If you are using the CN3300 outside of the USA, set the country that the CN3300 is operating in on the Management > Country page. 5Configure the wireless network.By default the CN3300 is configured to:• automatically choose the best operating channel (frequency) • automatically choose the optimum power level • create a wireless network named “Colubris Networks” There is no need to change these settings for most installations. 6Configure the Internet connection a. Connect the Internet port to your Internet connection. b. Open the Network > Ports > Internet port page. c. Select the addressing option supported by your ISP, click Configure, and define all settings as required by your ISP. 7Enable local mode This will let you test the CN3300 without using a RADIUS server to authenticate customers. Authentication is handled by the CN3300. a. Open the Security > Authentication page. b. Disable CN3300 RADIUS authentication. c. Open the Security > Users page. d. Add usernames and passwords for one or more test customers. 8Test the public access interfaceTo test your installation, use a wireless client station to log onto the public access interface. (For this to work, the CN3300 must be configured as the client’s default gateway. This is done by default if the wireless client is using DHCP.)Note: By default, the CN3300 has radio 1 set to B/G mode, and radio 2 set to Monitor mode (scanning only), therefore the wireless client station must have either a B or G radio.a. Start the client station’s web browser and enter the IP address (or domain name) of a web site on the Internet.b. The CN3300 should intercept the URL and display the Login page. (Depending on the type of certificate that is installed on the CN3300, you may see a security warning first.)c. Specify a valid customer name and password to login.d. The Session page will open. e. Next, you are automatically redirected to the web site you originally requested. The CN3300 is now ready for operation.Refer to the CN3300 Administrator’s Guide and the Public Access Interface Administrator’s Guide for additional configuration information.

Operation of the CN3300 in a system is subject to the following two conditions:• This device may not cause harmful interference.• This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency RadiationThe radiated output power of the CN3300 is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the CN3300 should be used in such a manner as to minimize the potential for human contact during normal operation. When using this device in combination with Colubris Networks antenna products, a certain separation distance between the antenna and nearby persons has to be kept to ensure FR exposure compliance.Refer to the Regulatory Statements as identified in the documentation that comes with those products for additional information.When an external antenna is connected to the CN3300 it shall be placed in such a manner as to minimize the potential for human contact during normal operation. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.When no external antenna is connected, the RF output power of the CN3300 is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, it is advised to use the CN3300 in such a manner that human contact during normal operation is minimized.Interference StatementThe CN3300 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.The CN3300 generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.If the CN3300 causes harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the CN3300 on and off, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the distance between the CN3300 and the receiver.• Connect the CN3300 to an outlet on a circuit different from that which the receiver is connected.• Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Colubris Networks Inc. is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modification of the CN3300, or the substitution or attachment of connecting cables and equipment other than that specified by Colubris Networks Inc. The correction of interference caused by such unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment is the responsibility of the user.Health InformationThe CN3300, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by the CN3300 is much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless devices, such as mobile phones.Because the CN3300 operates within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Colubris Networks believes that the CN3300 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.In some situations or environments, the use of the CN3300 may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may, for example, include:• Using the CN3300 on board airplanes or,• In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful.If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless devices in a specific organization or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the CN3300 prior to turning it on.This device requires professional installation.
