簡介
本文是思科技術支援中心支援的宣告,旨在闡明第三方天線在Cisco Aironet和Catalyst接入點上的支援條件。
宣告
如果客戶/合作夥伴要在思科無線LAN裝置上使用非思科(第三方)天線,則:
- 由他們(其安裝人員/整合人員)負責確保系統符合所有法規要求。
- Cisco TAC不負責排除RF效能故障;這是客戶/合作夥伴及其安裝人員/整合商的責任。
- Cisco TAC確實支援Cisco品牌接入點的硬體和軟體。
- 如果客戶認為接入點的無線效能與預期不符,並且希望獲得TAC支援,則必須將不受支援的第三方天線更換為思科品牌天線,並驗證效能

Third Party Components Support
When a customer reports a product fault or defect and Cisco believes the fault or defect can be traced to the use of third-party memory products, cables, GBIC's, filters, or other non-Cisco components by a customer or reseller, then, at Cisco's discretion, Cisco may withhold support under warranty or a Cisco support program such as SMART Net Total care™ service.

Non-Cisco Antennas
Cisco does not support any third-party antennas. RF connectivity and compliance of third party antennas is the user’s responsibility. Cisco does not recommend any third-party antennas, and Cisco Technical Assistance Center will not be able to provide any support for third-party antennas. Cisco’s FCC Part 15 compliance is only guaranteed with Cisco antennas or antennas that are of the same design and gain as Cisco antennas.
