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 off 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 different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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.
FCC Caution
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator &
your body.
If this device is going to be operated in 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency range, then it is restricted in indoor
environment only.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and are firmware
programmed at the factory to match the intended destination.The firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 3
IC Warning
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause interference and
This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 7dBi.
Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required
antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for successful communication.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service (i.e. co-channel Mobile Satellite systems) we
intended to operate this device indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding.
Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.
Because high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) in 5250-5350
MHz, these radars could cause interference and/or damage to license exempt LAN devices.

Dynamic Channel Allocation (DCA) solution automatically selects optimal operational frequency
channel during power up and the periodically monitors the environment and adjusts for best
operational channel. DCA enhances BW2250 performance and provide continuous coverage under
high AP density wireless network environment.
Dynamic Wireless Bridging
Dynamic Wireless Bridging capability enables BW2250 to automatically seek and discovery potential
nearby root AP, and dynamically self-configures for wireless bridge connection. With this feature in a
BW2250 network, whenever a bridge link is fail over, the network will auto reconfigure route
structures to minimize the lost of WLAN operation. It also minimized the technician intervention and
cost of going on-site to re-establish transmission paths. Since the birding fail over and restoration is
almost seamless, the perceptible interruption of WLAN subscribers is also minimized.
Multiple BSSID “Virtual AP” Technology

The typical usage is: 11g AP + 11a AP.
Figure 7 – AP +AP application mode
Chapter 3 – Application Mode
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 21
Bridge+ Bridge Mode
Bridge + Bridge mode is used in the area without Ethernet wiring.
The typical usage is: 11a Bridge + 11a Bridge for Point to Multi-Point or for wireless Repeater.
Figure 8 – Bridge +Bridge application mode in Point to Multi-Point
Figure 9– Bridge +Bridge application mode as wireless repeater
Because of the antenna interference, the performance will deteriorate dramatically
if the same band (2.4GHz or 5GHz) is used both on the two RF modules.
It is strongly recommended that leave two external antennas apart, at least larger
than 1m. Thus antenna interference can be ignored.
If external antenna cannot be apart, it is strongly recommended that one RF
module is set 2.4GHz and the other is set 5GHz.

The full frequency range of the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz is not permitted for use in all countries. Depending
on your selection of regulatory domains, the available frequency channels will vary.
Before changing radio settings manually verify that your settings comply with
government regulations. At all times, it will be the responsibility of the end-user to
ensure that the installation complies with local radio regulations. Refer to the
Appendix:
.
Channel – select the channel that the access point will use to transmit and receive information. If one
channel is defined, it acts as default channel. Channels list will vary depending on selected regulatory
domain and selected band. Multiple frequency channels are used to avoid interference between two
radios of this AP, and between nearby access points. If you wish to operate more than one access
point in overlapping coverage areas, we recommend a distance of at least four channels between the
chosen channels. For example, for three Access Points in close proximity choose channels 1, 6 and

BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 44
5GHz (11a) or 5GHz(Turbo Mode 11a) – the radio will work on 5GHz 11A mode. 5GHz(Turbo
Mode 11a) can supply 108 raw data rate.
Only under Bridge mode, Turbo Mode 11a can be set.
Total Output Power (EIRP) –the BW2250 transmission output power (EIRP) in dBm.
Default is 16dBm&WORLD.
Total Output Power (EIRP) = Antenna Gain + RF card output power
Antenna: Type of Antenna, two items for choice. BA5070 is the approved antenna supplied by
Browan. Choose BA5070 antenna is used for meeting the limitation of regulatory domain. If you want
to gain a larger output power for the real usage, it is strongest recommended to select custom.
BA5070 antenna is the accessory of BW2250 Product.
Refer to the Appendix D for BA5070 Antenna Spec: D) Approved Antenna
If you want to gain a larger output power for the real usage, it is strongly
recommended to select custom.
RTS Threshold – when set, this setting specifies the maximum packet size beyond which RTS/CTS
mechanism is be invokes. The value range of this is [0 …2347]. Default is 2347, which means that
RTS is disabled.
Enable DCA – Enable or Disable DCA service. DCA can help to choose the best working channel
automatically. And static channel selection will be forbidden if DCA is enabled.
DCA (Dynamic Channel Allocation) solution automatically selects the optimal operational frequency
channel when power up and periodically monitors the environment and adjusts for the best
operational frequency channel.
DCA service is available only under 2.4GHz band.
DCA threshold – specify the value (in minutes) of DCA threshold. This threshold is been used to
judge if there is no wireless users connected during this time. And if yes, BW2250 will monitor the
environment and adjust channel for the best operational one.
If wireless network environment is stable which means auto channel selection
needn’t do frequently, set a big value for DCA threshold to gain a stable wireless
users’ connection.
If wireless network environment changes continually, frequent auto channel
selection is needed. So set a relative small value for DCA threshold to let channel
change based on wireless environment.
Wireless users’ will be kicked off when DCA is processing (site survey and new
operational frequency channel takes effect).
BROWAN COMMUNICATIONS Page 45
DCA optional channel – specify the channels only in which auto channel selection (DCA) will choose
for reducing interference reference.
Only when DCA is enabled, DCA threshold and DCA optional channel will be
shown.
Layer 2 Isolation – Layer2 wireless client separation. Connected clients with user isolation function
enabled cannot access each other directly. The clients are isolated from each other using their MAC
addresses [enabled/disabled].
Mode – two modes are supplied: AP mode and Bridge mode.
When Bridge mode is enabled, BW2250 can introduce a bridge loop if BW2250
Ethernet port is connected to your wired LAN. To avoid a bridge loop on your
network, disconnect BW2250 from the wired LAN before or soon after Bridge mode
is enabled.

BW2250 supports Multiple BSSID (MBSSID) function. You can configure up to 16 BSSIDs per radio
on BW2250 and assign different configuration settings to each BSSID. For wireless users, they can
think BW2250 as single AP with multi service supporting, including different security policy, different
VLAN ID, different authentication etc. All the BSSIDs are active at the same time that means client
devices can associate to the access point for specific service. Use the Wireless | Advance menu to
configure properties related to Multiple BSSID, including configure SSID, Hidden SSID, VLAN/QoS,
and Security for each SSID.
Each BSSID can have its own SSID, In this case, Multiple BSSID is the same with
