WLAN 2300 Series Outdoor Solution with Indoor Mounted AP 47Nortel WLAN 2300 Series Outdoor Solution GuideThe following table summarizes the net effective loss for the three connection scenarios outlined above. Ingeneral, for the 2.4 GHz operating frequency band, Scenario 1 will have an additional loss of 3.0 dB, Scenario2 will have an additional loss of 4.9 dB and Scenario 3 will add a loss of 6.9 dB.Surge suppressor (lightning arrestor)The Nortel series gas-discharge surge suppressors (lightning arresters) provide high-level protection fortransmitters and receives at RF-communication sites. In the event of a local strike, the unit’s gas discharge tubeionizes instantaneously to limit sudden voltage surges across the coaxial line. When connected to a satisfactoryground, the unit can safely shunt up to 5000 Amps of impulse current away from sensitive station equipment.Table 11.
