Functional Overview
The functions supported by the STA (station) Firmware are:
The WLAN PC-Card is designed to operate in the 2.4GHz ISM
frequency band, channels 1 to 11, as specified by the FCC in the USA.
The card will also operate on channels 12 through 14, where permitted
by local regulatory authorities. Radio equipment must be certified in a
country prior to use. Refer to Table 4 for a list of countries and
agencies that have approved the ISL37300P-EVAL for operation.
• CSMA /CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
Avoidance) with Random Backoff
The Intersil PRISM Chip Set allows for high level integration for
reduced size, increased throughput, improved radio performance
and faster time to market. The WLAN PC-card implements Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum DSSS technology providing superior
noise and signal jamming immunity including less severe impact
from unintentional radiators such as microwave ovens. The user
can connect the PC-card in an ad-hoc peer to peer networking
scheme, allowing for instant network setup in any office
environment. By using an access point, the wireless LAN can be
set up to allow for a greater number of users to interconnect, and to
increase the coverage area. With a portal (i.e. Access Point), the
wireless LAN can be easily connected into an existing wired LAN,
allowing for easy expansion of the service.
Compared to the PRISM II chip set, the PRISM 2.5 generation
offers:
• Low loss front end designed for maximum range
• Higher level of chip integration and less peripheral components
to reduce material costs
• Support of optional IEEE 802.11 Short Preamble for
significantly increased data throughput
• Has a Type II PC Card form factor
A complete Reference Design for the ISL37300P is available to
ensure minimum time-to-market. This information contains details
for manufacturing a PC Card WLAN assembly, including Gerber
PC board files, a Bill of Material with component sourcing,
mechanical drawings, a detailed Radio Description with debug
directions and a test plan.
• WEP Security
• Short/Long Preamble with multirate
• RTS/CTS Handshake (Ready To Send/ Clear To Send) and NAV
Management (Network Allocation Vector)
• MAC Level Acknowledgments (Media Access Control)
• Re-Transmission of Unacknowledged Frames
• Duplicate Detection and Rejection
• Broadcast and Multicast Frames
• Fragmentation and Re-Assembly
• Power Management (Planned)
• Timestamp Synchronization
• DCF (Distributed Coordination Function)
• Beacon Generation in an Ad-Hoc Network
• Probe Response Generation in an Ad-Hoc Network
Card Information Structure
The standard Intersil WLAN PC Card will be supplied with
information embedded in the CIS shown in Table 2. It should be
noted that in most systems this information is displayed when the
card is inserted. Customization of the CIS for specific customer
requirements is available upon request, to enable customer
information to be displayed when the card is inserted.

The ISL3873 Media Access Controller (MAC)
Protocol Handler
The ISL3873 MAC/Baseband Processor and its firmware are
responsible for running the IEEE 802.11 protocol in the WLAN
card. This section describes the features of IEEE 802.11 that are
implemented.
IEEE 802.11 International Agreement and
Frequency Assignments
The IEEE 802 LAN committee has forged an international
agreement providing for wireless data communication standards
for the frequency range of 2.4GHz to 2.4835GHz, as allocated by
the FCC in the USA, and in the 2.471GHz to 2.497GHz
frequency range, as specified by the regulatory authority in
Japan. These standards are designed to focus the industry to
FN8026
develop highly integrated, low cost, interoperable WLAN
equipment, of which the ISL37300P-EVAL is a prime example.
In the U.S., there are 11 channels specified by the FCC in the
2.412GHz to 2.462GHz range. In Japan, one channel at 2.484GHz
is authorized. The ETSl (European) regulatory body conforms to
the USA (FCC) channel assignments with the exception that
channels 12 and 13 are also allowed. Some countries in Europe,
notably France and Spain have unique channel restrictions.
Although information contained in Table 3 is deemed to be
accurate, local regulatory authorities should be consulted before
using such equipment.
The available channels of operation in the 2.4GHz to 2.4835GHz and
2.471GHz to 2.497GHz ranges are as follows:

The ISL37300P is shipped with USA-compliant firmware. In order
to ensure regulatory-compliant channel usage in a particular
country, special geographic-specific firmware is available for
customer production assemblies which restricts channel usage.
Examples include ETSI-compliant firmware, etc. Since the end
user does not have the ability to alter this firmware, regulatory
compliance is ensured.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
FCC Radio Frequency 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 when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. 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.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at his own expense.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
FN8026
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
References
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
For Intersil documents available on the internet, see web site
http://www.intersil.com
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
or
• 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.
FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure
The EIRP was measured for the lower, middle and highest
frequencies used by the transmitter. The results in Table 5 are
based on a safe distance between antenna and operator of 8
inches. The equipment therefore fulfills the requirements on
power density for general population / uncontrolled exposure of
1.0 mW/cm 2 and therefore complies with the requirements of
FCC part 15.247 (b) (4) and FCC OET Bulletin 65 incl.
supplements A, B and C.
