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 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:
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 technician for help.
FCC Caution
To assure continued compliance, 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.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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.
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.
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.
National Restrictions
This device is intended for home and office use in all EU countries (and other countries following the EU
directive 1999/5/EC) without any limitation except for the countries mentioned below:
Country Restriction Reasons/remarks
Bulgaria None General authorization required for outdoor use and
public service
France
Outdoor use; limited to 10
mW e.i.r.p. within the band

1.2 Product Description
Ultra-high-speed, Enterprise-class Wireless LAN Solution
To meet enterprise demand, PLANET WDAP-C1750 has enhanced security and management features including
SSID-based VLAN, SNMP, internal RADIUS Server and cost-effective NMS (Network Management System). With 3T3R
MIMO IEEE 802.11ac dual-band technology, the WDAP-C1750 provides extreme wireless speed up to 450 +
1300Mbps (2.4GHz + 5GHz). The incredible wireless speed makes it ideal for handling multiple HD video
streams, VoIPs and data sessions stably at the same time, specifically designed for SMBs, hotels, hospitals or
anywhere with high-density network application.
Central Management with NMS
The WDAP-C1750 with NMS (Network Management System) permits users to monitor and manage their entire operations
when in the operation mode. When entering the NMS control platform, the dashboard displays an at-a-glance view of their
wireless networks including system information, managed AP, managed AP group and active client list with real-time
scanning. The graphical zone plan showing the wireless coverage including heat maps, devices and location can be
customized with the floor map you uploaded. With NMS, any WDAP-C1750 can be the controller of a manageable wireless
network.

Secure and Manageable Wireless Network
Besides the WEP/WPA/WPA2 encryption for stations, the WDAP-C1750 is integrated with an internal RADIUS
server and MAC-based ACL to authenticate and protect your wireless LAN to prevent unauthorized wireless
connections. For management purposes, the WDAP-C1750 enables the system administrator to remotely
monitor the wireless network status through the SNMP and the syslog server, and the IEEE 802.1Q tagged
VLAN to be mapped to multiple SSIDs (16 sets of SSIDs per radio) to distinguish the wireless access in the
Internal VLAN topology. The tagged VLAN also allows to be transmitted across the WDS connection and thus it
is the best Wireless LAN solution to enterprises to isolate traffic guests from internal usage.

T-rail Ceiling-mount Design Perfect for Office
The WDAP-C1750 has an elegant, ultra slim, durable ceiling-mount housing, which provides more flexible
deployment options for enterprises. By supporting the standard IEEE 802.3at PoE PD power scheme, the
WDAP-C1750 can be powered and networked by a single UTP cable, effectively eliminating the needs of
dedicated electrical outlets on the ceiling and reducing the cabling cost. Furthermore, the system administrator is
able to arrange PoE schedule by using the managed PoE switch. Besides the standard ceiling-mounting kit, the
WDAP-C1750 provides an extra T-rail mounting kit allowing IT engineers to easily hang bulky APs without any
construction.
Multiple Operation Modes for Various Applications
In the aspect of management, the WDAP-C1750 supports AP Controller and Managed AP modes in NMS
scheme. The WDAP-C1750 being an AP Controller is able to centrally manage up to 5 WDAP-C1750 units
acting as managed APs. As to common wireless application, it supports WDS Bridge PtP, WDS Bridge PtMP
and Repeater modes, through which it provides more flexibility for users when wireless network is established.
Compared with general wireless access point, the WDAP-C1750 offers more powerful and flexible capability for
wireless clients.
