Safety Precautions
Installation and service must be done by personnel having technical training and
experience necessary to be aware of hazards during installation and/or service of
outdoors RF equipment. The installation and/or service must be done using procedures
designed to minimize any danger to technical personnel or any other person.
Use safety devices when working on or around the mast. Be aware of the risk of falling
objects. Use provided safety catches when hoisting antennas and radios.
Do not use any components (screws, nuts, etc.) other than those delivered together with
the Redline microwave radio equipment or those recommended by Redline.
Lightning Protection / Protection Contre la Foudre
When installed, this equipment is to be connected to a Lightning/Surge Protection
Device that meets all applicable national safety requirements. Before Ethernet cables
enter buildings, voltages shall be clamped down to SELV by approved type primary

WARNING: The information provide in this user manual consists of general
recommendations for installation the system equipment. The wireless equipment must
be installed by a qualified professional installer who is knowledgeable of the
requirements of installing outdoor radio equipment and follows local and national codes
for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use of
non-standard practices and procedures may result in personal injury and/or damage to
equipment.

RDL-3000 FAMILY USER MANUAL
70-00158-01-08 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2011 Page 13 of 150 December 7, 2011
The system must be properly grounded to protect against power surges and
accumulated static electricity. It is the user’s responsibility to install this device in
accordance with the local electrical codes: correct installation procedures for grounding
the unit, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, location of discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes.
All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to surge damage from a direct hit or
current induced from a near strike. A direct lightning strike may cause serious damage
even if recommended guidelines are followed. Installing surge protection and following
grounding practices detailed in local and national electrical codes can minimize
equipment damage, service outages, and chance of serious injury.
The major reasons for surge damage can be summarized as:
- Poorly grounded antenna sites
- Improperly installed surge protection equipment
A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth
without passing through and causing damage to parts of a structure. A good grounding
system disperses most of the surge energy from a lightning strike away from the building
and equipment. Improperly grounded connections are a source of noise that can cause
malfunctions in sensitive equipment. The remaining energy on the Ethernet cable shield
and conductors can be directed safely to ground by installing a surge arrestor in series
with the cable. A surge protection system does not prevent lightning strikes, but protects
equipment by providing a low resistance path for the discharge of energy safely to
ground. If you have determined that surge protection is required for your system, the
following general industry practices are provided as a guideline only:
1. The AC wall outlet ground for the indoor POE adapter should be connected to the
building grounding system.
2. Install a surge arrestor in series with the Ethernet cable at the point of entry to the
building. The grounding wire should be connected to the same termination point
used for the tower or mast.
3. Provide direct grounding connections from the RDL-3000, the mounting bracket, and
the antenna to the common building ground bus. Use the grounding screws provided
for terminating the ground wires.
L’installation exige aussi que l’appareil soit branché à un parafoudre qui répond à
toutes les normes nationales de sécurité.

2 Functional Description
2.1 Overview
The RDL-3000 operates on a common software base controlled by options keys. Each
key enables modes of operation (PTP/PMP), modulation, RF frequency, available
channel sizes, etc. The operator must obtain and enter a permanent options key for
each unit before deploying units in a production network. The RDL-3000 can operate in
PPM mode (following chapters) or PTP mode.
2.2 PMP Mode
This section describes the parameters required to configure PMP support and an
overview of supported VLAN functions.
Operation in PMP mode is controlled by the options keys. Separate options keys are
required for the sector controller and each subscriber. Enter the options keys before
deploying and configuring the RDL-3000 units.
2.2.1Overview
Features
The RDL-3000 PMP firmware provides the following main features:
IEEE 802.1Q/1p standards compliance
Multiple Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) services per subscriber
VLAN trunking with tag insert/delete/re-map
Multiple Transparent LAN Services (TLS) transport based on VLAN ID

70-00158-01-08 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2011 Page 19 of 150 December 7, 2011
Classification
The RDL-3000 can operate as a point-to-multipoint (PMP) VLAN-aware wireless L2
switch. Traffic is classified and processed by creating Service and Service Group profiles
to be applied to all packets received and being transmitted on the Ethernet port of each
RDL-3000. The sector controller and subscriber are configured separately for use with
VLAN tagged traffic, untagged traffic, or a combination these two types. Multiple VLAN
IDs can be configured for each port.
Each ingress and egress Ethernet packet is examined and classified according to the
VLAN ID. The matching profile and data direction determines if a VID should be added
or removed, if the packet should be forwarded unmodified (pass through mode), or if the
packet is discarded. Additional traffic controls include CIR/PIR settings to guarantee
required bandwidth.
Links and Services
Ethernet data traffic can not be transmitted over the wireless interface until at least one
Link, Service, and Service Group have been provisioned. All provisioning is performed
on the sector controller:
Link: Define the wireless connection between the sector controller and subscriber
and set the uplink and downlink uncoded burst rates (UBR).
Service: Define how packets are classified and processed at the subscriber Ethernet
port. Set traffic parameters for subscriber (unicast) traffic.
Service Group: Define how packets are classified and processed at the sector
controller Ethernet port. Set traffic parameters for broadcast/multicast groups.
2.2.2Wireless Links
A Link defines a wireless connection between the sector controller and subscriber Each
link is uniquely identified with either a name and the subscriber MAC address, or with a
link template (STID). The Link definition sets the uplink and downlink rates (UBR).

2.2.3Services and Service Groups
Overview
The RDL-3000 operates as a VLAN-aware wireless L2 switch, classifying and forwarding
traffic based on the packet VID. Ethernet ingress packets containing a VLAN (802.1Q)
field are first compared to the tagged-type Services or Service Groups defined for that
Ethernet port.
When a VID is matched to a classifier, the packet is processed according to the settings
for that Service or Service Group. Packets with a unicast address are forwarded based
on destination address. Packets with a multicast/broadcast address, and unicast
addresses with unknown destinations, are forwarded to all Service Group members.
A Service or Service Group set to 'Pass through' mode forwards (unmodified) packets
that are not matched to the classifier for any tagged Service or Service Group (e.g.,
unclassified VID or packet without 802.1Q tag). If no pass through classifier is defined,
non VLAN packets are discarded.
