PacketWave manuals represent special kinds of text as follows:
• Files names and URLs are represented in italics, with variables described inside
angle brackets. For example, if the URL
http://<IP address>/bsu.htm
is refer-
enced, you will replace the variable
<IP address>
with the appropriate real IP
address.
• Management interface text is represented by a bold font: for example, the
Generate Config File
button.
• Labels on equipment are represented in a bold sans serif font: for example, the
Control
connector.
WARNING:
This format is used to indicate the possibility of personal injury
or serious damage to equipment.
CAUTION:
This format is used to indicate the possibility of system or equip-
ment operation problems.
Items of special importance will be formatted and marked by a pointing-hand
icon, as this paragraph is.

This manual is intended for system designers and planners, base station installers,
system operators, and others requiring or desiring information about the PacketWave
System. It provides information specific to the PacketWave system, but cannot and
should not be considered a tutorial on relevant technologies and practices.
It is expected that system designers and planners are knowledgeable about radio
communications, cellular communication systems, and IP networks. Tutorials on
these subjects are beyond the scope of this manual, and are readily available in pub-
lished and on-line materials.
Installation of radio equipment involves numerous factors, such as lightning and
weather protection, requiring considerable expertise. It is assumed that equipment
installers are professionals with knowledge of the principles and standard practices
and procedures of cell site installation, with all relevant safety requirements, and with
applicable local building codes.
