WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.750 1-4
FCC – User Information
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance (WinLink™ 1000) could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in
the United States (or where FCC rules apply), only those antennas certified with the product
are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly
forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204.
Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced installation professionals
who are familiar with local building and safety codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by
the appropriate government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void the WinLink™
1000 warranty and may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial
liabilities. Radwin and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or violation
of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor units or antennas.
FCC Notation for Indoor Units IDU-E and IDU-C
Concerning all models and configurations
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

WinLink™ 1000 Key Features
The following represents some of the outstanding features that
WinLink™ 1000 provides:
TDM + Ethernet in one Solution
WinLink™ 1000 systems deliver carrier-class TDM + Ethernet over one
platform, making them ideal for a range of backhaul and access
applications.
Simple Installation
WinLink™ 1000 systems are extremely simple to install and maintain,
and are typically up and running in less than an hour.
Advanced Air Interface
The WinLink™ 1000 system design incorporates an exceptionally
robust air interface based on patented technologies. The unique air

How to Use this Manual
WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.750 1-16
interface protocol of WinLink™ 1000 is designed to ensure non-stop,
high quality transmission, even when encountering interference and
harsh conditions.
Automatic Adaptive Rate
Automatic Adaptive Rate is a method of dynamically adapting the
transmitted rate by changing both the signal modulation and coding.
Automatic Adaptive optimizes the data throughput according to
interference conditions, to optimize data throughput while maintaining
service quality.
Unique Multi Point-to-Point Deployment
RADWIN's WinLink™ 1000 products can be installed in a unique multi
point-to-point architecture. Multiple units are deployed in one hub site
location, from where they provide a dedicated, high-capacity
connection to each remote site.
This unique concept builds on RADWIN's Hub Site Synchronization
(HSS) feature, which synchronizes the transmission of collocated
WinLink™ 1000 units, thus virtually reducing mutual interference
commonly experienced with collocated TDD radios.
Enhanced Air Interface Security
WinLink™ 1000’s AES 128-bit key encryption provides enhanced air
interface security.
Advanced Management and Performance Monitoring
The WinLink™ 1000 Manager software has full local and remote
management capabilities. The user-friendly SNMP-based management
tool provides full end-to-end configuration, event log, and performance
monitoring capabilities.
How to Use this Manual
This manual (WinLink User Manual and Installation Guide version
1.750) contains instructions for both setting up and managing the
WinLink™ 1000 system. The following topics are covered:
•WinLink™ 1000 Hardware Installation
•WinLink™ 1000 Manager Software Installation
•Controlling and Monitoring the System Using the WinLink™
1000 Manager
•Troubleshooting

Overview
WinLink™ 1000 System Components
WinLink™ 1000 point-to-point solution is made up of a number of key
components.
Typically, each side of the link comprises an Indoor Unit (IDU), an
Outdoor Unit (ODU) and an antenna. A CAT5e cable from the IDU to
the ODU provides both Ethernet and Power. The link is managed via
the WinLink™ 1000 Manager application.
Figure 2-1: Example of Link Architecture

WinLink™ 1000 System Components
WinLink User and Installation Guide Version 1.750 2-19
The Indoor Unit (IDU)
The IDU provides TDM and Ethernet ports to connect to the link. It
also provides power to the ODU. The IDU is available in four
configurations:
IDU-E
A compact, half 19 inch wide, 1U plastic unit, providing up to two
Ethernet ports and up to two E1/T1 interfaces.
Figure 2-2: IDU-E Front Panel
Figure 2-3: IDU-E Back Panel
IDU-C
A 19 inch, 1U metal unit, providing two Ethernet ports, 4xE1/T1
interfaces, and dry contact connector alarm.
Figure 2-4: IDU-C Front Panel
IDU-R
A compact, half 19 inch, 1U plastic unit for 1 x T1/E1 backup, providing
in addition 2 Ethernet ports and an external alarms interface. IDU-R is
an indoor unit used for automatic backup of leased lines. IDU-R
monitors the status of leased lines, and in the event of a connection
failure automatically switches to the radio link. The user configures
which of the two links is the main link and which is the backup link.
IDU-R operates with all WinLink™ 1000 outdoor units.
