Compatibility (EMC) standard for radio equipment and services; Part 1: Common technical
requirements
- EN 301 489-17 V1.2.1 (2002-08)
- Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); ElectroMagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standard for radio equipment and services; Part 17: Specific conditions
for 2,4 GHz wideband transmission systems and 5 GHz high performance RLAN equipment
This device is a 2.4 GHz wideband transmission system (transceiver), intended for use in all EU
member states and EFTA countries, except in France and Italy where restrictive use applies.
In Italy the end-user should apply for a license at the national spectrum authorities in order to
obtain authorization to use the device for setting up outdoor radio links and/or for supplying public
access to telecommunications and/or network services.
This device may not be used for setting up outdoor radio links in France and in some areas the
RF output power may be limited to 10 mW EIRP in the frequency range of 2454 – 2483.5 MHz.
For detailed information the end-user should contact the national spectrum authority in France.

1INTRODUCTION
The Product
The product is based on the IEEE 802.11b/g standard, which is the latest 54Mbps Wireless LAN (WLAN) standard.
Having this wireless protocols in one product ensure that your investments are protected, while enabling you to enjoy
the fastest Wireless LAN speed.
This product model – TEW-455APBO could operate either as a Wireless LAN Access Point or Ethernet Bridge mode.
Key Features
Fully compatibility with IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN standard
Utilize OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
Wireless data rate of up to 108Mbps.
Operates in the 2.4GHz license-free frequency band
Industrial grade IP66 Casing
Power over UTP cable DC supply
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). A simple WLAN encryption standard to protect wireless data from sniffers.
WPA (WiFi Protected Access), for AP mode only. An improved WLAN encryption standard where the secret
key renew automatically at regular intervals.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol). A new encryption key will be generated by corporate
RADIUS server when a authorized wireless adaptor/user associate with the Access Point. This
encryption key renew automatically at regular intervals. This is normally used in high security
enterprise networks.
