WAB–2000 Wireless Access Point
The bridge antenna port is used when configuring the unit to be used
as a bridge. The port uses an omni-directional antenna.
The WAB–2000 can be mounted outdoors on a high post to achieve
the best bridge result. If mounted outdoors, the outdoor protection kit
must be used to prevent lightning damage.
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the
antennas used with the WAB–2000 must be installed with a mini-
mum separation distance of 20 cm from all persons, and must
not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. Installation should be accomplished using the authorized
cables and/or connectors provided with the device or available from the
manufacturer/distributor for use with this device. Changes or modifica-
tions not expressly approved by the manufacturer or party responsible for
this FCC compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equip-
ment.
