OWS Field Installation
◗
Depending on the selected antenna(s) for your application, it may be necessary to configure the output
power of your OWS 2400 or OWS 3600 product. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the output
power is set correctly for the chosen antenna(s). To set the output power, go to
Appendix I: Setting the
Output Power on page 32
. Operation of the OWS 2400 or OWS 3600 in a manner other than as
represented here is a violation of FCC rules.

1. In order to comply with FCC regulations, for transmissions in the 5.725 - 5.850 GHz
band using the 23 dBi Patch Panel antenna in the United States, a band pass filter must
be used (K&L Microwave part number 6C50-5787.5/U120-n/n or equivalent), and also
for transmissions in the 2.4 GHz band in the United States using full power on channels
1 or 11 (RF Linx Corporation part number 2400BPF-8-FB or equivalent).
