Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his/her own expense. Any changes or
modifications not expressly approved by PLANET could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment under the rules and regulations of the FCC.
FCC Caution:
To assure continued compliance, (example-use only shielded interface cables when connecting to
computer or peripheral devices) any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
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
(2) This Device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure set forth for an uncontrolled environment. In
order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity
to the antenna shall not be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.

CE Mark Warning
This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in
which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Note:
Limited by local law regulations, version for North America does not have region selection
option. Only channel 149~165 is available for American users. it is fixed at our factory before
the device is shipped.
Channel - This field determines which operating frequency will be used. The default channel is set to
Auto, so the AP will choose the best channel automatically. It is not necessary to change the wireless
channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access point.
Mode - Select the desired mode. The default setting is 11an mixed.
11a only - Select if all of your wireless clients are 802.11a.
11n only - Select if all of your wireless clients are 802.11n.
11an mixed - Select if you are using a mix of 802.11a, and 11n wireless clients.
Select the desired wireless mode. When 802.11a mode is selected, only 802.11a wireless
stations can connect to the AP. When 802.11n mode is selected, only 802.11n wireless
stations can connect to the AP. It is strongly recommended that you set the Mode to
802.11an mixed, and all wireless stations can connect to the AP.
Channel width - Select any channel width from the pull-down list. The default setting is
automatic, which can adjust the channel width for your clients automatically.
Note:
If 11a only or 11n only is selected in the Mode field, the Channel Width selecting field will turn
grey and the value will become 20M, which is unable to be changed.
Enable Wireless Radio - The wireless radio of this Router can be enabled or disabled to
allow wireless stations access.
Enable SSID Broadcast - When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks
to associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. If you select the Enable
SSID Broadcast checkbox, the Wireless Router will broadcast its name (SSID) on the air.
Enable WDS Bridging- Check this box to enable WDS. With this function, the Router can bridge two
or more WLANs. If this checkbox is selected, you will have to set the following parameters as shown
below. Make sure the following settings are correct
Energy Saving Note of the Device
This power required device does not support Standby mode operation.
For energy saving, please remove the DC-plug to disconnect the device from the power circuit.
Without remove the DC-plug, the device still consuming power from the power circuit. In the view of
Saving the Energy and reduce the unnecessary power consuming, it is strongly suggested to
remove the DC-plug for the device if this device is not intended to be active.
R&TTE Compliance Statement
This equipment complies with all the requirements of DIRECTIVE 1999/5/CE OF THE EUROPEAN
PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunication
terminal Equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (R&TTE).
The R&TTE Directive repeals and replaces in the directive 98/13/EEC (Telecommunications
Terminal Equipment and Satellite Earth Station Equipment) As of April 8, 2000.
II

Safety
This equipment is designed with the utmost care for the safety of those who install and use it.
However, special attention must be paid to the dangers of electric shock and static electricity when
working with electrical equipment. All guidelines of this and of the computer manufacture must
therefore be allowed at all times to ensure the safe use of the equipment.
WEEE regulation
To avoid the potential effects on the environment and human health as a result of the
presence of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, end users of
electrical and electronic equipment should understand the meaning of the crossed-out
wheeled bin symbol. Do not dispose of WEEE as unsorted municipal waste and have to
collect such WEEE separately.

1.2 Product Description
High Power Outdoor Wireless Coverage
PLANET Technology introduces the latest high power outdoor wireless LAN solution - the outdoor wireless AP,
WNAP-7206. It provides higher transmit power, better performance, and widely coverage than standard
outdoor wireless AP. The WNAP-7206 is compatible with IEEE 802.11a/n standard supporting the data rate up
to 150Mbps in 802.11n mode. The WNAP-7206 not only has built-in 15dBi panel Antenna but also reserves
one RP-SMA Type Antenna Connector to allow versatile antenna installations and multiple adjustable transmit
output power controller. Therefore, the WNAP-7206 is quite suitable for widely open space applications.
Multiple Operating & Wireless Modes
The WNAP-7206 supports multiple wireless communication connectivity (AP / Client CPE / WDS PtP / WDS
PtMP / Repeater / Universal Repeater) allowing for various application requirements and thus it gives users
more comprehensive experience when using the WNAP-7206. It helps users to easily build a wireless network
and extend the wireless range of existing wireless network.
The WNAP-7206 also supports WISP mode, so CPE users could easily connect to Internet via WISP provider
or connect to a wired network.

Advanced Security and Management
In aspect of security, besides 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption, the WNAP-7206 integrates WPA / WPA2,
WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK to secure and protect your wireless LAN. The wireless MAC filtering and SSID
broadcast control consolidate the wireless network security and prevent unauthorized wireless connection. To
fulfill enterprise and various applications demand, the WNAP-7206 enhances security and management
features such as multiple SSID support. It can create up to 4 virtual standalone AP with 4 different SSID
according to individual security level and encryption scheme of various wireless devices.
Highly Reliable Outdoor Device
The WNAP-7206 is perfectly suitable to be installed in outdoor environments and exposed locations. Its
built-in 15KV ESD and 4000V lightning protection can withstand storm and prevent damage from lightning
surges. Furthermore, the WNAP-7206 can perform stably under rigorous weather conditions including heavy
rain and wind by its Outdoor Weatherproof case protection. With the proprietary Power over Ethernet (PoE)
design, the WNAP-7206 can be easily applied in any area where power outlets are not available. It is the best
way using the WNAP-7206 to build outdoor wireless access applications between buildings on campuses,
business, rural areas and etc.
Easy Installation & Management
With User-friendly Web UI and step by step Setup Wizard, the WNAP-7206 is easier to install, even for users
who never experience setting up a wireless network. Furthermore, with SNMP-Based management interface,
the WNAP-7206 is convenient to be managed and configured remotely.
