1.1 FCC INFORMATION
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm
between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
The 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 instruction, may cause harmful interference to
radio communication. However, there is no grantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment dose 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 from that to which the receiver
is connected.
--Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

USER’S MANUAL OF X-Micro WLAN 11b ACCESS POINT Version: 2.0
1. Introduction
X-Micro WLAN 11b Access Point is a portal that can act as the connection point between the
Ethernet CSMA/CD protocol and the wireless CSMA/CA protocol. The Access Point can be
easily integrated into your existing wireless network. In large installations, the roaming
functionality provided by multiple Access Points allows wireless users to move freely
throughout the facility while maintaining seamless, uninterrupted access to the network.
This document describes the steps required for the initial IP address assign and other AP
configuration. The description includes the implementation of the above steps.
Notice: It will take about 25 seconds to complete the boot up sequence after powered on
X-Micro WLAN 11b Access Point; all LEDs are blank while booting except the
Power LED, and after that the WLAN Activity LED will be flashing to show the
WLAN interface is enabled and working now.
