Within the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz band (5GHz radio channels 34 to 48) the U-NII devices are restricted to indoor operations to reduce any potential harmful interference to MSS operations.
FCC Warning
FCC 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.
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 20cm between the radiator & your body.
If this device is going to be operated in 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency range, then it is restricted in indoor environment only.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

IC Warning
Note: This User's Guide is for P-781 Use
P-780 is for with two radio cards P-781 is for with one radio card 
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause interference and  This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 8 dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The require d antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for successful communication.
Because high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) in 5250-5350 MHz, these radars could cause interference and/or damage to license exempt LAN devices.

LAN port: IP 192.168.2.2 subnet 255.255.255.0
Software Introduction: KickStart
The Gemtek Systems KickStart is a software utility that is included on the Installation CD. The utility automatically detects access points or access controllers installed on your network,
regardless of its host IP address and lets you configure each unit’s IP settings. The feature list for the KickStart utility is listed below:
Scanning your subnet for all connected APs, ACs  Quick access to your AP via HTTPS, telnet, SSH
To install the KickStart utility insert the Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. Find and install the utility from the product CD into the computer.
If the Installation CD does not start automatically, please run “autorun.exe” manually from the root directory of the installation CD.
Access Your P-780
There are two choices for the first Web browser connection to your P-780:
 Use the Web browser.  Launch the KickStart utility that is provided with your product CD.
If first method is preferred follow these instructions: Step 1 Configure your PC with a static IP address on the 192.168.2.0 subnet with mask
255.255.255.0. Connect the P-780 in to the same physical network as your PC. Open the Web browser and type the default IP address of the P-780:
https://192.168.2.2
