FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE

In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its
action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human
exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC
guidelines and these international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC
regulations.
This MM-5500PRO Wireless Ethernet modem has been tested for FCC exposure
compliance with the MM-5500PRO wireless ethernet modem form factor. In order to comply
with FCC RF exposure requirements, the MM-5500PRO Wireless Ethernet modem must be
operated with the MM-5500PRO wireless ethernet modem form factor.
The use of this device in any other type of host configuration may not comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements and should be avoided. During operation, a 20cm separation
distance should be maintained between the antenna, whether extended or retracted, and the
user’s/bystander’s body (excluding hands, wrists, feet, and ankles) to ensure FCC RF
exposure compliance.

CAUTION

Change or modification without the express consent of Maxon Electronics Australia Pty. Ltd.
voids the user’s authority to use the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits pursuant to Part 22 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in an appropriate installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not used in
accordance with instructions, can cause harmful radiation to radio communication. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the
equipment does cause harmful interference in radio and television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

1. Introduction

1.1 MM-5500PRO Overview
There are a lot of connections for Internet. Figure 1 shows one of the connectivity on the
internet using a normal ADSL modem.

[Figure 1. Normal Network using an ADSL Modem]

MM-5500PRO is an wireless ethernet modem that supports the connection between LAN
(Local Area Network) to WAN(Wide Area Network) wirelessly in Small Office Home Office.

Figure 2 shows the MM-5500PRO’s shape.

[Figure 2. Each part name of MM-5500PRO]

MM-5500PRO supports WAN protocol like PPP, HDLC etc. using CDMA 1x EVDO modem,
routing and bridging functions internally for the high speed data transfer.

2. Operation Process

There are two-way of MM-5500PRO operation. One is PPP (Point to Point Protocol) mode
and the other one is PPPoE(PPP over Ethernet) mode.

2.1 PPP mode
On PPP mode MM-5500PRO has the IP from ISP (Internet Service Provider) itself, so MM­5500PRO can share the IP with many Host PCs. Below figure 3 shows PPP mode operation.

[Figure 3. PPP mode operation]

First, Host PCs get each private IP(hereby IP-1) from MM-5500PRO via DHCP server.
Second MM-5500PRO gets public/Private IP(hereby IP-2) from ISP via CDMA 1x EVDO
modem. Now MM-5500PRO has two kinds of IP, one is from ISP and the other ones are to
Host PCs. Third, MM-5500PRO convert network data between IP-1 and IP-2 via NAT.

2.2 PPPoE mode
On PPPoE mode MM-5500PRO has no IP, just the Host PC gets IP from ISP.

[Figure 4. PPPoE mode operation]

Different on PPP mode, the IP from ISP goes to Host PC directly. MM-5500PRO
converts protocol from PPP to PPPoE or on reverse direction, the Host PC processes all
network protocols.

3. Factory Default

MM-5500PRO is already set for normal operation. So just connect between PC and MM­5500PRO. Check the network environment of Host PC.

3.1 Connecting Internet

For accessing Internet, should obtain IP automatically so refer below steps.

(1) Assumed the user uses the Windows XP. For connect between PC and MM-5100PRO,

click “My Network Places” choose the [properties].

[Figure 5. First step of setting the Host PC]

(2) Check the “Local Area Connection”, click the mouse right button then [Properties].

[Figure 6. Second step of setting the Host PC]

(3) Chose “Internet Protocol [TCP/IP]” Tab and double click the item.

8

[Figure 7. Third step of setting the Host PC]

(4) Check the “Obtain an IP address automatically” then click the [OK] button.

[Figure 8. Forth step of setting the Host PC]

(5) Host PC’s setting is finished. Connect Power and Ethernet cable on MM-5500PRO. Wait

for about 10 seconds or until the LED of PKT blinks. Connect your PC on Internet.
