Regulatory Compliance
FCC Warning

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.
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.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.

1) To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation distance of at
least 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all persons.

2) This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.

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, and

2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.

As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be 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 (for example certain
laptop
configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer
considered valid and the FCC ID can not 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 device where the antenna may be
installed
such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users (for example access
points,

Wireless Mini-PCI Module

routers, wireless ADSL modems, and similar equipment). The final end product must be
labeled in
a visible area with the following: "Contains TX FCC ID: FCC IDGQVZ20100000".

Manual Information for End Users
The end user must not have manual instructions to remove or install the device.
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 20 cm
from all
persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter."

Wireless Mini-PCI Module

Chapter1

Introduction

This 802.11g Mini-PCI module offers high-speed wireless connection up to 54Mbps. It shares
the same 2.4GHz radio band with 80.11b products so it can interoperate with existing 802.11b
networking products. With the wireless network adapter installed, you can connect to
wireless-B (802.11b) and Wireless-G (draft 802.11g) networks.

With this module and appropriate drivers and utility installed, you can transform your wired
device into wireless station easily and thus access your wireless and wired network quickly.
Fully compliant to Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) with 64-bit and 128-bit encryption, so it can
offer a reliable and secure wireless communication.

This wireless network adapter provides a fast and convenient way to connect your laptop or
desktop to a wireless station or as an integral part of a wired local area network with a wireless
network segment. You can configure this network card in Ad-Hoc mode (without an access
point) or Infrastructure mode (with an access point).

1.1 System Requirement

To properly use your wireless Mini-PCI module, please make sure that your laptop or desktop
meets the following minimum system requirements:

 The laptop or desktop must have one of the operating systems, i.e: MS Windows 98SE,

ME, 2000 and WinXP

 CD-ROM drive
 Desktop PC: Mini-PCI slot in case of desktop PC
 Laptop: Mini-PCI slot

1.2 Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Module Features

This wireless Mini-PCI module offers compliance with IEEE 802.11g standard so it allows
communicate with other manufacturers’ wireless devices that support this standard. The
followings are the main distinguishing features of this wireless adapter.

 Compatible with IEEE 802.11g high rate standard to provide wireless speeds of

54Mbps data rate with OFDM modulation.

 Backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b high rate standard to provide wireless

speeds of 11Mbps data rate with CCK modulation

 Dynamic date rate scaling at 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9 Mbps in OFDM mode
 Dynamic date rate scaling at 11, 5.5 Mbps in CCK mode; 2 and 1Mbps in DQPSK

and DBPSK mode.

 Maximum reliability, throughput and connectivity with automatic fallback, auto-switch

between OFDM and CCK.

 Supports wireless data encryption with 128-bit WEP and WPA standard for security
 Drivers support Windows 98SE, 2000, ME, XP

Wireless Mini-PCI Module

 Simple user setup & diagnostics utilities
 Type approval compliant with FCC Part 15.247 for US, EN 300-328 for Europe, and

RCR STD-33A and ARIB STD-T66 for Japan

2.1.3 TCP/IP Setup In Windows 2000

Configuring the TCP/IP setup allows the desktop or laptop equipped with a wireless LAN
adapter to operate in infrastructure mode and to have the Internet access. So after the
configuration utility and WLAN adapter driver are installed, the TCP/IP address for the wireless
LAN card must be configured.

1. Right-click mouse button on the My Network Places and highlight Properties from the
pop-up menu.

2. Find the “Local Area Connection” that is associated with the wireless LAN Mini-PCI
module. Right-click mouse button on the connection and click Properties.

3. Select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and click Properties.
