Wireless Operations

Device 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.

The functions of Wireless Access Systems including Radio Local Area Networks(WAS/RLANs) within the band 5150-5350 MHz for this device are restricted to indoor use only within all European Union countries.

Hereby, Sat-Elite Inc. declares that the radio equipment type AX6000 Wireless Router, 700-00140 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following address: RS400 - Certifications

WiFi Transmission Power

FCC:≤ 30 dBm (2.4 GHz)； ≤ 30 dBm (5 GHz)；

CE:≤20dBm EIRP (2.4GHz); ≤23dBm EIRP(5.15GHz~5.35GHz); ≤30dBm EIRP(5.47GHz~5.725GHz)；≤13.98dBm（5.725GHz~5.85GHz）

Reset Button

The reset button has 2 distinct functions, based on how long the user presses the button before releasing

• Momentary Press

  • Reboot / reset the device

• 10- second Press

  • Reset device to default factory settings

  • When the device is connected to the internet again, it will attempt to load the last known good configuration from the cloud

Device ID (DID) and Serial Number

Each device is assigned a unique Device ID (DID) and Serial Number. These identifiers are used for inventory management, registration, and customer support. The DID contains key hardware and manufacturing information, allowing customers and internal teams to identify the device model and configuration.

Device IDs are 17 characters long and follow the following format.

Example of an DID is - RS1G5AABCDEAABBCC

Description

The first two characters of the DID represent the Type Code, which identifies the product model. Here in this example, RS type code denotes product model OpenWRT.

Third character Revision is a single character that indicates the hardware revision of the device.

Fourth character shows the Manufacturer Code. Refer the manufacturer codes below. In this example, G denotes the device was manufactured by GLiNet.

The next two characters denote the date - years from 2020 + month. For example:

The next 5 characters denotes the configuration. These 5 characters are unique to each Model.

The last 6 characters are serial number. For KonnectOpen devices, this is the primary MAC address of the device.
