OWS Field Installation
◗ Depending on the selected antenna(s) for your application, it may be necessary to configure the output
power of your OWS 2400 or OWS 3600 product. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the output
power is set correctly for the chosen antenna(s). To set the output power, go to Appendix I: Setting the
Output Power on page 32. Operation of the OWS 2400 or OWS 3600 in a manner other than as
represented here is a violation of FCC rules.
Maximum Power Settings for Antennas
The following are the maximum power settings for each antenna
1
type, based on wireless technology,
antenna type and channels:
Channels for IEEE 802.11b/g
* Listed power level settings are average power.
1. To comply with FCC standards for broadband emissions, a band pass filter is required
for 802.11g transmissions on channels 1 and 11 in the United States (RF Linx
Corporation part number 2400BPF-8-FB or equivalent), and for 802.11a transmissions
in the 5.725 - 5.850 GHz band when using the 23 dBi Patch Panel antenna in the United
States (K&L Microwave part number 6C50-5787.5/U120-n/n or equivalent). For
additional information, go to Appendix II: Installing the Band Pass Filter on page 33.
