An important note about wireless security
For easy access to the management interface via a wireless connectio n, the CN 200 shi ps with all w ireless secu rity opti ons disabl ed . Once the u ni t
is installed, it is strongly recommended that you enable a wireless security optio n to properly safeguard the wireless network from intruders. See the
CN200 Administrator's Guide for more information.
Installation
Configuration
Important: Installation must be performed by a professional installer familiar
with local regulations governing wireless de vices.
Important: Shielded Ethernet cables must be used for all connections.
Important: Do not connect the LAN or Internet port directly to a metropolitan
area network (MAN) or wide area network (WAN).
Important: CH 36, 40, 44, 48 for Indoor use only (5.15-5.25GHz)
When mounting the CN200 on a wall, ceilin g or other surface, make sure
that:
• the surface you attach the CN200 to and the fasteners you use are
able to support at least 5.1 kg (11.25 pounds)
• cable pull (accidental or otherwise), must not make the unit exceed
the 5.1 kg (11.25 pound) limit
Plenum installations
Plenum rated cables and attachment hardware must be used if the CN200
is installed in a plenum. Since the CN200 power adapter (optional) is not
rated for plenum installations, only the CN200 and appropriate cabling
can be located in the plenum.
Note: Colubris Networks supplied PoE injectors (available separately)
cannot be installed inside the plenum.
To configure the CN200, you use the Web-based management tool built
into the CN200. You access this tool by establishing a Web browser
connection to the CN200. You must use a JavaScript-enabled Web
browser (Netscape 7.1 or higher, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or
higher with all applicable updates), to do this.
1 Connect two antennas.
Use the following antennas (sold separately):
Radio Antenna type Colubris Networks part number
802.11b/g 2.4 Ghz. 71-05-0100
802.11a 5Ghz. 71-05-0200
802.11a or b/g 2.4/5 Ghz. 71-05-0300
Both the Main and Aux antennas are used to transmit and receive. If a
single antenna is used, it can be attached to either connector,
although it is recommended that the Main connector be used.
The connectors are reverse-polarity SMA male jacks. This means
antennas or cable connectors must be SMA female connectors with
reverse polarity. Antennas should be 2 dBi or less and can be either
directly attached or attached via a coax cable.

Regulatory information
The CN200 complies with the following radio frequency and safety
standards.
Canada - Industry Canada (IC)
This device complies with RSS 210 of Industry Canada.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003
et CNR 210 d’Industrie Canada.
Europe - EU Declaration of Conformity
This device is for indoor use only.
Important: Users must select the proper country of operation in the
management tool to ensure wireless operational settings conform to local
regulations.
Important: If more than one unit is deployed users must ensure that the
operating frequencies are spread amoung different channels (according to
channel availability).
USA - Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
The CN200 complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation of the CN200 in
a system is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of the CN200 is far below the FCC radio
frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the CN200 should be used in
such a manner as to minimize the potential for human contact during
normal operation. When using this device in combination with Colubris
Networks antenna products, a certain separation distance between the
antenna and nearby persons has to be kept to ensure FR exposure
compliance.
Refer to the Regulatory Statements as identified in the documentation that
comes with those products for additional information.
When an external antenna is connected to the CN200 it shall be placed i n
such a manner as to minimize the potential for human contact during
normal operation. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio
frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be
less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
When no external antenna is connected, the RF output power of the
CN200 is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, it is advised to use the CN20 0 in such a manner that h uman
contact during normal operation is minimized.
Interference Statement
The CN200 has been tested and found to comply with the l imits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
