FCC Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Warning:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B (Class A for POE models) digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause 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 or more 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.
Notice:
Changes or modification not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Installation Guidelines (Read Before Installing
)
- Do not open the WebRelay
TM
enclosure. This will void the warranty.
- This unit must be installed by qualified personnel.
- This unit must not be installed directly outdoors.
- This unit must not be used for medical, life saving purposes, or for any purpose where its failure could cause serious
injury or the loss of life.
Notes about security:
By design, WebRelay
TM
is very secure. It does not support terminal or file transfer programs such as telnet, ftp, ssh,
etc. This means that it is not possible for someone to ‘break in’ to WebRelay
TM
and access other devices on your local
network. WebRelay
TM
does not support remote firmware updates which means that it is not possible for someone to
remotely install malicious software. The simplicity of WebRelay
TM
makes it a very secure device. As with any
device to be installed on a network, there are some security precautions that should be observed. If WebRelay
TM
is
installed on the Internet, it is recommended that passwords be enabled for the control page. Make sure secure
passwords are used. Passwords should be at least 8 characters in length and should be a combination of upper case
letters, lower case letters, and numbers. Don’t use passwords that would be easy to guess. For additional security, a
firewall may be used to limit access only to selected IP addresses. Another option may be to set up a Virtual Private
Network (VPN) between the network where WebRelay
TM
resides and the client machine (web browser, second
WebRelay
TM
, etc.).
Final installation note. This ControlByWeb
TM
product supports connection to 10Mbps and 100Mbps networks.
Although 100Mbps networks are faster, the amount of data transferred to and from this device is very minimal and
little if any performance increase will be gained by setting it to 100Mbps. There are advantages however, to operate
this device at 10Mbps. At 10Mbps, less power is required, the unit runs cooler, and the lifetime of the product will be
extended.
