50 Chapter 6 Reference Welch Allyn Micropaq Monitor
Specifications
Monitor radio specifications (5 GHz)
Characteristic Specification
FlexNet Network 5 GHz orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless local area network
(WLAN) and 10/100/1000 base-T Ethernet network
Modulation OFDM
Output power 40 mW maximum; country-dependent
IEEE standards 802.11a, 802.11e, 802.11h, 802.1X
Monitors per access point 20 (max.)
Caution Some countries restrict the use of 5-GHz bandwidths. The 802.11a radio
in the Micropaq monitor uses only the channels indicated by the access point
with which the radio associates. The hospital IT department must therefore
configure all associated access points to operate within approved domains.
Channel restrictions in the 5-GHz band, by country, are as follows:
Restrictions for use in the 5 GHz bands a
Allowed frequency bands b
Allowed channel numbers c
Countries
5.15 to 5.25 GHz 36, 40, 44, 48 Austria
5.15 to 5.35 GHz 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64 Cyprus, Czech Republic, France,

a. This device may be not be operated outdoors when using the bands 5150 to 5350 MHz (Channels 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 50, 64).
b. This device must be used with Access Points that have employed and activated a radar detection feature required for European
Community operation in the 5GHz bands. This device will operate under the control of the Access Point in order to avoid operating
on a channel occupied by any radar system in the area. The presence of nearby radar operation may result in temporary interruption
in communications of this device. The Access Point’s radar detection feature will automatically restart operation on a channel free
of radar. You may consult with the local technical support staff responsible for the wireless network to ensure the Access Point
device(s) are properly configured for European Community operation.
c. To remain in conformance with European spectrum usage laws for Wireless LAN operation, the above 5 GHz channel limitations
apply. The user should check the current channel of operation. If operation is occurring outside of the allowable frequencies as
listed above, the user must cease operating the device at that location and consult the local technical support staff responsible
for the wireless network.
d. In Italy the end-user must apply for a license from the national spectrum authority to operate this device outdoors.
