DRIVER INSTALLATION
Driver installation for Linux
1. Insert USB ash disk & WL-227N NIC before booting
2. Boot Linux system and login
3. Create path [Wireless]: mkdir /etc/Wireless
4. Mount USB Hard Disk: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
5. Copy tar le to Linux from USB Hard Disk:
cp /mnt/2008_0812_RT2880_iNIC_v1.1.8.0.tar.bz2 /etc/Wireless/
6. Decompress tar le to /etc/Wireless/, and it will generate a directory
[2008_0812_RT2880_iNIC_v1.1.8.0]:
tar -jxvf /etc/Wireless/2008_0812_RT2880_iNIC_v1.1.8.0.tar.bz2
7. Rename directory [2008_0812_RT2880_iNIC_v1.1.8.0] to [RT2880], in other
words, the driver’s path was /etc/Wireless/RT2880 (default path in Ralink
manual): mv 2008_0812_RT2880_iNIC_v1.1.8.0 RT2880
8. Now, we can complier driver (basic function):
a. Enter [RT2880] directory: cd RT2880
b. Rename [module-1.1.8.0] to [module]: mv module-1.1.8.0 module
c. Enter [/etc/Wireless/RT2880/module] directory: cd module
d. Complier driver: make
After make, it will generate ve les:
Module.sysmvers
rt2880_iNIC.ko
rt2880_iNIC.mod.c
rt2880_iNIC.mod.o
rt2880_iNIC.o
e. Copy iNIC_sta.bin and iNIC_sta_dat to [/etc/Wireless/RT2880/] from
[/etc/Wireless/RT2880/rmware/]:
• Enter [/etc/Wireless/RT2880/rmware/]: cd rmware
• Copy iNIC_sta.bin and iNIC_sta_dat to [/etc/Wireless/RT2880/] from
[/etc/Wireless/RT2880/rmware/]: cp iNIC_sta.* ../../

DRIVER INSTALLATION
9. Setup and bootstrap WL-227N NIC:
a. Setup WL-227N NIC:
insmod /etc/Wireless/RT2880/module/rt2880_iNIC.ko mode=sta
• If it shows “ra0:Ralink iNIC at 0xe0cc0000(hardware address),
00:43:0c:00:00:00 (MAC address), IRQ169 (IRQ address)”, the NIC is
boot strap successfully.
b. Bootstrap NIC parameters:
• IP address: ifcong ra0 inet 192.168.0.11 up
• If it shows the message as below, it is bootstrap successfully:
Send STARTUP to RT2880
close Firmware le
RACFG_CMD_BOOT_STARTUP
Update MAC(0)=00:11:22:33:44:55
Or, type [ifcong ra0] conguration. If it shows the message as below,
it is bootstrap successfully, too:

c. Setup NIC connect function:
Setup NIC frequency band: iwpriv ra0 set WirelessMode=9
Setup NIC connect target of AP: iwpriv ra0 set SSID=dlink
type [iwcong ra0] conguration. If it shows the message as below,
it is connect successfully:

SAFETY INFORMATION
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 installa-
tion. 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 interfer-
ence 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.
FCC CAUTION: Any changes or modications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.
FOR PRODUCTS AVAILABLE IN USA/CANADA: Only channels 1 to 11 can
be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible. This device and
its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter. This device is going to be operated in 5.15GHz
to 5.25GHz frequency ranges, it is restricted in indoor environment only.
END PRODUCTS SMALLER THAN 8cm x 10cm: This device complies with
Part 15 of 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.
MINIMUM DISTANCE: This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM
integrator is still responsible for the FCC compliance requirement of the
end product, which integrates this module. 20cm minimum distance has to
be able to be maintained between the antenna and the users for the host
this module is integrated into. Under such conguration, the FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an population/uncontrolled environment can
be satised.
END PRODUCT LABEL: Contains TX FCC ID: VUI-WL-227N
