Anatomy
Installation
Important:
Installation must be performed by a professional installer familiar
with local regulations governing wireless devices.
Important:
Unless s
hielded cables
are used, a full-loop ferrite must be placed
on the internet port cable (Fair-Rite PN: 0443164151 or equivalent)
.
Important:
Do not connect the LAN or Internet port directly to a metropolitan
area network (MAN) or wide area network (WAN)
.
.
Important:
CH 36, 40, 44, 48 for Indoor use only (5.15-5.25GHz)
When mounting the CN3300 on a wall, ceiling or other surface, make sure
that:
• the surface you attach the CN3300 to and the fasteners you use are
able to support at least 5.1 kg (11.25 pounds)
• cable pull (accidental or otherwise), must not make the unit exceed
the 5.1 kg (11.25 pound) limit
Plenum installations
Plenum rated cables and attachment hardware must be used if the
CN3300 is installed in a plenum. Since the CN3300 power adapter
(optional) is not rated for plenum installations, only the CN3300 and
appropriate cabling can be located in the plenum.
Note:
Colubris Networks supplied PoE injectors (available separately)
cannot be installed inside the plenum.
Configuration
To configure the CN3300, you use the Web-based management tool built
into the CN3300. You access this tool by establishing a Web browser
connection to the CN3300. You must use a JavaScript-enabled Web
browser (Netscape 7.1 or higher, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or
higher with all applicable updates), to do this.

Connect the antennas.
Use the following antennas (sold separately):
Note:
By default, the CN3300 has radio 1 set to B/G mode, and radio 2 set
to Monitor mode (scanning only).
Both the Main and Aux antennas are used to transmit and receive. If a
single antenna is used, it must be attached to the Main connector.
The connectors are reverse-polarity SMA male jacks. This means
antennas or cable connectors must be SMA female connectors with
reverse polarity. Antennas can be either directly attached or attached
via a coax cable.

An important note about wireless security
For easy access to the management interface via a wireless connection, the CN3300 ships with all wireless security options disabled. Once the unit
is installed, it is strongly recommended that you enable a wireless security option to properly safeguard the wireless network from intruders. See the
CN3300 Administrator's Guide for more information.
