Hardware Installation

The WAPC003 can be installed into Moxa wireless system board series.

Step for Installation

1. Install the WAPC003 module on the system board. Apply pressure to both bus connectors and gently press the board onto the stack. The board should slide into the matching bus connectors.
   Do not attempt to force the board, as this can lead to bent/broken pins.
   Screw on the WAPC003 module.

2. Screw on the all the necessary chassis.

Software Installation

After physically installing the WAPC003, your operating system must be configured to recognize the new system board.

Step for Installation

1. Apply power to the system board.
2. Connect system board and PC with Ethernet cable.
3. Open a browser and type: 192.168.127.253 to open the system login web page.
4. Login the web page with default password: moxa in order to verify that all of the hardware is install properly.

IMPORTANT NOTE

This module is restricted to mobile configuration. To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 50 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

CAUTION

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

End Product Labeling

This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that 50 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: SLE-WAPC003 ”.

Information for the OEMs and Integrators

The following statement must be included with all versions of this document supplied to an OEM or integrator, but should not be distributed to the end user.

1. This device is intended for OEM integrators only.
2. Please see the full Grant of Equipment document for other restrictions.

This radio transmitter FCC ID: SLE-WAPC003 has been approved by FCC to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.  Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

(ISED) Notices

This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and
Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause interference.
This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Information

The radiated output power of the Wireless Device is below the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) radio frequency exposure limits. The Wireless Device should be used in such a manner such that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

This device has also been evaluated and shown compliant with the ISED RF Exposure limits under mobile exposure conditions. (antennas are greater than 50 cm from a person’s body).

Informations concernant l’exposition aux fréquences radio (RF)

This radio transmitter IC: 9335A-WAPC003 has been approved by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below, with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list that have a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for any type listed are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Caution:
the device for operation in the band 5150–5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;

Caution:

he device for operation in the band 5250–5350 MHz is “for indoor use only”.

The user manual for LE-LAN devices shall contain instructions related to the restrictions mentioned in the above sections, namely that:

1. the device for operation in the band 5150–5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful
   interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;

2. for devices with detachable antenna(s), the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-
   5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz shall be such that the equipment still complies with the e.i.r.p. limit;

3. for devices with detachable antenna(s), the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-
   5850 MHz shall be such that the equipment still complies with the e.i.r.p. limits as appropriate; and

4. where applicable, antenna type(s), antenna models(s), and worst-case tilt angle(s) necessary to remain compliant with the e.i.r.p. elevation mask requirement set forth in section 6.2.2.3 shall be clearly indicated.
