WAPC002 User’s Manual Getting Started

The WAPC002 can be installed into all Moxa wireless system board series.

Required Professional Installation Step

1. Install the WAPC002 PCIE card on the system board. Apply pressure to both bus

connectors and gently press the board onto the stack. The board should slide into the
matching bus connectors. Do not attempt to force the board, as this can lead to bent/broken
pins.

2. Screw on the WAPC002 PCIE card.

3. Screw on the all the necessary chassis.

Software Installation

Hardware Installation

Step for Installation

After physically installing the WAPC002, your operating system must be configured to recognize
the new system board.

1. Apply power to the system board.

2. Connect system board and PC with Ethernet cable.

3. Open a browser and type: 192.168.127.253 to open the system login webpage.

4. Login the webpage with default password: root in order to verify that all of the hardware is
install properly.

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
equipmen t 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.

- 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.

FCC Caution:

To assure continued compliance, (example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or
peripheral devices) any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This module is restricted to mobile configuration. 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 60 cm from
all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This
transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter

CAUTION:

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

End Product Labeling

This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that 60cm
may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with
the following: "Contains FCC ID: SLE-WAPC002 ”

WAPC002 User’s Manual Getting Started

Canada, Industry Canada (IC) Notices

This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference; and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device.

Canada, avis d'Industry Canada (IC)

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de
licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :

(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the
bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to
LE-LAN devices.

Devraient également être informés les utilisateurs que les radars à haute puissance sont désignés comme
utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-utilisateurs prioritaires) des bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces
radars pourraient provoquer des interférences et / ou endommager les appareils LE-LAN.

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Information

The radiated output power of the Wireless Device is below the Industry Canada (IC) radio frequency exposure
limits. The Wireless Device should be used in such a manner such that the potential for human contact during
normal operation is minimized.

This device has also been evaluated and shown compliant with the IC RF Exposure limits under mobile exposure
conditions. (antennas are greater than 60cm from a person's body).

Informations concernant l'exposition aux fréquences radio (RF)

La puissance de sortie émise par l’appareil de sans fil est inférieure à la limite d'exposition aux fréquences radio
d'Industry Canada (IC). Utilisez l’appareil de sans fil de façon à minimiser les contacts humains lors du
fonctionnement normal.

Ce périphérique a également été évalué et démontré conforme aux limites d'exposition aux RF d'IC dans des
conditions d'exposition à des appareils mobiles (antennes sont supérieures à 60 cm à partir du corps d'une
personne).

End Product Labeling

This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that
60cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible
area with the following: "Contains IC: 9335A-WAPC002 “

Information for the OEMs and Integrators

The following statement must be included with all versions of this document supplied to an
OEM or integrator, but should not be distributed to the end user.
