FCC Statement :
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.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
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 or more 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.
Installation and use of this Wireless LAN device must be in strict accordance with the instructions included
in the user documentation provided with the product. Any changes or modifications (including the antennas)
made to this device that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused
by unauthorized modification of this device, or the substitution of the connecting cables and equipment
other than manufacturer specified. It is the responsibility of the user to correct any interference caused by
such unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment. Manufacturer and its authorized resellers or
distributors will assume no liability for any damage or violation of government regulations arising from failing
to comply with these guidelines.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
1. This transmitter has been demonstrated co-located operation compliance requirement with [Outdoor
AP/MODEL No: DWL-2700AP / FCC ID: KA22002090027-1]. This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except the configuration listed below.
-
WMP-A13/5dBi dual band antenna co-locate DWL-2700AP/4.5dBi dual band antenna
-WMP-A13/14dBi panel directional antenna co-locate DWL-2700AP/16dBi panel directional antenna
-WMP-A13/18dBi panel directional antenna co-locate DWL-2700AP/16dBi panel directional antenna
2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20
centimeters between the radiator and your body.
Caution for 5GHz
According to FCC 15.407(e), the device is intended to operate in the frequency band of 5.15GHz to
5.25GHz under all conditions of normal operation. Normal operation of this device is restricted to indoor
used only to reduce harmful interference to co-channel MSS operations.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop
configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered
valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will
be responsible for re-evaluating 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
ADSL modems, and similar equipment). The final end product must be labeled in visible area with the
following:
“Contains TX FCC ID: RRK2004090192-1”
End Product Manual Information
The user 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 20cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.”
Test Utility Installation:
1. Unzip “ART48bld5.ZIP” to “C:\”.
2. Run “inst_new_drv_2K.bat”.
3. The utility must run on Win2000 and the Win2000 directory is “C:\WINNT\”.
Configuration:
1. Open the artsetup.txt file, and modify some configuration to 0x2034 the following at
windows path :
C:\ART48bld5\artsetup.txt
Modify the value
to 0x2034
2. Open the DOS console window, and start the test utility with typing the following at the
DOS command prompt:
C:\ART48bld5\art.exe
3. Once ART.EXE is executed, a menu with test options will appear. To run a test, press
the character key that is assigned to the test option.
For example, press “c” to run the continuous transmit test, or press “r” to run the
continuous receive test.
4. Continuous Transmit Options.
The channel frequency, data rate and output power could be changed in continuous
transmit options. For example, press “i” to increase the pcdac value to increase the
output power. Press “b” to change the Turbo Mode or Normal Mode. Press ESC to
return to the main Test Options menu when finished. The Continuous transmit power
must press “s” change to TX100 Test mode and use “Tx100” Mode to Test.
*Note that the initial frequency could be set in “artsetup.txt” directly.
5. Continuous Receive Options
Continuous receive options will put the radio into receive mode to allow for radio
measurements. Press ESC to return to the main Test Options menu when finished.
6. EEPROM Function
The function can Backup and restore EEPROM data. For example, press “c” to
Display calibration data. Press ESC to return to the main Test Options menu when
finished.
*Note that the calibration data could be see the Output power and Pcdac setting.
