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 generates, 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 different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Preface

Package Contents

The OWL630 is a rugged multi-mode, high-end dual radio 802.11 b/g/n + ac MIMO Access Point (AP), specifically designed for building municipal or campus wide wireless networks. There are two system modes that can be used for dual purposes. It can be deployed as a traditional multi-wireless Access Point (AP) or a Relay. The OWL630 access points make wireless communication fast, secure and easy.

The die-cast Aluminum sealed OWL630 is rust-free and IP68 compliant. It is high wind load resilient and is designed to operate in a wide range of temperature. Flexible deployment with a variety of antennas allows OWL630 to easily serve clients located in different directions as well as for coverage extension.

This handbook provides instructions for getting started with the OWL Access Point.
