WBSn-2400 Quick Start Guide Page 4
Additional equipment and tools required for installation
• Ethernet cable (outdoor CAT5e 4-pair data cable, with RJ45 connectors)
Note: Maximum cable length -- 100 meters
• Ground cable
• Portable PC
• Lightning protection
• 1”-6” diameter pole (on which to mount the unit)
Ensure a safe and secure environment
Warning
Connect the PoE injector to the unit using only a straight Ethernet cable.
Do not use crossed cables between the PoE injector and the unit!
Follow these guidelines to
ensure safe operation of the
WBSn-2400 base station:
• Do not touch or move the antennas while the unit is transmitting or
receiving.
• Make sure the antennas are connected when operating the radio or
attempting to transmit data, otherwise, the radio may be damaged.
• Do not hold the antenna close to or touching any exposed parts of the
body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
• The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA). (US only)
• The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited to the
constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.
• The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth
by each hospital.
• Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in
an explosive environment.
• The Wavion WBSn-2400 must be used only with Wavion-approved
components and antennas.
Note:
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety
standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. Proper
operation of the Wavion WBSn-2400 according to the instructions found in this manual, results in user
exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
To ensure optimal performance, select the location for the equipment using the following
guidelines:
• The antenna should be directed towards the area intended to be covered, with maximum possible lines
of sight for client locations. Generally speaking, the higher the placement of the antenna, the better the
link quality achievable. For WBSn-2400-S, the coverage zone is 120° wide.
• The location of the unit should enable easy access for installation and testing.
• When installing in locations where other devices exist that operate in the same frequency range, ensure
that recommended distances are adhered to.
• The ideal height at which a base station should be installed is 2 meters above the rooftops of the
buildings within the coverage zone.
• The omni-directional unit should be installed at the highest point of a metal pole. This is to ensure that
there is no interference caused by the close proximity of the unit to the metal. Where this is not
possible, the unit should be kept at least 1 meter from the metal pole.
• Keeping the maximum distance possible from an RF radiating source is recommended.
