WAB–2000
Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
Preparation for Use
The WAB–2000 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–2000 be professionally installed by an installer
certified by the National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers or equivalent
institution.
The WAB–2000 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–2000 available, 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 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–2000 with TEC option is provided with the power it requires, an extended range PoE power
injector enclosed within the package is required.
