OEM Installation Guide for WMP-A13 FCC 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. (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 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. 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. FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement: 1. This transmitter has been demonstrated co-located operation compliance requirement with [Outdoor AP/MODEL No: DWL-2700AP / FCC ID: KA22002090027-1]. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except the configuration listed below. -WMP-A13/5dBi dual band antenna co-locate DWL-2700AP/4.5dBi dual band antenna -WMP-A13/14dBi panel directional antenna co-locate DWL-2700AP/16dBi panel directional antenna -WMP-A13/18dBi panel directional antenna co-locate DWL-2700AP/16dBi panel directional antenna 2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body. Caution for 5GHz According to FCC 15.407(e), the device is intended to operate in the frequency band of 5.15GHz to 5.25GHz under all conditions of normal operation. Normal operation of this device is restricted to indoor used only to reduce harmful interference to co-channel MSS operations. IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. End Product Labeling This transmitter module is authorized only for use in devices where the antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users (for example access points, routers, wireless ADSL modems, and similar equipment). The final end product must be labeled in visible area with the following: “Contains TX FCC ID: RRK2004090192-1” End Product Manual Information The user manual for end users must include the following information in a prominent location “IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.” Test Utility Installation: 1. Unzip “ART48bld5.ZIP” to “C:\”. 2. Run “inst_new_drv_2K.bat”. 3. The utility must run on Win2000 and the Win2000 directory is “C:\WINNT\”. Configuration: 1. Open the artsetup.txt file, and modify some configuration to 0x2034 the following at windows path : C:\ART48bld5\artsetup.txt Modify the value to 0x2034 2. Open the DOS console window, and start the test utility with typing the following at the DOS command prompt: C:\ART48bld5\art.exe 3. Once ART.EXE is executed, a menu with test options will appear. To run a test, press the character key that is assigned to the test option. For example, press “c” to run the continuous transmit test, or press “r” to run the continuous receive test. 4. Continuous Transmit Options. The channel frequency, data rate and output power could be changed in continuous transmit options. For example, press “i” to increase the pcdac value to increase the output power. Press “b” to change the Turbo Mode or Normal Mode. Press ESC to return to the main Test Options menu when finished. The Continuous transmit power must press “s” change to TX100 Test mode and use “Tx100” Mode to Test. *Note that the initial frequency could be set in “artsetup.txt” directly. 5. Continuous Receive Options Continuous receive options will put the radio into receive mode to allow for radio measurements. Press ESC to return to the main Test Options menu when finished. 6. EEPROM Function The function can Backup and restore EEPROM data. For example, press “c” to Display calibration data. Press ESC to return to the main Test Options menu when finished. *Note that the calibration data could be see the Output power and Pcdac setting. 1.0 Scope 1.1 Document This document is to specify the product requirements for 802.11a Mini-PCI Card.
