Ordering Information and Nomenclature
To build a system, follow these simple steps:
- Begin with the Access Point (AP), Extension Point (EP), Serial
Adapter (SA), or Ethernet Adapter (EA). These products all come
standard with Reverse TNC-male connectors only.
- Choose an antenna. Most antennas come with two cable options, one
of which allows direct connection to the AP, EP, SA, or EA with no
adapter.
- Select a cable (if necessary). Cables come in varying lengths and
with various connector options. Cables may be joined up to a maximum
length of 100 feet (30 meters), but it is recommended that no more
than two cables be joined on a cable run.
- Select a connector adapter if needed to join your chosen antenna
to the appropriate cable. (Note that cable adapters are not sold in
the U.S.)
Due to FCC regulations, U.S. customers must design and install
systems using Reverse TNC (RTNC) connectors only. Cables and antennas
with RTNC connectors carry the suffix "-05". Thus, when
ordering the 7013 Omnidirectional Antenna, the proper order number for a
system to be installed in the U.S. would be "7013-05".
Outside the U.S., local regulations may dictate such things as
maximum power output, connector or antenna choice. Check with local
authorities or your local Proxim reseller.
