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.

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
2454-2483.5 MHz
Military Radiolocation use. Refarming of the 2.4 GHz
band has been ongoing in recent years to allow current
relaxed regulation. Full implementation planned 2012
Italy None If used outside of own premises, general authorization is
required
Luxembourg None General authorization required for network and service
supply(not for spectrum)
Norway Implemented This subsection does not apply for the geographical area
within a radius of 20 km from the centre of Ny-Ålesund
Russian
Federation
None Only for indoor applications
Note: Please don’t use the product outdoors in France.
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
Designed for Highly-efficient Wireless Coverage
PLANET WDAP-C7200AC and WDAP-W7200AC, an IEEE 802.3at compliant PoE access point, features the
latest 802.11ac wireless technology, advanced management functions and superior encryption standard yet
cost-effectiveness. Meeting today’s demand for advanced performance and security, the WDAP-C7200AC and
WDAP-W7200AC include multiple SSIDs, WPA / WPA2, RADIUS MAC authentication and so forth.
Brand-new 11ac Wireless Technology
The WDAP-C7200AC and WDAP-W7200AC support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac dual band standards with 2T2R
MIMO technology; therefore, it provides the wireless speed up to 300+867Mbps, which is 16X faster than the
11a access point at 5GHz frequency and 5.5X faster than the 11g access point at 2.4GHz frequency. Moreover,
the WDAP-C7200AC and WDAP-W7200AC are equipped with Gigabit Ethernet Port. Compared with the
general wireless APs, the WDAP-C7200AC and WDAP-W7200AC offer faster transmission speed for the
network applications and less interference to enhance data throughput. The incredible wireless speed makes it
ideal for handling multiple HD movie streams, high-resolution on-line games, stereo music, VoIPs and data
streams at the same time stably and smoothly.
11ac Innovations Bring Excellent Data Link Speed
The WDAP-C7200AC and WDAP-W7200AC are built-in with high power amplifier and 4 highly-sensitive
antennas which provide stronger signal and excellent coverage even in the wide-ranging or bad environment.
With adjustable transmit power option, the administrator can flexibly reduce or increase the output power for
various environments, thus reducing interference to achieve maximum performance. To provide extremely
high-speed user experience, the WDAP-C7200AC and WDAP-W7200AC adopted IEEE 802.11ac technology to
extend the 802.11n 40MHz channel binding to 80MHz and the implementation of 256-QAM modulation where
higher transmitting/receiving rates go up to 867Mbps in 5GHz less interference frequency band. In addition, the
Gigabit LAN port can eliminate the restriction of 100Mbps Fast Ethernet wired connection to let users fully enjoy
the high speed provided by wireless. The IEEE 802.11ac also optimizes MU-MIMO (Multi-User MIMO)
mechanism to serve multiple devices simultaneously.

Full Support of Wireless Security Encryption and Wireless Value-added Features
In aspect of security, besides 64/128-bit WEP encryption, the WDAP-C7200AC and WDAP-W7200AC are
integrated with WPA / WPA2, WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK and 802.1x RADIUS authority to secure and protect your
wireless LAN. It provides the wireless MAC filtering and SSID broadcast control to consolidate the wireless
network security and prevent unauthorized wireless connection. Moreover, its Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)
mechanism provides enhanced QoS over wireless connection for better performance in multimedia transmission
like on-line gaming and video streaming, which are classified as a top priority.
Multiple Operation Modes for Various Applications
The WDAP-C7200AC and WDAP-W7200AC support AP, Client, WDS Bridge, Repeater and Universal Repeater
modes, through which it provides more flexibility for users when wireless network is established. Compared with
general wireless access point, the WDAP-C7200AC and WDAP-W7200AC offer more powerful and flexible
capability for wireless clients.
Flexible Deployment with PoE Feature
Compliant with the IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet standard, the WDAP-C7200AC and WDAP-W7200AC
can be powered and networked by a single UTP cable. It thus reduces the needs of extra cables and dedicated
electrical outlets on the wall, ceiling or any other place where it is difficult to reach. The wireless network
deployment becomes more flexible and worry-free from the power outlet locations.

Deployment Simplified through Centralized Management
The WDAP-C7200AC and WDAP-W7200AC support AP controller which can be switched to “managed AP”
mode and thus can be centrally managed by PLANET WAPC-1232HP smart AP controller. It will certainly benefit
the system integrators when the scale of the wireless network gets bigger. Furthermore, with user-friendly Web
UI and Planet Smart Discovery supported, the WDAP-C7200AC and WDAP-W7200AC are convenient to be
managed and configured remotely in a small business wireless network.
