FCC Caution
Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
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, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been 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. This 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 this 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 or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the
device include it's antennas and your body.
IC warning
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de
licence.L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique
à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la
puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à
l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II) has
been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum
permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not
included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son
numéro de modèle s'il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie
Canada pour
fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible
maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus
dans cette liste,
ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour
l'exploitation de l'émetteur.
This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator &
your body
Cet équipement devrait être installé et actionné avec la distance minimum 20cm entre le radiateur et
votre corps

Wireless
Before changing radio settings manually verify that your settings will comply with local
government regulations. At all times, it is the responsibility of the end-user to ensure that
the installation complies with local radio regulations.
The APC device can operate in four wireless modes: Access Point (autoWDS), Access Point (iPoll 2),
Station (auto iPoll 2) and Station (ARPNAT).
Figure 13 – Device Wireless Operating Mode
Depending on the wireless operation mode selection some of the displayed configuration parameters
will differ (e.g. security or advanced wireless settings).
Operating mode – select wireless operation mode:

Access Point (auto WDS) – enables the APC function as an access point to connect multiple
wireless clients. Auto WDS mode allows connect wireless clients with and without WDS enabled
(the packet forwarding at layer 2 level).
Access Point (iPoll 2) – enables APC radio function as access point for point-to-multipoint
solution. The Access Point communicates with Station in iPoll 2 protocol, other clients requests
will be not accepted.
Station (auto iPoll 2) – with this wireless mode the APC will act as Station and will automatically
turn on iPoll 2 mode if detects that selected AP is operating in iPoll 2 protocol.
Station (ARPNAT) – in this mode Station connects to other radios operating as an Access Point.

Appendix
A) Resetting Device to Factory Defaults
Device has the capability of being reset to defaults by pinging the device with a certain packet size
when the radio is booting. During the startup of the device, when the drivers of the Ethernet interfaces
are loaded, the discovery daemon is started. The daemon suspends startup process for 3 seconds
and waits for ICMP "echo request" packet of length 369 bytes. If the packet received, the
discoveryd resets the device to default configuration.
It is recommended to connect PC to the device via switch, as depending on PC OS
settings, the ARP table might be flushed during wired link status change (connecting the
device that will be reset).
Steps to reset to default settings:
Step 1.
Power off the APC device.
Step 2.
Obtain the device MAC address.
Step 3.
Connect a PC to the same physical subnet as the device.
Step 4.
Execute 'arp -s' command to assign the IP address (IP address should be from the
same subnet as PC) to the device MAC address:
arp -s <IP address to assign> <device MAC address>
Note that syntax of MAC address differs depending on OS:
ƒ
ƒ
Step 5.
Linux OS: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
Windows OS: AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF
Start ping the device:
For Linux users: ping <IP address> -s 369
For Windows users: ping <IP address> -l 369 -t -w 0.2
Step 6.
Power up APC device and wait about 30sec or more (depending on device hardware).
Step 7.
Stop pinging the device, and let the device boot as usual. The device should start up
with factory default settings.
