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.

4
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 ZAC Access Point is a multi-mode 2x2 Access Point embedded with a software-based virtual
access controller for centrally managing managed APs that eliminates the need for a separate
hardware controller to manage the WLAN. ZN-7200-2EI-O operates at 2.4GHz band while
ZN-7200-2AEI-O operates at 5GHz band. Ideally for SMB or hotspot network, this breakthrough
innovation provides superior Wi-Fi network solutions at significantly lower cost and easier
management.
While operating as access point, the ZAC Access Point also provides centralized management and
monitoring of all the managed APs on the network. In addition, the easy-to-install ZAC Access Point
is also a high-performance last-mile broadband solution that provides reliable wireless network
coverage for broadband application.
