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.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate this equipment.

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.

This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other
channels is not possible.

This device is restricted to indoor use when operated in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range.
※ FCC requires this product to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the

potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:

Preface

Package Contents

The Edgecore ECW100 Enterprise In-Wall Access
Point is a dual radio Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11b/g/n +

a/n/ac 2 X 2 MIMO access point. With a simplistic
yet sleek design, it can easily blend into any working
or living environment.

The compact ECW100 lays snug in a standard wall
outlet box. Its front panel features power and LAN
LED status indicators, one RJ45 LAN port, and one
RJ11 pass-through port. With both Wi-Fi and
Ethernet interfaces, it can provide wireless access
and wired LAN access simultaneously. The RJ11
ports can be used for phone connection without the
need for additional outlets.

When ECW100 coupled with the Edgecore
Controller, the ECW100 supports tunnel-based AP
management and meets all the standards
demanded in enterprise applications, including
business-grade security (802.1X, WPA and WPA2).
Multiple ESSIDs with VLAN tags can also be
configured for traffic control. In addition, it features
centralized WLAN management, which allows the
enterprises and organizations to support a wide
array of value-added applications, such as load
balancing, bandwidth control, and access control.

ECW100’s high performance, security and optimal
invisibility make it a perfect choice of wireless
connectivity for your business.
