CONFIGURATION This section provide procedures for connecting and configuring the AP. Configuration can be performed either from a web browser accessing the build-in web server, or by entering commands using the command line interface (CLI). For detailed information on using the server refer to “AP Web Server and for using CLI, refer to detailed operational guide provided by Atheros for the chipset. AP Initial Configuration Configure the AP for its Service Set Identifier (SSID) unique to the application. This configuration can be done either through a web browser with access to the build-in AP web server, or by commands using the command line interface (CLI). WEB Browser 3. Select the Access Point Web Server hotlink. 4. A dialog box appears requesting login authorization. When prompted, enter the following information to log in: Login: Admin (case-sensitive) Password: 5up 5. Click OK to complete the login process. The 5 GHz Statistics window will appear. 6. Select the Configuration hotlink from the navigation menu. The system Configuration window will appear. 7. Enter the SSID (name or address) for the AP in the SSID field. The SSID must be 132 characters in length.

To configure a single SSID to have more then one AP in a single SSID, specify a unique System Name for each AP within that single SSID. Note that range of available channels will be automatically determined by factory settings. Note that the radio channel is specified using the IEEE 802.11 a standard. For example, channel 48 is the equivalent of 5.240 GHz. The channel number is derived as: Channel Frequency (in MHz) – 5000 MHzChannel Number = 5MHz 1 Click Update to commit the changes. 2 After all configuration changes are complete, reboot the AP to enable them. To reboot AP, click on the REBOOT AP button that appears. For detailed information on using the server refer to “AP Web Server” and for using CLI refer to “AP Command-Line Interface” provided in Appendixes A and B of Atheros MPCI Module User’s Guide.

FCC Requirements for Operation in the United States This device is restricted to indoor use only due to its operation in 5150 to 5250 MHz and 5470 to 5725 MHz frequency ranges in accordance with latest FCC regulations. Host systems using Porxim Firmware with this 802.11 a/b/g/n 3x3 MIMO nimiPCI module to be sold in the United States do not have country code settings and are factory configured to only operate on the channels allowed by the FCC. Master devices with a US SKU that contain the 802.11 a/b/g/n Radio module are limited to the following operating channels: ? 1 -11 (2412 to 2462 MHz) in the 2.4 GHz band ? 36 – 50 (5180 to 5250 MHz) in the 5150 to 5250MHz band ? 100 – 116 (5500 to 5580 MHz) and 132 – 140 (5660 to 5700 MHz) in the 5470 to 5725 MHz band ? 149 – 165 (5745 to 5825 MHz) in the 5725 to 5825 MHz band High power radars may use the 5250 to 5350 MHz and 5470 to 5725 MHz frequency ranges in your area. Such radar stations can cause interference and damage to this device. This radio module implements a radar detection function which may cause interruption of normal operation when radar signal is detected. 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. RF Exposure To ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, the antennas used for this device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons. This device is going to be operated in 5150 to 5250GHz frequency range, it is restricted inindoor environment only.

FCC Statement: 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. 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. 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. For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 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 5.15~5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted in indoor environment only. FCC NOTICE: To comply with FCC part 15 rules in the United States, the system must be professionally installed to ensure compliance with the Part 15 certification. It is the responsibility of the operator and professional installer to ensure that only certified systems are deployed in the United States. The use of the system in any other combination (such as co-located antennas transmitting the same information) is expressly forbidden.

IC Statement This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. 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. Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme á la norme NMB-003 du Canada. For product available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 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. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p) is not more than that permitted for successful communication. This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of [30] dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than [30] dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of information to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology. The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
