This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part15 of the FCC rules. These limits 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. There is no
guarantee that interference will not occur. If this equipment does cause interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you
are 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
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with
this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to
result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and
modifications made to the equipment without the approval of the manufacturer could void
the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna
of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter (IC:10862A-EXT60150801) has been approved by Industry Canada
to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and

AP (Access Point) mode
In AP mode, the ShareLink 200 is configured as a wireless access point. If the ShareLink
is wired to the network, wireless devices may access the network by connecting to the
ShareLink through Wi-Fi.
Figure 36. Access Point Mode
When AP mode is selected, the Access Point panel is shown with the following options:
• SSID: displays the default SSID of the ShareLink 200 unit. To change the SSID, type in
the desired SSID and click Apply.
• SSID Broadcast: makes the access point visible to wireless clients. SSID broadcast is
enabled by default. Choose Disable to disable SSID broadcast.
• 802.11 mode: default mode is 802.11 B/G/N mixed. Click the drop-down list to
display other modes for the 802.11 standard and select the preferred mode:
• Channel: set to Auto by default. The ShareLink 200 operates in the 2.4GHz
spectrum, which contains 11 Wi-Fi channels. In Auto mode, the ShareLink 200 selects
the best channel to operate in. Alternatively, you may select the WiFi channel manually
from the drop-down menu.
• Encryption: Click the drop-down list to display these encryption protocol options:
• Network Security Key: After selecting an encryption protocol, enter the network
security key.
• Channel Bandwidth: set to Auto by default. Each channel has a bandwidth of
20MHz or 40 MHz. In auto mode, the device automatically determines which bandwidth
to use. Alternatively, you may select the 20 MHz option.
NOTE: The 40MHz bandwidth increases data throughput, but also increases the
potential for interference from adjacent channels.

Client mode
In Client mode, the ShareLink 200 scans for existing access points and connects to one
as a client. In this mode, the ShareLink 200 is no longer configured as an AP and does not
appear as a WAP on user devices. In order to connect to the ShareLink 200, users must
connect to the LAN network.
When Client mode is enabled, the Wi-Fi Client panel is shown with the following options:
Figure 37. Client Mode
• Connect to Existing AP: Click Scan to search for available Wi-Fi networks. When
scanning is complete, a drop-down menu with available Wi-Fi networks appears
Select the desired Wi-Fi network from the drop-down menu.
• Encryption: If the access point that you are trying to connect to has encryption
enabled, you must select the encryption type from the drop-down menu and enter the
network security key in Key section (below).
• Key: After selecting an encryption protocol, enter the network security key.
AP/Client mode
In AP/Client mode, the ShareLink 200 acts as both an access point (appearing as a WAP
on user devices) and a client (connected to an existing access point). This allows users to
connect to the ShareLink directly through its internal wireless AP, or through the existing AP.
When AP/Client mode is enabled, the Access Point panel and Wi-Fi Client panel are shown:
