Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use

Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN
devices. The energy levels of these emissions however are far much less than
the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices like for example
mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use frequency safety
standards and recommendations. The use of Wireless LAN devices may be
restricted in some situations or environments for example:

·On board of airplanes, or

·In an explosive environment, or

·In case the interference risk to other devices or services is perceived or
identified as harmful

In case the policy regarding the use of Wireless LAN devices in specific
organizations or environments (e.g. airports, hospitals, chemical/oil/gas
industrial plants, private buildings etc.) is not clear, please ask for
authorization to use these devices prior to operating the equipment.

FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement

This Wireless LAN radio device has been evaluated under FCC Bulletin OET
64C and found compliant to the requirements as set forth in CFR 47 Sections

2.1091, 2.1093, and 15.247 (b) (4) addressing RF Exposure from radio
frequency devices. The radiated output power of this Wireless LAN device is
far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, this device
shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during
normal operation is minimized.

When nearby persons has to be kept to ensure RF exposure compliance, in
order to comply with RF exposure limits established in the ANSI C95.1
standards, the distance between the antennas and the user should not be less
than 20 cm.

FCC 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. If not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it 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 and correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.

3. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Safety Statements
Federal Communications Commission Statement

This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:

·This device may not cause harmful interference, and

·This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

Safety Information

Your device contains a low power transmitter. When device is transmitted it
sends out radio frequency (RF) signal.

CAUTION: To maintain compliance with FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, this
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm
between the radiator and your body. Use on the supplied antenna.
Unauthorized antenna, modification, or attachments could damage the
transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.

CE Mark Warning

This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment, this product
may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required
to take adequate measures.

ABOUT THIS GUIDE

Congratulations on your purchase of this IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN
Access Point. This manual helps to features the innovating wireless
technology that can help you build a wireless network easily! This
manual contains detailed instructions in operation of this product.
Please keep this manual for future reference.

With a WLAN (IEEE 802.11b) Access Point, a mobile computer can share
data with another mobile computer in a wireless way. Easy-to-use utilities are
bundled with WLAN Access Point for configuration and monitoring purposes.

WLAN networking can wirelessly transmit and receive data, minimizing the
need for wired connections, at a speed of up to eleven megabit per second.
With WLAN networking, you can locate your PC wherever you want without
wires and cables.

WLAN networking provides users with an access to real-time information
anywhere in their organization. The mobility provides productivity and
service, which are not available under wired networks.

Purpose

This manual discusses how to install the WLAN Access Point.

Overview of this User’s Guide

Introduction. Describes the WLAN Access Point and its features.
Unpacking and Setup. Helps you get started with the basic installation of the

WLAN Access Point.

Hardware Installation. Describes the LED indicators of the AP.
Software Installation. Tells how to setup the driver and the utility setting.
Technical Specifications. Lists the technical (general, physical and

environmental) specifications of the WLAN Access Point.

UNPACKING AND SETUP

This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Access
Point.

Unpacking

Open the box of the Access Point and carefully unpack it. The box
should contain the following items:

u One Wireless Access Point
u One external power adapter
u One USB cable (A type to B type)
u One Installation CD (Driver & Utility + User’s guide)
u One Quick Installation Guide
u Two SMA reverse type antenna (2dBi) (for optional external

antenna of WLAN Access Point)
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local

reseller for replacement.

Setup

The setup of the WLAN Access Point can be performed using the
following steps:

u Locate an optimum location for the Wireless LAN Access Point

(AP). The best place for your AP is usually the center of your
wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.

u Visually inspect the USB or Ethernet RJ45 port connector and

make sure that it is fully plugged in to the system’s USB port or
Ethernet switch/hub port.

2

u Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the AP in a

position that can best cover your wireless network. Normally,
the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will
be. The antenna’s position enhances the receiving sensitivity.

u Visually inspect if the Power Adaptor was fully plugged to the

device power jack.
