Section 1 General Information
Contents
Each SU or AP radio comes equipped with an internal dual polarization antenna, a power-over-Ethernet
(POE) J-Box, an AC adapter, and mounting hardware for pole mounting. The radio also has one
reverse-polarity SMA connector on the side for attachment to an external antenna. The MAC ID and
Serial # are printed on a label on the back of the radio.
Connections
See M2400S User Manual for detailed diagram for connecting radio to network or PC utilizing the power
over Ethernet (PoE) J-Box cat-5 cables.
NOTE: DO NOT APPLY DC POWER TO THE M2400S-SU or M2400S-AP UNTIL THE ANTENNA IS
ATTACHED WHEN USING THE “e” ANTENNA OPTION, OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO THE RADIO
MAY OCCUR.
Section 2 5. Setting the Maximum RF Power
Several FCC certified antenna options are available for the M2400S-AP and M2400S-SU. Due to FCC
restrictions the professional installer must manually set the maximum power when any antenna gain is
greater than allowed limits. The table below shows the maximum power setting the radio must have to
achieve FCC allowable EIRP limits. Only the antennas listed below are allowed to be used with the radio.
Antenna Model Antenna Gain (incl/cable loss) Radio Max power setting
Pacific Wireless SA24-90-17 +17 dBi AP +19 dBm
(Sectoral) SU +23 dBm (no change required)
Pacific Wireless DCA24MN +24 dBi AP +12 dBm
(Dish) SU +22 dBm
Pacific Wireless OD24-12 +12 dBi AP +23 dBm (no change required)
(Omni) SU +23 dBm (no change required)
NOTE: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THAT THE FCC
REQUIREMENTS DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE MET.
Use the following command to change maximum output power:
power range [<min, dBm> <max, dBm>]
The flash memory must be updated after running the command. (save ss)
Example: To set the max power to 19 dBm for the sectoral antenna:
#> power range 10 19
[Min] 10 dBm [Max] 19 dBm
power range [<min, dBm> <max, dBm>]
#> save ss
Update flash successful.
Success.
