TV WHITE SPACES
CONFIGURING RDL-3000 TO COMMUNICATE WITH FCC TVWS DATABASE
Before You Start:
You will need permanent TVWS option keys (Region 12/44) and tokens for each radio. The keys and tokens
●
are provided by the distributor you purchased the Redline equipment through.
Keys and tokens are tied to the radio's S/N or MAC address.
●
You will need to install the latest software. The software is provided by the distributor you purchased the
●
Redline equipment through.
To install radio software, you will need an FTP/TFTP server running on your computer. TFTP works fine for
●
local connections; however, FTP works better over live networks.
To run command lines on RDL-3000 TVWS radios you will need Telnet running on your computer, PuTTY or
●
Microsoft or equivalent.
Ensure the following TCP ports, 443 and 53 are open in your network for RDL-3000 TVWS radios to
●
communicate with the TVWS database.
The default DNS the RDL-3000 TVWS radios are using is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
●
IP plan needs to be determined for the base station (Ellipse) and subscriber radios (Enterprise RF) to
●
access the TVWS database.
Default Gateway needs to be configured on base station (Ellipse) and subscriber radios (Enterprise RF).
●
POWERFUL. VERSATILE. RELIABLE.
