Product Overview

Introduction

The H3C WA2600 Series Indoor WLAN Access Points (hereinafter
referred to as the WA2600 indoor series) are one of the 802.11n
access point (AP) product series developed by Hangzhou H3C
Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as H3C). The WA2600
indoor series can serve as fat APs for networking independently, and
serve as fit APs to cooperate with wireless local area network (WLAN)
switches or access controllers to provide wireless access for WLAN
users.

Figure 1-1 shows a typical scenario of hotspot deployments using the
WA2600 indoor series.

EU Country Restriction in 2.4GHz band

This device may be used indoors or outdoors in all countries of the
European Community using the 2.4GHz band: Channel 1-13, except
where noted below.

1) In France, the output power is restricted to 10 mW EIRP when the
product is used outdoors in the band 2454 - 2483.5 MHz. There
are no restrictions when used in other parts of the 2.4 GHz band.

EU Country Restriction in 5GHz band

1) In Italy the end-user must apply for a license from the national
spectrum authority to operate this device outdoors.

2) To remain in conformance with European spectrum usage laws for
Wireless LAN operation, the above 2.4GHz and 5GHz channel
limitations apply. The user should check the current channel of
operation. If operation is occurring outside of the allowable
frequencies as listed above, the user must cease operating the
H3C WA2612-AGN at that location and consult the local technical
support staff responsible for the wireless network.

3) This device must be used with the radar detection feature required
for European Community operation in the 5GHz bands. This
device will avoid operating on a channel occupied by any radar
system in the area. The presence of nearby radar operation may
result in temporary interruption in communications of this device.
The Access Point’s radar detection feature will automatically
restart operation on a channel free of radar. You may consult with
the local technical support staff responsible for the wireless
network to ensure the Access Point device(s) are properly
configured for European Community operation.

USA Compliance information

US Federal Communications Commission statement

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:

 This device may not cause harmful interference.
 This device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal
Communications Commission (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 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.

A-9

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

RF Requirements

RF exposure Hazard Warning

This device generates and radiates radio-frequency energy. In order to
comply with FCC radio-frequency exposure guidelines for an
uncontrolled environment, this equipment must be installed and operated
while maintaining a minimum body to antenna distance of 20 cm
(approximately 8 in.)

RF Frequency Requirements

This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment. This device and its antenna must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other unauthorized
antenna or transmitter.

This device is for indoor use only when using channels 36, 38, 40, 44, 46
or 48 in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range.

High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35
GHz; 5.47 to 5.725 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause
interference with and/or damage this device.

Note: Frequency range from 5600 to 5650MHz is not available in USA.

Antennas

Only use the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or
change to the antennas could violate FCC regulations and void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

A-10

Industry Canada

RF Compliance

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conform à la norme NMB-003
du Canada.

This device complies with RSS 210 of Industry Canada.

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 this device.

L ‘ utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions
suivantes: (1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage et (2) l’ utilisateur du
dispositif doit étre prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu,
même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le
fonctionnement du dispositif.

The term "IC" before the equipment certification number only signifies
that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type
and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful
communication. To prevent radio interference to the licensed service,
this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to
