1-2 FCC Notice

U.S. Regulatory Wireless Notice

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. This product emits radio
frequency energy, but the radiated output power of this device is far below the
FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be
used in such a manner that the potential for human contact with the antenna
during normal operation is minimized.

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. For laptop installations, the antenna must be installed to

ensure that the proper spacing is maintained in the event the users places the

device in their lap during use (i.e. positioning of antennas must be placed in

the upper portion of the LCD panel only to ensure 20 cm will be maintained if

the user places the device in their lap for use) and

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

Define your network name (SSID) in the following windows, so your can join a

specific wireless network. Check AP has WEP on or not. You wireless network will

need to have same WEP setting with AP in order to communicate. If your wireless

network don’t have any AP, check the

Protocol. 802.1x, giving someone secure, encrypted, wireless access on a Microsoft

network will be as easy as setting a flag on the users domain account.

What does this mean for the Home Network user?

802.1x will ensure that if and when you make the change over to Wireless Ethernet, your

neighbor will not be able to access your wireless LAN!

The ‘Advanced’ window offers Firewall and Internet Connection Sharing functions.

Depends on your networking environment, you can select below functions.

wireless networks together.

Ad-Hoc

- Ad-Hoc is a peer- to-peer wireless network without Access Point. A group

of wireless clients consistent an independent wireless LAN.

Backbone

- The core infrastructure of a network, the portion of the network that

transports information from one central location to another central location. The

information is then off-loaded onto a local system.

- Stands for “Basic Service Set.” An Access Point associated with several

BSS

wireless stations.

- Stands for “Extended Service Set.” More than one BSS can be configured as an

ESS

Extended Service Set. An ESS is basically a roaming domain.

Infrastructure

configuration.

MINI-PCI TYPE III

- An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure

– Mini-PCI is a small form factor version of the PCI

specification. The Mini-PCI format comes in several different form factors: the Type

I, Type II, and Type III. The Mini-PCI Type III card is the most popular of the Mini-

PCI standards. The Mini-PCI Type III golden finger plugs into a 124-pin card edge

type connector that is similar to the SODIMMS type. Mini-PCI provides the same

32bit 33MHz performance that you have come to expect from the PCI bus. Mini-PCI

is still pretty much an OEM product, as you are not yet able to go to a store and

purchase a Mini-PCI card.

Roaming

- A function that allows one to travel with a mobile end system (wireless

LAN mobile station, for example) through the territory of a domain (an ESS, for

example) while continuously connecting to the infrastructure.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

- To prevent access from the unauthorized

wireless stations to the data that is transmitting through the network, the Wireless

LAN card provides the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) level of security that was

part of the original 802.11 standard. The wireless LAN card supports both 64 bits

WEP and 128 bits data encryption based on the RC4 algorithm.

- Short for Service Set Identifier. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from

SSID

another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN

must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can

provide the unique SSID.
