User manual
Introduction
1. Introduction
WN4402A is an industrial MiniPCI Card which enables wireless networking systems
to attain data transmission speeds at least up to 54 megabits-per-second (Mbps), while
remaining backward compatible to the existing installed base of over 15 million Wi-Fi
systems worldwide. It supports operation to both the IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g
standards.
WN4402A will enable a next generation of high-data-rate platforms for operation in
the 2.4 GHz band that deliver a five-fold speed increase. The cost and performance
advantages will make it an ideal solution for high bandwidth enterprise applications,
such as wireless video conferencing and large file transfers, as well as advanced home
networking applications such as multi-channel CD-quality audio and DVD-quality
video streaming. WN4402A incorporates the 802.11g Standard's mandatory
modulation schemes—Complementary Code Keying (CCK), which is used in 802.11b,
and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), used in 802.11g. Using
CCK ensures backward-compatibility with the installed Wi-Fi 802.11b base, while
OFDM provides the speed required for today's high-bandwidth applications.
The additional hard key function provides a truly flexible usage to directly disable and
re-enable the RF power without going into the utility program.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
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.
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, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
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.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following
conditions:
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 (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements,
etc.).
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 FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can
not 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 device where the antenna
may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and
users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
“Contains TX FCC ID: RAXWN4402AARC”.
Manual Information That Must be Included
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user
regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the users manual of the
end product which integrate this module.
The users manual for OEM integrators 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 20 cm from all persons
and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
