Outdoor Operating Restrictions - Avaya WLAN 8100 series Handbuch

Outdoor operating restrictions

The following section describes the outdoor operating restrictions for the 8120-0 access
point.
United States and Canada
2.4 GHz Band
IEEE 802.11b/g operation in the 2.400 to 2.4835 GHz ISM band is governed by FCC Part 15,
Subparts B & C in the US and IC RSS-210 in Canada. These rules state that the parameters
for both indoor and outdoor operation in this frequency band are identical.
5.0 GHz Bands
IEEE 802.11a operation in the following frequency bands, is governed by FCC Part 15,
Subparts B & C and FCC Part 15, Subpart E for the US and IC RSS-210, Issue 6 in Canada.
There are restrictions of use in the 5.0 GHz frequency bands and they are outlined below:
Table 1: Restrictions of use in 5.0 GHz frequency bands
5150 to 5250 MHz:
5250 to 5350 MHz:
5470 to 5725 MHz:
5725 to 5825 MHz:
5725 to 5875 MHz:
The software settings that govern the operating parameters of the 8120-O access point have
been constructed to prohibit operation in the 5150 to 5250 MHz band when either "outdoor"
mode or an "outdoor antenna configuration" is selected.
In addition, the 8120-O Access Point has been prohibited, via software, from operating in the
5250 to 5350 MHz and 5470 to 5725 MHz frequency bands because it cannot meet the DFS
requirements as outlined in the rules of the FCC for Part 15, Subpart E that come into force
on July 20, 2007.
European Union (EU) and European Fair Trade Association (EFTA)
2.4 GHz Band
IEEE 802.11b/g operation in the 2400 to 2483.5 MHz WLAN band is governed by ETSI EN
300-328 v1.7.1. These rules state that the parameters for both indoor and outdoor operation
in this frequency band are identical in all member states, except those listed below:
