Introduction to The Wireless LAN Card This wireless LAN (Local Area Network) card is composed of the IEEE 802.11b MAC, Baseband, and radio components, PCMCIA interface, and two built-in antennas. This product adopts the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technology and the DBPSK, DQPSK, and CCK modulation mode to provide a very stable wireless communication quality and an excellent signal receiver capability. Our product features the compact size, low power consumption, and power management functions, and provides a high-speed wireless data communication. Therefore, our product is ideally suitable for being integrated into the personal mobile and handheld platform. 1-2. Features

Supported Operation System Windows 98/98SE/Me Windows 2000/XP 2 Chapter 2. Installing the Wireless LAN Card 2-1. Installing The Driver & Utility (Applicable to any supported OS) Step 1: Insert our setup CD into your CDROM drive. Step 2: Execute the setup.exe on our CD. Step 3: Choose “ Application and PCMCIA drivers”. Step 4: Press “Next”. Step 5: Press “Finish”, and then your installation is ok. 3 Chapter 3. Using The Utility The Configuration & Monitor Utility is a powerful application that helps you to configure the Fast-VNET card and monitor the statistics of the communication. Unlike the standard method of configuring the card via the operating system utilities (e.g. Control Panel), this application permits the dynamic modification of the configuration parameters while the card is operating. It also offers some more configuration options. ATMEL offers the Configuration & Monitor Utility for Windows 95/98/Me/2000, and Windows NT 4.0. Note: Please keep in mind that the Configuration & Monitor Utility can be used to change the above configuration parameters when the cards are active. When the cards are not in use, please use the Control Panel method. 3-1 How to Install the Configuration & Monitor Utility The Configuration & Monitor Utility is installed simultaneously with the Drivers when you run the program “setup.exe” which you will find in your installation CD and follow the instructions as they appear on the screen (see chapter 2). Upon completion of the installation, only for the first time, you can locate the application under Start -> Programs ->ATMEL 802.11 Wireless LAN -> Configuration & Monitor Utility. 3-2 Using the Configuration & Monitor Utility The Configuration & Monitor Utility appears as an icon on the system tray of Windows every time the card is running (see Figure 3-1). You can open it by double-clicking on this icon. While the station is in infrastructure mode and not associated to an Access Point, the color of the icon is red. As soon as the station associates itself to an Access Point (see page 3-4 “Site Survey”), the icon color automatically turns to blue. In Ad-Hoc mode the color is always blue, except when the card is resetting and Initializing where it turns to red during the reset and initialization procedure. Figure 3-1. The icon of the Configuration & Monitor Utility When the application is opened the following options (tabs) are available:
Monitor
Statistics
Site Survey
Encryption
Advanced
Version Note: Please Note that at the very top of the Monitor and Configuration Utility of the application (Figure 3-2), you can either select ATMEL PCMCIA FastVNET (3.3V) or ATMEL USB FastVNET or ATMEL PCI card when available. Monitor: A typical screen of the application in Infrastructure mode is shown in Figure 3-2. The configuration parameters are shown at the top of the screen (Operation Mode, Channel, 4 SSID, TxRate, Power Management Mode and MAC Address of the PCMCIA card). In the middle of the screen there is information about the status of the communication (the BSSID of the Access Point to which the card is associated, Signal Strength, and Link Quality). In order to change the configuration parameters press the “Change” button, make your changes and then press “Submit” in order to save your changes. Figure 3-2.

FCC ID: JCK-GN-WLMM101 ADT No.910927R02 Operational Description The transmitter of the EUT (WLAN PCMCIA Card) is powered by host equipment via a PCMCIA interface. The antenna is Printed Patch Antenna, and there is no antenna connector. Under normal use condition, the user has to keep at least 20cm separation distance between radiator and the body of the user. The other instruction, please have a look at the users manual. DSSS Information This device is Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum, the data is mixed by pseudorandom code which is an orthogonal code. The mixed data is digital modulated by BPSK and QPSK technique depends on the data rates. The CCK coding is applied for increasing the data rate, and also the processing gain will be increased. The bit rates are 1,2,5.5,11Mbps, the symbol rates are 1,1,1.375,1.375Mbps, the chip rates are always 11Mbps. So, the Chip/symbol is 11,11,8 and 8 respectively. Although is higher bit rate, the processing gain is lower than 10, but the CCK coding used in higher bit rate will provide 2.2dB coding gain.

FCC ID: JCK-GN-WLMM101 ADT No.: 910927R02 FCC TEST REPORT REPORT NO.: RF910927R02 MODEL NO.: GN-WLMM101 ACCORDING: FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure IEEE C95.1 APPLICANT:Giga-Byte Technology Co., Ltd. ADDRESS:4/F, No. 3, Alley 6 Lane 45, Pao Shin Road, Hsin-Tien City, Taipei, Taiwan ISSUED BY:Advance Data Technology Corporation LAB LOCATION:47 14th Lin, Chiapau Tsun, Linko, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. 0528 ILAC MRA Lab Code: 200102-0 FCC ID: JCK-GN-WLMM101 ADT No.: 910927R02 RF Exposure Measurement (Portable Device) 1. Introduction 2.4GHz frequency band is regarded specially as a dangerous band for its heating harmfulness to the human body. That’s why microwave oven is operating in this frequency band. The manufacturer whose product is working in this frequency band is obligatory to prove the harmfulness of his product. In this document, we try to prove the safety of radiation harmfulness to the human body for our product. The limit for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) specified in FCC 1.1310 is followed. The Gain of the antenna used in this product is measured in a Fully Anechoic Chamber (FAC), and the maximum total power input to the antenna is measured. Through the Friis transmission formula and the maximum gain of the antenna, we can calculate the distance, away from the product, where the limit of MPE is reached. 2. Classification The antenna of the product, under normal use condition, is at least 20cm away from the body of the user. Warning statement for keeping 20cm separation distance and the prohibition of operating next to a person has been printed on the user’s manual. So, this product is classified as the Portable Device. 3. RF Exposure Limit According to FCC 1.1310: The criteria listed in the following table shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation as specified in 1.1307(b). FCC ID: JCK-GN-WLMM101 ADT No.: 910927R02 LIMITS FOR MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) Frequency Range (MHz) Electric Field Strength (V/m) Magnetic Field Strength (A/m) Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) Average Time (minutes) (A)Limits For Occupational / Control Exposures 30-30061.40.1631.06 300-1500......F/3006 1500-100,000......56 (B)Limits For General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 30-30027.50.0730.230 300-1500......F/150030 1500-100,000......1.030 F = Frequency in MHz 4. Friis Formula Friis transmission formula : Pd = (Pout*G) / (4*pi*r 2 ) where Pd = power density in mW/cm 2 Pout = output power to antenna in mW G = gain of antenna in linear scale Pi = 3.1416 R = distance between observation point and center of the radiator in cm Pd is the limit of MPE, 1 mW/cm 2 . If we know the maximum Gain of the antenna and the total power input to the antenna, through the calculation, we will know the distance r where the MPE limit is reached. Ref. : David K. Cheng, Field and Wave Electromagnetics, Second Edition, Page 640, Eq. (11-133). 5. EUT Operating condition The software provided by Manufacturer enabled the EUT to transmit and receive data at lowest, middle and highest channel individually. FCC ID: JCK-GN-WLMM101 ADT No.: 910927R02 6. Test Results 6.1 Antenna Gain The maximum Gain measured in Fully Anechoic Chamber is -1dBi or 0.79 (numeric). 6.2 Output Power Into Antenna & RF Exposure Distance : CHANNEL CHANNEL FREQUENCY (MHz) OUTPUT POWER TO ANTENNA (mW) MINIMUM ALLOWABLE DISTANCE ( r ) FROM SKIN (Centi-Meter) 1241219.950.56 6243722.751.20 11246222.911.20 The minimum allowable distance is very close to the enclosure of the antenna. So, the user has no need to worry about the harmfulness of radiation. But it is recommended to always keep, at least, 20cm separation distance with the antenna.
