INTRODUCTION
The Proxim PROXMB82 miniPCI module implements an IEEE
802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN (WLAN) with DFS Master function. MIMO operation is implemented
using three transmit and three receive chains per the 802.11n standard.
The device will be marketed under brand name: PROXMB and model: PROXMB82.
This module may be installed in PC and host processor systems using approved external antennas.
The module may be configured for 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz operation USING THE Web Server function
provided by Atheros Communications Inc. Please, refer to Atheros’ driver User Manual instructions
for details.
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 MHz
Channel 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 – 64 (5180 to 5320 MHz) in the 5150 to 5350 MHz 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.
Outdoor operations in the 5150~5250MHz, 5600~5650MHz band is prohibited.
This device has no Ad-hoc capability for 5250~5350MHz and 5470~5725MHz.
In order to meet new FCC, NTIA, FAA and industry restrictions to resolve interference to
Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) systems used at airports, any outdoor device installed
within 35 km of a TDWR location must be separated by at least 30 MHz (center-to-center) from
TDWR operating frequency (as shown in the table below). Channels 120-132 and 5600-5650
MHz band are disabled on outdoor products.
We recommend that all operators and installers register the location information of the UNII
devices operating outdoors in the 5470 – 5725 MHz band within 35 km of any TDWR location at
the WISPA sponsored database (see http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx). This
database may be used by government agencies in order to expedite resolution of any interference
to TDWRs.
Procedures on how to register the devices in the industry-sponsored database with the appropriate
information regarding the location and operation of the device and installer information can be
found on the database.

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.
