Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

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 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.

- Verify that the ambient temperature remains between 0 to 40° C, taking into account the elevated

temperatures when installed in a rack or enclosed space.

- Verify the integrity of the electrical ground before installing the device.

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. To avoid the possibility of exceeding radio frequency exposure limits, you shall beep a distance of at least 100cm between you and the antenna of the installed equipment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country

dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The

firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Introduction

Designed for environment application, the IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment is a high-performance last-mile broadband solution that provides reliable wireless network coverage. Designed with IEEE 802.11n standard, 2x2 MIMO technology and high output power makes it possible deliver up to 300Mbps high data rate with longer range for applications. ZAC-1023-5 operates at 5GHz band. IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment can be used as the access point, the customer premises equipment (CPE), the WDS and the AP Repeater. While being as the access point, it can be deployed to provide wireless internet service. In the other way to be as the CPE, it can receive wireless signal over the last mile, helping WISPs deliver internet service to the new residential and the business customer where wired broadband internet service, such as cable and DSL, cannot serve in. In addition, the easy-to-install IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment features with outstanding throughput performance and a cost-effective design that allows users to have the reliable wireless connection at the affordable price.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

This chapter describes safety precautions and product information you have to know and check before installing IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment.

Preparation before Installation

Professional Installation Required

Please seek assistance from a professional installer who is well trained in the RF installation and knowledgeable in the local regulations.

Safety Precautions

1. To keep you safe and install the hardware properly, please read and follow these safety precautions.

2. If you are installing IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment for the first time, for your safety as well as others’, please seek assistance from a professional installer who has received safety training on the hazards involved.

3. Keep safety as well as performance in mind when selecting your installation site, especially where there are electric power and phone lines.

4. When installing IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment, please note the following things:

 Do not use a metal ladder;  Do not work on a wet or windy day;  Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket.

5. When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of it. Strong RF fields are present when the transmitter is on.

Product CD contains Quick Installation Guide and User Manual.

Note:

Installation Precautions

To keep the IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment well while you are installing it, please read and follow these installation precautions.

1. Users MUST use a proper and well-installed grounding and surge arrestor with the IEEE

802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment; otherwise, a random lightening could easily cause fatal damage to IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment. EMD

(Lightning) DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRNTY.

2. Users MUST use the “Power cord & PoE Injector” shipped in the box with the IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment. Use of other options will likely cause damage to the IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment.

3. Users MUST power off the ZAC Access Point first before connecting the external antenna to it. Do not switch from built-in antenna to the external antenna from WEB management without physically attaching the external antenna onto the unit; otherwise, damage might be caused to the ZAC Access Point itself.

4. This device is for indoor use only.

Product Package

The product package you have received should contain the following items. If any of them are not included or damaged, please contact your local vendor for support.

IEEE 802.11n Wireless CPE × 1

 Detachable 5dBi Antennas × 2  Pole Mounting Ring × 2  24VDC Power Cord & PoE Injector × 1  Ferrite Suppression Core × 1  Grounding Wire × 1  Product CD × 1

Users MUST use the “Power cord & PoE Injector” shipped in the box with the IEEE

802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment. Use of other options will likely cause damage to the IEEE 802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment.

Warning:

Pole Mounting Ring

Ferrite Suppression Core

24VDC Power Cord & PoE Injector

Hardware Installation

Connect up

1. The bottom of the Access Point is a movable cover. Grab the cover and pull it back harder to take it out as the figure shown below.

2. Plug a standard Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port.

3. Slide the cover back and press down the lock button to seal the bottom of the Access Point.

Using the Grounding Wire

The IEEE802.11n Wireless Customer Premises Equipment is equipped with a grounding wire. It is important that the Access Point, cables, and PoE Injector must be properly connected to earth ground during normal use against surges or ESD.

1. Remove the screw on the grounding point at the bottom of the Access Point.

2. Put the grounding wire on the grounding point at the bottom of the Access Point. Then screw the

grounding wire to tighten up.

Install External Antennas

The Access Point provides two reverse SMA antenna connectors for connecting external antennas.

1. Connect external antennas that came with the package to the SMA-type connectors on top of the

Access Point. For longer coverage distance, it is recommended that higher gain antennas be used to best suit the application.

Users MUST power off the Access Point first before connecting the external antenna

to it. Do not power on the device for a certain of time without physically attaching the external antenna; otherwise, damage might be caused to the unit itself.

Warning:

2. Bend the antennas to 90 degree or 45 degree.

3. You may turn one antenna 45 degrees to the left and the other 45 degrees to the right. The tilted

antennas are a reasonable way to operate and the best way if the antennas are fairly close together since they couple together much less than if they are both pointed in the same direction (parallel).
