1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The ADTRAN TRACER 5045 is a wireless Ethernet switch used to transport 10/100BaseT/TX data at
45 Mbps in point-to-point applications for up to 25 miles on a line-of-sight path. As authorized under Part
15.247 of the FCC Rules, the TRACER 5045 operates license-free in the 5.8 GHz Industrial, Scientific,
and Medical (ISM) band. The ISM band requires no frequency coordination or licensing of end users.
The TRACER 5045 provides four dual speed 10/100BaseT/TX interfaces that operate with both half- and
full-duplex capability. Backpressure flow control is provided for full-duplex communication. Each port is
802.3 and 802.3u compliant.
For configuration and testing, the TRACER 5045 can control the remote system through a separate mainte-
nance channel. Complete configuration and performance data is available through menus accessed using a
standard RS-232 terminal interface.
