Caution: The user or installer is responsible to ensure that the WS-AP3865e 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 Wireless
AP 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.
Caution: Please follow the instructions in this user guide to properly configure the WS-
AP3865e.
• Each Wireless AP is configured with a default group of settings. There is the ability to change
these settings. The user or installer is responsible to ensure that each WS-AP3865e is properly
configured.
• The software within the Wireless AP will automatically limit the allowable channels and output
power determined by the selected country code. Selecting the incorrect country of operation or
misidentifying the antenna being 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 WS-AP3865es.
• 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 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.
• In France, outdoor operation is not permitted using the 2.4 - 2.454 GHz band.
