This guide explains how to install and start the CN200. For detailed configuration and operating information download the CN200
Administrator’s Guide from the Colubris Networks web site atd: register.colubris.com
Anatomy
Installation
Important: Installation must be performed by a professional installer familiar
with local regulations governing wireless devices.
Important: Shielded Ethernet cables must be used for all connections.
Important: Do not connect the LAN or Internet port directly to a metropolitan
area network (MAN) or wide area network (WAN).
Important: CH 36, 40, 44, 48 for Indoor use only (5.15-5.25GHz)
When mounting the CN200 on a wall, ceiling or other surface, make sure
that:
• the surface you attach the CN200 to and the fasteners you use are
able to support at least 5.1 kg (11.25 pounds)
• cable pull (accidental or otherwise), must not make the unit exceed
the 5.1 kg (11.25 pound) limit
Plenum installations
Plenum rated cables and attachment hardware must be used if the CN200
is installed in a plenum. Since the CN200 power adapter (optional) is not
rated for plenum installations, only the CN200 and appropriate cabling
can be located in the plenum.
Note: Colubris Networks supplied PoE injectors (available separately)
cannot be installed inside the plenum.
Configuration
To configure the CN200, you use the Web-based management tool built
into the CN200. You access this tool by establishing a Web browser
connection to the CN200. You must use a JavaScript-enabled Web
browser (Netscape 7.1 or higher, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or
higher with all applicable updates), to do this.
1Connect two antennas.
Use the following antennas (sold separately):
Both the Main and Aux antennas are used to transmit and receive. If a
single antenna is used, it can be attached to either connector,
although it is recommended that the Main connector be used.
The connectors are reverse-polarity SMA male jacks. This means
antennas or cable connectors must be SMA female connectors with
reverse polarity. Antennas should be 2 dBi or less and can be either
directly attached or attached via a coax cable.

Regulatory information
The CN200 complies with the following radio frequency and safety
standards.
Canada - Industry Canada (IC)
This device complies with RSS 210 of Industry Canada.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003
et CNR 210 d’Industrie Canada.
Europe - EU Declaration of Conformity
This device is for indoor use only.
Important: Users must select the proper country of operation in the
management tool to ensure wireless operational settings conform to local
regulations.
Important: If more than one unit is deployed users must ensure that the
operating frequencies are spread amoung different channels (according to
channel availability).
USA - Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
The CN200 complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation of the CN200 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 Radiation
The radiated output power of the CN200 is far below the FCC radio
frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the CN200 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 CN200 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
CN200 is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, it is advised to use the CN200 in such a manner that human
contact during normal operation is minimized.
Interference Statement
The CN200 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 CN200 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 CN200 causes harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the CN200 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 CN200 and the receiver.
• Connect the CN200 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 CN200, 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 Information
The CN200, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by the CN200 is
much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless
devices, such as mobile phones.
Because the CN200 operates within the guidelines found in radio
frequency safety standards and recommendations, Colubris Networks
believes that the CN200 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 CN200 may be
restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives
of the organization. These situations may, for example, include:
• Using the CN200 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 CN200 prior to turning it
on.
This device requires professional installation. CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Colubris Networks for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
