IO Access Points are oriented to next generation high-speed wireless access. The Access Point Configuration is controlled through GUI and WLC. Following are the variants of IO product family:
1. Dual Band 2x2:2 Indoor Access Point (ion4i). 3 Federal Communication Commission Certified These equipment are 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. These 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 these equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, 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:
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 2. 3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. 4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC Caution:
To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. (Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices). FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
These equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. These equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. These devices complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. These devices may not cause harmful interference 2. These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

CONFIDENTIAL 70 2x2 Indoor Access Point Revision: A0-00 16.3 Network/Mesh configuration of thick AP A wireless mesh network serves as a network of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. All APs participating in mesh topology does not need to have a wired connection for backhaul connectivity and only one root AP serves that purpose. Mesh configuration require access points to operate in two operating modes as follows:
1. Root Access Points: Root Access Points have wired connections, for example, Ethernet backhaul to a wired network and to Wireless LAN Controller. 2. Repeater: Repeats wireless signals to extend range without being connected with cable to Access Point, or with clients. Mesh configuration allows access points to connect with each other in mesh topology. An access point (Root AP) is connected to the wired network with the use of wireless connections over the 802.11 radio backhaul and other access points act as repeaters in mesh topology.

SSID 7. Encryption Description encryption parameters. For a successful mesh configuration the SSID and the encryption parameters of root and repeater APs should match with each other Enter a unique name for the mesh SSID. Only a single SSID is used throughout the mesh network. This SSID operates in two hidden modes, one as master (receiver) and the other as managed (provider). Between a root AP and repeater AP, the managed mode of the root AP SSID connects with the master mode of the repeater AP. Between two repeater APs, the managed mode SSID of the 1st repeater AP connects with the master mode of the next repeater AP. This way all APs are connected wirelessly with each other in a mesh network. If any of the repeater is missing from the mesh network, the associated repeater AP connects itself with the next available repeater or Root AP in a similar way as discussed above Select the encryption protocol from the dropdown list

CONFIDENTIA L 77 2x2 Indoor & Outdoor Access Points Revision: A0-00 16.3 Network/Mesh configuration of thick AP A wireless mesh network serves as a network of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. All APs participating in mesh topology does not need to have a wired connection for backhaul connectivity and only one root AP serves that purpose. Mesh configuration require access points to operate in two operating modes as follows:
1. Root Access Points: Root Access Points have wired connections, for example, Ethernet backhaul to a wired network and to Wireless LAN Controller. 2. Repeater: Repeats wireless signals to extend range without being connected with cable to Access Point, or with clients. Mesh configuration allows access points to connect with each other in mesh topology. An access point (Root AP) is connected to the wired network with the use of wireless connections over the 802.11 radio backhaul and other access points act as repeaters in mesh topology. A basic overview of the mesh configuration screen for thick AP is given below:

(Auto/Manual). In case of Auto the connection between and root AP and repeater AP is fixed automatically and in case of manual the user need to define the SSID and CONFIDENTIA L 78 2x2 Indoor & Outdoor Access Points Revision: A0-00 Callout Name 6. SSID 7. Encryption Description encryption parameters. For a successful mesh configuration the SSID and the encryption parameters of root and repeater APs should match with each other Enter a unique name for the mesh SSID. Only a single SSID is used throughout the mesh network. This SSID operates in two hidden modes, one as master (receiver) and the other as managed (provider). Between a root AP and repeater AP, the managed mode of the root AP SSID connects with the master mode of the repeater AP. Between two repeater APs, the managed mode SSID of the 1st repeater AP connects with the master mode of the next repeater AP. This way all APs are connected wirelessly with each other in a mesh network. If any of the repeater is missing from the mesh network, the associated repeater AP connects itself with the next available repeater or Root AP in a similar way as discussed above Select the encryption protocol from the dropdown list
(Open/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK/ WPA2-PSK_Mixed_Mode). No passphrase is needed in case of Open type network authentication protocol Click Save & Apply to save the advanced parameters of SSID configuration or click Reset to configure the same again. CONFIDENTIA L 79
