FCC Compliance Statement
For United States Users
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 or television reception. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause interference to radio and 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 or more 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.
WARNING
The connection of a non-shielded equipment interface cable to this equipment will invalidate
the FCC Certification or Declaration of this device and may cause interference levels which
exceed the limits established by the FCC for this equipment. It is the responsibility of the user
to obtain and use a shielded equipment interface cable with this device. If this equipment has
more than one interface connector, do not leave cables connected to unused interfaces.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
The wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g adapter Model: WN6501CEP complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device should be installed
and operated with minimum distance 20 cm between the radiator and your body.
The holder of the grant of equipment authorization (Grantee) of the module is responsible
for the compliance of the module in its final configuration, provided that the OEM,
integrator, and/or end user has complied with all of the instructions provided by the Grantee
which indicate installation and/or operating conditions necessary for compliance.

v
The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is
not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device
into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module.
This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module
FCC ID: BKMWN6501C” or “Contains FCC ID: BKMWN6501C.” Any similar wording
that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label,
an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or,
must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In
the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment
authorization.

Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g USB adapter
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g USB adapter. You
are about to install a networking system that is not only fast and powerful,
but also easy to set up and simple to maintain. In a short time you and
those in your network will be able to share a local printer and files, access
the Internet, and roam about the office wire-free.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLAN’s transmit and receive data
over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections. Thus, WLAN’s
combine data connectivity with user mobility, and, through simplified
configuration, enable movable LAN’s.
This wireless networking solution has been designed for both large and
small businesses, and it is scalable so that you can easily add more users
and new network features as your business grows.

Link Status
The Link Status screen displays information on the current wireless access
point to which you are connected.
Status - Displays the BSSID (Basic Service Set ID) of the access point to
which the Wireless LAN USB adapter is associated. The BSSID is
the 6-byte hexadecimal ID number (the MAC address) of the associated
access point or base station. This information is only displayed, and not
configurable. Clients that have been associated with the same access point,
will display the same BSSID.
Extra Info - Shows the transmit power as a percentage.
Channel - The channel used to connect with the access point.
Link Speed - The data transmission speed.
Throughput - The amount of data (kilobits) transferred per second.
Link Quality - Shows the link quality of the wireless connection as a
percentage.

Site Survey
Site Survey scans and displays all wireless devices within range. Simply
double-click on the network you wish to join.
SSID - Service Set ID. The SSID is a code attached to all packets on a
wireless network to identify each packet as part of that network. It is
essentially the name of your network and can be up to a maximum of 32
alphanumeric characters in length. The green icon beside SSID WG302
shows you are connected to this network.
BSSID - Basic Service Set ID. The BSSID is the 6-byte hexadecimal ID
number (the MAC address) of the associated access point or base station in
an infrastructure network. In an ad hoc network, the BSSID is a random
number generated by the first station that communicates with other clients
on the network. This information is only displayed, and not configurable.
Signal - Displays the signal strength from the station to the listed access
points.
Channel - This is the channel used for the wireless connection.

Wireless mode - The RALINK Wireless Network Card supports 802.11a,
802.11b and 802.11g mode. (Default: 802.11 A/B/G mix)
Select Your Country Region Code - Choose the Country Region Code
for 802.11b/g and 802.11a.
B/G Protection - Co-existing 802.11b and 802.11g networks can lead to
network conflicts. The final 802.11g standard includes a protection
mechanism to ensure mixed 802.11b and 802.11g operation. To get
optimum performance it can be helpful to enable this feature which allows
b/g to co-exist at the expense of performance. (Default: Auto)
CCX 2.0 - The Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) specification is for
makers of 802.11 wireless LAN chips for ensuring compliance with Cisco’s
proprietary wireless LAN protocols. (Default: Disabled)

Tx Rate - Indicates the data transmission rate. Select an appropriate
transmission speed. Lower speeds will give a better range. (Default: Auto)
Tx BURST - Burst transmission combines a very high data signaling rate
with very short transmission times. (Default: Disabled)
Enable TCP Window Size - A TCP window limits the amount of
outstanding (unacknowledged by the recipient) data a sender can send on a
particular connection before it gets an acknowledgment back from the
receiver that it has received some of the data. (Default: Disabled)
Fast Roaming - Allows you to move from the range of one access point
to the range of another with a handoff of approximately 50 milliseconds or
less. (Default: Disabled)
Turn off RF - Click to turn off the radio frequency. This disables the
wireless feature. (Default: On)
Apply - Be sure to click the Apply button to enable your settings.
