- 2 - I. Introduction i. Overview AzureWave IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN module, ---AW-GM320 is targeted to mobile devices including, Digital Still Cameras (DSCs), Portable Media Players (PMPs), and Gaming Devices, Notebook which need small footprint package, low power consumption, multiple interfaces and OS support. By using AW-GM320, the customers can easily enable the Wi-Fi embedded applications with the benefits of high design flexibility, short development cycle, and quick time-to-market. Compliance with the IEEE 802.11b/g standard, the AW-GM320 uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK and QAM baseband modulation technologies. A high level of integration and full implementation of the power management functions specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard minimize the system power requirements by using AW-GM320. In addition to the support of WPA/WPA2 and WEP 64-bit and 128-bit encryption, the AW-GM320 also supports the IEEE 802.11i security standard through the implementation of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)/Counter Mode CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP), and WEP with TKIP security mechanisms. The AW-GM320also supports IPSec with DES/3DES/ASE encryption and MD5/SHA-1 authentication. For the video, voice and multimedia applications, the AW-GM320 supports 802.11e Quality of Service (QoS). The AW-GM320 supports SDIO and G-SPI for WLAN to the host processor. ii. Features SDIO, G-SPI interfaces support for WLAN Multiple power saving modes for low power consumption IEEE 802.11i for advanced security Quality of Service (QoS) support for multimedia applications WLAN drivers for Vista, WinXP, WinCE, Linux 2.6, WinMobile 5.0/6.0 Lead-free design
- 3 - iii. Product Review 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
- 4 - ◎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.

- 22 - 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. IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to channels 1 through 11.
- 23 - 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, 3) For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1 to CH11 for 2.4G band by supplied firmware programming tool. OEM shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user regarding to Regulatory Domain change. As long as 3 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 FCC ID: TLZ-GM320”. Manual Information To the End User 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 user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual.
