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

Warnings: 1.Wear an anti-static wrist strap or take other suitable measures to prevent

2.When connecting this device to a power outlet, connect the field ground

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 a minimum distance
of 20 centimeters (8 inches) between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

lead on the tri-pole power plug to a valid earth ground line to prevent
electrical hazards.

Wireless 5 GHz Band Statement:

As the access point can operate in the 5150-5250 MHz frequency band it is limited by the
FCC, Industry Canada and some other countries to indoor use only so as to reduce the
potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.

High power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the
5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz bands. These radars could cause interference and/
or damage to the access point.

Chapter 1: Introduction

The Dual-band Outdoor Access Point / Bridge system provides point-to-point or
point-to-multipoint bridge links between remote Ethernet LANs, and wireless access
point services for clients in the local LAN area.

• OAP6626A – Includes an integrated high-gain antenna for the 802.11a radio and

can be configured to operate as a “Master” or “Slave” bridge in point-to-multipoint

configurations, or provide a high-speed point-to-point wireless link between two

sites that can be up to 15.4 km (9.6 miles) apart. Up to two 5 GHz and two 2.4 GHz

antennas con be connected to the uinit. The 802.11b/g radio requires an external

antenna option. It supports wireless bridge connections to as many as 16

OAP6626A units configured as slaves.

The unit is housed in a weatherproof enclosure for mounting outdoors and includes
its own brackets for attaching to a wall, pole, radio mast, or tower structure. It is
powered through its Ethernet cable connection from a power injector module that is
installed indoors.

The wireless bridge system offers a fast, reliable, and cost-effective solution for
connectivity between remote Ethernet wired LANs or to provide Internet access to
an isolated site. The system is also easy to install and operate, ideal for situations
where a wired link may be difficult or expensive to deploy. The wireless bridge
connection provides data rates of up to 108 Mbps.

In addition, both wireless bridge models offer full network management capabilities
through an easy-to-use web interface, a command-line interface, and support for
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) tools.

Radio Characteristics – The IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g standards use a radio
modulation technique known as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM), and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). The 802.11a standard operates
in the 5 GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) band, and the

802.11g standard in the 2.4 GHz band.

IEEE 802.11g includes backward compatibility with the IEEE 802.11b standard.
IEEE 802.11b also operates at 2.4 GHz, but uses Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code Keying (CCK) modulation technology
to achieve a communication rate of up to 11 Mbps.

The wireless bridge provides a 54 Mbps half-duplex connection for each active
channel (up to 108 Mbps in turbo mode on the 802.11a interface).

Integrated High-Gain Antenna

The OAP6626A wireless bridge includes an integrated high-gain (17 dBi) flat-panel
antenna for 5 GHz operation. The antenna can provide a direct line-of-sight link up
to 15.4 km (9.6 miles) with a 6 Mbps data rate.

External Antenna Options

The unit provides various external antenna options for both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz
operation. In a point-to-multipoint configuration, an external high-gain
omnidirectional, sector, or high-gain panel antenna can be attached to communicate
with bridges spread over a wide area. The following table summarizes the external
antenna options:

Ethernet Port

The wireless bridge has one 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX 8-pin DIN port that connects
to the power injector module using the included Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port
connection provides power to the wireless bridge as well as a data link to the local
network.

The wireless bridge appears as an Ethernet node and performs a bridging function
by moving packets from the wired LAN to the remote end of the wireless bridge link.

Note: The power injector module does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) based on

the IEEE 802.3af standard. The wireless bridge unit must always be powered on
by being connected to the power injector module.

Power Injector Module

The wireless bridge receives power through its network cable connection using
power-over-Ethernet technology. A power injector module is included in the wireless
bridge package and provides two RJ-45 Ethernet ports, one for connecting to the
wireless bridge (Output), and the other for connecting to a local LAN switch (Input).

The Input port uses an MDI (i.e., internal straight-through) pin configuration. You can
therefore use straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect this port to most network
interconnection devices such as a switch or router that provide MDI-X ports.
However, when connecting the access point to a workstation or other device that
does not have MDI-X ports, you must use crossover twisted-pair cable.

(Hidden)

The wireless bridge does not have a power switch. It is powered on when its
Ethernet port is connected to the power injector module, and the power injector
module is connected to an AC power source. The power injector includes one LED
indicator that turns on when AC power is applied.

The power injector module automatically adjusts to any AC voltage between
100-240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.

Warning:The power injector module is designed for indoor use only. Never mount the

power injector outside with the wireless bridge unit.

Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) BNC Connector

The RSSI connector provides an output voltage that is proportional to the received
radio signal strength. A DC voltmeter can be connected the this port to assist in
aligning the antennas at both ends of a wireless bridge link.

Grounding Point

Even though the wireless bridge includes its own built-in lightning protection, it is
important that the unit is properly connected to ground. Two grounding screws are
provided for attaching a ground wire to the unit.

Wall- and Pole-Mounting Bracket Kits

The wireless bridge includes bracket kits that can be used to mount the bridge to a
wall, pole, radio mast, or part of a tower structure.
