Networking Characteristics
Radio Characteristics
Radio Characteristics of the MPCI3A-20/R WIRELESS LAN CARD may vary:
•According to the country where the product was purchased.
•According to the type of product that was purchased.
Wireless communication is often subject to local radio regulations. Although the
MPCI3A-20/R WIRELESS LAN CARD has been designed for operation in the
license-free 2.4 GHz band, local radio regulations may impose a number of
limitations to the use of wireless communication equipment.
To comply with such regulations, MPCI3A-20/R WIRELESS LAN CARD is marketed
with dedicated channel-sets with a number of factory-programmed channels
identified by the following acronyms:
•ETS for countries that adhere to the regulations as defined by the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI),
•FCC for countries that adhere to the regulations as defined by the US Federal
Communications Commission (FCC),
•FR for France, and
•JP for Japan.
Data Rate High 11 Mb/s
Medium 5.5 Mb/s
Standard 2 Mb/s
Low 1 Mb/s
The cards use an automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism.
