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.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is still responsible for
the FCC compliance requirement of the end product, which integrates this module.

20cm minimum distance has to be able to be maintained between the antenna and the
users for the host this module is integrated into. Under such configuration, the FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an population/uncontrolled environment can be
satisfied.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void
the user's authority to operate this equipment.

Chapter 2: About the Operation

Modes

This device provides operational applications with AP, WDS and Client modes, which are
mutually exclusive. If you want to change the settings in order to perform more advanced
configuration or even change the mode of operation, you can use the web-based utility
provided by the manufacturer as described in the following sections.

Access Point Mode

When acting as an access point, this device connects all the stations (PC/notebook with
wireless network adapter) to a wired network. All stations can have the Internet access if only
the Access Point has the Internet connection.

WDS Mode

The WDS (Wireless Distributed System) function lets this access point act as a wireless LAN
access point and repeater at the same time. Users can use this feature to build up a large
wireless network in a large space like airports, hotels and schools and so on. This feature is
also useful when users want to bridge networks between buildings where it is impossible to
deploy network cable connections between these buildings.

Client Mode

If set to Client (Infrastructure) mode, this device can work like a wireless station when it’s
connected to a computer so that the computer can send packets from wired end to wireless
interface.

Chapter 3: Configuration

Login

1. Start your computer. Connect an Ethernet cable between your computer and the device.

2. Make sure your wired station is set to the same subnet as the device, i.e. 198.245.80.123

3. Start your WEB browser. In the Address box, enter the following: http:// 198.245.80.211

4. Please enter the username “admin” and password “admin” for login.

The configuration menu is divided into three folders: Internet Settings, Wireless Settings,
and Administration. Click on the desired setup item to expand the folder in the main
