It is intended as a supplement to training and documentation by BelAir Networks Inc. or its authorized agents. January 2004 PM20001-001 version 3 Page 2 of 12 BEL20001 Product Manual 5 GHz WLAN Radio Module Introduction The BEL20001 (hereafter referred to as the module) is a 5 GHz radio module compatible with the IEEE 802.11 standard for Wireless LAN operation. It is designed to be interoperable with WLAN products which are based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology. The module contains a complete 802.11a radio and Medium Access Control
(MAC) protocol engine which allows implementation of an 802.11a device. The module is not intended for stand-alone operation. It will only be marketed as a complete product, in conjunction with a package, DC power supply and antenna (hereafter referred to as the product or the final product). Since the module has a BelAir networks proprietary digital interface, it cannot be directly connected to any standard telecommunications or computer devices. It can only be used with final products designed and authorized specifically for that purpose.

January 2004 PM20001-001 version 3 Page 5 of 12 BEL20001 Product Manual 5 GHz WLAN Radio Module Module Installation and Service Installation into a Product The module shall only be installed by a technician trained by BelAir Networks or its authorized agents. It should only be installed into an approved product
(see above) following all manufacturing and service procedures for that product. The module should only be installed into a final product in a manufacturing or service depot site. Caution: BEL20001 is an electro-static discharge (ESD) sensitive device. All appropriate ESD measures must be taken when handling the module. Failure to employ appropriate ESD protection may damage the module. The module is not intended as a field-serviceable unit. It contains no field-
replaceable or field-serviceable parts, or any external adjustable mechanisms. The module should only be serviced in a manufacturing or service depot site approved by BelAir Networks or its authorized agents. Module Service January 2004 PM20001-001 version 3 Page 6 of 12 BEL20001 Product Manual 5 GHz WLAN Radio Module Final Product Requirements Antenna Usage The requirements below apply to any final product in which the BEL20001 module is installed. BEL20001 module shall only be used in conjunction with the following antenna types:
BelAir Networks model: BEL20007, 15 dBi directional antenna, horizontal beamwidth 45 degrees. Warning:
expressly listed above will void authority to install or operate this equipment. Use of this module in conjunction with any antenna not Product Installation Products which contain BEL20001 shall only be installed by professional installers trained by BelAir Networks or its authorized agents. In addition to normal installation procedures and good installation practice, professional installers are responsible to ensure that:
1. Only an approved antenna (see above) is connected to the module, 2. The antenna is mounted in such a manner and in such a location that access to the antenna by the general population is minimized. Access to the antenna by the general population should be limited to greater than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation. 3. Only the approved BelAir Networks AC power cable (model BMC200003) may be used when this module is deployed with the BelAir200 product. Use of any other power cable may void the regulatory approvals of the BelAir200 and is prohibited. Adherence to these rules by the professional installer is mandatory. See full installation procedures for the particular product for details.
