For the safety reason, people should not work in a
situation which RF Exposure limits be exceeded.
To prevent the situation happening, people who
work with the antenna should be aware of the
following rules:
1). In case the accesspoiont is operating with its integral
antenna, or when oprating with range extender model
AIN-WB-OD-B, position the system in such a way,
that 20cm seperation can be secured between antenna
and human body.
2). When using any other antenna, which is not mentioned
under 1), special measures have to be taken: the antenna
must be installed by a professional and situated in a location
where a distance of 1m can be secured towards any human
body. Read the external antenna intallation documentation for
essential details regarding conditions and operation.
3). While installing the antenna in the location, please always
turn off the power of the accesspoint.
4). While the device is working, please do not contact
the antenna.

Product variants that support 5.15 ~ 5.25 GHz frequency
range, are not equipped with external antenna connector
and are restricted for indoor use only!
The transmitter must not be co-located or operate in
conjucntion with any other antenna or transmitter.
We declare that AP-AG-AT-01 (Flanker Pro Single Radio

Chapter 1 Introduction
The next-generation wireless LAN device – 54Mbps Wireless Access Point,
are specially designed for Enterprise applications, offering campus-wide
connections between buildings at a speed of up to 54Mbps.
With simply one or two Access Points and wireless adaptors, users can build a
clean and neat wireless network in offices without too much effort. With a
wireless networking environment, everyone can get the access to the Internet
anytime, anywhere in offices.
Going wireless has advantages: It relieves you of the chore of drilling holes
and snaking Ethernet wires through walls and floors. Going wireless has
advantages for desk-bound purchase, too: It relieves you of the chore of
drilling holes and snaking Ethernet wires through walls and floors. In the
wireless environment, you can pick up your notebook with a wireless PC Card
installed, and get free to read e-mail, download files or surf the Web while
sitting anywhere.
With several Access Points, users can solve the problem to build LANs in
frequently changed environments, such as open space, show rooms, meeting
rooms, and manufacturing sites that are frequently rearranged. With
embedded Mini-PCI cards, and wireless PC cards, it is convenient for mobile
workers such as doctors, nurses, and sales to get access to existed databases
and networks anytime anywhere.
Fully compliant with IEEE802.11a/g standard, the Wireless Access Point
provides powerful features such as the Windows-based configuration utility,
MAC address filtering, WEP security and more.
1-1 Features and Benefits
• Detachable antenna allows you for the use of external high gain
antenna.
• With a data rate of 54 Mbps, the system is faster than an E1/T1 data
link.
• Fully IEEE 802.11a/g compatible. Allow inter-operation among multiple
vendors.
• Technique operating in the unlicensed 2.4GHz & 5GHz ISM band.
• Seamless roaming within the 802.11a & 802.11g wireless LAN
5
infrastructure.
• Provides user authentication to enforce tight security.
• MAC address control.
• Highly efficient antenna provides a range of operation up to 800 feet in
free space.
• Easy to install and friendly to user, just plug and play!
• Provides Window-based configuration utility.
• Tight design with light weight, compact size, and low power
consumption.
1-2 Applications
Wireless Infrastructure
In a wireless infrastructure, the access point acts as a bridge. The access point
connects the wireless clients together.The Access Point acts as a center point
for all wireless communications. This would increase efficiency of the
communications since the wireless adapters do not need to be within direct
range of each other.
Wireless Infrastructure with Stations Attaching to a Wired LAN
The 802.11a/g WLAN Access Point will provide an access to the local
LAN. LAN integration of wireless and wired LAN is called an
Infrastructure configuration. A group of wireless LAN PC users and an
Access Point construct a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each wireless PC in
this BSS can talk to each other on your network via the Access Point.
