is a wireless communication system capable of supporting high data rate mobile
communication at vehicular speeds. The system is designed to allow standard
client hosts with a PCMCIA interface to have a mobile broadband Ethernet connection.
The system works transparently to the client host in a manner similar to an Ethernet
connection. provides Internet Protocol based data and location services. Its geo-
location accuracy and availability is better than ±10 meters within 1 second. It is capable
of supporting subscribers traveling up to 100 miles per hour.

Overview of MeshNetworks’ MeshTray
MeshTray™
MeshTray is a status application that reports vital and statistical information about the
card. Because MeshTray is a “tray” application, it stays in the desktop system
status tray when it is minimized as shown in Figure 18 and Figure 19. The MeshTray icon
changes to indication of the state of the wireless interface. In Figure 18 the MeshTray
icon is in an inactive or disconnected state.
Inactive MeshTray Icon

Regulatory Information
FCC Information
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.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 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 an 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 or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the WMC6300 and radio or television receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the supplier of the WMC6300 or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
1. CAUTION: This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled environment.
2. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
Although this device complies with the FCC RF Exposure limits in multiple configurations of the
antenna, we suggest that the antenna be positioned away from the body when transmitting in
order to minimize the level of RF Exposure.

Safety Information for the WMC6300
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has
adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. MeshNetworks’ products meet the
uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper
operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual and the
hardware and software guides on the CD will result in user exposure that is
substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
• Do not touch or move the antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
• Do not hold any component containing a radio such that the antenna is very close to or
touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
• Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive
environment unless it is a type especially qualified for such use.
• Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected;
otherwise, the radio may be damaged.
WARNING
Use the antenna supplied by MeshNetworks.
Use of other antennas is prohibited may violate FCC regulations.
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any unauthorized modifications to this
equipment. Unauthorized modifications could void user’s authority to operate
device.
