This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment gener ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit diffe rent from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help. Modifi cations: Any modifi cations made to this device that are not approved by Firetide, Inc. may void the authority granted to the user by the FCC to operate this equipment. FCC Radiation Exposure Statement The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. OEM Integrators, end-users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. 3 HotPoint 1000S Wireless Mesh RouterInstant Networking GuideContentsUnpacking and Easy Installation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Now you can instantly add Ethernet ports wherever you want, especially in areas where cabling is too costly or time consuming to install. Multiple HotPoint units automatically fi nd each other via wireless links allowing you to create and extend a high performance wireless mesh network. The network is very adaptable, allowing you to change the network confi guration in real-time. The HotPoint 1000S acts as a portable Ethernet switch that you can place anywhere you want simply by plugging the unit into a standard power outlet. Each HotPoint Wireless Mesh router has three RJ-45 Ethernet ports, allowing you to attach up to three Ethernet devices, such as a wireless access point, computer, printer server, Internet uplink, or network video camera.Firetide Wireless Instant NetworkFiretide developed the Wireless Instant Network, based on the HotPoint Wireless Mesh Router, to enable faster, easier, and more af-fordable network deployment. Firetide’s patented mesh networking technology makes it possible to survey, plan and deploy an entire net-work in less than one day rather than weeks. The Firetide network is also completely portable. Your entire network can be relocated simply by taking your HotPoint routers with you to your new location. 5 What is a Firetide Mesh Network?Firetide mesh networks feature a self-confi guring, self-healing, multi-hop topology. Because of these inherent self-organizing properties, a mesh network requires no manual confi guration. Thus, creating a new network or adding or relocating network equipment is as easy as powering up new nodes. The network automatically discovers the new nodes and integrates them into the mesh. A big advantage of a mesh network is its robustness and ability to heal itself. If a node is disconnected, congested, or fails to operate, neighboring nodes are notifi ed, and data is routed around it. There is no need for a network engineer to intervene, troubleshoot, and cure the problem. Mesh networking can be compared to the Internet, where data can be rerouted on other paths if one path becomes disabled or congested. Losing a node or two or a link won’t bring down the entire mesh network. Unlike other WLAN technologies, a mesh network’s …
