Outdoor Operating Restrictions

United States and Canada

2.4 GHz Band

IEEE 802.11b/g operation in the 2.400 to 2.4835 GHz ISM band is governed by FCC Part 15, Subparts B & C
in the US and IC RSS-210 in Canada. These rules state that the parameters for both indoor and outdoor
operation in this frequency band are identical.

5.0 GHz Bands

IEEE 802.11a operation in the following frequency bands, is governed by FCC Part 15, Subparts B & C and
FCC Part 15, Subpart E for the US and IC RSS-210, Issue 6 in Canada. There are restrictions of use in the
5.0 GHz frequency bands and they are outlined below:
5150 to 5250 MHz:
5250 to 5350 MHz:
5470 to 5725 MHz:
5725 to 5825 MHz:
5725 to 5875 MHz:
The software settings that govern the operating parameters of the 2330A and 2330B access points have been
constructed to prohibit operation in the 5150 to 5250 MHz band when either "outdoor" mode or an "outdoor
antenna configuration" is selected. Please refer to the External Antenna Selection Guide for a complete listing
of the indoor and outdoor antennas.
In addition, the 2330B access point has been prohibited, via software, from operating in the 5250 to 5350 MHz
and 5470 to 5725 MHz frequency bands because it cannot meet the DFS requirements as outlined in the rules
of the FCC for Part 15, Subpart E that come into force on July 20, 2007.
The 2330A access point will not be marketed or sold in the US and Canada after July 20, 2007 because it is not
compliant with the FCC Part 15, Subpart E rules.

IEEE 802.11b/g operation in the 2400 to 2483.5 MHz WLAN band is governed by ETSI EN 300-328 v1.7.1.
These rules state that the parameters for both indoor and outdoor operation in this frequency band are identical
in all member states, except those listed below:
