Altitude 300-2™ Getting Started Guide 39DReglatory CompliancesOverview The Altitude 300-2TM wireless port is manufactured by Extreme Networks in several regulatory domain configurations. Each regulatory domain includes various countries that share similar regulatory requirements. Each regulatory domain is listed in the table below with corresponding countries. It is the end users responsible to obtain an Altitude 300-2TM with the proper regulatory domain for use in the intended country of operation.The end user is also responsible to install the latest version of software made available by Extreme Networks in order to insure compliance with country requirements and restrictions for each system installation. Since countries are constantly opening up new frequencies and changing output power limits it is advantageous to maintain the latest software version to take advantage of these improvements. Please consult the software manual of the PoE WLAN switch connected to your Altitude 300-2TM for detailed instructions for installing and upgrading software.NOTEThe Altitude 300-2TM is completely configured and managed by the PoE WLAN switch connected to the Altitude 300-2TM. Please consult the software manual of the PoE WLAN switch to properly configure the Altitude 300-2TM.NOTENot all regulatory domains have been approved. For countries not listed within the table below please contact your Extreme Networks representative for the proper regulatory domain Altitude 300-2TM wireless port.
40 Altitude 300-2™ Getting Started GuideReglatory Compliances* Operation in other countries may be dependant on securing proper certifications / regulatory approvals. For more details on country specific ordering please consult your Extreme Networks representative.General Compliance Design Guidelines Various countries have regulatory requirement that do not allow the end user to select the country of operation or operating channels for the wireless access point. To satisfy these requirements, the Altitude 300-2TM wireless port is pre-programmed with a permanent country code that identifies the AP to the PoE WLAN switch as a country that prohibits the end user to select the country they are in. Since these AP's are only sold in these specific countries, the PoE WLAN switch is able to automatically configure AP to operate at the proper operating frequencies, channels and power outputs without end user interaction.When an Altitude 300-2TM wireless port is connected that does not have a pre-programmed country code, such as with the “EU & Rest of World” Altitude 300-2TM, the PoE WLAN switch will prompt user to enter the correct country code for system operation. The user must than enter the country code on the PoE WLAN switch before ports will be enabled and the desired frequencies, channels and power outputs be set. This allows a single AP to be used for Table 9: Regulator Domain Product ListingModel Number Product Regulatory Domain15700 Altitude 300-2i North America15701 Altitude 300-2d North America15702 Altitude 300-2i Japan15703 Altitude 300-2d Japan15704 Altitude 300-2i Taiwan15705 Altitude 300-2d Taiwan15706 Altitude 300-2i European Community, Australia, Korea, Mexico & China.

LAN mobile users can roam between different BSSs in an ESS (ESS-ID, SSID).Ethernet - A popular local area data communications network, which accepts transmission from computers and terminals.Infrastructure - An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an infrastructure configuration.ISM - The Industrial Scientific and Medical band of regulated but unlicensed frequencies. The size and position of the band varies among different regulatory agencies. In the Americas the ISM S band is from 2.4 GHz to 2.4835 GHz and the ISM C band is from 5.725 GHz to 5.875 GHz which is also part of the UNII band.Plenum (Hanging Ceiling) - The environmental air space above the ceiling tiles of a hanging ceiling. Equipment in the plenum must be tested for fire resistance and low-smoke-producing characteristics.PoE - Power Over Ethernet. This is an IEEE standard 802.3af that specifies how power is delivered over Ethernet twisted pair cables.RADIUS - Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. A login and password server standard originally developed for ISP telephone modem bank service accesses. RADIUS is now widely used for any general login process. Roaming - A wireless LAN mobile user moves around an ESS and maintains a continuous connection to the infrastructure network.RTS Threshold - Transmitters contending for the medium may not be aware of each other. RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node Problem.” If the packet size is smaller than the preset RTS Threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will NOT be enabled.Summit 300-48TM - Extreme Networks 48 port 10/100 switch with four GBIC ports, PoE, and Altitude 300-2TM configuration software.
