IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The ES2440 is an outdoor device. It should be powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet) using a
weatherized Ethernet cable. A mid-span PoE injector is provided with the ES2440. This mid-span
PoE injector, as well as the power supply/adapter used to power that injector, should remain
indoors, protected from the weather. From the mid-span PoE injector, a weatherized Ethernet
cable should be run to the outdoor ES2440. In this way, power can be safely provided to the
outdoor ES2440 while the power supply and injector remain protected indoors, as shown:
The power port on the ES2440 should not be used; it is reserved for future expansion.

IMPORTANT FCC INFORMATION
The Federal Communications Commission has released Office of Engineering and Technology
Laboratory Division Knowledge Database (KDB) 44399, which refines the definition of Dynamic
Frequency Selection (DFS) support. Since this device has the ability to use frequencies covered
by DFS, KDB 443999 must be followed. It is published in full on the FCC web site:
https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/forms/FTSSearchResultPage.cfm?switch=P&id=41732
In order to support FCC KDB 443999, Fortress has limited the use of certain frequencies within
the 5400–5725 MHz range. Specifically, the frequencies defined by the FCC as being of primary
interest are those in the 5600–5650 MHz range, which correspond to 802.11a channels 120, 124,
and 128. In order to comply with the KDB 443999, these channels have been removed from use,
or notched. Notched channels are unavailable for use on this device.
KDB 44399 provides additional restrictions on the use of channels within 30 MHz of notched
channels when the device is within 35 km of a Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR)
installation. Affected chann els 116, 132, and 136 serve as a guard of 30 MHz around the critical
notched frequencies. Guard frequencies are unavailable for use on this device by default. The
FCC allows these channels to be used, however, as long as the device is not within 35 km of a
TDWR installation, as described in this excerpt of KDB 443999:
Any installation of either a master or a clien t device within 35 km of a TDWR location shall
be separated by at least 30 MHz (center-to-center) from the TDWR operating frequency.
In some instances it is possible that a device may be within 35 km of multiple TDWRs. In
this case the device must ensure that it avoids operation within 30 MHz for each of the
TDWRs. This requirement applies even if the master is outside the 35 km radius but
communicates with outdoor clients which may be within the 35 km radius of the TDWRs.
The requirement for ensuring 30 MHz frequency separation is based on the best
information available to date. If interference is not eliminated, a distance limitation based
on line-of-sight from TDWR will need to be used.
Please refer to the original KDB 443999 as posted on the FCC web site for the complete text.
In order to enable channels 116, 132, and/or 136, please contact Fortress to obtain a special
license. This license will be issued after it is confirmed that the installation is not within 30 MHz and
35 km of registered TDWR sites. The following table (provided by the FCC in KDB 443999
published on 10/14/2010) describes the locations of TDWR sites, as well as the frequencies at
which these sites operate:

In addition, the FCC recommends that all operators and installers register with the WISPA
database used by government agencies to quickly find devices that may be causing interference
and notify their owners/operators to shut them down. This registration is not required, but Fortress
strongly recommends that all systems be registered, as described in this excerpt of KDB 44399:
A voluntary WISPA sponsored database has been developed that allows operators and
installers to register the location information of the UNII devices operating outdoors in the
5470 – 5725 MHz band within 35 km of any TDWR location (see
http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx
). This database may be used by
government agencies in order to expedite reso lu tion of an y interference to TDWRs.
KDB 443999 further specifies that the requirements of KDB 594280 must also be met.
KDB 594280 is published in full on the FCC web site:
https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/kdb/forms/FTSSearchResultPage.cfm?switch=P&id=39498
.
This device meets KDB 594280 by not allowing any configuratio n options to be made such that the
device could be taken out of compliance. There is no ability for the user to change country codes
or to select power levels that would take the device out of compliance.
For customers such as the U.S. military or others willing to produce evidence that particular
devices will be used only outside of the United States, a special license can be obtained from
Fortress that will allow those devices the option of selecting a different, non-U.S. country code.
Fortress creates such license s only for t hose custo mers who offer proof of non-U.S. device usa ge,
and licenses are specific to particular devices and are not transferrable. Devices having such a
iii

license should NOT be considered to be compliant with FCC regulatory requirements. Please
contact Fortress with questions about these special licences.
Only software that has been signed by Fortress using the Fortre ss private key can b e loaded onto
a Fortress device, thus insuring that no software other than that which is controlled and signed by
Fortress can by loaded onto the device.
FCC EMISSIONS COMPLIANCE
AND INDUSTRY CANADA STATEMENTS
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 OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
MEASURES:
• REORIENT OR RELOCATE THE RECEIVING ANTENNA.
• INCREASE THE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE EQUIPMENT AND
THE RECEIVER.
• CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT INTO AN OUTLET ON A CIRCUIT
DIFFERENT FROM THAT TO WHICH THE RECIEVER IS
CONNECTED.
• CONSULT THE DEALER OR AN EXPERIENCED RADIO/TV
TECHNICIAN FOR HELP.
YOU MAY ALSO FIND HELPFUL THE FOLLOWING BOOKLET,
PREPARED BY THE FCC: “HOW TO IDENTIFY AND RESOLVE
RADIOTV INTERFERENCE PROBLEMS.” THIS BOOKLET IS

CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY
THE MANUFACTURER OR REGISTRANT OF THIS EQUIPMENT CAN
VOID YOUR AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT UNDER
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RULES. IN ORDER TO
MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE WITH FCC REGULATIONS, SHIELDED
CABLES MUST BE USED WITH THIS EQUIPMENT. OPERATION WITH
NON-APPROVED EQUIPMENT OR UNSHIELDED CABLES IS LIKELY
TO RESULT IN INTERFERENCE TO RADIO AND TELEVISION
RECEPTION.
IN ADDITION, USERS SHOULD ALSO BE CAUTIONED TO TAKE NOTE
THAT HIGH POWER RADARS ARE ALLOCATED AS PRIMARY USERS

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT CAP ABLE OF OPERATING IN THE 5600MHZ –
5650MHZ RANGE.
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE OPERATED NO CLOSER THAN 20CM TO
THE HUMAN BODY.
CAUTION: 4.4 GHZ MILITARY BAND RADIOS ARE OPTIONAL
EQUIPMENT IN THE ES2440. THE 4.400 GHZ–4.750 GHZ
FREQUENCY RANGE IS REGULATED BY THE UNITED STATES
