3e-525A–3 Wireless Access Point
Chapter 2: Hardware installation
Preparation for Use
The 3e Technologies International's 3e–525A–3 Wireless Access Point
requires physical mounting and installation on the site, following a pre-
scribed placement design to ensure optimum operation and roaming.
FCC Regulations require that the 3e–525A–3 be professionally
installed by an installer certified by the National Association of Radio
and Telecommunications Engineers or equivalent institution.
The 3e–525A–3 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 525A–3 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 trans-
fer 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 525A–3 with TEC option is provided with the power it requires, an
extended range PoE power injector is required such as the 3eTI Model 3e-
POE-1 or Hyperlink Technologies Model BT-CAT5-P1.
