FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement

SkyExtender DualBand FCC Number: RV7-DBE1010

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 90

of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against 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 and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.

•Connect the equipment to 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 equipment has been certified to comply with the limits for a class B computing device, pursuant to FCC Rules.

In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation

with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The

user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of manufacturer could

void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

Maximum Permissible Exposure

In order to meet Industry Canada, FCC and other regulatory requirements for RF Exposure, the SkyGateway and

SkyExtender units must be located a minimum of 21 cm (8 inches) from all persons. This distance is determined

based upon the aforementioned 1 mW/cm2 limit, measured data, and the following far-field peak power density

equation:

[]

dGP )20/)((

10282.0 +

where: d= MPE distance in cm

P= Power in dBm (peak)

G= Antenna Gain in dBi

S= Power Density Limit in mW/cm2(1 mW/cm2)

Certified laboratory measurements indicate that the FCC’s Power Density Limit of 1 mW/cm2 is met at a distance of

much less than 20 cm (8 inches). However the minimum distance for fixed or mobile transmitters is 20 cm even if

calculations indicate the MPE distance is much less.

FCC 15.203 statement

Because this device uses standard RF connectors for the external removable antennas, professional installation is

required.

IC RSS-210 statement

This device has been designed to operate with the external antennas for the 2.4 GHz band listed below, and having a

maximum gain of 7.4 dBi. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 7.4 dBi are strictly

prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

This guide provides directions for installing and setting up a SkyPilot™ SkyExtender™

DualBand, which can provide access point services for users of 802.1x wireless (Wi-Fi)

networks.

This guide assumes administrator-level knowledge of IP networks and a familiarity with

configuring wireless devices.

O v e r v i e w

SkyExtender DualBand is a dual-radio solution that combines SkyPilot’s long-

range, high-capacity 5 GHz mesh backhaul with a high-powered 802.11b/g

access point that lets service providers and municipalities offer standard Wi-Fi

services over great distances, for targeted hot zones or dense, ubiquitous

coverage patterns.

Features and benefits

With the ability to create multiple WLANs (wireless local area networks), each with

its own VLAN and security policy, the SkyExtender DualBand can support several

business models with a single service installation.

SkyExtender DualBand provides a unique opportunity for WISPs looking to

combine scalable Wi-Fi capacity with the seamless coverage of a wireless mesh

network.

SkyExtender DualBand nodes on a wireless mesh network offer a basis for multi-

service networks capable of providing end-to-end security and quality of service

for a variety of bandwidth-hungry applications and services, including VoIP and

video surveillance solutions.

The auto-discovery and rapid provisioning features of a SkyPilot wireless mesh

network can greatly reduce deployment and maintenance costs. Multiple

topology options and network scalability create intriguing options for rapidly

growing a metro Wi-Fi customer base.

SkyPilot SkyExtender DualBand Installation and Setup Guide

Default access point configuration

The SkyExtender DualBand access point is set up to provide Wi-Fi access right out

of the box. The access point includes a preconfigured WLAN with the SSID

(service set identifier) SkyPilotDualBand, providing WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi protected

access – pre-shared key) protection. Users attempting to connect to the

SkyPilotDualBand WLAN must provide a password (publicpublic by default).

The default configuration is provided for initial management and configuration of

the SkyExtender DualBand access point via a wireless connection. You should

always create an access point configuration before testing the device or making it

available to customers.

NOTE A wireless network protected by WPA-PSK is vulnerable. To provide a

more secure level of protection, configure the WLAN for WPA

authentication in which each user is authenticated separately.

Y o u r S k y E x t e n d e r D u a l B a n d K i t

The SkyPilot SkyExtender DualBand™ kit provides everything you need to install

the device and configure it as both an extender for your wireless mesh network

and an 802.11b/g Wi-Fi access point.

Contents of kit

The SkyPilot SkyExtender DualBand kit includes:

oA SkyPilot SkyExtender DualBand.

The SkyExtender DualBand integrates a SkyExtender with a high-powered

Wi-Fi 802.11b/g access point.

oA pair of 2.4 GHz antennas.

oA PoE (Power over Ethernet) adapter for powering the SkyExtender DualBand.

oA custom console cable (RJ-45 to DB-9) for making a serial connection with

the SkyExtender component of the SkyExtender DualBand.

What you need for installation

Before starting installation, you need the following:

oA computer connected to the same network as the SkyExtender DualBand.

oA CAT-5 straight-through Ethernet cable for connecting the SkyExtender

DualBand to a power source.

oMAC addresses for the SkyExtender DualBand and the WLANs you set up for

the access point.

SkyPilot SkyExtender DualBand Installation and Setup Guide

Each SkyExtender DualBand has 32 MAC addresses assigned to it. The MAC

address of the SkyExtender’s 5 GHz radio (as seen from the SkyGateway™) is

printed on the label affixed to the base of the SkyExtender DualBand. The

MAC address for the access point is 1 less than the MAC address of the

SkyExtender’s 5 GHz radio.

The MAC addresses reserved for use by WLAN SSIDs (basic SSIDs, or BSSIDs)

begin with the MAC address on the label at the bottom of the SkyExtender

DualBand minus-31.

MAC addresses use a base-16 (hexadecimal) system in which the letters A–F

represent numbers 10–15. For example, if the MAC address of the

SkyExtender DualBand is 00 0A DB 01 31 9F, the reserved addresses start with

the MAC address 00 0A DB 01 31 80.

oSetup information for the access point:

oA (case-sensitive) wireless SSID for each virtual WLAN Wi-Fi network

oA unique IP address for the management of the access point if it’s not

connected to a DHCP server

oA default gateway and subnet mask for the management network if the

access point is not on the same subnet as your PC

NOTE Plan on configuring the SkyExtender DualBand before mounting it.

Some steps, such as those requiring a serial cable, are easier if the

access point is more accessible.
