Countries of Operation & Restrictions of Use in the European Community

Operation Using the 2.400 to 2.4835 GHz Channels in the European Community

The professional installer should use the configuration utility provided with this product to verify the current channel of operation, the expected transmit power level, and to confirm that the device is operating in conformance with the spectrum usage rules for the selected European Community country. If operation is occurring outside of the allowable channels as indicated in this guide, then operation of the product must cease immediately and the installer must consult with the local technical support staff responsible for the wireless network.

This device is intended to be operated in all countries of the European Community. Additional restrictions of use for the 2332-E1 and related Series 2332 access points within the European Community countries in the 2.400 to 2.4835 GHz band are listed below.

•The frequencies associated with channels 1 to 13 in the 2.400 to 2.4835 GHz band are allowed to be used either indoors or outdoors in all countries of the European Community, except where noted below:

•In Greece, Italy, Latvia, and Spain the end-user must apply for a license from the national spectrum authority to operate this device outdoors. Please consult the Nortel WLAN 2300 Series Outdoor Solutions Guide for further information regarding restrictions and operating conditions for outdoor configurations.

•In France, the following operation is permitted:

—Outdoor operation is only permitted using the 2.400 - 2.454 GHz band, which includes channels 1 to 7, at a maximum EIRP of 100 mW (20 dBm).

—Outdoor operation is permitted in the 2.400 to 2.4835 GHz band on channels 1 to 13 at a maximum EIRP of 10 mW (10 dBm).

—Indoor operation is permitted in the 2.400 to 2.4835 GHz band on channels 1 to 13 at a maximum EIRP of 100 mW (20 dBm).

The 2332-E1 and related Series 2332 access points, whether using the internal or approved external antennas, are guaranteed to meet this limit by automatically adjusting the transmit power level through the operating software depending upon the gain of the selected antenna.

Operation Using the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz, 5.25 to 5.35 GHz, and 5.470 to 5.725 GHz Channels in the European Community

To remain in conformance with European National spectrum usage laws, follow the channel limitations associated with the 5 GHz bands as specified in this document. The professional installer should verify the current channel of operation and the expected transmit power level of the WLAN 2332-E1 or related Series 2332 access point to confirm that the device is operating in conformance with the spectrum usage rules for the European Community country where the unit is being installed. If operation is occurring outside of the allowable frequencies or above the power levels, as indicated in this guide, then operation of the product must cease immediately and the installer must consult with the local technical support staff responsible for the wireless network.

This device is intended to be operated in all countries of the European Community. Additional restrictions of use for the 2332-E1 and related Series 2332 access points within the European Community countries in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz, 5.25 to 5.35 GHz, and 5.470 to 5.725 GHz bands are listed below.

•This device is restricted to indoor use only when operated in the European Community using the

5.15-5.25 GHz and 5.25-5.35 GHz bands, which includes channels 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60 & 64.

•The 5 GHz Turbo Mode feature is not allowed for operation in any European Community country.

•Operation for the 2332-E1 is restricted to the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz band. No operation is permitted in either the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz or 5.470 to 5.725 GHz bands because the device is noncompliant with the DFS requirements stated in EN 301-893 v1.3.1.
