FCC Notice:

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:

n Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
n Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
n Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver

is connected.
n Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance

could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any

other antenna or transmitter.
The equipment version marketed in US is restricted to usage of the channels 1- 11 in 2.4GHz

band only.

802.11a Bridge AP5822 MTI Proprietary Page 2

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. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF
exposure compliance.

Because standard antenna -connectors are used, this device is for professional installation
only.

For the safety reason, people should not work in a location where the RF Exposure
exceeds the limits. To get this, people who work with the antennas should be aware of the
following rules:

1). When using the 2.4GHz 8dbi or the 5GHz 8dbi or the 5GHz 17dbi antenna, the user

should keep at least 20 cm or more separation distance with the antenna.

2). When using the 5GHz 23dbi antenna, the user should keep at least 30 cm or more

separation distance with the antenna.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Rates of 6 to 54 Mbps are
supported in standard IEEE 802.11a modes, and up to 108 Mbps in Atheros Turbo Mode . All

802.11a transmission rates are supported across the 5.15 to 5.85 GHz spectrum.

1-1 System Requirements

The Bridge contains a small boot executive that allows the main operating system software to
be downloaded using the Ethernet port over an FTP connection. The Operating system
software can also reside in the Flash memory of the Bridge, which allows booting without the
need to download the operating system from the host PC over an FTP connection. A
configuration file is created in Flash memory to store user-configurable parameters. A
terminal or PC with an Ethernet connection is required to perform the initial Bridge
configuration. An FTP server is required for firmware update to the Bridge.

1-2 Product Configurations

The base hardware is an outdoor mountable metal enclosure. The AP5822 can be managed
via the network station remotely. The following are available product configurations:

n Fast Ethernet managed 802.11a wireless outdoor turbo bridge
