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 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 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.

Wireless Performance Considerations
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices.
1. Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in a straight path, rather than
at an angle. The more material the signal has to pass through the more signal you will
lose.
2. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the range of
a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that will minimize the
amount of obstructions between them.
3. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor
environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through less
dense material such as dry wall. Dense materials like metal, solid wood, glass or even
furniture may block or degrade the signal.
4. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the
wireless adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best antenna orientation for your
wireless devices.
5. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also impact your
signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF noise, such
as microwaves, radios and baby monitors.
6. Any device operating on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference. Devices such as
2.4GHz cordless phones or other wireless remotes operating on the 2.4GHz frequency
can potentially drop the wireless signal. Although the phone may not be in use, the base
can still transmit wireless signal. Move the phone’s base station as far away as possible
from your wireless devices.
If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless
devices or installing additional access points. The use of higher gain antennas may
also provide the necessary coverage depending on the environment.

PIN Method
The user obtains a device password (PIN Code) from the STA and enters the password into
the Registrar. Both the Enrollee and the Registrar use PIN Config method for the
configuration setup. The following image outlines the process.
1. Select an AP (SSID/BSSID) that STA will join to and Select the "PIN/ numeric code"
method.
2. Select "Enrollee" from the Config Mode drop-down list.
3. Enter the PIN Code of the STA into the Registrar when prompted by the Registrar.
![](/img.php?id=1457258&img=bg17.png)
23
If you use Microsoft Window Connection Now as an External Registrar, you must start PIN
connection at STA first. After that, search out your WPS Device name and MAC address at
Microsoft Registrar. Add a new device and enter PIN Code of STA at Microsoft Registrar
when prompted.
4. Click "PIN" to enter the PIN
5. The result should appear as the image below.
7. Configure one or more credentials
![](/img.php?id=1457258&img=bg18.png)
24
PBC Method
The PBC method requires the user to press a PBC button on both the Enrollee and the
Registrar within a two-minute interval called the Walk Time. If there is only one Registrar in
PBC mode, the PBC mode selected is obtained from ID 0x0004, and is found after a
complete scan. The Enrollee can then immediately begin running the Registration Protocol.
If the Enrollee discovers more than one Registrar in PBC mode, it MUST abort its connection
attempt at this scan and continue searching until the two-minute timeout.
*Before you press PBC on STA and candidate AP. Make sure all APs aren't PBC mode or
APs using PBC mode have left their Walk Time.
1. Select an AP (SSID/BSSID) that STA will join to and Select the "Push-button
Configuration" method.
2. Click PBC to start the PBC connection.
3. Push the PBC on AP.

Appendix
Glossary
For unfamiliar terms used below, look for entries elsewhere in the glossary.
AD-HOC (IBSS)
Ad-hoc mode does not require an AP or a wired network. A network that transmits wireless
from computer to computer without the use of a base station (access point).
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).
CHANNEL
A radio frequency used by a wireless device is called a channel.
EAP AUTHENTICATION
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an authentication protocol that runs on top of
the IEEE802.1X transport mechanism in order to support multiple types of user
authentication. By using EAP to interact with an EAP-compatible RADIUS server, an
access point helps a wireless station and a RADIUS server perform authentication.
ENCRYPTION
The reversible transformation of data from the original to a difficult-to-interpret format.
Encryption is a mechanism for protecting confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data.
It uses an encryption algorithm and one or more encryption keys.
FRAGMENTATION THRESHOLD
This is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent before the packet is fragmented
into smaller packets.
IEEE 802.1X
The IEEE 802.1X standard outlines enhanced security methods for both the authentication
of wireless stations and encryption key management. Authentication can be done using an
external RADIUS server.
INFRASTRUCTURE (BSS)
When a number of wireless stations are connected using a single AP, you have a Basic
Service Set (BSS).
ROAMING
In an infrastructure network, wireless stations are able to switch from one BSS to another
as they move between the coverage areas. During this period, the wireless stations
maintain uninterrupted connection to the network. This is roaming. As the wireless station
moves from place to place, it is responsible for choosing the most appropriate AP
depending on the signal strength, network utilization among other factors.
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.
TEMPORAL KEY INTEGRITY PROTOCOL (TKIP)
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) uses 128-bit keys that are dynamically generated and
distributed by the authentication server.
USER AUTHENTICATION
WPA applies IEEE 802.1X and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate
wireless clients using an external RADIUS database. If you do not have an external RADIUS
server, use WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (WPA -Pre-Shared Key) that only requires a single
(identical) password entered into each access point, wireless gateway and wireless client. As
long as the passwords match, clients will be granted access to a WLAN.
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption scrambles all data packets transmitted between
the WCB-321A and the AP or other wireless stations to keep network communications pri-
vate. Both the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key for data
encryption and decryption.
