FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
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 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
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
this equipment.
For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be
operated. Selection of other channels is not possible.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This device is going to be operated in 5.15~5.25GHz frequency range, it is
restricted in indoor environment only.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC RADIATION EXPOSURE STATEMENT
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and
operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & your body.
IC STATEMENT :
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B conforme á la norme NMB-003 du
Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and
its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (e.i.r.p) is not more than that permitted for successful
communication.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below,
and having a maximum gain of 5 dB. Antennas not included in this list or
having a gain greater than 5 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this
device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence
of information to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not
intended to prohibit transmission of control or signaling information or the
use of repetitive codes where required by the technology.
The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce
potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the band 5725-5825
MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non
point-to-point operation as appropriate, as stated in section A9.2(3).
The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the bands 5250-5350
MHz and 5470-5725 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limit.
High-power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have
priority) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and these
radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
ADIATION EXPOSURE STATEMENT:
IC R
This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed
and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator & your
body.

1 INTRODUCTION
The EAP8518 is an IEEE 802.11n access point (AP) that meets draft 2.0
standards. It is fully interoperable with older 802.11a/b/g standards,
providing a transparent, wireless high speed data communication between
the wired LAN and fixed or mobile devices. The unit includes three
detachable dual-band 2.4/5 GHz antennas with the option to attach
alternative antennas that can extend or shape the network coverage area.
KEY HARDWARE FEATURES
The following table describes the main hardware features of the AP.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPABILITIES
The EAP8518 supports up to eight Virtual Access Point (VAP) interfaces,
which allow traffic to be separated for different user groups within the
same AP service area. The VAPs can support up to a total of 64 wireless
clients, whereby the clients associate with each VAP in the same way as
they would with physically separate access points. This means that each
VAP can be configured with its own Service Set Identification (SSID),
security settings, VLAN assignments, and other parameters, allowing the
AP to serve a diverse range of client needs in an area from a single unit.
In addition, the access point offers full network management capabilities
through an easy to configure web interface, a command line interface for
and LAN port status.

initial configuration and troubleshooting, and support for Simple Network
Management tools.
The EAP8518 utilises MIMO technology and Spatial Multiplexing to achieve
the highest possible data rate and throughput on the 802.11n frequency.
The unit’s PoE RJ-45 port provides a 1 Gbps full-duplex link to a wired LAN.
The EAP8518 package includes:
◆ 11n Access Point (EAP8518)
◆ RJ-45 to RS-232 console cable
◆ AC power adapter
◆ Four rubber feet
◆ User Guide CD

ANTENNAS The access point includes three integrated external MIMO (multiple-input

and multiple-output) antennas. MIMO uses multiple antennas for
transmitting and receiving radio signals to improve data throughput and
link range.
Each antenna transmits the outgoing signal as a toroidal sphere (doughnut
shaped), with the coverage extending most in a direction perpendicular to
the antenna. Therefore, the antennas should be adjusted to an angle that
provides the appropriate coverage for the service area.
The antennas supplied with the AP screw off in a clockwise manner and can
be replaced with alternative antennas that can extend or shape the
coverage area.
