Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for aClass B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limitsare designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in aresidential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radiofrequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with theinstructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particularinstallation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio ortelevision reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment offand on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of thefollowing 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. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by theparty responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate thisequipment. (1) The devices are restricted to indoor operations within the 5.15 to 5.25GHzrange. (2) For this device to operate in the 5.15 to 5.25GHz, so the devicesmust use integral antennas. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject tothe following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmfulinterference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,including interference that may cause undesired operation. IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for anuncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operatedwith minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with anyother antenna or transmitter.
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 antennaand users, and2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter orantenna.As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required.However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for anyadditional 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 examplecertain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCCauthorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on thefinal product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCCauthorization.End Product LabelingThis transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may beinstalled such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users (forexample access points, routers, wireless ADSL modems, and similar equipment). Thefinal end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains TXFCC ID: O7J-GL5054MP-AA”.Manual Information That Must be IncludedThe users manual for end users must include the following information in a prominentlocation “ IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliancerequirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide aseparation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located oroperating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
PCI CARD DRIVER INSTALLATION1. Insert the WLAN 54MBPS miniPCI CARD into the miniPCI slot of notebook PC,as described in the preceding section. Then insert the driver CD into the CD-ROM.2. Wait for the following dialog box to appear. Choose “Install from a list orspecific location (Advanced),” and click Next to continue.3. Under “Search for the best driver in these locations,” choose “Include thislocation in the search” and click Browse to find the location of the NDIS driver.When the driver location has been identified, click Next to continue.4. The NDIS evaluation driver currently does not have a digital signature fromMicrosoft. Therefore, Windows XP shows a warning message. Click ContinueAnyway to proceed with driver installation.5. Click Finish to complete driver installation, and refer to “Device configuration”for device configuration.
6. Go to Device Manager, right-click “Wireless Network Adapter,” and selectProperties to access to the properties of the adapter. 6. Configuration additions, modifications, and deletions are made under the“Settings” tab of “Wireless Network Adapter Properties.”Select one of theconfigurations under the configuration, click Modify or New and complete thesteps in “Infrastructure Mode” or “Ad Hoc Mode”to set up the station towork in infrastructure mode or ad hoc mode, respectively. Selecting Encryption Types
Atheros supports two encryption types; Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) andAdvanced Encryption Security (AES). By default, the STA is set to auto and will firstattempt to use AES and will only use WEP if AP only supports, or is configured forWEP only.1. Use the Advanced tab on the “ Wireless Network Adapter” dialog to change theencryption type. Infrastructure mode1. Under the“General”tab, make sure the“Locally Administered Address”checkbox is unchecked.
2. Usually, infrastructure mode is used in an enterprise environment where APs areinstalled and maintained by corporate IT staff. Much of the data in the enterprisenetwork is confidential. It is important to configure security to make sure onlystations with appropriate keys can receive sensitive data. The Wireless NetworkAdapter and NDIS driver support key lengths of 40 bits, 104 bits and 128 bits.Typically, the appropriate encryption and decryption keys are supplied by thecorporate IT staff. Ad Hoc Mode1. Similar to the setup of AP Infrastructure mode described in the previous section,ad hoc mode is also configured by changing the options in the “NetworkConfiguration Settings” window.TCP/IP Setup1. From the Start menu, choose Programs > Accessories > Communications >Network Connections. Find the “Local Area Connection” that is associatedwith the Atheros AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter. Right click thatconnection and click Properties.
2. Select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and click Properties. 3. Click “Use the following IP address” and input an IP address and Subnetmask. Depending on the type of network the station connects to, Gateway andDNS Configuration information can also be required. IP configurationinformation (DHCP or assigned IP address, Gateway and DNS server IPaddresses) is usually obtained from the corporate IT staff. For a simpledemonstration, the station is assigned a static IP address.4. Click OK in both“Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties” and “Local AreaConnection Properties”to complete the IP configuration.5. When a TCP/IP connection is established, the LinkMon utility can be used tomonitor the operating status of Wireless Network6. To map the drive on another machine to your computer, from the Start menu,choose My Computer and right-click to select “Map Network Drive....”
7. Assign the drive letter that maps to the network-shared folder and specify theshared folder information. Click Finish to map the drive.8. After mapping the drive, you can perform file transfers, video streaming, andall other network data transfers that are normally performed with wired 10/100Ethernet connections.
