Nortel WLAN—Access Point 2330 Quick Installation Guide
Regulatory Compliance Statements for WLAN Access Point 2330
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Notices
This section includes the following FCC statements for the WLAN Access Point 2330:
• Class B Interference Statement
• RF Radiation Exposure & Hazard Warning
• Non-Modification Statement
• Deployment Statement
Class B 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 when the
equipment is operated in either a commercial or residential environment. 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 communications, 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 communications technician for help.
FCC Caution:
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.
RF Radiation Exposure & Hazard Statement
To ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, this device must be installed in a location such that the
antenna of the device will be greater than 20 cm (8 in.) from all persons. Using higher gain antennas and types of
antennas not covered under the FCC certification of this product is not allowed. Installers of the radio and end users of
the product must adhere to the installation instructions provided in this manual.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Non-Modification Statement
Use only the supplied internal antenna, or external antennas supplied by the manufacturer. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the WLAN Access Point 2330 and violate FCC regulations. Any changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
this equipment.

320662-A
Deployment Statement
This product is certified for indoor deployment only. Do not install or use this product outdoors.
Canadian IC Statement
Operation is subject to the following two conditions in Canada:
1) this device may not cause interference, and
2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service (i.e. co-channel Mobile Satellite systems) this device is intended to
be operated 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 the 5250-5350 MHz band,
these radars could cause interference and/or damage to license exempt WLAN devices.

Countries of Operation & Conditions of Use in the European Community
The professional installer should use the configuration utility provided with this product to check the current channel of
operation and confirm that the device is operating in conformance with the spectrum usage rules for European
Community countries. If operation is occurring outside of the allowable channels as indicated in the Regulatory
Conformance Guide, then operation of the product must cease immediately and the installer must consult with the
local technical support staff responsible for the wireless network.
This device is intended to be operated in all countries of the European Community. Requirements for indoor versus
outdoor operation, license requirements and allowed channels of operation apply as described below.
• This device is restricted to indoor use when operated in the European Community using the 5.15-5.35 GHz
band, including Channels 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60 & 64. Consult the Regulatory Conformance Guide for
allowed 5 GHz channels by country.
• This device may be operated indoors or outdoors in all countries of the European Community using the 2.4
GHz band, including Channels 1 - 13, except where noted below.
• In Italy the end-user must apply for a license from the national spectrum authority to operate this device
outdoors.
• In Belgium outdoor operation is only permitted using the 2.46 - 2.4835 GHz band: Channel 13 and a license
is required for outdoor operation over 300 meters.
• In France outdoor operation is only permitted using the 2.4 - 2.454 GHz band: Channels 1 - 7.
• The 5GHz Turbo Mode feature is not allowed for operation in any European Community country.
Operation Using 5 GHz Channels in the European Community
To remain in conformance with European National spectrum usage laws, please consult the Regulatory Conformance
Guide for the channel limitations associated with the 5 GHz bands. The professional installer should verify the current
channel of operation of the WLAN Access Point 2330 and compare it to the allowable channels of operation in the
geographic region where the unit is being installed. If operation is occurring outside of the allowable frequencies as
listed in the guide, then operation of the product must cease immediately and the installer must consult with the local
technical support staff responsible for the wireless network.

Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
This device implements a DFS feature in accordance with the limits in EN 301 893 Version 1.2.3, Section 4.6 and Annex
D, Tables D.1, D.2 & D.4 for a device operating in the mode defined as “Master”. Section 4.6, Tables 6 and 7 of this
document define the requirements prior to using a channel and during normal operation for a Master device (i.e.,
Interference Detection Threshold, Channel Availability Check Time, Uniform Spreading, Channel Closing Transmission
Time and Channel Move Time). This product qualifies for this category since the maximum achievable transmit power is
greater than 23 dBm per the requirements of Table D.2 in Annex D of the standard.
External Antenna Statement
Intentional radiators, such as the Nortel Networks WLAN Access Point 2330 are not intended to be operated with any
antenna(s) other than those furnished by Nortel Networks. An intentional radiator may only be operated with the
antenna(s) with which it is authorized. For a complete listing of the authorized antennas for use with this product, visit
http://www.nortel.com/support.
In order to ensure continued compliance, use of an antenna not on the Nortel approved antenna list is not allowed
without specific authorization from Nortel Networks. For additional questions or inquiries regarding specific antennas,
contact Nortel at 1-800-4NORTEL, and use express routing code (ERC) 1572.
Use of an antenna not specifically authorized by Nortel Networks may not comply with local regulatory requirements
with respect to radiated emission limits and may result in illegal operation of the product. The installer of the wireless
system and associated antenna is required to ensure that only those antennas on the Nortel approved antenna list or those
antennas specifically approved by Nortel on a case by case basis are deployed with the intentional radiator.
Be sure to associate the appropriate antenna model number and localized regulatory region when selecting the Nortel
Networks authorized antenna(s).

Cable Requirement
The Ethernet ports on the 2330 access point cannot accept a Cat 5 cable that has an uneven sheath such as the one shown
in Figure 1. The RJ-45 connector on the cable will not seat properly in the receptacle on the 2330 access point. Use a Cat
5 cable with an even sheath instead.
