Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
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 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.
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.
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.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To
avoid the possibility of exceeding radio frequency exposure limits, you shall beep a distance of at least
100cm between you and the antenna of the installed equipment. This transmitter must not be co-located
or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country
dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The
firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Introduction
The DAP-3860 is a high-performance outdoor-deployable wireless bridge that provides wireless
connectivity among multiple network locations. The DAP-3860 has a built-in 23dBi planar antenna that can
deliver up to a 40Km connection. An external antenna may also be used to improve signal quality and
improve distance. The DAP-3860 allows for link aggregation by combining multiple links into one link with
greater transmission rate.
The DAP-3860 supports bridge mode,it allows for local area network (LANs) in different locations (buildings)
to be easily interconnected. The DAP-3860 delivers “last mile” broadband connectivity through its PTP and
PTMP capabilities.
The DAP-3860 allows to be operated on PTP mode in one card and on bridge in another. And with an
external omni antenna for bridge side may provide users with flexibility in various local coverage
applications.
With high throughput and long-distance transmission, the DAP-3860 is an ideal backhaul solution for
Carriers, Service Providers and Enterprises!

The DAP-3860 primary usage is as a relay or bridging technology that may be combined with cost effective
solar power solution allowing for telemedicine application in remote and rural environments. The
DAP-3860 is able to deliver stable and high performance broadband connectivity for typical telemedicine
applications in a Line-of-Sight environment.
Figure 2 Telemedicine Wireless Broadband

Chapter 1 Introduction 13
Education Broadband Wireless Application
School in remote area or rural areas can be provided with broadband connectivity via local Internet service
providers The relay ability of the DAP-3860 allows for multiple hops to be made thus allowing the
DAP-3860 to reach more remote LOS locations beyond 40Kms or to circumvent natural obstructions like
mountains..
Figure 3 Campus Wireless Broadband
Besides, the DAP-3860 can also be applied into the following environments:
Cost-effectively provide long distance backhaul for remote areas (like village, oil well, island,
mountain and etc.)
Establish local backhaul for campus, farm and factory
Provide and access for video streaming or surveillance for industrial and mining enterprises
Plays as a relay connecting different networks

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
This chapter describes safety precautions and product information you have to know and check before
installing DAP-3860.
Preparation before Installation
Professional Installation Required
1. Please seek assistance from a professional installer who is well trained in the RF installation and
knowledgeable in the local regulations.
2. The DAP-3860 is distributed through distributor and system installer with professional technicians and
will not be sold directly through retail store.
3. The equipment shall be installed in RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATIONS. Access can only be gained
by service persons or by users who have been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied
to the location and about any precautions that shall be taken. Furthermore, access is through the use
of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled b the authority responsible for the
location.
4. If you are intended to use an external antenna with the DAP-3860, please contact your
supplier/installer to ensure that your unit is set for you have fulfilled all the local regulatory requirements.
It is the responsibility of the installer/user to check that the equipment as deployed meets local
regulatory requirements.

Safety Precautions
For your safety and proper installation, please read and follow the instructions below:
ONLY qualified service personnel should service or disassemble this device;
When installing the device, note the followings:
-Do NOT use a metal ladder;
-Do NOT work on a windy or raining day;

-When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna. Strong RF fields
are present when the transmitter is on.
Ground the device properly with grounding wire to protect against lightening;
Use ONLY appropriate accessories for the device.
If the temperatures of the unit surface exceeds the limit, be precautious not to continuous held or
touch the device for a certain period of time.
