WARNING!
The user or installer is responsible to ensure that he Altitude 300-2 is operated according to channel
limitations, indoor / outdoor restrictions, license requirements, and within power level limits for the
current country of operation. A configuration utility has been provided with the switch to allow the end
user to check the configuration and make necessary configuration changes to ensure proper operation
in accordance with the spectrum usage rules for compliance with the European R&TTE directive
1999/5/EC. See the switch software guide for detailed instructions on use of this utility.
NOTE
The Altitude 300-2 is completely configured and managed by the switch connected to the Altitude 300-2.
Please see the appropriate Extreme Networks software user guide to properly configure the Altitude
300-2.
• The Altitude 300-2 wireless port requires the end user or installer to
properly enter the correct
country code into the switch software prior to operating the A300-2, to allow for proper
configuration in conformance with European National spectrum usage laws.
• After the first Altitude 300-2 wireless port is connected to the switch, each additional wireless port
connected will inherit the operating configuration of the first Altitude 300-2 wireless port. The user
or installer is responsible to ensure the first Altitude 300-2 wireless port is properly configured.
• The software within the switch will automatically limit the allowable channels and output power
determined by the current country code entered. Incorrectly entering the country of operation,
selecting the correct indoor/outdoor setting or identifying the proper antenna used, may result in
illegal operation and may cause harmful interference to other systems.
• This device employs a radar detection feature
required for European Community operation in the 5
GHz band. This feature is automatically enabled when the country of operation is correctly
configured for any European Community country. The presence of nearby radar operation may
result in temporary interruption of operation of this device. The radar detection feature will
automatically restart operation on a channel free of radar.
• The 5 GHz Turbo Mode feature is not enabled for use on the A300-2 model 15706 and 15707 Group II
access point.
• The AutoChannelSelect/SmartSelect setting of the 5 GHz described in the switch software guide
must always remain enabled to ensure that automatic 5 GHz channel selection complies with
European requirements. The current setting for this feature is found in the 5 GHz Radio
Configuration Window as described in the switch software manual.
• The A300-2 with integral or detachable antennas may be used to transmit indoors and outdoors in
countries of the European Community, as indicated in Table 16. Go to
http://www.extremenetworks.com/go/rfcertification.htm for the most up to date limitation and
