Regulatory information
AP2610 Internal Antenna AP, AP2620 External Antenna AP
The AP2610 and AP2620 wireless access points require the end user or
●
installer to ensure that they have a valid license prior to operating the AP26XX.
The license contains the region and the region exposes the country codes which
allow for proper configuration in conformance with European National spectrum
usage laws.
There is a default group of settings that each AP26XX receives when it connects
●
to the controller. There is the ability to change these settings. The user or
installer is responsible to ensure that each wireless AP is properly configured.
The software within the controller will automatically limit the allowable channels
●
and output power determined by the current country code entered. Incorrectly
entering the country of operation or identifying the proper antenna used, may
result in illegal operation and may cause harmful interference to other systems.
This device employs a radar detection feature required for European
●
Community operation in the 5 GHz band. This feature is automatically enabled
when the country of operation is correctly configured for any European
Community country. The presence of nearby radar operation may result in
temporary interruption of operation of this device. The radar detection feature
will automatically restart operation on a channel free of radar.
The 5 GHz Turbo Mode feature is not enabled for use on the AP2610 and
●
AP2620 access points.
The AutoChannelSelect/SmartSelect setting of the 5 GHz described in this user
●
guide must always remain enabled to ensure that automatic 5 GHz channel
selection complies with European requirements.
The 5150- 5350 MHz band, channels 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, or 64, are
●
restricted to indoor use only.
The AP2620 with external antenna must be used only with the factory installed
●
antennas, which are certified by Siemens.
The 2.4 GHz band, channels 1 - 13, may be used for indoor or outdoor use but
●
there may be some channel restrictions.
In Italy, the end user must apply for a license from the national spectrum
●
authority to operate outdoors.

●
