- Wireless LAN devices may not perform normal wireless communication due to factors such as the

installation environment, the unit's settings, and the communication load of the network system.

Perform a verification in advance in an environment that matches your usage application to check

that there are no problems. For the introduction and installation of wireless LAN devices, hire a

system integrator or other specialist who is well-versed in the construction of wireless LAN network

systems.

- When you are switching to this product (the FLEXLAN 3000 series) from a separate series of

wireless LAN devices (such as the FLEXLAN 2000/1000/DS540 series), it may be necessary to

reconstruct the network system due to differences in areas such as the product specifications and

functions. Before you use this product, we recommend that you use a device on loan from CONTEC

to sufficiently evaluate the product in the environment in which it will actually be used.
