10Chapter 2 Before You Begin
11This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the EnGenius EAP1200H is essential to maximizetheAccessPoint’sperformance.Avoidplacingthe EAP1200H in an enclosed space such as a closet,cabinet,orstairwell.Considerations for Wireless InstallationThe operating distance of all wireless devices can often not be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the environment in which the device is deployed. Obstacles such as the number, thickness,andlocationofwalls,ceilings,orotherobjectsthattheEAP1200H’s wireless signals must pass through can weaken the signal. Here are some key guidelines for allowing the EAP1200H to have an optimal wireless range during setup.• Keepthenumberofwallsand/orceilingsbetweentheEAP1200Hand other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or ceiling canreducethesignalstrength,resultinginaloweroverallsignalstrength.• Buildingmaterialsmakeadifference.Asolidmetaldoorand/oraluminum stubs may have a signicant negative effect on thesignal strength of the EAP1200H. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through drywall and/or open doorways.Materialssuchasglass,steel,metal,concrete,water(example:shtanks),mirrors,lecabinets,and/orbrickcanalsodiminish wireless signal strength.• Interferencefromyourotherelectricaldevicesand/orappliancesthat generate RF noise can also diminish the EAP1200H’s signal strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.Before You Begin

60Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: • Reorientorrelocatethereceivingantenna. • Increasetheseparationbetweentheequipmentandreceiver. • Connecttheequipmentintoanoutletonacircuitdierentfromthattowhichthereceiverisconnected. • Consultthedealeroranexperiencedradio/TVtechnicianforhelp. FCC Caution: Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Operations in the 5.15-5.25 GHz band are restricted to indoor usage only.IMPORTANT NOTE: Radiation Exposure StatementThis equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
