FCC WARNING

Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user authority to operate the 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.

NOTE: 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 i nterference 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 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 f rom tha t to which the

receiver is needed.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTION:

1. To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation distance
of at least 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all
persons.

2. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter

INTRODUCING SDIO WIRELESS LAN CARD

The WL6207 is a wireless network card that complies with the IEEE 802.11b standard on wireless LANs
(Revision B).

WL6207 features and benefits

• Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) certified.

• Supports data rates up to 11 Mbps.

• Fully compatib le with any oth er wireless LAN system based on D irect Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)

radio technology that complies with the “IEEE 802.11b standard on wireless LANs (Revision B)”.

• Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps.

• 128 bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption and WPA support.

• Efficient Power Management.

• Roaming over multiple channels.

• Working range up to 400 meters in an open environment.

• Supports Ad-hoc and infrastructure modes for easy wireless communication.

WL6207 Wireless Network Scenarios

• The WL6207 enables you to:

• Connect your computer to a Peer-to-Peer workgroup of wireless computing devices

• Connect your computer to a Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) network that includes Wi-Fi access

points.

• Connect your computer to a Local Area Network (LAN) Infrastructure that in cludes the WL6207, or
other IEEE 802.11b compliant LAN systems

Wireless stations can be equipped with the WL6207, but also with other WLAN PC Cards. Both the
WL6207 and the WLAN PC Card share the same wireless functionality.

Peer-to-Peer (Ad-hoc) Workgroup

The Peer-to-Peer workgroup configuration enables you to
quickly set up a small wireless workgroup, where the workgroup
participants can exchange files using features like “Files and
Printer Sharing” as supported by Microsoft

You can use this option to setup a temporary or Ad-hoc network
in environments where no access points are available (for
example in Small Office/Home Office “SOHO” environments).
As long as the stations are within range of one another, this is
the easiest and least expensive way to set up a wireless network.

® Networking.

Home Networking

With WL6207, wireless access to the Internet or other devices is
at your fingertips. All you need to do is connect the SDIO Wireless LAN Card to an existing access point
that may be connected to the external Cable TV or xDSL modems and you are ready to:

 Share files and printers, and

Access the Internet.



2-2-3 Enterprise Networking

With the Wi-Fi certified Access Point in the corporate network
system, you can connect to a corporate Local Area Network (LAN)
infrastructure to have wireless
access to all network facilities. LAN Infrastructures may either be:

 Stand-alone wireless LANs.

 Wireless network infrastructures connected to an existing

Ethernet network.

About the WL6207 CD-ROM

The WL6207 CD-ROM contains both software and documentation
for the WL6207 card.
