Important Notes

It is important that all dates are correct on the Thor VM3 and host computers when using any type of certificate. Cer-
tificates are date sensitive and if the date is not correct authentication will fail.
When using the 802.11 radio, the U-NII 1 band is the preferred band for indoor operation. For regulatory domains in
which the U-NII 3 band is allowed, the following channels are supported: 149, 153, 157 and 161. The AP must be
configured accordingly.
