USA—FCC a n d FAA
The FCC wit h it s act ion in ET Docket 96 - 8 has adopt ed a safet y st andard for hum an exposure t o radio frequency

according t o t he inst ruct ions found in t his m anual will result in exposure subst ant ially below t he FCC’s
recom m ended lim it s.
The following safet y precaut ions should be observed:
Do not t ouch or m ove ant enna while t he unit is t ransm it t ing or receiving.
Do not hold any com ponent cont aining t he radio such t hat t he ant enna is very close or t ouching any

Use in specific environm ent s:
The use of wireless adapt ers in hazardous locat ions is lim it ed by t he const raint s posed by t he safet y

SSI D ( Service

SSI D or net work nam e is a value t hat cont rols access t o a wireless net work. The SSI D for your
wireless net work card m ust m at ch t he SSI D for any access point t hat you want t o connect wit h.
I f t he value does not m at ch, you are not grant ed access t o t he net work. Each SSI D m ay be up

A st ealt h access point is one t hat has t he capabilit y and is configured t o not broadcast it s SSI D.
This is t he WiFi net work nam e t hat appears when a DMU ( Device Managem ent Ut ilit y, such as
I nt el® PROSet / Wireless WiFi Connect ion Ut ilit y) scans for available wireless net works. Alt hough
t his can enhance wireless net work securit y, it is com m only considered a weak securit y feat ure.
To connect t o a st ealt h access point , a user m ust specifically know t he SSI D and configure t heir
DMU accordingly. The feat ure is not a part of t he 802.11 specificat ion, and is known by differing
nam es by various vendors: closed m ode, privat e net work, SSI D broadcast ing.

TLS ( Transport A t ype of aut hent icat ion m et hod using t he Ext ensible Aut hent icat ion Prot ocol ( EAP) and a

client and server. The client can use anot her aut hent icat ion prot ocol. Typically password- based
prot ocols challenge over t his encrypt ed channel t o enable server validat ion. The challenge and
response packet s are sent over a non - exposed TLS encrypt ed channel. TTLS im plem ent at ions

WEP ( Wired

Wired Equivalent Privacy, 64 - and 128- bit ( 64 - bit is som et im es referred t o as 40 - bit ) . This is a
low - level encrypt ion t echnique designed t o give t he user about t he sam e am ount of privacy t hat
he would expect from a LAN. WEP is a securit y prot ocol for wireless local area net works
( WLANs) defined in t he 802.11b st andard. WEP is designed t o provide t he sam e level of securit y
as t hat of a wired LAN. WEP aim s t o provide securit y by dat a over radio waves so t hat it is

WEP Key
Eit her a pass phrase or hexadecim al key.
The pass phrase m ust be 5 ASCI I charact ers for 64 - bit WEP or 13 ASCI I charact ers for 128- bit
WEP. For pass phrases, 0 - 9, a- z, A- Z, and ~ ! @# $% ^ &* ( ) _+ | ` - = { } | [ ] \ : " ; '< > ?,./ are all valid

The hex key m ust be 10 hexadecim al charact ers ( 0 - 9, A- F) for 64 - bit WEP or 26 hexadecim al
