I. Introduction
i. Overview
Azurewave AW-NB101 combo wireless slim module is a highly integrated wireless local area
network (WLAN) solution to let users enjoy the digital content through the latest wireless
technology without using extra cables and cords. It provides easy-to-use, high performance, cost
effective and low power solution. Moreover, AW-NB101 enables compatible high-speed wireless
connectivity within home, business and public access wireless networks.
Compliant with the IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard, AW-NB101 uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), BPSK, QPSK, CCK and QAM
baseband modulation technologies. When you are using AW-NB101, a high level of integration and
full implementation of the power management functions specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard can
minimize system power requirements.
The AW-NB101 802.11b/g/n Wireless Combo Slim Module provides up to 128-bit level of WEP
security to your wireless data transfers. It is able to run in the operating systems of Windows
XP/Vista in either Infrastructure mode or Ad-Hoc mode. Comparing to previous wireless
technology, AW-NB101 got great improvements on speed and range. The wireless range increased
up to two times wider and coverage area reduced the situation of dead spots. “Multiple In, Multiple
Out” (MIMO) technology uses signal reflections to increase the range and maintain wireless
connections up to five times farther; therefore, with MIMO, AW-NB101 is able to double the data
rate up to 300Mbps.

iii. Product Review
When the USB wireless module is transmitting data through connection, LED indicator will blink.
1. Connection Mode
◎Infrastructure Mode
Infrastructure mode needs an access point to establish the network, which can provide wireless accesses
within valid range for users to communicate with others or transmit data with a wired network. There are
several benefits of Infrastructure networking:
√ Roaming: a wireless LAN enabled computer can physically move from the operating range of one
access point to the other without losing connection. There is a quick association made between new
access point and wireless device as the computer traverses from the coverage of one access point to
another.
√ Range Extension: each wireless LAN enabled computer within the range of access point can
communicate with other wireless LAN enabled computers within the effective range from the access
point.
√ Wired to wireless LAN connection: the access point will establish a bridge between wireless LAN
and other wired counterparts.

Infrastructure Mode
◎Ad-hoc Mode
The difference between Ad-hoc mode and Infrastructure mode is that Ad-hoc mode does not need the
access point or router. When you use this mode, your computer will act as a server within the valid range
and connect directly to others in the same LAN workgroup.
Ad-hoc Mode
It is recommended to choose this mode when there is no access point showed on your wireless
network.

II. Installation
i. System Requirements
Before you install AW-NB101, please make sure your system meets the following requirements.
*Desktop or Laptop with USB 1.1/2.0 port
*Minimum of 64MB system memory
*Operating system: XP/Vista/Windows 7
*An optical drive/CD-ROM for utilities and driver installation
ii. Hardware Installation
1. Find an available USB 1.1/2.0 port on your desktop or laptop.
2. Plug AW-NB101 Wireless PCI-E Module into USB port of desktop or laptop.
iii. Operation Range
The operating range of AW-NB101 varies from the working environment. However, this device
made improvement on speed and range, which also reduced dead spots in coverage area.
AW-NB101 is two times wider than previous wireless products.
By default, this USB wireless adapter will automatically adjust the data rate. The transmission
speed may vary according to the environment. The closer the wireless stations are the better the
signal and transmission speed they will receive.

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: (For module device
use)
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the
OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance
requirements required with this module installed.
Cet appareil est conçu uniquement pour les intégrateurs OEM dans les conditions suivantes: (Pour
utilisation de dispositif module)
1) L'antenne doit être installée de telle sorte qu'une distance de 20 cm est respectée entre
l'antenne et les utilisateurs, et
2) Le module émetteur peut ne pas être coïmplanté avec un autre émetteur ou antenne.
Tant que les 2 conditions ci-dessus sont remplies, des essais supplémentaires sur l'émetteur ne
seront pas nécessaires. Toutefois, l'intégrateur OEM est toujours responsable des essais sur son
produit final pour toutes exigences de conformité supplémentaires requis pour ce module installé.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or
co-location with another transmitter), then the Canada authorization is no longer considered valid
