Boadcom 802.11ag WLAN PCI-E Mini Card User's Guide
Model: BCM94311MCAG
Brand: BROADCOM
The Solution
BCM94311MCAG enables access to wireless local area networks (WLANs), enables the sharing of a local printer and files with others
in the network, enables Internet connection sharing, and enables roaming about the office—wire-free. This wireless LAN solution is
designed for both the home user and businesses—and it is scalable so that users can be added and new network features can be
enabled as networking needs grow.
Configuring a Network Profile in Infrastructure Mode (Windows® XP
Environment)
Before you can connect to a wireless network, you must configure a network profile for that network on your notebook computer. If
you purchased your notebook computer with the Boadcom WLAN Card already installed and set up at the factory, follow the
network profile configuration instructions provided below. If this is not the case, first verify that the Boadcom WLAN Card
has been properly installed in your computer according to the installation instructions. Then proceed with the following instructions
for configuring your network profiles.
To begin configuring a network profile, open Wireless Network Connection Properties.
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Network Connections.
2. Click Wireless Network Connection.
3. Under Network Tasks, click Change settings of this connection.
NOTE—For more information on how to configure a network profile and IEEE 802.1x authentication, click Learn about setting up
wireless network configuration.
You can configure a network profile for networks that are listed under Available networks as well as those that are not listed. When
you have completed configuring a network profile, the network name and icon appear at the top of the list under Preferred networks.
Your computer automatically connects to the network at the top of the list. Follow the applicable instruction set below, based on
whether or not the network is listed and whether or not the network requires network key information (check with your network
administrator or access point (AP) installer to see if network key information is required). NOTE—Both the network name and the
network key information are case-sensitive.

Wireless Interoperability
The Broadcom WLAN Card products are designed to be interoperable with any wireless LAN product that is based on
direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) radio technology and to comply
with the following standards:
●
●
●
IEEE Std 802.11b-1999. Standard on 2.4 GHz Wireless LAN
IEEE Std 802.11g. Standard on 2.4 GHz Wireless LAN
IEEE Std 802.11a-1999. Standard on 5 GHz Wireless LAN
The Broadcom WLAN Cards and Your Health
The Broadcom WLAN Cards, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy
emitted by these devices, however, is less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile phones.
The Broadcom WLAN Card devices operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and
recommendations. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and result from
deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature. In some
situations or environments, the use of a Broadcom WLAN Card wireless device may be restricted by the proprietor of the
building or responsible representatives of the applicable organization. Examples of such situations include the following:
●
●
Using the Broadcom WLAN Card equipment onboard airplanes, or
Using the Broadcom WLAN Card equipment in any other environment where the risk of interference with other
devices or services is perceived or identified as being harmful.
If uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless devices in a specific organization or environment (an airport, for example),
ask for authorization to use the Broadcom WLAN Card device before turning it on.
Regulatory Statements for BCM94311MCAG
Regulatory Information
USA—Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of 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. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it
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 tuning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
-Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
-Connect the equipment to 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.
CAUTION
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency
range. FCC requires this product to be used indoors for frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to
reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.
High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz
bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this device.
CAUTION: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation distance of at least 20
cm must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all persons. This device must not
be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Canada—Industry Canada (IC)
This device complies with RSS 210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of this device.”
L ‘ utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions suivantes : (1) il ne doit pas
produire de brouillage et (2) l’ utilisateur du dispositif doit étre prêt à accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement
du dispositif.
The term "IC" before the equipment certification number only signifies that the Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so
chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for
successful communication.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated
indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit
antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.
Pour empecher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant l'objet d'une licence, il doit
etre utilize a l'interieur et devrait etre place loin des fenetres afin de Fournier un ecram de
blindage maximal. Si le matriel (ou son antenne d'emission) est installe a l'exterieur, il doit faire
l'objet d'une licence.
CAUTION
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency
range. Industry Canada requires this product to be used indoors for frequency range 5.15 to 5.25
GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.
High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz
bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this device.
Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that
it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult
Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
