 Qualcomm Atheros, Inc.      • vii COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL    January 2012   Introduction The Atheros 802.11n + Bluetooth Adapter supports 802.11n and Bluetooth EDR2.0 operation.  The card uses the Atheros Client Utility (ACU) which is a user-mode utility designed to edit and add profiles for selected Atheros network interface adapters. System Requirements  Laptop/ PC containing:   32-bit PCI Express Bus  32 MB memory or greater  300 MHz processor or higher  Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows XP, or Windows NT 4.0 (with Service Pack 6) Profile Management Configure the wireless network adapter (wireless card) from the Profile Management tab of the Atheros Client Utility.   Add a profile  Edit a profile  Import a Profile  Export a Profile  Order profiles  Switch to a different profile  Remove a profile  Connect to a Different Network  The wireless network adapter works in either infrastructure mode (which uses an access point) or ad hoc mode (a group of stations participating in the wireless LAN). Create or Modify a Configuration Profile To add a new configuration profile, click New on the Profile Management tab. To modify a configuration profile, select the configuration from the Profile list and click the Modify button. The Profile Management dialog box displays the General tab.  In profile management:   Edit the General tab.  Edit the Security tab.  Edit the Advanced tab. To configure a profile for ad hoc or access point (infrastructure) mode, edit the Network Type field on the Advanced tab. Note that the ACU only allows the creation of 16 configuration profiles.  After the creation of 16 profiles, clicking the New button displays an error message.  Remove an old profile or modify an existing profile for a new use.

  Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. 1700 Technology Drive, San Jose, CA 95110 t: 408/773-5200 f: 408/773-9940   General Tab In the Atheros Client Utility, access the General tab by clicking New or Modify on the Profile Management tab. Edit the fields in the General tab to configure the configuration profile. Make sure to also edit the Security and Advanced tabs.  Profile Name Identifies the configuration profile. This name must be unique. Profile names are not case sensitive. Client Name Identifies the client machine.  Network Names (SSIDs) The IEEE 802.11 wireless network name. This field has a maximum limit of 32 characters.  Configure up to three SSIDs (SSID1, SSID2, and SSID3).  Advanced Tab In the Atheros Client Utility, access the Advanced tab by clicking New or Modify on the Profile Management tab, then clicking the Advanced tab in Profile Management.  Edit the fields in the Advanced tab of Profile Management to configure the profile.  Transmit Power Level Selects the transmit power level in mW. Actual transmit power may be limited by hardware. Power Save Mode Specify:   Maximum mode causes the  access point to buffer incoming messages for the wireless adapter.  The adapter periodically polls the access point to see if any messages are waiting.  Normal uses maximum when retrieving a large number of packets, then switches back to power save mode after retrieving the packets.  Off turns power saving off, thus powering up the wireless adapter continuously for a short message response time. Network Type Specifies the network as either infrastructure or ad hoc. 802.11b Preamble Specifies the preamble setting in 802.11b.  The default setting is Short & Long (access point mode), which allows both short and long headers in the 802.11b frames.  The adapter can only use short radio headers if the access point supports and uses them. Set to Long Only to override allowing short frames. Authentication Mode Select the mode the wireless adapter uses to authenticate to an AP:   Auto causes the adapter to attempt authentication using shared, but switches it to open authentication if shared fails.  Open enables an adapter to attempt authentication regardless of its WEP settings. It will only associate with the access point if the WEP keys on both the adapter and the access point match.  Shared only allows the adapter to associate with access points that have the same WEP key.

To remove the newly installed driver from the system if the system does not have previously installed versions of the NDIS driver, proceed to Step 4. 1. To remove the NDIS driver from the OS, go to Device Manager, right-click Atheros AR500x Wireless Network Adapter, and choose Uninstall. 2. Click OK to uninstall the device. 3. When the device is uninstalled from Device Manager, search for and delete the driver files that reside in the system. a. Go to the Start menu and choose Search > For Files or Folders. b. Enter oem*.inf in the Search for files or folders named: field, and enter Atheros in the Containing text: field. c. Click Search Now. A few files matching these criteria are possible, if previous drivers have not been removed properly. d. Choose the files that have been found and delete them from the system. 4. To complete the uninstallation, remove the file ar5211.sys from the folder \WINNT\system32\drivers.  Additional Security Features These security features prevent attacks on a wireless network's WEP keys. The wireless adapter automatically supports each of these features, but these features must be enabled on the access point. Message Integrity Check (MIC) MIC prevents bit-flip attacks on encrypted packets. In a bit-flip attack, someone intercepts an encrypted message retransmits it after some alterations.  Thus the receiver accepts the message as legitimate.  The MIC adds some bytes to each packet to protect it against tampering. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) This feature prevents attacks on WEP in which someone catches encrypted packets and uses their initialization vector (IV) to decipher the WEP key. TKIP removes the predictability to protect both unicast and broadcast WEP keys.
 Qualcomm Atheros, Inc.      • xxvii COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL    January 2012   Broadcast Key Rotation EAP authentication provides dynamic unicast WEP keys for wireless adapters, but uses static broadcast keys. In broadcast WEP key rotation, the access point supplies a dynamic broadcast WEP key and changes it at intervals.

 Qualcomm Atheros, Inc.      • liii COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL    January 2012   Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. This radio transmitter (IC: 4104A-AR5B22/ Model: AR5B22) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna type, maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this user’s manual, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. Ce dispositif a été conçu pour fonctionner avec une antenne ayant un gain maximal de PIFA antenne avec dBi [3.62]. Une antenne à gain plus élevé est strictement interdite par les règlements d'Industrie Canada. L'impédance d'antenne requise est de 50 ohms. Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peutfonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pourl'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectriqueà l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que lapuissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire àl'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. Le présent émetteur radio (IC: 4104A-AR5B22/ Model: AR5B22)  a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.  依據國家通訊傳播委員會低功率電波輻射性電機管理辦法: 第十二條 經型式認證合格之低功率射頻電機,非經許可,公司、商號或使用者均不得擅自變更頻率、加大功率或變更原設計之特性及功能。  第十四條 低功率射頻電機之使用不得影響飛航安全及干擾合法通信;經發現有干擾現象時,應立即停用,並改善至無干擾時方得繼續使用。前項合法通信,指依電信法規定作業之無線電通信。低功率射頻電機須忍受合法通信或工業、科學及醫療用電波輻射性電機設備之干擾。 本模組於取得認證後將依規定於模組本體標示審合格籤,並要求平台上標示「本產品內含射頻模組:XXXXXXXXXX」 在5.25-5.35 秭赫(GHz)頻帶內操作之無線資訊傳輸設備,限於室內使用。
