IC RSS Statement:

English:

This device complies with Industry Canada license‐exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1) This device may not cause harmful interference;

2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation of the device.

French:

Cet appareil est conforme à Industrie Canada une licence standard RSS exonérés (s). Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes:

1) Cet appareil ne doit pas provoquer d'interférences

2) Cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence reçue, y compris les interférences pouvant

provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable de l'appareil.

FCC Part 15 Statement:

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.

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 radiates 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:

a) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. b) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. c) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

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

The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by Wi2Wi may void the user‟s authority to operate the equipment.

Integrator Guidance:

 Only the antenna(s) described in the filings under this FCC ID or equivalent antenna(s) with

equal or lesser gain may be used with this transmitter. Any new antenna type, or higher gain antenna would require a Class II permissive change.

 If the operation of the equipment is for portable use (within 20 cm of user), or where co-location

configuration use is required; the end product, including the transmitter will require re-evaluation in accordance to the FCC rules.

Labeling:

The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:

 "Contains FCC ID: XXXXXXXX, IC: YYYYYYYYY"

where XXXXXXXX, YYYYYYYYY are the approved FCC/IC ID for the device being installed.

The grantee's FCC/IC ID can be used only when all FCC/IC compliance requirements are met.

1. Introduction

This document describes how to set up the W2SW0025 EVK to evaluate Wi-Fi performance of the W2SW0025 host based module. It also describes how to compile the Linux reference drivers and provides some basic usage example.

1.1 W2SW0025 Module

W2SW0025 is a complete wireless subsystem featuring 802.11 b/g/n WLAN capabilities in a small form factor module. The W2SW0025 module is designed to simplify the process of adding wireless capability without lengthy design cycles or complex RF circuit. It is completely tested for functionality and performance along with coexistence with other wireless standards. W2SW0025 has been fully optimized for throughput and receive sensitivity using careful design practices Based on world-class silicon from Marvell.

1.2 W2SW0025 EVK Board

The W2SW0025 EVK board is a development platform based on the W2SW0025 with integrated USB and SDIO. This EVB shows the abilities of the W2SW0025 and it is perfect for learning and developing USB-based applications using the W2SW0025. The W2SW0025 evaluation kit includes an evaluation board which can be used as a reference design for the W2SW0025 modules.
