ProSoft Wireless Designer uses the site coordinates to calculate the precise
distance between sites.
ƒ Location: Select (check) this check box to use the site lat/long coordinates to
determine site location and link distance(s).
ƒ EIRP: Equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is effective power that is
radiated from the antenna. It is the net result of the radio transmit power plus
antenna gain minus all losses from cables and lightning protection. This value
is calculated based on the hardware specified for this site.
ƒ Cable/Antenna gain: This is the amount of antenna gain minus all losses
from cables and lightning protection. This value is calculated based on the
hardware specified for this site.
ƒ Max EIRP: This is the maximum EIRP value allowed for the particular region
and configuration selected. If your configuration exceeds the maximum
allowable EIRP, a message box will open, and the color of the EIRP text
changes to red.
ƒ Antenna: This is the part number for the specified antenna. Click this button
to open the Antenna Selection dialog box.
ƒ Extension cable: This is the part number for the specified extension cable.
Click this button to open the Cable Selection (page 31) dialog box.

cable. Click this button to open the Cable Selection (page 31) dialog box.
ƒ Additional Loss [dB]: Enter an amount of miscellaneous loss for any
components that might not be included.
ƒ Distance to antenna: Enter the distance in feet or meters between the radio
and the antenna.
ƒ Radio: The part number for the specified radio. Click this button open the
Radio Selection dialog box (page 33). Note that the radio type is selected for
you automatically, based on your answers to the setup wizard. If you change
the radio type to a radio that is not compatible with the rest of the site, the
new radio will not be able to communicate with the network.
ƒ Power level: Choose the transmit power level for this radio from the
dropdown list.
ƒ Frequency range: The frequency range in MHz for the specified radio.
ƒ Antenna Port Use: This dropdown box is used to switch between the single
antenna site properties dialog and the two antenna site properties dialog.
