MU will block the reception of the second MU since they are close to each other (can even occur when the MUs are on different channels). Time synchronization synchronizes the transmission and reception of all MUs, thus eliminating self- interference between them and allowing better frequency reuse. SM SYGNUS SHC USER´S MANUAL...

• Antenna height is the distance from the imaginary line connecting the antennas at the two sites to “ground” level. “Ground” level in an open area is the actual ground. In dense urban areas, “ground” level is the average height of the buildings between the antenna sites. SM SYGNUS SHC USER´S MANUAL...
The outdoor unit transmit power is configurable. The Link Manager limits the max transmit power according to the antenna gain, the regulation and the frequency band. The installer, if needed, can select a lower power. SM SYGNUS SHC USER´S MANUAL...
IMPORTANT! Antennas must be selected from a list of Star Microwave approved antennas. Please refer to Appendix C – FCC Approved Antennas. 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 outdoor unit must be sealed against rain with the rubber grommets. __________________________________________________________________________________ Note: All Units are factory sealed, seal needed only on Ethernet ports. Opening the unit will void the Sygnus SHC product warranty. SM SYGNUS SHC USER´S MANUAL...
