Pole-Top Installation Requirements

The installation steps in this manual (see the
mounting and installation locations, usually at the top of a power or other utility pole, have the following
connections available for basic router installation:

Environmental Requirements

The location of your router is an important consideration for proper operation. Equipment placed too
close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause malfunctions and shutdowns,
and can make maintenance difficult. Plan for access to both power supply side and cable side panels of
the router.
If you are currently experiencing shutdowns or an unusually high number of errors with your existing
equipment, these precautions and recommendations may help you isolate the cause of failure and prevent
future problems.

FCC Safety Compliance Statements

The FCC, with its action in ET Docket 9608, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with approved Cisco antennas,
Cisco products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991.
Proper operation of this radio device according to the instructions in this publication results in user
exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
The antenna(s) used for this device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm
from all persons (see Warning Statement 322 in the
located with or operating in conjunction with the following devices only:
1.
2.
In order to ensure RF exposure compliance, installers must be provided with antenna installation and
transmitter operating conditions described in this document and in the antenna installation
documentation.

Ensure that the chassis door closes securely and that all empty module slots and have filler panels
installed.
When other equipment is installed on or connected to the router, try operating the router by itself, if
possible. Power off other equipment (such as USB devices and installed third-party modules) to
allow the router under test a maximum of cooling air and clean power.
Two or more modular transmitters with FCC ID: N7NMC8705, only one (1) of which may transmit
simultaneously with other transmitters types.
