This product emits radio frequency energy, but the radiated output power of this device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact with the antenna during normal operation is minimized. 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 antenna and users. For laptop installations, the antenna must be installed to ensure that the proper spacing is maintained in the event the users places the device in their lap during use (i.e. positioning of antennas must be placed in the upper portion of the LCD panel only to ensure 20 cm will be maintained if the user places the device in their lap for use) and 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or Ambit Microsystems Corporation國碁電子(股)公司 5F-1, 5 Hsin-An Rd., Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park, Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C.

Ad-Hoc - Ad-Hoc is a peer- to-peer wireless network without Access Point. A group of wireless clients consistent an independent wireless LAN. Backbone - The core infrastructure of a network, the portion of the network that transports information from one central location to another central location. The information is then off-loaded onto a local system. BSS - Stands for “Basic Service Set.” An Access Point associated with several wireless stations. ESS - Stands for “Extended Service Set.” More than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set. An ESS is basically a roaming domain. Infrastructure - An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. MINI-PCI TYPE III– Mini-PCI is a small form factor version of the PCI specification. The Mini-PCI format comes in several different form factors: the Type I, Type II, and Type III. The Mini-PCI Type III card is the most popular of the MiniPCI standards. The Mini-PCI Type III golden finger plugs into a 124-pin card edge type connector that is similar to the SODIMMS type. Mini-PCI provides the same 32bit 33MHz performance that you have come to expect from the PCI bus. Mini-PCI is still pretty much an OEM product, as you are not yet able to go to a store and purchase a Mini-PCI card. Roaming - A function that allows one to travel with a mobile end system (wireless LAN mobile station, for example) through the territory of a domain (an ESS, for example) while continuously connecting to the infrastructure. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) - To prevent access from the unauthorized wireless stations to the data that is transmitting through the network, the Wireless LAN card provides the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) level of security that was part of the original 802.11 standard. The wireless LAN card supports both 64 bits WEP and 128 bits data encryption based on the RC4 algorithm. SSID - Short for Service Set Identifier. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID.
