For a list of all currently documented Ralink chipsets with specifications, see Ralink.

• 300 Mbps - 2SS 5GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.),

• 150 Mbps - 1SS 2.4GHz 802.11n (40MHz chan.) = AN450 class

Overview

The FCC IDs for this device are likely Z2B-AFM1 (RT3050 board) and Z2B-AFM2 (RT3572 module).

• Dual Radio - 2.4GHz AP (21dBi), 5GHz MIMO CPE (25dBi) w/ 18dBi antenna
• 802.11bgn (150Mbps), 802.11an (300Mbps), all outdoor enclosure
• POE Passthrough up to 24V, polarity independent

The same hardware is likely used for the FreeStation 2.

Assumed A8:87:ED OUI...

Per ARC Wireless' wiki...

• the default SSID is arcweb (for both radios?)
• the default IP is apparently 10.100.100.49 if connected via the installer network or 192.168.10.1 if connected via private wireless or by Ethernet
• the default password for the UI and telnet are admin/admin and user/user
• PoE input port is eth0, output is eth1 (but PoE passthrough is disabled by default)
