Gemtek Systems Page 4 of 60 Within the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz band (5GHz radio channels 34 to 48) the U-NII devices are restricted to indoor operations to reduce any potential harmful interference to MSS operations. FCC Warning FCC 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 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. Gemtek Systems declares that P-780 & P-781( FCC ID: MXF-AP931229AG & FCC ID: MXF-AP931229AG1 is limited in CH1~CH11 for 2.4GHz by specified firmware controlled in U.S.A.

Gemtek Systems Page 5 of 60 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 8 dBi. 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. 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. Note: This User's Guide is for P-781 Use P-780 is for with two radio cards P-781 is for with one radio card 

If one channel is defined, it acts as default channel. Channels list will vary depending on 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 11 for 11b/g or channels 36, 40 and 64 for 11a. Band – working bands on which your radios are working. 16 dBm 4.5 dBi

A-807 is 4.5dBi in 2.4GHz, 7dBi in 5GHz. A-807 antenna is the accessory of P-780 Product. RTS Threshold – when set, this settings specifies the maximum packet size beyond which RTS/CTS mechanism is be invokes. The value range of this is [0 …2347]. Default is 2346 which means that RTS is disabled. 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. For such each change of settings, the P-780 needs to be restarted to apply all settings changes when clicking Apply Changes.

P-780 User’s Guide v1.2 February 7, 2005 Gemtek Systems Page 37 of 60 Wireless | Advance P-780 supports Multiple BSSID (MBSSID) function. You can configure up to 16 BSSIDs per radio on P-780 and assign different configuration settings to each BSSID. For wireless users, they can think P-780 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, and Security for each SSID. Each BSSID can have its own SSID, In this case, Multiple BSSID is the same with Multiple ESSID. Wireless users can think P-780 as multiple virtual APs, each supporting different service, and connects one SSID for the special services. Also, P-780 supports Bridge function, it can support up to 20 Bridge links per radio. Different bridge link can use different WEP key index. AP Mode: Figure 36 – Advanced Wireless Setting (AP Mode) Radio – specify which RF card (wlan1 or wlan2) is needed to be configured since P-780 has two Dual-Band radios Mode – specify the operation mode of P-780 (AP or Bridge) Interface – Choose the specified MBSSID entry you want to configure.

WPA-PSK or static WEP can be used for encrypt each bridge link Each Bridge link can have its own WEP key/keyIndex for encryption. Only WEP can be used as security policy for Bridge links now. More enhanced security policy is in developing. By default, four WEP keys are all set to “aaaaa”. They can be modified in Wireless | WEP. Wireless | WEP Use the Wireless | WEP menu to configure static WEP settings. This menu only set static WEP key value related with 4 key indexes for each RF card (wlan1 or wlan2). Enable or Disable static WEP is in the Wireless | Advance menu. Figure 42 – WEP Settings Radio – specify which RF card (wlan1 or wlan2) is needed to be set.

Figure 43 – Edit WEP Key Wireless | MAC ACL Use the MAC ACL service to control the default access to the wireless interface of the P-780 or define special access rules for mobile clients. Configure the ACL using the Wireless | MAC ACL menu: Figure 44 – MAC ACL Service Radio – Two wireless interfaces wlan1 and wlan2 can be selected for each radio’s MAC ACL rules. Only AP mode has the MAC ACL service. The wireless interface whose mode is Bridge hasn’t MAC ACL settings. Policy Setting – click the edit button to choose Allow, Deny or disable the access control service on device. By default the ACL service is disabled and all wireless clients connecting to the P-780 are allowed (no ACL rules are applied to the wireless clients). Select Allow means only the wireless clients whose MAC are listed in the MAC List would be permitted to access this AP. Other wireless client cannot access this AP. Select Deny means only the wireless clients whose MAC are listed in the MAC List would be prevented from accessing. Other wireless clients can access this AP. Select Disabled means no ACL service.
