IO Access Points are oriented to next generation high-speed wireless access. The Access Point Configuration is controlled through GUI and WLC. BLE Support is also available for initial configuration for all the APs. Following are the variants of IO product family: 1. Dual Band 4x4:4 Indoor Access Point (ion8i). 2. Dual Band 4x4:4 Outdoor Access Point (ion8/ion8e). 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 in s tallatio n . 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: 1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 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. 15 CONFIDENTIA L Indoor & Outdoor Access Points 3.1 Dual Band 4x4:4 Indoor Access Point Technical specifications of this variant are given below: Revision: A0-09 Figure 1: Dual Band 4x4:4 Indoor Access Point - Specifications & Highlights-1 16 CONFIDENTIA L Indoor & Outdoor Access Points Revision: A0-09 Figure 2: Dual Band 4x4:4 Indoor Access Point - Specifications & Highlights-2 17 CONFIDENTIA L Indoor & Outdoor Access Points Revision: A0-09 3.2 Dual Band 4x4:4 Outdoor Access Point (ion8/ion8e) The Dual Band 4x4:4 outdoor Access Point has two factory fitted variants: one with integrated antennas (ion4) and the other with connectors for external antennas (ion4e).
