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:
ny
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.

FCC Caution:
Any changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user authority to operate the
equipment.
The user’s manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional
radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm
between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
tia
transmitter.
IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g operation of this product in the U.S.A. is firmware-limited to
fid
en
channels 1 through 11.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following
conditions:
ny
on
1)
The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and
users, and
2)
The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna,
3)
For all products market in US, OEM has to limit the operation channels in CH1 to CH11
for 2.4G band by supplied firmware programming tool. OEM shall not supply any tool or info
to the end-user regarding to Regulatory Domain change.
As long as 3 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However,
the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional
compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device
emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example
certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC
pa
authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final
product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the
om
end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in devices where the antenna may be
installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users (for example
access points, routers, wireless ASDL modems, and similar equipment). The final end
product must be labeled in a visible area with the following:
"Contains TX FCC ID:

Manual Information To the End User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how
to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates
this module.
The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this

Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node”

the packet size. The RTS/CTS mechanism will be activated if the data size
exceeds the values that have been set.
Power Save Mode:
• CAM (Constantly Awake Mode): When this mode is selected, the
power supply will be normally provided even when there is no
throughput. (Default power save mode is CAM.)
• PSM (Power Saving Mode): When this mode is selected, this device
will stay in power saving mode even when there is high volume of
throughput.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should users
encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value
are recommended.

Wireless LAN Module often transmits large files in wireless network,
users can enter new Fragment Threshold value to split the packet. The

Authentication Type: There are several types of authentication modes

WPA2-PSK.
om
• Open: If the access point or wireless router is using "Open”
authentication, then the Wireless LAN Module will need to be set to
the same authentication type.
• Shared: Shared key is when both the sender and the recipient share a
secret key.
• LEAP: Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is an EAP
authentication type used primarily in Cisco Aironet WLANs. It
encrypts data transmissions using dynamically generated WEP keys,
and supports mutual authentication (only with CCX mode enabled.)
• WPA/ WPA-PSK/ WPA2/ WPA2-PSK: WPA or WPA-PSK
authentications offer two encryption methods, TKIP and AES. For
WPA-PSK, select the type of algorithm TKIP or AES and then enter a
WPA Shared Key of 8-64 characters in the WPA Pre-shared Key field.
Encryption Type: For Open and Shared authentication mode, the
selection of encryption type are None and WEP. For WPA, WPA2,
- 17 -
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication mode, the encryption type
supports both TKIP and AES.
tia
WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. The key
must match with the AP’s key. There are four formats to enter the keys.
• ASCII (64 bits): 5 ASCII characters (case sensitivity).
• ASCII (128 bits): 13 ASCII characters (case sensitivity).
• Hexadecimal (64 bits): 10 Hex characters (0~9, a~f).
• Hexadecimal (128 bits): 26 Hex characters (0~9, a~f).
WPA Pre-shared Key: This is the shared secret key between AP and
STA. For WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication mode, this field
must be filled with character longer than 8 and less than 64 lengths.

EAP Method:
• PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport
securely authentication data by using tunnelling between PEAP
clients and an authentication server. PEAP can authenticate wireless
LAN clients using only server-side certificates, thus simplifying the
implementation and administration of a secure wireless LAN.
• TLS / Smart Card: Transport Layer Security. Provides for
certificate-based and mutual authentication of the client and the
network. It relies on client-side and server-side certificates to perform
authentication and can be used to dynamically generate user-based
and session-based WEP keys to secure subsequent communications
- 18 -
TTLS: Tunnelled Transport Layer Security. This security method
provides for certificate-based, mutual authentication of the client and
network through an encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS
requires only server-side certificates.
•
EAP-FAST: Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunnelling. It was
developed by Cisco. Instead of using a certificate, mutual
authentication is achieved by means of a PAC (Protected Access
Credential) which can be managed dynamically by the authentication
server. The PAC can be provisioned (distributed one time) to the
client either manually or automatically. Manual provisioning is
delivery to the client via disk or a secured network distribution
method. Automatic provisioning is an in-band, over the air,
distribution. For tunnel authentication, only support "Generic Token
Card" authentication now.
•
MD5-Challenge: Message Digest Challenge. Challenge is an EAP
authentication type that provides base-level EAP support. It provides
for only one-way authentication - there is no mutual authentication of
wireless client and the network. (Only Open and Shared
authentication mode can use this function.)
