Page 13: Section 1 Tracer 4103/4203 Description
30 miles or more depending on path engineering. System performance is determined, in part, by the engineering of the microwave link. Each end of a TRACER 4103/4203 link is composed of a single rackmount unit. Two DS1/DSX-1 (T1) interfaces are provided on the rear of the TRACER 4103/4203, which can be mounted in a 19 or 23 inch rack. -
Page 14: Applications
Figure 1-1. Typical Application The TRACER 4103 or 4203 can be used in any application requiring that data be shared at a high rate of speed. In addition to telephony applications, TRACER 4103 or 4203 can be used in data communications such as internet networking, video conferencing, and telemetry. -
Page 15: Forward Error Correction
Error correction can be accomplished by allowing the receiver to request the retransmission of a detected errored block. The TRACER 4103 and TRACER 4203, on the other hand, implement forward error correction (FEC) which adds enough overhead data for the receiver to detect and correct errors in the data stream without the need for retransmission. -

“0s” and the data is recovered intact. DS1/DSX-1 Interface When connecting the interface to the public switched network, an ADTRAN-provided cross-over cable (part number 3125M011) is required to meet FCC part 68 and IC CS03 requirements. This cable is required to cross-over the Tx and Rx pairs to meet the connecting arrangement of a network interface device. -

Page 26: Setting The Transmitter Power
6 dBi. At 2.4 GHz (TRACER 4103), the 1 watt maximum transmitter power must be reduced by 1 dB for every 3 dB of antenna gain over 6 dBi. Since the TRACER 4103 maximum transmit power is 100 milliwatts, only antennas with gains above 36 dBi (12 foot diameter parabolic dishes) require any reduction in transmit power. -
Page 27: Chipping Code
On the TRACER 4103/4203, plan A corresponds to a TX center frequency of 2422 MHz and an RX center frequency of 2462 MHz. Plan B on the TRACER 4103/4203 corresponds to a TX center frequency of 2462 MHz and an RX center frequency of 2422 MHz. On the TRACER 4203, plan A corresponds to a TX center frequency of 5747 MHz and an RX center frequency of 5827 MHz. -
