Note: To better reflect the value of Wavion products we are changing the name of our
product family from Access Points (AP) to Wireless Base Stations (WBS), consequently the
existing WS-410 product name will be changed to Wavion WBS-2400.
The new product name emphasizes the difference in architecture (Multiple Radio system) and
the value to customer, superiority in performance (coverage, capacity, indoor penetration and
immunity to interference) of Wavion WiFi base station over any other standard outdoor WiFi
access point products available in the market.
All references in Wavion's documentation to WS-410 refer also to the WBS-2400, and vice
versa. Both products are exactly the same except for the name change.

    Risk of personal injury or death when installing this device! There is a risk of personal injury or death if the WBS-2400 antennas come near electric power lines. Carefully read and follow all instructions in this manual. By nature of the installation, you may be exposed to hazardous environments and high voltage.

  • Page 12: Preparing For Installation

    Preparing for Installation The Wavion WBS-2400 must be installed by a trained professional, or systems integrator who is familiar with RF planning issues and regulatory limits as defined by the governing body of the country in which the unit will be installed.

  • Page 13: Installation Hardware And Tools

    • It is recommend not to install the WBS-2400 near devices operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency range. • The WBS-2400 should be installed at the highest point of a metal pole such that there will be no interference caused by RF reflections. If this is not possible, the WBS-2400 should be installed at least 3 meters from the metal pole.

  • Page 14: Sun Shield

    Sun Shield To extend the Wavion WBS-2400 operating temperature range a sun shield plate might be used. The sun shield is available as an additional accessory from Wavion Networks. See Installation Accessories on page for details. The sun shield plate is installed with 6 screws (supplied with the sun shield) attaching it from the top at the special threaded screw holes.
