Federal Communication Commission 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 in a residential installation. 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. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one of the following 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.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to channels 1 through 11.
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
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, and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna,
3) For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1 to CH11 for 2.4G band
by supplied firmware programming tool. OEM shall not supply any tool or info to the end-user regarding to
Regulatory Domain change.
As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM
integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional 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 example certain laptop
configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered
valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be
responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC
authorization.
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that 20
cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible

Industry Canada Statement
This device complies with RSS-210 of the Industry Canada Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1) this device may not cause interference and
2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 3.7dBi.
Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna
impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the EIRP is not more than required for successful communication.

INTRODUCTION
The 11b/g/n 1T1R WLAN Mini Card is a device that allows you connect your computer to a wireless local
area network (LAN). A wireless LAN allows your system to use wireless Radio Frequency (RF) technology to
transmit and receive data without physically attaching to the network. The Wireless protocols that come with
this product ensure data security and isolation from interference generated by other radio frequencies. This
card also allows you to take full advantage of your computer’s mobility with access to real-time information
and online services anytime and anywhere. In addition, this device eliminates the bother of pulling cable
through walls and under furniture. It even allows you to place your system in locations where cabling is
impossible. Modifying and augmenting networks has never been so easy.
Wireless Network Options
The Peer-to-Peer Network
This network installation lets you set a small wireless workgroup easily and quickly. Equipped with wireless
PC Cards or wireless PCI, you can share files and printers between each PC and laptop.
You can also use one computer as an Internet Server to connect to a wired global network and share files
and information with other computers via a wireless LAN.
The Access Point Network The network installation allows you to share files, printers, and Internet access
much more conveniently. With Wireless LAN Cards, you can connect wireless LAN to a wired global
network via an Access Point.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Install the device

IP Address
Note: When assigning IP Addresses to the computers on the network, remember to have the IP address for
each computer set on the same subnet mask. If your Broadband Router use DHCP technology, however, it
won’t be necessary for you to assign Static IP Address for your computer.
1. To configure a dynamic IP address (i.e. if your broadband Router has the DHCP technology), check the
Obtain an IP Address Automatically option.
2. To configure a fixed IP address (if you broadband Router is not DHCP supported, or when you need to
assign a static IP address), check the Use the following IP address option. Then, enter an IP address into the
empty field; for example, enter 192.168.1.254 in the IP address field, and 255.255.255.0 for the Subnet Mask.
