Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to
channels 1 through 11.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are
country dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended
destination. The firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna
and users. For laptop installations, the antenna must be installed to ensure that the
proper spacing is maintained in the event the users places the device in their lap
during use (i.e. positioning of antennas must be placed in the upper portion of the LCD
panel only to ensure 20 cm will be maintained if the user places the device in their lap
for use) and 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other
transmitter or antenna.
As long as the 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter
required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product
for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for
example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met
certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC
authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not
final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for reevaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC
authorization.
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in devices where the antenna may
be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users (for
example access points, routers, wireless ASDL modems, certain laptop configurations,
and similar equipment). The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with
the following: "Contains TX FCC ID: MQ4WI5200".
RF Exposure Manual Information That Must be Included
The users manual for end users must include the following information in a prominent
location "IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter."
Additional Information That Must be Provided to OEM Integrators
The end user should NOT be provided any instructions on how to remove or install the
device.

Chapter 2: About the Operation
Modes
This device provides operational applications with AP, WDS and Client modes, which are
mutually exclusive. If you want to change the settings in order to perform more advanced
configuration or even change the mode of operation, you can use the web-based utility
provided by the manufacturer as described in the following sections.
Access Point Mode
When acting as an access point, this device connects all the stations (PC/notebook with
wireless network adapter) to a wired network. All stations can have the Internet access if only
the Access Point has the Internet connection.
WDS Mode
The WDS (Wireless Distributed System) function lets this access point act as a wireless LAN
access point and repeater at the same time. Users can use this feature to build up a large
wireless network in a large space like airports, hotels and schools and so on. This feature is
also useful when users want to bridge networks between buildings where it is impossible to
deploy network cable connections between these buildings.

Client Mode
If set to Client (Infrastructure) mode, this device can work like a wireless station when it’s
connected to a computer so that the computer can send packets from wired end to wireless
interface.
