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.
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.

5. Modifying a Wireless Network
5.1 Infrastructure Mode and Ad Hoc Mode
You can set the Wireless Network Adapter to work in either Infrastructure mode or Ad Hoc
mode.
NOTE! Ad-hoc mode is available only for 802.11b/g. It is not available for 802.11a. This is a
client product and do not have radar detection function specified by FCC. The software will
not let you to use ad-hoc under 802.11a.
Infrastructure Mode
In infrastructure mode, devices communicate with each other by first going through an Access
Point (AP). Wireless devices can communicate with each other or can communicate with a
wired network. When one AP is connected to wired network and a set of wireless stations, it
is referred to as a BSS (Basic Service Set).
Ad Hoc Mode
Ad-hoc mode is also called “peer-to-peer mode” or “Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS)”.
In ad hoc mode, devices communicate directly with each other without using an Access Point
(AP).
NOTE! Ad-hoc mode is available only for 802.11b/g. It is not available for 802.11a. This is a
client product and do not have radar detection function specified by FCC. The software will
not let you to use ad-hoc under 802.11a.

Appendix A: FAQ about WLAN
1. Can I run an application from a remote computer over the wireless network?
This will depend on whether or not the application is designed to be used over a network.
Consult the application’s user guide to determine whether it supports operation over a
network.
2. Can I play computer games with other members of the wireless network?
Yes, as long as the game supports multiple players over a LAN (local area network).
Refer to the game’s user guide for more information.
3. What is Spread Spectrum?
Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the
military for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communications systems. It is designed to
trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In other words, more
bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade-off
produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the receiver
knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not
tuned to the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks like background noise. There are
two main alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping
Spread Spectrum (FHSS).
4. What is DSSS? What is FHSS? And what are their differences?
Frequency-Hopping Spread-Spectrum (FHSS) uses a narrowband carrier that changes
frequency in a pattern that is known to both transmitter and receiver. Properly synchronized,
the net effect is to maintain a single logical channel. To an unintended receiver, FHSS
appears to be short-duration impulse noise. Direct-Sequence Spread-Spectrum (DSSS)
generates a redundant bit pattern for each bit to be transmitted. This bit pattern is called a
chip (or chipping code). The longer the chip, the greater the probability that the original data
can be recovered. Even if one or more bits in the chip are damaged during transmission,
statistical techniques embedded in the radio can recover the original data without the need for
retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and
is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers.

5. Would the information be intercepted while transmitting on air?
WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling. On the
software side, WLAN offers the encryption function (WEP) to enhance security and access
control.
6. What is WEP?
WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit
shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
7. What is infrastructure mode?
When a wireless network is set to infrastructure mode, the wireless network is configured to
communicate with a wired network through a wireless access point.
8. What is roaming?
Roaming is the ability of a portable computer user to communicate continuously while moving
freely throughout an area greater than that covered by a single access point. Before using the
roaming function, the workstation must make sure that it is the same channel number with the
access point of dedicated coverage area.
To achieve true seamless connectivity, the wireless LAN must incorporate a number of
different functions. Each node and access point, for example, must always acknowledge
receipt of each message. Each node must maintain contact with the wireless network even
when not actually transmitting data. Achieving these functions simultaneously requires a
dynamic RF networking technology that links access points and nodes. In such a system, the
user’s end node undertakes a search for the best possible access to the system. First, it
evaluates such factors as signal strength and quality, as well as the message load currently
being carried by each access point and the distance of each access point to the wired
backbone. Based on that information, the node next selects the right access point and
registers its address. Communications between end node and host computer can then be
transmitted up and down the backbone. As the user moves on, the end node’s RF transmitter
regularly checks the system to determine whether it is in touch with the original access point
or whether it should seek a new one. When a node no longer receives acknowledgment from
its original access point, it undertakes a new search. Upon finding a new access point, it then
re-registers, and the communication process continues.
