1. General Safety Information
The information that follows, together with local site regulations, should be studied by personnel
concerned with the operation or maintenance of the equipment, to ensure awareness of potential
hazards.
Switch off supplies before removing covers or disconnecting any RF cables, and before inspecting
damaged cables or antennas.
Avoid standing in front of high gain antennas (such as a dish) and never look into the open end of a
waveguide or cable where strong RF power may be present.
Users are strongly recommended to return any equipment that requires RF servicing to Silvus
Technologies.
CAUTION: This system contains MOS devices. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) precautions should be
employed to prevent accidental damage.
1.1 Health & Safety
Exposure to Non-Ionizing (RF) Radiation/Safe Working Distances
The safe working distance from a transmitting antenna may be calculated from the relationship:
D = √𝑃𝑇 ∙ 𝐺𝑅
4𝜋 ∙ 𝑤
In which D = safe working distance (meters)
PT = transmitter or combiner power output (watts)
GR = antenna gain ratio = anti log (gain dBi ÷10)
w = power density (watts/square meter)
The RF power density value is determined by reference to safety guidelines for exposure of the human
body to non-ionizing radiation. It is important to note that the guidelines adopted differ throughout the
world and are from time-to-time re-issued with revised guidelines. For Silvus use, a maximum power
density limit of 1w/m² is to be applied when calculating minimum safe working distances.
Important Note: It must be remembered that any transmitting equipment radiating power at frequencies
of 100kHz and higher, has the potential to produce thermal and a-thermal effects upon the human body.
To be safe:
a) Operators should not stand or walk in front of any high gain antenna such as dish antennas, nor should
they allow anyone else to do so.

b) Operators should not operate any RF transmitter or power amplifier with any of its covers removed,
nor should they allow anyone else to do so.

General Safety Notes
•A flashing/steady Red LED status indication is a normal condition, and is not meant to
convey a fault condition.
•The Power Disconnect Device for the product is the connector for the external AC/DC
Adapter or other DC power source.
•Although the Low Voltage DC powered units are approved for Outdoor use
(Dust/Temporary Immersion), the optional AC power option with AC/DC power supply is
only certified for indoor use.
•The unit housing serves as a heatsink, and must be mounted on a non-combustible
surface.
•The units are not User Serviceable. Contact the manufacturer for further instructions on
servicing or repair.

•Product cleaning should only be done with a soft cloth and mild detergent, do not use any
solvents that might remove case markings or labels.
•The unit, at the end of its useful life is to be disposed in accordance with local regulations,
or may be returned to the manufacturer.
•If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment and/or equipment performance may be impaired.

1.2 Maximum RF Power Density Limits
The RF Radiation Power Density limit figure recommended by Silvus is based upon guideline levels
published in:
a. IEEE standard C95.1 1999 - IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with respect to Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
b. Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-varying Electric, Magnetic & Electromagnetic Fields (up to 300
GHz) published in 1998 by the Secretariat of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP).
Both documents define guideline RF power density limits for "Controlled" and "Uncontrolled"
environments. An uncontrolled environment is defined as one in which the person subjected to the RF
radiation may be unaware of and has no control over the radiation energy received. The uncontrolled
environment conditions can arise, even in the best regulated operations and for this reason the limits
defined for the uncontrolled environment have been assumed for the RF Central recommended limit.
Documents a) and b) also show the RF power density guidelines to be frequency dependent. Different
power density / frequency characteristics are presented in the two documents. To avoid complexity and
to avoid areas of uncertainty, Silvus recommends the use of a single power density limit across the
frequency range 100 kHz to 300 GHz. The 1w/m² power density limit we recommend satisfies the most
stringent of the guidelines published to date.

2. Introduction
The StreamCaster family of MIMO radios was designed with operator ease of use in mind. Each radio is
capable of operating in a multitude of configurations that are accessed via simple web pages within the
radio. Settings such as transmit power, frequency, channel bandwidth, link adaptation and range control
can be accessed by simply using a web browser to log into any radio within the network. This quick start
user guide contains all essential information for the user to configure the StreamCaster radio as well as
how to run an iperf network test.
3. StreamCaster Network
Each StreamCaster MIMO radio has a fixed static IP address in the 172.20.xx.yy network. The
radio operates as a network switch; the user equipment does not need to be on the same subnet
as the radio during operation. It is possible to setup a secondary IP address on the radio if the
user finds this feature convenient. Setting up a secondary IP address is useful if the user wishes
to access the radio’s web interface in their network.

•Rapid Flashing Red for 1 second –The battery is less than or equal to 20%. LED
will blink red rapidly for 1 second then go back to normal. This will repeat every
5 seconds.
•Rapid Flashing Green –When the multi position switch is rotate to a new
position, LED will rapidly flash green while new settings are being applied. LED
will resume normal indication after settings have been applied.
