The ioLink 4 provides four full-duplex Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) devices for T1/E1 rate
wireless communications between two line of sight (LOS) locations. It can be connected to many types of
interfaces to meet various communication needs. The technologies incorporated in the ioLink 4 give you
an efficient, minimal interference, error-resistant link compare to other services, and a superior carrier-to-
interference (C/I) performance ratio.
1.1 Key Features and Benefits
The ioLink 4 system provides many important features and benefits:
•Offers quick turnaround on investment and savings versus recurring leased line charges
•Does not require user licensing (complies with FCC regulation Part 15)
•Provides clear and robust communications over a range of distances
•Is capable of voice, video, and data transmissions
•Operates in the precertified 2.4 −2.4835 GHz and 5.725 −5.850 GHz ranges which are virtually
immune to atmospheric interference such as rain or snow
•Provides four full duplex T1 (1.544 Mbps) or E1 (2.048 Mbps) capacity with DSX-1 or G.703
interfaces, respectively
•Provides forward error correction (FEC) rate-½for E1 and rate- ¾for T1 for advance
warning of potential errors in communication, and alerts the user of changes in the environment
that may not have been present during installation which could impact the transmission path
•Is fully compliant with the simple network management protocol (SNMP)
•Provides configuration management via the front panel or a Personal Computer.

One communications link consists of one ioLink 4 terminal (RF Unit, Modem Unit, Antenna, and Cables)
installed at each end of the line-of-sight link. The ioLink4 link provides four E1 or T1 connections.
1.2 Advanced Features
The ioLink 4 system includes several unique features:
•Performance monitoring
•Diagnostic testing
•Ability to place multiple links in the same area without interference.
These advanced features allow the user to keep the link up and running with little effort while giving the
user a powerful set of diagnostics and statistics to detect or troubleshoot potential problems.
1.2.1 Performance Monitoring
Performance monitoring is an important quality control tool. The various statistics the user can obtain
from the front panel menus or via a PC can inform how the system is performing. Even though the link is
functioning properly, the ability to keep track of link performance allows the user to see changes in the
link, which may degrade communications over time.
The ioLink 4 wireless system is fully compliant with the simple network management protocol (SNMP)
and provides the user with a performance monitoring system. The system allows the user or system
