FCC Notice
The Young Design, Inc. wireless Ethernet equipment described herein
complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment when installed as directed. The equipment should be installed
and operated as fix-mounted antennas such that the main lobe(s) of these
antennas are located a minimum of 2 meters between the antenna and all
persons during normal operation.
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.
2)
This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC ID NO: NM5-ETH-ANT
FCC Notice
This antenna/transmitter device must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent
structures with a separation distance of at least 2 meters from all persons. Users and
installers must adhere to the antenna installation instructions and transmitter operating
conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance set forth under Part 15 of the FCC
regulations.

Flat Panel Antenna with Wireless Ethernet Adapter
1.1 Description
The YDI Ether-Ant described in this
manual is an 18dBi gain flat panel
directional antenna with a built-in
wireless Ethernet adapter. The
equipment is 802.11b WiFiTM compliant.
The antenna provides outdoor highspeed wireless connectivity for desktop
PCs, laptop computers and routers
equipped with a 10BaseT Ethernet port.
The antenna offers the simplest, most
efficient 2.4 GHz wireless Internet
access solution for Ethernet-enabled
desktop PCs. It will communicate with
any other wireless clients that are 100%
WiFiTM compatible. It is ideal for use as
a client station device for wireless
Internet applications. Built-in voltage
regulators allow the antenna to operate
from 7– 15VDC sources. A suitable AC
adapter designed for 110VAC is
included with the antenna kit.
1.2 Configuration Utility Software
The Configuration Utility Software (Utility) used with the Ether-Ant can be installed on a
PC or workstation running Windows. The utility is a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
program that allows the user to locally or remotely display units running on the local
network and view/modify configurations for those units. The software communicates
with the antenna using a non-routable protocol, so the unit must be accessible on the
same subnet as the computer that has the installed Utility.
Using Windows, the Utility installs from a CD-Rom included in the unit. When the user
executes the Utility setup file, the software begins the installation program taking the
user through a step-by-step process.
1.3 Configuring the Ether-Ant
Use the Configuration Utility to configure the Ether-Ant. The Main Configuration screen
for any selected device contains settings that can be configured for Radio and Network
interfaces.
The Radio settings initialize the antenna’s built-in radio and configure the new device to
join a designated wireless network. The Network settings connect the new device to the
existing Ethernet LAN. The subnet and IP addresses of the network the user intends to
connect to are required for this configuration.
1.4 Installation
FCC NOTICE: This antenna/transmitter device must be fixed-mounted on
outdoor permanent structures with a separation distance of at least 2 meters
from all persons. Users and installers must adhere to the antenna installation
instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure
compliance set forth under Part 15 of the FCC regulations .
The YDI Ether-Ant has a built-in radio so that professional antenna installation is not
required. Because the antenna uses the PC’s existing Ethernet interface, there are no
drivers to install for this device. There are no radio frequency (RF) cables because the
radio device is built right into the antenna. The antenna is intended to be a pole or wallmounted outdoor installation.
The Ether-Ant installation procedures are described below.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Connect the Ethernet cable included in the antenna kit to the flat panel antenna
using the 6-pin N-male connector. Up to 200 feet can be used.
Use brackets and screws to mount the flat panel to the antenna mast.
Connect the Ethernet cable attached to the antenna to the Cat 5 DC Power
Injector at the RJ-45 port labeled “To ANT.”
Connect the Ethernet cable labeled “To PC or ROUTER” extending from the Cat
5 DC Power Injector to your computer, router or optional lightning protector.
Plug the AC Adapter into an AC outlet and connect to the jack on the Cat 5 DC
Power Injector labeled “DC Power.”
Ensure that the Power and Ethernet LEDs are lit on the back of the Ether-Ant.
A steady green Power LED indicates that power is being supplied to the antenna. The
interface LEDs show a steady green light when there is a valid link. A flickering amber
light indicates activity on the Ethernet interface.
1.5 Aiming the Antenna and Checking Signal Strength
The most important issue regarding installing the YDI Ether-Ant is to determine the
optimal positioning for the device and to ensure clear line of sight to the base station.
The Configuration Utility has built-in signal strength indicators, which can be used to
aim the antenna properly.
