Federal Communications Commission Statement
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. 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 Federal Communications Commission (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 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.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Safety Statements
Regulatory Information/Disclaimers
Installation and use of this Wireless LAN device must be in strict accordance with the
instructions included in the user documentation provided with the product. Any changes or
modifications (including the antennas) made to this device that are not expressly approved
by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The
manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by
unauthorized modification of this device, or the substitution of the connecting cables and
equipment other than manufacturer specified. It is the responsibility of the user to correct any
interference caused by such unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment.
Manufacturer and its authorized resellers or distributors will assume no liability for any
damage or violation of government regulations arising from failing to comply with these
guidelines.
Safety Information
In order to maintain compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines, this equipment should
be installed and operated with minimum distance [20cm] between the radiator and your body.
Use only with supplied antenna.
Unauthorized antenna, modification, or attachments could damage the transmitter and may
violate FCC regulations.
MPE Statement
Your device contains a low power transmitter. When device is transmitted it sends out Radio
Frequency (RF) signal.
Prohibition of Co-location
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter
Caution Statement of the FCC Radio Frequency Exposure
This Wireless LAN radio device has been evaluated under FCC Bulletin OET 65C and found
compliant to the requirements as set forth in CFR 47 Sections 2.1091, 2.1093, and
15.247(b)(4) addressing RF Exposure from radio frequency devices. The radiation output
power of this Wireless LAN device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, this device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact
during normal operation – as a mobile or portable device but use in a body-worn way is
strictly prohibit. When using this device, a certain separation distance between antenna and
nearby persons has to be kept to ensure RF exposure compliance. In order to comply with
the RF exposure limits established in the ANSI C95.1 standards, the distance between the
antennas and the user should not be less than [20cm].

Explanation of fields on Simple Setup page
The Simple Setup page allows you to configure the wireless and Ethernet properties of the
DeskBridge
SSID (Service Set Identifier): This field allows you to enter the SSID of the AP you wish to
connect to. Enter “ANY” to connect to any available AP.
Operating Mode: This field allows you to select the operating mode for the Ethernet adapter.
In Infrastructure operating mode, the DeskBridge connects to an available AP. In Ad-hoc
mode, the DeskBridge connects with other wireless devices in a wireless network. Select Ad-
hoc mode when there is no available AP in your area.
Channel: Select the channel used by the AP (Infrastructure) or the wireless device (Ad-hoc)
to establish connection.
Transmission Rate: This field allows you to adjust the data transmission rate between the
DeskBridge and the AP or other wireless device.
Preamble: Allows you to set the preamble mode for a 2.4GHz/Il Mb network to Long, Short,
or Auto. The default preamble mode is Long. Authentication Method. The Authentication
Method field allows you to enable or disable the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.
WEP encryption secures wireless data transmission between the DeskBridge and other
devices in the wireless network.
Encryption: This option allows you to specify a 64-bit or a 128-bit WEP key. A 64-bit
encryption contains 10 hexadecimal digits or 5 ASCII characters. A 128-bit encryption
contains 26 hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters.
Pass Phrase: Type a combination of up to 64 letters, numbers, or symbols in the Pass
Phrase field. The DeskBridge utility uses an algorithm to generate four WEP keys based on
the typed combination.
Default Key: This option allows you to select the default WEP key.
MAC cloning: MAC cloning allows the DeskBridge to use the MAC address of the host
computer in communicating with other wireless devices. MAC cloning supports certain
applications and devices such as Xbox and PlayStation® game consoles. MAC cloning is
enabled by default.
Single Client: By default it is possible to connect a multi-port hub to the Ethernet interface of
a DeskBridge and hence attach multiple clients. If Single Client Mode is enabled then only
one client at a time can connect - even if a multi-port hub is connected. The first device to
connect will prevent subsequent devices from establishing a connection.
DHCP Relay: By default the DeskBridge enables DHCP relay when MAC Cloning is
disabled, this can result in DHCP responses from some DHCP servers being discarded if
the network in which IP addresses are being allocated is different to the default network
of the DeskBridge (192.168.1.x). Turning off DHCP relay may resolve this problem.
Button Scan Mode:The Button Scan Mode allows you to use the reset button to connect to
an access point (Infrastructure mode) or wireless device (Ad-hoc mode) saved in the Profile
Table of the configuration utility.
7
You save the profile of the wireless connection using the Site Survey window. You must save
at least one wireless connection profile before using the Button Scan Mode.
Scan Mode: This field allows you to select the scan mode for button scanning. Click the
arrow to display available options.
Find the connection with the strongest link quality – When the reset button is pressed for less
than 5 seconds, the DeskBridge connects to an AP or wireless device with the strongest
signal
