Toshiba Wireless LAN mini-PCI Card – Getting started 1-1 About Toshiba Wireless Solution 1 Wireless LAN Network Scenarios The Wireless LAN Card Kit enables you to: n Connect your computer to a Peer-to-Peer workgroup of wireless computing devices. n Connect your computer to a Local Area Network (LAN) Infrastructure that includes Wireless LAN Access Points, or other IEEE802.11 compliant LAN systems. n Expand the capabilities of your Wireless LAN Access Points, to support wireless devices that have been equipped with Wireless LAN Card. NOTE: The internal Wireless LAN Card can’t be used with the Toshiba Wireless LAN PC Card. Toshiba Wireless LAN mini-PCI Card – Getting started 1-2 Peer-to-Peer Workgroup The Peer-to-Peer workgroup configuration enables you to quickly set up a small wireless workgroup, where the workgroup participants can exchange files using features like “Files and Printer Sharing” as supported by Microsoft Networking. Figure 1-1Peer-to-Peer Wireless Workgroup You can use this option to setup a temporary or ad-hoc network in environments where no access points are available (for example in Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) environments). As long as the stations are within range of one another, this is the easiest and least expensive way to set up a wireless network. Toshiba Wireless LAN mini-PCI Card – Getting started 1-3 Enterprise Networking Figure 1-2Stand Alone Wireless LAN With the Wireless LAN Access Points you can connect to a corporate Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure to have wireless access to all network facilities. LAN Infrastructures may either be. n Stand-alone wireless LANs as pictures in Figure 1-2 n Wireless network infrastructures connected to an existing Ethernet network as pictured in Figure 1-3. Toshiba Wireless LAN mini-PCI Card – Getting started 1-4 Figure 1-3LAN Infrastructure Toshiba Wireless LAN mini-PCI Card – Getting started 1-5 It’s Easy The Wireless LAN Card functions like any standard wired Ethernet card, but Wireless LAN does not need any wires! Where an Ethernet card requires a cable connection to a hub and/or patch panel, the cable physically ties you down to the location of the wired connection. Wireless LAN allows you connect your computer to a Local Area Network (LAN) system from anywhere within the wireless coverage area. Expanding or re-designing your network is easy: Add or relocate Wireless LAN Access Points, power-up your (new) Wireless LAN computers, and you’re done! Unlike Ethernet, Wireless LAN will enable you to roam throughout the network while remaining connected to the LAN. NOTE: The Wireless LAN Card is a radio product. Refer to the flyer “Information to the User” for regulatory information that may apply in your country.

Application CJ6PA3070WL Request for Limited Modular Approval Part 15 Unlicensed Modular Transmitter Approval Justification per DA 00-1407, released: June 26, 2000 RequirementReference 1. The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. See Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 9 2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs All inputs to the modules are buffered through logic or microprocessor inputs. See Exhibit 5. 3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. All power lines derived from the host device are regulated before energizing other circuits internal to the EUT. See Exhibit 5. 4. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). The EUT will be inbuild into host equipment, which has antenna built-in, which is inaccessible to the user. See Exibit 13 WL Usage 5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. Please refer to Exhibit 6 6. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. The EUT carries an FCC ID label whose artwork and label position are clearly indicated; see Exhibit 1 exhibits. In addition the label for the host equipment is shown. 7. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. See Exhibit 12. 8. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g), require that Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental evaluation for RF Exposure to demonstrate compliance. In addition, spread spectrum transmitters operating under Section 15.247 are required to address RF Exposure compliance in accordance with Section 15.247(b)(4).

Info to Processing Gain report: For Chi Is bol rate etc. see the table below: Bit rate Chip/symbol rate Bit/symbol rate ChiD/bit rate Extra Information: 1. For 1 and 2 Mbp/s OQPSK modulation using a fixed spreading sequence the symbol rate is 1 MSymbol/s. The symbol length is 11 chips. Each chip duration is 1/11 uS. A symbol duration is 1 uS. The chip/symbol rate is 11. The theoretical process gain is 1 O*LOG{11 ) = 10 dB. 2. For 5.5 and 11 Mbp/s CCK where the spreading sequence is a function of the transmitted data, the symbol rate is 8/11 MSymbol/s. The symbol length is 8 chips. Each chip duration is 1/11 uS. A symbol duration is 8/11 uS. The chip/symbol rate is 8. The theoretical process gain is 1 O*LOG(8) = 9 dB. Due to the fact that only 256 code sequences out of the 65536 code sequences that are available are used, there is coding gain. Therefore the processing gain of a CCK system consists of spreading gain and coding gain together. As such a CCK system does meet the FCC requirement for a process gain of minimal 1 a dB. Explanation: The Lucent High Speed modulation is compliant to draft standard extension IEEE 802.11 b for 5.5 and 11 MBitls signaling rates. For this modulation technique the Symbol length is 8 Chips (1 Symbol duration equals 8111 uS). However, the 8 Chips are not a fixed spreading sequence as is the case for the 1 and 2 MBitls modulation technique. These 8 Chips, applied in a OPSK modulation, use 256 unique patterns out of the 65536 different possible patterns, wherebyeach pattern represents a specific data sequence (4 or 8 bits). Thus this type of modulation introduces Coding Gain, since only 256 patterns are used out of 65536 possible combinations. Therefore it can be concluded that the system employs Coding Gain in addition to Spreading Gain. The Processing Gain of the system is taken as the combined result of Coding and Spreading Gain, so a Processing Gain of 10 dB can be met with 8 Chips per Symbol. Lucent has shown bya CW jammer margin test that a SIR of 10 dB can be met, while meeting the system specified BER. It is our understanding that this is compliant with the FCC ruling. Therefore the test report shows that the Lucent product, operating at l' 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbitls meets a Processing Gain of at least 10 dB, under the conditions as specified by the FCC.

Lucent WCND Confidential ©1999 1 This document describes the Receiver Processing Gain verification measurements performed at the WaveLAN-II PC- Card Type 2, according to Ref.[2]. The Lucent WaveLAN-II PC-Card Type 2 product confirms to the minimum required 10 dB processing gain, as set forth by the FCC for operation in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. 1- Document FCC 97-114, Appendix C, Guidance on Measurements for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Systems. 2- Hardware Functional Specification for WaveLAN-II Embedded, High Speed, Doc.

This test proves that the receiver of the tested product employs a true spread spectrum device receiver structure, taking full advantage of the direct sequence spread spectrum modulation technique. This test verifies the receiver processing gain to be 10 dB or more for a data rate of 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbit/s, by monitoring the Bit Error Rate (BER) of the product under test for each data rate, while operating under strict defined received signal conditions. Several methods of showing compliance to the rules are possible, from a stepped CW jammer to a continuous sweeping CW interferer. For this test the discrete stepped CW jammer method was chosen, as described in Ref.[1]. 1.Summary: 2.Conclusion: 3.References: 4.Measurement description: FCC Processing Gain Measurements Results, FCCID WLPC24H/WLPCE24H, Report No. 011734, Rev. B. Lucent WCND Confidential ©1999 2 Therefore a receiver input signal is applied to the product under test, in the presence of a Continuous Wave (CW) interference source, also referred to as CW jammer. The test takes place at the product Functional Specification (Ref.[2]) specified conditions for BER rate measurements, specifying a BER equal or better than 10^-8 at a receiver input level of -55 dBm. For practical reasons these test are performed at -55 dBm or -53 dBm. This small deviation from the Functional Specification should not cause any deviation from the specified Bit Error Rate, since the received levels are well above the thermal noise. The test criteria for meeting the minimal processing gain is such that it takes the theoretical calculated SNR for the applied modulation technique and specified BER as a reference. From this given SNR the processing gain is subtracted, yielding the CW Jammer to Signal ratio J/S. From Ref. [4], likewise as Ref.[3] consulted in Ref. [1], it is determined that for a BER of 10^-8 the SNR (S/N)o equals: 13 dB @ 1 Mbit/s, 15 dB @ 2 Mbit/s, 15 dB @ 5.5 Mbit/s, 18 dB @ 11 Mbit/s. Thus the J/S ratio for a processing gain of 10 dB that must be met is calculated as: -13 + 10 = -3 dB @ 1 Mbit/s (DBPSK), -15 + 10 = -5 dB @ 2 Mbit/s (DQPSK), -15 + 10 = -5 dB @ 5.5 Mbit/s (CCK), -18 + 10 = -8 dB @ 11 Mbit/s (CCK). Two types of measurement corrections are allowed for as described in Ref.[1]. The first taking into account 2 dB implementation losses, thus increasing the absolute J/S ratio by 2 dB. The second correction allows for deleting the 20% worst-case frequencies in the processing gain test that causes the test at that CW interference to fail. This implies that for the considered 14 MHz wide measurement interval the worst case 57 CW jammer frequencies can be ignored, being those that result in received data FCC Processing Gain Measurements Results, FCCID WLPC24H/WLPCE24H, Report No. 011734, Rev. B. Lucent WCND Confidential ©1999 3 errors/missing frames (20% of 14 MHz *(1 MHz/50 KHz) + 1 = (20% * 281) + 1 = 57). FCC Processing Gain Measurements Results, FCCID WLPC24H/WLPCE24H, Report No. 011734, Rev. B. Lucent WCND Confidential ©1999 4 4.2 Test sequence: The measurements are performed at a 50 KHz CW jammer raster. For each CW jammer frequency 10^8 bits are transmitted by the reference transmitter, and received by the product under test. For practical reasons 50.000 messages are transmitted. After blanking out frame overhead 1927 bits per frame are monitored. This results in 50.000 * 1927 = 9650000 transmitted bits for a BER test, which is a mere 1.4% less than the targeted 10^8 bits. Though it would be more elegant to show BER compliance for at least say ten times 10^8 transmitted/received bits, the time involved with this grows significantly. Since the CW interferer is stepped in a 50 KHz raster, covering the rec…
