Safety and Conformance guidelines
This chapter contains safety guidelines that you must follow for personal safety
and for the correct handling and operation of equipment.
To prevent personal injury, equipment damage, or service interruption, follow
all precautionary messages found in APU/CSU 802.11b POE documentation and
the safety procedures established by your company.
The following precautionary messages appear in APU/CSU 802.11b POE
documentation:
The graphic symbol of an exclamation point within an equilateral triangle warns
the user of the device that it is necessary to refer to the instruction manual and its
warnings for proper operation of the unit.
Access Point Unit: 2.4G-B-Radio-POE NTPM99AE 01 Rel 1.0 Issue1 May 2007
Safety Precautions
Refer servicing to a qualified technician who is familiar with NEC
(National Electrical Code) and a related regulation for installation to reduce
the risk of electrical damage when the unit does not appear to operate
normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.
Make sure that the radio unit and antenna should be properly grounded to
protect the equipment and person from ESD and a lighting strike in
accordance with National and Local Electrical Code.
Do not install the equipment and antenna near high voltage power source
and line, keeping them at least 1 m (3ft) away from such a high voltage and
current facility like a power cable.
An appropriate disconnect device shall be provided as part of the
installation in the end system.
It is crucially recommended that a rated surge arrestor is inserted between
antenna connector and antenna cable to prevent the equipment from being
damaged by lightening strike from thunderstorm.
Be sure all exposed connectors are sealed with an appropriate shrinkable
tube and tape for waterproof. Alternatively, you can overlap and seal the
waterproofing material with a silicon and plastic tape to protect it from UV
radiation and other harmful environment.

Pre-Study for
Wireless Network Design and Deployment
Requirement for Site planning
A wireless network requires more additional considerations and factors
for deployment than a wired network in order to achieve the maximum
performance.
Link Budget and Service Coverage
Clearance (FRESNEL Zone, Earth Curvature)
Network Provision(Backhaul, Local Network)
Radio Regulation and Electrical Code(National, Local)
FRESNEL Zone
The radio links between all end sites are specified as three types of
environmental connection as listed below:
LOS (Line Of Sight)
OLOS (Optical LOS)
NLOS (Non LOS)
Although you find a suitable location where it is on a line of sight with
an remote unit, you should be aware of the important concept on
“FRESNEL Zone (pronounced fre-nell)”, a key factor of OLOS(Optical
Line Of Sight) because the antenna beam does not shape a simple
straight and narrow beam even in case of a high directional antenna.
Note: The FRESNEL Zone is a theoretical three-dimensional envelope
around the line of sight of an antenna transmission.
When any objects are obstructed in this zone, it can cause the received
signal strength of the transmitted signal to fade and out-of-phase
reflections and absorption of the signal resulting in signal cancellation.
Following is the typical obstacles you will encounter and must be
avoided to operate effectively:
Buildings
Trees or moisture vegetation
Power and CATV line
Metallic structure like roof or wall
Crowed Parking Lot
Water surface
