CAUTION:
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15GHz to 5.25GHz
frequency range. The FCC requires this product to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15GHz
to 5.25GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.
High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25GHz to 5.35GHz and 5.65GHz to 5.85GHz bands.
These radar stations can cause interference with this device or can cause damage to this device, or both.
The APL46-0D1 device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 14.60 dBi at 5
GHz and 12.91 dBi at 2.4 GHz. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited. The required antenna
impedance is 50 ohms. Only antennas approved by Sonicwall are allowed.
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is required on all Wireless LAN Master devices (usually Access Points) and
Wireless LAN Clients (usually Wireless NICs) that operate within 5470MHz – 5725MHz. SonicWaves that have
these frequencies and channels enabled in this range comply with North American and International DFS
requirements. Some frequencies are blocked, and cannot be selected by the user per each specific regional
approval.
Specific to the USA, at the urging of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) user/installers should avoid
operation frequencies near Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) systems frequencies 5600-5650 MHz
when installing a SonicWave within 35km of line-of-site of TDWR sites. If TDWR is within 35km the SonicWave,
frequencies should be set to at least 30MHz above or below any TDWR system frequency at that site. TDWR
locations and specific frequencies used can be found at http://spectrumbridge.com/udrs/home.aspx. Detailed
current and background information can be found at http://www.wispa.org/?page_id=2341.
