ES2440 Hardware Guide IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION The ES2440 is an outdoor device. It should be powered by a mid-span PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector obtained from Fortress Technologies over a weatherized Ethernet cable OR by a DC power adapter/supply obtained from Fortress Technologies over a weatherized DC power cable. Either power source, mid-span PoE injector or DC power supply, and the power cord and AC supply it plugs into should remain indoors, protected from the weather.
ES2440 Hardware Guide TDWRs. This requirement applies even if the master is outside the 35 km radius but communicates with outdoor clients which may be within the 35 km radius of the TDWRs. The requirement for ensuring 30 MHz frequency separation is based on the best information available to date. If interference is not eliminated, a distance limitation based on line-of-sight from TDWR will need to be used. Please refer to the original KDB 443999 as posted on the FCC web site for the complete text.

ES2440 Hardware Guide: Overview Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 This Document This user guide covers preparing and installing the Fortress ES2440 High-Capacity Infrastructure Mesh Point hardware. It also describes the LED indicators and recessed button operation and provides specifications. Other Fortress hardware devices are covered in separate hardware guides, one for each Mesh Point (or Network Encryptor) model. WARNING: can cause physical injury or death and/or severely damage your equipment.
ES2440 Hardware Guide: Overview 1.2 The ES2440 The ES2440 High-Capacity Infrastructure Mesh Point is a full-featured Fortress network device, providing strong data encryption and Multi-factor Authentication™, including native RADIUS authentication, to users and devices on the network it secures. Two ES2440 models are each equipped with four radios: Radio 1 is a 400 mW (milliwatt, peak power) dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n radio that can be configured to use either the 802.11b/g band or the 802.
ES2440 Hardware Guide: Overview The 4.400 GHz–4.780 GHz frequency range is regulated by the NTIA (National Telecommunications and Information Administration), the parent agency of the FCC (Federal Communications Commission). FCC labeling applied to the ES2440-3444 chassis therefore provides an FCC ID for only the 802.11a Radio 1. Each radio-equipped model is furnished with the appropriate rear-panel antenna port configuration for the number and type of radios installed.
ES2440 Hardware Guide: Installation Chapter 2 Installation 2.1 Preparation Before proceeding with installation, review the safety information in Section 2.1.1 below. 2.1.1 Safety Requirements To prevent damage to the product and ensure your personal safety, operate the Mesh Point only within the operating specifications given in Section 4.1.
ES2440 Hardware Guide: Installation 2.1.2 Grounding: Ground the ES2440 by connecting a ground wire to the grounding stud located on the left rear corner of the chassis (refer to Figures 2.1 and 2.2, below). Radio Frequency: The Mesh Point’s internal radios conform to the FCC’s safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy, provided that you follow these guidelines: Do not touch or move the antennas while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
ES2440 Hardware Guide: Installation will automatically disconnect PoE if external DC power is applied and will only reconnect PoE when DC power is removed. When either PoE or external DC are removed, the ES2440 will reboot.
ES2440 Hardware Guide: Installation The ES2440 Mesh Point’s Serial port and three Ethernet ports, Ethernet1/WAN/POE, Ethernet2, and Ethernet3 are located on the front panel, along with the DC Power inlet and recessed Reset button (see Figure 2.1). All ES2440 front-panel ports are protected by captive covers. Unused ports should remain covered to protect against dust and other debris. Covered or uncovered, all ES2440 ports are waterproof.
ES2440 Hardware Guide: Installation ES2440-3444 The ES2440-3444 is likewise equipped with the appropriate rear-panel antenna port configuration for the number and type of radios installed: two for Radio 1, and one for each 4.4 GHz radio (Radio 2, Radio 3 and Radio 4). The GPS antenna port is also present in this model, for a total of six rear-panel antenna ports.
ES2440 Hardware Guide: Installation 2.2.2 Connections for Deployment Review the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION on page iii and Safety Requirements in Section 2.1.1 before installing or operating the ES2440. 2.2.2.1 Connecting the ES2440-3555 or ES2440-35 for Deployment Antennas used with the ES2440 must be professionally installed and must conform to FCC EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) limitations. All antennas must have 50 Ohms impedance.
