Conditions of use in the European community
The Altitude APs with internal and external antennas are designed and intended to be used indoors.
Some EU countries allow outdoor operation with limitations and restrictions, which are described in
this section. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure operation in accordance with these rules,
frequencies, and transmitter power output. The Altitude AP must not be operated until properly
configured for the customer's geographic location.
CAUTION
The user or installer is responsible to ensure that the Altitude AP is operated according to channel limitations,
indoor / outdoor restrictions, license requirements, and within power level limits for the current country of operation.
A configuration utility has been provided with the Summit WM Controller to allow the end user to check the
configuration and make necessary configuration changes to ensure proper operation in accordance with the spectrum
usage rules for compliance with the European R&TTE directive 1999/5/EC.
The Altitude APs with internal and external antennas are designed to be operated only indoors within all countries of
the European Community. Some countries require limited channels of operation. These restrictions are described in
this section.
CAUTION
The Altitude AP is completely configured and managed by the Summit WM Controller connected to the network.
Please follow the instructions in this user guide to properly configure the Altitude APs.
- The Altitude APs require the end user or installer to ensure that they have a valid license prior to operating the
Altitude AP. 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 Altitude AP 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 Altitude AP is properly
configured.
- The software within the controller will automatically limit the allowable channels and output power determined by
the selected country code. Selecting the incorrect 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 Altitude APs.
- The Auto channel 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 external antenna APs must only use the antennas that are certified by Extreme Networks.
- The 2.4 GHz band, channels 1 - 13, may be used for indoor or outdoor use but there may be some channel
restrictions.
- In Greece and Italy, the end user must apply for a license from the national spectrum authority to operate
outdoors.
