of the connection by transmitting and receiving via the antenna that
provides the best contact to the client.
Antennas are only to be attached or changed when the device is
switched off. Mounting or demounting antennas while the device
switched on may cause the destruction of the WLAN module!
When assembling separately purchased mobile radio antennas please
note that the maximum allowed transmission power of the wireless
LAN according to EIRP in the country in question may not be
exceeded. The system operator is responsible for adhering to the
threshold values.
The employment of the AirLancer Extender SA-5L for internal
lightning protection is essential under all circumstances—the
AirLancer Extender SA-5L is always mounted between the Access
Point and the antenna, preferably as near as possible to the antenna.
Unused connectors should be fitted with the terminators as supplied.
This prevents stray signals from one WLAN module from interfering
with the other WLAN module.
If the device is operated inside a switching cabinet, please take the
attenuation caused by the cabinet itself into consideration when
selecting the antenna to be used. For applications of this type, we
recommend the use of an external antenna. For further information
on external antennas and their mountings, please refer to ’ Options
and accessories’ → page 74.
LAN – You can first connect the access point to your LAN. For that
purpose, plug the included network cable (green plugs) into the LAN
connector of the device or and the other end into a free network
connecting socket of your local network (resp. into a free socket of a hub/
switch). Alternatively, you can connect also a single PC.
The LAN connector identifies automatically the transfer rate (10/100 Mbp)
of the connected network device (autosensing).

over-Ethernet – elegant power supply through the LAN wiring’
