RoamAbout™ R2 Wireless Access Platform
802.11a/b/g Radio Card
Quick Installation Guide
This document provides the RoamAbout R2 Wireless Access Platform 802.11a/b/g radio card
installation information, Radio Certification and Regulatory information.
This document may not contain the latest Regulatory information, check the web site for the latest
information at: www.enterasys.com/products/wireless.
Caution: Changes or modifications made to this device which are not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: You must be running RoamAbout R2 Wireless Access Platform firmware Version 6.xx, or
higher, to use the 802.11 a/b/g card. The RoamAbout AP Manager Kit 11.06, or higher, contains the
latest firmware. To download the latest version of firmware, go to
www.enterasys.com/software/RoamAbout/APMAN
Wireless LAN and Your Health
Wireless LAN products are radio devices that emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The
level of energy emitted by a Wireless LAN device is much less than the electromagnetic energy
emitted by devices like mobiles phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety
standards and recommendations, Enterasys Networks believes this product is safe for use by
consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific
community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually
review and interpret the extensive research literature.
Important Safety Instructions
When using this product, always follow the basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Always install the products as described in the documentation that is included with your
product.
2. Do not use the product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or
laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
3. Avoid using this product during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric
shock from lightning.
4. Do not use this product to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

Regulatory Information
You must install and use this device in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction as
described in the user documentation that is included with your product.
Before you follow the instructions or use of this product, carefully read the contents of this
document for device-specific constraints or rules that may apply in the country where you want to
use this product. The user must always ensure that country and/or channel selection of Peer-toPeer groups or Base Station Networks match the regulations of the country of operation.
In some situations or environments, the use of wireless devices may be restricted by the proprietor
of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may, for
example, include:
• Using the wireless equipment on board airplanes, or
• In any other environment where the risk of interference to other device or service is perceived
or identified as harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless equipment in a specific
organization or environment (e.g., airplane), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use
this device prior to turning on the equipment.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by
unauthorized modification of the device, or the substitution, or attachment of connecting cables
and equipment other than specified by the manufacturer. The correction of interference caused by
such unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment will be the responsibility of the user.
The manufacturer and its authorized resellers or distributors are not liable for any damaged or
violation of government regulations that may arise from failing to comply with these guidelines.
Canada - Industry Canada (IC)
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.
cet appareil de la class B respecte toutes les exigences du Reglement sur le matereil brouiller du
Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for
successful communication.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 4dB.
Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The
required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

Integral and External Antenna Configurations
Except where noted the operation distance between the antenna and any other person’s body
(including hands, wrists, feet and ankles) must be at least 20 cm (8 in.).
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
Caution: To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the following antenna
installation and device operating configurations must be satisfied for integral and external antenna
configurations:
• The operation distance between the antenna and any other person’s body (including hands,
wrists, feet and ankles) must be at least 20 cm (8 in) unless indicated.
• The RBTBH-R2W is only approved for use with the external antenna models listed in the following
table.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
• When an external antenna (outdoor or indoor Range Extender Antenna) is connected to the radio
card, channel 52 and below are removed from the available channel list of the AP. If the AP is
already active on one of those channels when an antenna is plugged in, the AP automatically
switched to a country approved channel. To make channel 52 active again when using an Indoor
Range Extender Antenna, select Indoor Range Extender via the console or SNMP (AP
Manager).
• To meet FCC limits, our high-gain outdoor antennas cannot be used with channel 52.
• When an external antenna is connected, channel 64 is lowered by 2 dB for outdoor antennas, but
runs at full power when the Indoor Range Extender option is selected via the console or SNMP
(AP Manager).

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encourage to try to correct the
interference by one or more of following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
• If you have a problem with your wireless equipment, such as interference from your
