaces,
and IP Routes. Once all changes have been made, click the “Save”
button before proceeding to another page.
IP Configuration: This section allows for the configuration of the unit to act as
a Host (default setting) or router. It also allows for the configuration of the
DNS server.
Mode: Host mode, IP traffic between interfaces will not be routed. Router
mode traffic is routed between all interfaces.
DNS Server: This setting controls the DNS name resolution done by the
switch.
From any DHCP interfaces: The first DNS server offered from a DHCP –enable
interface will be used
No DNS server: No DNS server will be used (default setting).
