Tested to Comply
With FCC Standard
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. USERS MANUAL OF THE END PRODUCT: In the users manual of the end
product, the end user has to be informed to keep at least 20cm separation with the antenna while this end product is installed and
operated. The end user has to be informed that the FCC radio-frequency exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment can be
satisfied. The end user has to also be informed that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void
the user's authority to operate this equipment. If the size of the end product is smaller than 8x10cm, then additional FCC part 15.19
statement is required to be available in the users manual: This device complies with Part 15 of 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. LABEL OF THE END PRODUCT: The final end product must be labeled in a
visible area with the following " Contains TX FCC ID: RYK-WUB2104 ". If the size of the end product is larger than 8x10cm, then the
following FCC part 15.19 statement has to also be available on the label: This device complies with Part 15 of 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.

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 interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiated 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 equip m ent 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 from that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to
operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter
For product available in the USA market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible.
This EUT is incompliance with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999
and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65
Supplement C
Prohibition of co-location
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or

Chapter 1. Wireless LAN Network
1.1 Overview
This section describes the wireless LAN network terms and applications.
1.1.1 SSID
The SSID (Service Set Identity) is a unique name shared among all wireless devices in a wireless
network. Wireless devices must have the same SSID to communicate with each other.
1.1.2 Channel
A radio frequency used by a wireless device is called a channel.
1.1.3 Transmission Rate (Tx Rate)
The 802.11g USB 2.0 WLAN Module provides various transmission (data) rate options for you to
select. Options include Auto, 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps,
24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, and 54 Mbps. In most networking scenarios, the factory default Auto
setting proves the most efficient. This setting allows your WLAN Module to operate at the maximum
transmission (data) rate. When the communication quality drops below a certain level, the WLAN
Module automatically switches to a lower transmission (data) rate. Transmission at lower data
speeds is usually more reliable. However, when the communication quality improves again, the WLAN
Module gradually increases the transmission (data) rate again until it reaches the highest available
transmission rate.
You can select any of the above options. If you wish to balance speed versus reliability, select 48
Mbps or 54 Mbps in a networking environment where you are certain that all wireless devices can
communicate at the highest transmission (data) rate. 1 Mbps or 2 Mbps are used often in networking
environments where the range of the wireless connection is more important than speed.
1.1.4 Wireless Network Application
Wireless LAN works in either of the two modes: ad-hoc and infrastructure. To connect to a wired
network within a coverage area using Access Points (APs), set the WLAN Module operation mode
to Infrastructure (BSS). An AP acts as a bridge between the wireless stations and the wired network.
In case you do not wish to connect to a wired network, but prefer to set up a small independent
wireless workgroup without an AP, use the Ad-hoc (IBSS) (Independent Basic Service Set) mode.
Ad-Hoc (IBSS)
Ad-hoc mode does not require an AP or a wired network. Two or more wireless stations
communicate directly to each other. An ad-hoc network may sometimes be referred to as an
Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS).
