WAB–3000 Wireless Access Point
Chapter 2: Hardware installation
Preparation for Use
The WAB–3000 Wireless Access Point requires physical mounting and
installation on the site, following a prescribed placement design to ensure
optimum operation and roaming.
FCC Regulations require that the WAB–3000 be professionally
installed by an installer certified by the National Association of Radio
and Telecommunications Engineers or equivalent institution.
The WAB–3000 operates with Power over Ethernet (PoE) which
requires the installation of a separate Power injector which "injects" DC
current into the Cat5 cable. There are two versions of the WAB–3000 avail-
able, the standard version with a temperature range of -5 degrees C to +50
degrees C, and there is the extended temperature range product with a
range of -30 degrees C to +70 degrees C. The latter version of the product
employs ThermoElectric Cooler (TEC) technology to extend the product
into the higher temperature environment.
The TEC Technology comes with a price, it requires power to transfer
the heat. Unfortunately, this raises the electric current requirement to 25
watts, beyond the 802.3af specification of 15.4 watts. To ensure that the
WAB–3000 with TEC option is provided with the power it requires, an
extended range PoE power injector is required such as the Model POE-1
or Hyperlink Technologies Model BT-CAT5-P1.
