Wireless Access Point User Guide HotPoint 4500 Indoor Access Point HotPoint 4600 Outdoor Access Point ii Wireless Access Point User Guide This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presences of non-insulated dangerous voltage that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of lethal electric shock to per- sons. This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of im- portant operating, maintainance, and servicing instructions. Failing to comply with this instruction may result in electrical shock. This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of im- portant operating, maintainance, and servicing instructions. Failing to comply with this instruction may result in a hazard. Do not open the cover Dangerous voltages inside. No serviceable parts inside. Refer to qualified service personnel. Unit must be disconnected from power prior to servicing. Unit has tamper-evident labeling that indicates when the cover has been removed. • • • • • Safety Instructions The HotPoint node must be installed by a qualified professional. Failure to install this equipment properly may result in equipment dam- age, personal injury, or death. Explanation of Graphic Symbols Caution! Risk of electric shock! POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL Do not install the HotPort outdoor mesh node where possible contact with power lines can be made. Antennas, poles, towers, guy wires, or cables may lean or fall and contact these lines. People may be injured or killed if they are touching or holding any part of equipment when it contacts electric lines. Make sure there is NO possibility that equipment or personnel can come in contact directly or indirectly with power lines. ASSUME ALL OVERHEAD LINES ARE POWER LINES The horizontal distance from a tower, pole or antenna to the nearest power line should be at least twice the total length of the pole/antenna combina- tion. This will ensure that the pole will not contact power if it falls either during or after installation. SURVEYING THE SITE Look over the entire site before beginning any installation and anticipate possible hazards. Never assume anything without checking it out for your- self! Don’t take shortcuts! HotPoint Wireless Access Point iii TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND Select equipment locations that will allow safe and simple installation. Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident happens. Don’t attempt repair work when you are tired. Not only will you be more careless, but your primary diagnostic tool - deductive reasoning - will not be operating at full capacity. Use approved non-conducting ladders, shoes, and other safety equip- ment. Make sure all equipment is in good repair. If a tower or pole begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall. If anything such as a wire or pole does come in contact with a power line, DON’T TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. Instead, save your life by calling the power company. Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days. MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND POLES ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND ELEC- TRICAL CABLES CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS. This will help prevent fire damage or human injury in case of lightning, static build-up, or short circuit within equipment connected to the an- tenna. The HotPort outdoor node has built-in lightning protection. Be sure that any other equipment connected to the HotPort node also has the same level of protection. The base of the antenna pole or tower must be connected directly to the building protective ground or to one or more approved grounding rods, using 10 AWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors. Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details. • • • • • • • • • • IF AN ACCIDENT SHOULD OCCUR WITH THE POWER LINES DON’T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED. Use a non-conductive dry board, stick, or rope to push or drag them so they no longer are in contact with electrical power. Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are certified. Immediately have someone call for medical help. • • • • iv Wireless Access Point User Guide Firetide Limited End User Product Warranty Pursuant to all provisions described herein, Firetide products are warranted for one (1) year from the date of purchase against defects in the build materi- als and workmanship.

4600 Series Theory of Operation Principle The 4600 Series HotPoint Access Point is comprised of three printed circuit assemblies; a Mother Board, a Panel Board, and Radio Card. The Motherboard uses the Intel IXP425 as the central processing unit. Memory configuration is 32M bytes of FLASH and 64M bytes SDRAM. The Panel Board attaches to the front panel of the enclosure and provides the I/O interface to the end user via two weatherized connectors and also has a set of LED’s that indicate status of the HotPoint. The HotPoint AP supports 1 10/100 Base-TX LAN network interfaces using Admtek 6996L Ethernet switch. The interface to the LAN network is through an LTW weatherized connector. The radio card (Type III mini PCI module) plugs into the Motherboard. Communication to/from the Motherboard is made via a 128 pin mini PCI connector. The Radio Card runs from 3.3 volts, which is provided by the Motherboard. The 4600 series uses an Ubiquiti Networks’ SR2 radio card. The SR2 card is a full featured 802.11b/g client card. The Radio operates from 2412 MHz to 2462 MHz according to the IEEE 802.11b/g specification. The data rates supported are 1 Mbit (DBPSK), 2 Mbit (DQPSK), 5.5 Mbit (CCK), and 11 Mbit (CCK) for .11b and 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 54 MBit OFDM for .11g. The HotPoint AP uses 8 dBi omni directional diversity antennas.

(San Jose, CA). The model number of the radio module is SR2. The SR2 is Ubiquiti’s version of the 802.11b/g mini PCI card developed by Atheros Communications (Sunnyvale, CA). The radio card utilizes the Atheros AR5213 (MAC) and AR2112 (Radio) IC’s, which are designed to cover the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Firetide purchases the SR2 module from Ubiquiti as a tested and calibrated card. No tuning or programming of the SR2 card prior to final assembly is performed by Firetide. Tuning of the Hotport 4600 (output power and operating frequency) is done by using the HotView SW application provided with each unit. With Hotview, the end user can change the operating frequency to pre-set/pre-defined channels and can change (increase/decrease) the TX output power. The end user can only increase the power up to a factory set limit and not beyond. The factory set limit is based on the TX power levels measured during the FCC certification testing.

Page 32 of 52 Electromagnetic Compatibility Criteria for Intentional Radiators § 15.247(b) Peak Power Output and RF Exposure RF Exposure Requirements: §1.1307(b)(1) and §1.1307(b)(2): Systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that ensures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission’s guidelines. RF Radiation Exposure Limit: §1.1310: As specified in this section, the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Limit shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation as specified in Sec. 1.1307(b), except in the case of portable devices which shall be evaluated according to the provisions of Sec. 2.1093 of this chapter. MPE Limit Calculation: EUT’s operating frequencies @ 2400-2483.5 MHz ; highest conducted power = 26.21dBm (peak) therefore, Limit for Uncontrolled exposure: 1 mW/cm 2 or 10 W/m 2 EUT maximum antenna gain = 8 dBi. Equation from page 18 of OET 65, Edition 97-01 S = PG / 4πR 2 or R = √PG / 4πS where, S = Power Density (1 mW/cm 2 ) P = Power Input to antenna (471.8mW) G = Antenna Gain (6.3 numeric) S = (471.8*6.3/ 4*3.14*20 2 ) = (2973.24 / 5024) = 0.59 mW/cm 2
