All products using external antennas must be professionally installed, and the transmit power of the system must be adjusted by the professional installer/s to ensure that the system’s EIRP (Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power) is in compliance with the limit specified by the regulatory authority of the country of deployment.

During deployment of the system and its initial setup, professional installer must ensure that the allowed EIRP limit is not exceeded (in the Country of exploitation of this equipment). To achieve this, the professional installer must use the approved/recommended antennas by the manufacturer (dell.com). The professional installer must enter the antenna gain in Controller software by selecting the AP from the Access Point tab, click edit, click more, select External Antenna tab and enter the antenna gain values. Additional attenuation between the device and antenna may have to be measured or calculated.

The following formula can be used to calculate the EIRP limit related RF power based on selected antennas (antenna gain) and feeder (Coaxial Cable loss):

EIRP = Tx RF Power (dBm) +GA (dB) - FL (dB)
