2-6. Wireless Interference Information

Notes

Do not use AP-500AC near the following devices or places.

• Microwave, pacemaker, etc. of industrial, scientific and medical devices
• Licensed radio station in a factory
• Small power radio station (A non-licensed radio station)

These devices may use the same band. If you use AP-500AC near these devices, the radio waves emitted from AP-500AC may interfere with them.

Do not use AP-500AC near a cellular phone, TV or Radio.

A cellular phone, TV and radio use a different radio band than our products. Generally, if they are used near AP-500AC, it will not cause any problems. However, when they approximate AP-500AC, sound or image noise may occur.

If there is reinforced concrete/metal between wireless devices, they may not connect.

AP-500AC can connect through wood or glass, but may have troubles connecting through reinforced concrete/metal.

AP-500AC complies with the certification of conformance to technical standards. Please pay attention to the following points:

• Please do not disassemble or remodel the product. Such action is prohibited by law.
• Please do not remove the certificate label. Using the product without a label is prohibited.

Wireless devices using 2.4GHz band

The same frequency band of AP-500AC is used for a microwave, industry, science, medical equipment and licensed in room or low power (non-licensed) radio stations.

• Before you use AP-500AC, check that it does not interfere with other devices.
• If interference occurs, stop using AP-500AC or change the wireless band. Please consider to create a wall between these devices to avoid interference. Contact us to for possible solution.

* The meaning of the symbols in the bottom of the unit:

DS/OF2.44

2.4 : Wireless devices using 2.4GHz frequency band

DS/OF : DS-SS or OFDM is used as modulation.

4: The range of interference is equal to or lower than 40m.

Notes on using 5GHz band

- Use of 5.2GHz band (W52) and 5.3GHz band (W53) outdoors is prohibited by the radio regulations.

DFS

AP-500AC supports DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) of the IEEE 802.11h wireless standard. When radar signals are detected, the channel will automatically be switched to avoid interference with radar systems (e.g. weather radar, etc).

One alternative channel can individually be set for W53/W56 channels beforehand, which will be used when radar signals are detected and the channel needs to be switched.

When alternative channels are not specified or radar signals are detected even for that channel, AP-500AC switches the channel in order of the following:

DFS Channels (5GHz band)

W53 HT20/VHT20 52 > 56 > 60 > 64 > 36
HT40/VHT40 + 52 > 60 > 36
VHT80 36
W56 HT20/VHT20 100 > 104 > 108 > 112 > 116 > 120 > 124 > 128 > 132 > 136 > 140
HT40/VHT40 + 100 > 108 > 116 > 124 > 132
VHT80 100 > 116, 104 > 120, 108 > 124, 112 > 128, 116 > 100, 120 > 104, 124 > 108, 128 > 112

• AP-500AC checks if there are radar signals on the DFS channels when it is powered on. During this time, no wireless communication is allowed to AP-500AC.
• If radar signals are detected during or after AP-500AC is powered on, the channel needs to be changed in order to avoid wireless interference. Therefore, if DFS channels are selected, the channel could be changed automatically.
• The radar signals are monitored for a certain amount of time (*) after it is detected, while wireless communication is disabled on AP-500AC then. Once radar signals are detected, the channel will not be available for 30 mins. (* This time period differs depending on the country.)

2-7. Notes on Security

Because a wireless LAN uses electromagnetic signals instead of a network cable to establish communication with network devices, it has the advantage of allowing devices to connect to the network easily. However, a disadvantage of this is that within a certain range, the electromagnetic signals can pass through barriers such as walls, and if security countermeasures are not implemented in some way, problems such as the following may occur.

• Communication is intercepted by a third party
• Unauthorized access to the network
• Leakage of personal information (ID and Card information)
• Spoofing and the falsification of intercepted data
• System crashes and data corruption

Nowadays, wireless LAN cards or access points are equipped with security measures that address such security problems, so that you can enable security-related settings for wireless LAN products in order to reduce the likelihood of problems occurring.

We recommend that you make yourself fully acquainted with the possible implications of what might happen if you use a wireless product without enabling security features, and that you configure security-related settings and use wireless products at your own responsibility.
