Chapter 1 Introduction
1. Introduction
AWN11N-001 is a wireless 1x1 802.11n USB Adapter which enables wireless networking
systems to attain data communication speeds up to 150 megabits-per-second (Mbps), while
remaining backward compatible to the existing installed base of Wi-Fi systems worldwide. It
supports operation to the IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g ,and draft IEEE 802.11n standards.
AWN11N-001 will enable a next generation of high-data-rate platforms for operation in
the 2.4 GHz band that deliver a five-fold speed increase. The cost and performance
advantages will make it an ideal solution for high bandwidth enterprise applications,
such as wireless video conferencing and large file transfers. It is compatible with
802.11g standard's mandatory modulation schemes—Complementary Code Keying
(CCK), which is used in 802.11b, and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM), used in 802.11g and draft 802.11n. Using CCK ensures
backward-compatibility with the installed Wi-Fi 802.11b base, while OFDM provides
the speed required for today's high-bandwidth applications.
This Wire 802.11N wireless USB Adapter is for use only with compatible UL Listed
Computer that installation Instruction detailing user installation of card cage

Federal Communication Commission 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. End users must follow the specific operating instructions
for satisfying RF exposure compliance. To maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure compliance requirements, please follow operation instruction as
documented in this manual.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
