Information To Be Provided by the OEM to the End User
Technical Background (Publication to OEM end user is optional)
European and other countries around the world are concerned that 5 GHz (802.11a) wireless LANs will
interfere with satellite and radar systems operating in similar ranges.
The European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (known by the acronym
CEPT, from its French name) published requirements for 5 GHz wireless LANs. Frequencies to be used
were 5.15 GHz to 5.35 GHz and 5.47 to 5.725 GHz. To mitigate interference with radars and other
systems, the following features were added:
Page 12 of 12
Intel Confidential
Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100A LAN MiniPCI Adapter OEM Regulatory and Safety Notice Guidelines
•
Transmit power control (TPC) allows for a mitigation factor of at least 3 dB on the aggregate
power from a large number of devices, which requires each device to be capable of operating at
least 6 dB below the maximum allowed in the same band.
•
Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) ensures a uniform spreading across the available spectrum,
and allows the detection and avoidance of channels with conflicting radar signals.
As a result of these requirements and especially DFS, which is still under standardization, 802.11a
wireless LAN products would have been excluded from use in Europe.
However, an interim solution was agreed upon by the community of suppliers in conjunction with
regulatory bodies that will allow 802.11a products to be used in Europe. The frequencies permitted are
5.15 to 5.25 GHz or 5.15 to 5.35 GHz (depending on regulations in each country). DFS is not required.
The allowable maximum power output is dependent on frequency band spreading and on whether
transmit power control is implemented or not:
The following table summarizes the interim requirements:
Table 1: Maximum Allowable Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP)
Frequency band
With TPC
Without TPC
5.15 to 5.35 GHz
Max 60 mW
Max 30 mW
Notes:
1. Values expressed are EIRP (equivalent isotropic radiated power), which means that the power
measurement includes antenna gain and cable loss. TPC provides for a greater maximum power
value, which allows greater coverage.
2. Max allowable power with TPC varies by country. The table above represents a summary of the
lowest maximum allowable power across all countries targeted with SKU 2.
3. The Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100A LAN MiniPCI Adapter supports a maximum of 50 mW.

Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100A LAN MiniPCI Adapter OEM Regulatory and Safety Notice Guidelines
Transmit Power Control User Instructions (Publication to OEM end user is required)
Modifying the transmission power level of your wireless LAN adapter allows you to expand or confine a
coverage area in relation to other wireless devices that could be operating nearby. Decreasing the
transmit power level will reduce the radio coverage.
Setting Transmit Power Using the Intel® PROSet Configuration Utility
1. Start Intel PROSet. In the PROSet interface, click the Adapter tab.
2. In the Power Settings section of the Adapter screen, click Configure.
3. On the Power Settings window, find the Transmission Power Control (802.11a) section.
Note: The default transmission power setting is 50 mW, but local regulations in EU and CEPT
countries require that the lowest possible power setting be used consistent with acceptable link
quality.
The default setting for SKU 2 (Europe SKU) allows use of the Intel adapter in countries where
802.11a is currently allowed, including Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,
Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Saudi
Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, USA.
4. To reduce the amount of output power used, move the power slider bar to a lower value, then
check the strength and quality of the wireless link, using the Intel PROSet icon in the system tray
or the General tab in Intel PROSet.
5. Modify the power setting and check signal strength repeatedly until you find the lowest power
setting value that still yields acceptable link quality.

USA and Canada Safety Requirements and Notices
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 93-62 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The Intel PRO/Wireless LAN
MiniPCI Adapter products meet the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 2001, and
ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual
will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits.
The following safety precautions should be observed:
•
Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
•
Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching
any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
•
Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; if not, the
radio may be damaged.
Use in specific environments:
The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety
directors of such environments.
The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.
