1 - INTRODUCTION The Luxul Wireless Pro-WAV Wi-Fi Range Extender System is designed to complement and enhance the performance of the Netgear WG103 Wireless Access Point (WAP). When combined with the WG103 and X-WAV XW-24-FP7 Flat Panel Antenna, it delivers up to the maximum approved transmit power, resulting in a farther reaching and higher performing network.
SHOCK-WAV SIGNAL BOOSTER USER GUIDE • Verify that the power connector and socket are accessible at all times during the operation of the equipment. • Do not work with power circuits in dimly lit spaces. • Do not install this equipment or work with its power circuits during thunderstorms or other weather conditions that could cause a power surge. • Verify there is adequate ventilation around the device, and that ambient temperatures meet equipment operation specifications.

SHOCK-WAV SIGNAL BOOSTER USER GUIDE 3 - GETTING STARTED 3.1 Precautions Before installing the Shock-WAV Wi-Fi Signal Booster and WG103 verify the following: • Do not install in wet or dusty areas without additional protection. Contact a Luxul Wireless representative for more information. • Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between -4 F to +122F (-20c - +50c). 3.
3.3 Additional Items Required Before installing your Shock-WAV Wi-Fi Signal Booster, be sure to have the following items available: • Ethernet cable for connection to your network source 3.4 Optional Products and Accessories Splitters and Surge Protectors: Signal splitters, lightning surge protectors, and other useful accessories are available for making the most of your Luxul Wireless purchase.
SHOCK-WAV SIGNAL BOOSTER USER GUIDE 4.1 Connecting the PW-FC2 - Single Antenna to the Netgear WG103 1 Figure 2 5 2 3 4 Coax Cable Using the supplied N-Male to RP-SMA-Male coax cable, connect the Shock-WAV Wi-Fi Signal Booster to your WG103’s Antenna port . (Figure 2 ) 1. Be sure to connect the cable to the side of the Signal Booster labeled WAP 2. Next use the included N-Male to N-Male cable 3 connect the Shock-WAV Wi-Fi Signal Booster to the X-WAV XW-24-FP7 antenna 5.
4.3 Connecting Direct Power and Data Source cables 2 1 Power Supply Coax Cable Ethernet 3 Power Data Source Power Figure 4 Power connections are the same for both PW-FC2 units. The PW-FC2 - Single antenna is show in figure 4. Connect your Data source Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the back of the Netgear WG103, (Figure 4) 1. Connect the Netgear Power supply the power port on the back of the WG103 2. Connect the 48V AC-DC power supply to the Signal Booster port labeled, 12-48V DC IN 3.
SHOCK-WAV SIGNAL BOOSTER USER GUIDE Connect your Ethernet cable from your POE/Data Source to the “POE IN” port of the Wi-Fi Signal Booster (Figure 5) 1. Connect the included Ethernet cable from the “POE OUT” (Figure 5) 2 of the Wi-Fi Signal Booster to the “10/100M” port of your Netgear AP (Figure 5) 3, (See AP’s documentation). Be sure all cables are connected securely and power up your POE injector. You may now power your POE injector. (Consult your Netgear Documentation for more information on the WG103).
Figure 7 5.2 Antenna Direction For maximum coverage it is important to have your antenna pattern radiating in the correct direction. The pattern radiates out in a cone shape pattern away from the antenna. If the antenna is tipped at an angle, the pattern will radiate out at that angle. See Figure 8 for an example of pattern radiation.
SHOCK-WAV SIGNAL BOOSTER USER GUIDE 6 - REGULATORY COMPLIANCE This device is approved under the Luxul Wireless brand and designed to comply for use specifically with the Netgear WG103. This device is designed to be compliant with rules and regulations in locations where they are sold and will be labeled as required. Any changes or modifications to Luxul equipment, not expressly approved by Luxul, could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Warning: Exposure To Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation: • The radiated output of this device is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. • The end user must avoid any extended human RF exposure directly in front of the Model PW-FC2, up to a distance of 20cm, when unit is switched on.
SHOCK-WAV SIGNAL BOOSTER USER GUIDE • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 6.4 Radio Transmitters (Part 15) This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Results may vary depending on building layout, type of construction and other environmental factors including Wi-Fi traffic, Microwaves Ovens, Cordless Phones, etc. FCC NOTICE: The use of all radio equipment is subject to regulations in each country. To comply with FCC part 15 rules in the United States, radio equipment must only be used in systems that have been FCC certified. It is the responsibility of the user/professional installer/operator to ensure that only approved equipment/systems are deployed.
