The EWS330AP has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of above three
models.

Access Point Mode

In Access Point Mode, the EWS330AP behaves like a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n
networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to
associate with the EWS330AP. The EWS330AP supports up to eight (8) SSIDs per band (16 total) at the same time for secure
access.

AP Mesh Mode
Under the AP Mesh mode, the EWS330AP can be used as the central connection hub for station or clients that

support IEEE 802.11 b/g/n network. Under this mode, the EWS330AP can be configured with the same Mesh SSID and
security password in order to associate with other EWS330AP, as well as connect with clients under the same SSID and
encryption signatures. For example, you would use one band to connect Access Points in range with Mesh mode and the
other band to broadcast traffic on the network.

Appendix A
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 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 to correct the interference by
one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into 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.

FCC Caution:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and
operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Operation of this device is restricted to
indoor use only.

Appendix B - IC Interference Statement
Industry Canada Statement
This device complies with RSS-247 of the Industry Canada Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Ce dispositif est conforme à la norme CNR-247 d’Industrie Canada applicable aux appareils radio exempts de licence. Son fonctionnement
est sujet aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) le dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage préjudiciable, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter
tout brouillage reçu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable.

Caution:
(i) 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;
(ii) high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these
radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
(iii) Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5650-5850 MHz
and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

Avertissement:
(i) les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz sont réservés uniquement pour une utilisation à l’intérieur afin de réduire
les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux;
(ii) De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi être avisés que les utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont désignés utilisateurs
principaux (c.-à-d., qu’ils ont la priorité) pour les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars pourraient causer du
brouillage et/ou des dommages aux dispositifs LAN-EL.
(iii) De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi être avisés que les utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont désignés
