1.2 Warnings and Hazards
WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK
Opening the AEON-9030 could result in electric shock and may
cause severe injury.
WARNING! EXPOSURE TO RF
Working with the repeater while in operation, may expose the
technician to RF electromagnetic fields that exceed FCC rules for
human exposure. Visit the FCC website at
to learn more about the effects of exposure to RF electromagnetic
fields.
www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety
WARNING! DAMAGE TO REPEATER
Operating the AEON-9030 with antennas in very close proximity
facing each other could lead to severe damage to the repeater.
RF EXPOSURE & ANTENNA PLACEMENT Guidelines
Actual separation distance is determined upon gain of antenna used.
Please maintain a minimum safe distance of at least 50 cm while operating near the
donor and the server antennas. Also, the donor antenna needs to be mounted
outdoors on a permanent structure.

WARRANTY
Opening or tampering the AEON-9030 will void all warranties.
Lithium Battery: CAUTION. REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY WITH THE INCORRECT TYPE
MAY LEAD TO A RISK OF EXPLOSION. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO
INSTRUCTIONS.
Ethernet Instructions: This equipment is for indoor use only. All cabling should be
limited to inside the building.
FCC Part 15 Class A
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at their own expense.

2.1.4 Ethernet Port
Figure 11 shows the Ethernet port which is used to interface with the unit via
RJ-45 crossover cable. Verify that the Host/Remote switch is set to Host and
set your network adapter to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically” and the
repeater will assign an IP Address via DHCP. The Host/Remote switch
should only be set to Remote when an external modem box is being used to
monitor the unit.

2.1.5 Modem Module
Figure 12 shows the Modem Module that is used to remotely interface with
the unit via modem. The modem will allow for remote configuration and
monitoring via SNMP.
