Power Requirements; Safety Information - 3Com WL-455 User Manual

P R
OWER EQUIREMENTS
The access point complies with the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet standard. It
receives power over standard category 5 straight (8-wire) Ethernet cable. Installation
requires the use of either the 3Com AC adapter or IEEE 802.3af compliant power
supply equipment (output power rated 48 V dc @ 350 mA maximum). Such
equipment must be safety certified according to UL, CSA, IEC or other applicable
national or international safety requirements for the country of use. All references to
the AC adapter in this document refer to equipment that meets these requirements.
Because the AC adapter plug is the only means of disconnecting the access point from
power, make sure the power outlet is accessible.
See "Using the Included AC Adapter" on page 15 and "Using a Power-Over-Ethernet
LAN Port" on page 17.
Note: For use of the 3Com AC adapter (part number 61-0107-000) in Norway: This
product is also designed for use on an IT power system with phase-to-phase voltage of
230 V.

AFETY NFORMATION
This equipment must be installed in compliance with local and national building codes,
regulatory restrictions, and FCC rules. For the safety of people and equipment, only
professional network personnel should install the access point, cables, and antennas.
CAUTION: If you supply your own Ethernet cable for connecting power, be sure that it is
!
category 5 straight-through (8-wire) cable that has not been altered in any way. Use of
nonstandard cable could damage the access point.
CAUTION: To comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, a minimum
!
body-to-antenna distance of 1 meter (3 feet) must be maintained when the access point
is operational.
CAUTION: To avoid possible injury or damage to equipment, you must use either the provided
!
power supply or IEEE 802.3af compliant power supply equipment that is safety certified
according to UL, CSA, IEC, or other applicable national or international safety requirements
for the country of use. All references to power supply in this document refer to equipment
meeting these requirements.
operating systems: Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6,
Windows 2000, or Windows XP. It is recommended that this computer become the
dedicated workstation for managing and configuring the access point and the
wireless network.
