Declarations of Conformity and Regulatory Information for Cisco Access Products with 802.11a/b/g and 802.11b/g Radios
78-16887-01
European Community, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein
Belgium
Outdoor usage is only allowed when operating in the 2.4-GHz band. The Belgian Institute for Postal
Services and Telecommunications (BIPT) needs to be notified of outdoor wireless links with a range in
excess of 300 meters. Check the following URL for more information:
http://www.bipt.be/langue.htm
Note Although Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein are not EU member states, the EU Directive
1999/5/EC has also been implemented in those countries.
Note The regulatory limits for maximum output power are specified in EIRP. The EIRP level of a device can
be calculated by adding the gain of the antenna used (specified in dBi) to the output power available at
the connector (specified in dBm).
Antennas
Cisco wireless access routers or AP HWICs can be shipped with dedicated antennas that are external to
the equipment. Table 5 and Table 6 list the antennas that were assessed together with the equipment
against the requirements of the R&TTE directive. Depending on the country, a different regulatory limit
might be applicable. It is therefore the responsibility of the end user to select a power level that, together
with the antenna, results in an EIRP (radiated power) level that is below the applicable limit.
Single-Band (2.4-GHz) Antennas
The maximum conducted power setting for each of the antennas and the applicable regulatory limits for
2.4-GHz only products are provided in Table 5. See the “National Restrictions” section on page 8 to
identify the regulatory limit in your country.
