More specific requirements are detailed in the remainder of this guide. Hardware / Firmware Requirements The SonicWALL SonicPoint-N Dual Radio security appliances are centrally managed and require a SonicWALL NSA E-Class appliance running SonicOS 5.6.3.1 or higher firmware to function properly. Note: For more information on deploying this SonicPoint with SonicWALL NSA series and TZ series platforms, contact your local SonicWALL sales representative for the supported SonicOS releases. Network Deployment Requirements •An active broadband Internet connection •At least one free network interface on the SonicWALL security appliance, configured with a zone type of “WLAN” •A single point placement or distributed wireless placement plan for your SonicPoint(s) •Wireless clients capable of 802.11n wireless communications 1 •A network infrastructure capable of sustaining 802.11n data rates to the number of clients you intend to support •An 802.3at compliant PoE injector or PoE-capable switch (if powering your deployment using PoE) Note: For more network deployment recommendations and tips, see the Hardware Decisions section, on page 9. 1. Although clients with 802.11a/b/g hardware are supported, the presence of these legacy clients within range of your network may affect the connection speed of your 802.11n clients.

FCC ID: QWU-081 Report No.: RF991224C08 Operational Description This device is an 802.11 a/b/g/n Access Point, which operates in both of the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands; the maximum data rate could be up to 300Mbps which OFDM technique. If the signal to noise radio is too poor which could not support 300Mbps, the 11Mbps data rate with DSSS technique will be applied. The transmitter of the EUT is powered by the POE and the AC Adapter. The antenna is Dipole antenna with R-TNC (2.4GHz) and R-SMA (5GHz) antenna connector. The other instruction, please have a look at the users manual. FCC 15.407(c) states: The device shall automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure. These provisions are not intended to preclude the transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes used by certain digital technologies to complete frame or burst intervals. Applicants shall include in their application for equipment authorization a description of how this requirement is met” Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is then pass down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets (ACKs, CTS, PSPoll, etc...) are initiated by the MAC. There are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets are being transmitted.
