Hardware 2.1 Hardware Environment 2.1.1 Introduction LA-5127 CF card can be used in handheld mobile devices to provide wireless network access. LA-5127 communicates using Radio Frequencies (RF) between two or more users or between a user and the wired network. The module implements the IEEE802.11g physical (RF) specification. The chipset used provides for modulation, demodulation, spreading and despreading of the RF signals. 2.1.2 Card Dimensions LA-5127 is a modified type I CFA card. See Appendix 2 for Mechanical Interface Drawing. 2.1.3 Operating Channels Channel Number Channel Frequency (MHz) Countries 1 2412 USA, Canada, EU, Japan 2 2417 USA, Canada, EU, Japan 3 2422 USA, Canada, EU, Japan 4 2427 USA, Canada, EU, Japan 5 2432 USA, Canada, EU, Japan 6 2437 USA, Canada, EU, Japan 7 2442 USA, Canada, EU, Japan 8 2447 USA, Canada, EU, Japan 9 2452 USA, Canada, EU, Japan 10 2457 USA, Canada, EU, Japan

IEEE 802.11g Channels 2.1.4 Electrical Interface The electrical interface for LA-5127 is PC16. The chipset used supports this interface; therefore no external component is required. The host must support the PC16 interface as well. The card uses only the 16-bit interface. 3. WinCE Software Support Driver support for the 5127 radio is available for Windows CE Embedded 5.0. 3.1 WinCE Card Configuration: Device configuration is made using a built-in Microsoft OS WLAN configuration service (i.e. a utility) commonly known as Wireless Zero Configuration (WCZ). WZC allows a wireless device to connect to an existing wireless network, change wireless network connection settings, configure a new wireless network connection, and specify preferred wireless networks. WZC will also notify the user when new wireless networks are available. Once a desired wireless network is selected, WZC will automatically configure the wireless card to match the setting of the network and will attempt a network connection.

Any changes or modifications to Symbol Technologies equipment, not expressly approved by Symbol Technologies, could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The OEM integrator must NOT provide information in the user guide of the end product regarding how to install or remove this RF module. 4.1 Final Product Compliance The model number used for Regulatory Approvals is LA-5127C1 The LA-5127 has been regulatory approved for OEM integrations which meet the following conditions: 1. The radio integration is embedded 2. The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users 3. The ‘Type’ and ‘Gain’ of the antenna selected for the integration of the external antenna must meet the requirements as detailed in section 8. Used outside of these conditions will trigger re-approval. Symbol advises the use of an accredited test laboratory for advice. Be prepared, the certification process for your product may take from a few weeks to several months.

AS THE INTEGRATOR, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHAT ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS ARE REQUIRED OF THE COUNTRY IN WHICH YOUR PRODUCT WILL BE MARKETED. FINAL PRODUCT MAY REQUIRE NON-RADIO FREQUENCY APPROVALS SUCH AS PRODUCT SAFETY, EMC, AND SAR. 4.2 Regulatory Standards LA-5127 has been approved to comply with the standards listed below Electrical Safety: Certified to UL / cUL 60950-1, IEC / EN60950-1 RF USA: FCC Part 15.247, 15.407 EMI/EMS: North America: FCC Part 15 4.3 Regulatory Approvals 4.3.1 USA Release USA – North America Federal Communications Commission (FCC), US Equipment Authorization 4.4 Reference Antenna (applicable to connector version card) A reference antenna has been used during the approval process for the connector version radio card. Specific details of the reference antenna used for testing is detailed in the table below. Important Note: Use of an antenna which is the same ‘type’ (eg. Dipole) and has a gain equal to or less that the reference antenna can be used without recertification. Note: The Adapter cable must be considered as it is part of the system gain. Use of an alternative antenna, different ‘type’ or same ‘type’ but higher gain will invalidate the country approvals. Under this instant the OEM integrator is responsible for re-evaluating the end product and obtaining separate approvals.
