ES440 Hardware Guide: Installation
4
WARNING: If the
Mesh Point con-
nects to outside-mount-
ed antennas, failure to
provide a low resistive
earth ground can result
in migration of voltage
from lightning or line
surges onto the premis-
es wiring, which can
cause electric shock
and/or fire within the
building or structure.
 Grounding: Ground the ES440 by connecting a ground wire
to the ES440 mounting hole and the mast mounting
bracket.
 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.
 To safeguard Mesh Point transmitting circuitry, relocate
the Mesh Point and its antennas only when the Mesh
Point is powered off.
 When the Mesh Point is transmitting, do not hold it so
that the antenna is very close to or touching any
exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes.
 Antennas must be installed to provide a separation of at
least 20 cm (7.9") from all persons and any co-located
antenna or transmitter.
 Regarding use in specific environments: · Do not
operate near unshielded blasting caps or in an
explosive environment. · Limit use in a hazardous
location to the constraints imposed by the location’s
safety director. · Abide by the rules of the Federal
Aviation Administration for the use of wireless devices
on airplanes. · Restrict the use of wireless devices in
hospitals to the limits set forth by each hospital.
2.1.2 Powering Options
CAUTION: Never
plug the ES440
into an AC adapter oth-
er than the adapter that
ships with the unit (or a
replacement obtained
from Fortress). Using
the wrong AC adapter
can damage the ES440.
The ES440 Mesh Point can be powered by standard AC or
PoE (Power over Ethernet).
To power the ES440 with standard AC, plug the included AC
adapter into a properly rated AC outlet and connect the adapter
to the ES440’s power inlet (refer to Figure 2.1) with the cable
provided.
To power the ES440 over Ethernet, connect Ethernet 1 (see
Figure 2.1) to a remote standard 802.11af PoE midspan
adapter or endspan source.
