3.5 Antenna Installation

The WL2400 has been FCC Certified for use with the YDI Model AMP2440P and a variety of

outdoor antennas.

Table (1) shows the FCC approved external antennas that can be used with and without the

YDI AMP2440P. The AMP2440P and the YDI WL2400 WLAN cards must be professionally

installed when used with an outdoor antenna or amplifier. It is the responsibility of the installer

to ensure that when used in the United States (or where FCC rules apply) under Part 15

regulations, only these configurations are used.

Figure (1) shows the antenna cabling diagram for connection to an external antenna. Note

that a special adapter cable is needed from the WLAN card to the transmission line to the

antenna.
