FCC CAUTION
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 Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Preface
Package Contents
4ipnet OWL550 Access Point is an enterprise-grade
dual radio 802.11 a/b/g/n + ac Wave 2 Access Point
with the best performance for business and
industrial applications. Featuring two 2x2 MIMO
radios, the OWL550 can simultaneously support up
to 300 and 867 Mbps data rates in the 2.4 and 5
GHz bands respectively.
OWL550 is compliant with the latest industrial
wireless security standards such as 802.1X and Wi-
Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) which are
required in the tightly secured enterprise network
environments. Furthermore, OWL550 also features
multiple ESSIDs with VLAN tags and multiple Virtual
APs; great for enterprise applications, such as
separating traffic from different departments using
different ESSIDs.
As an Access Point, OWL550 supports wall
mounting and poll mounting for different deployment
environments. Besides OWL550’s PoE uplink port is
able to receive power from Power over Ethernet
(PoE) sourcing devices, its LAN port also supports
PoE with 802.11at standard which make network
deployment more convenient and easier.

Pole mount
1. Insert the metal strips through the pole mountinggap.
2. Join the two ends of the metal strips and adjust the length for tight fitting around the pole.
2. Connect the OWL550 to your network device.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN1 (PoE) port of OWL550 and the other end of the cable to a
switch, a router, or a hub. OWL550 is then connected to your existing wired LAN network.
3. Power on the OWL550.
OWL550 LAN1 (PoE) port is capable of receiving DC currents. Connect an IEEE 802.3at-compliant PSE
device (e.g. a PoE-switch) to the LAN1 (PoE) port of OWL550 with the Ethernet cable.
Now, the Hardware Installation is complete.
To verify the wired connection between OWL550 and your switch / router / hub, please also
check the LED indicator of the respective network devices.
