TM System Requirements for Configuration: An 802.11g or 802.11b access point (for Infrastructure mode), or another 802.11g or 802.11b wireless adapter (for Ad-Hoc, Peer-to-Peer networking mode.)
At least 32 MB of memory and a 300 MHz processor
Windows XP/2000/Me/98SE
A desktop computer with an available 32-bit PCI slot
4 The D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G520 Wireless PCI Adapter is an 802.11b/802.11g high-performance, wireless adapter that supports high-speed wireless networking. Unlike most network cards, the DWL-G520 provides data transfers at up to 54 Mbps (up to 108Mbps in Super G mode) when used with other D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G products. The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b devices. TM Introduction The DWL-G520 has the newest, strongest and most advanced security features available today. When used with other 802.11 WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and 802.1x compatible products in a network with a RADIUS server, the security features include: WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access which authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automatically at regular intervals. WPA uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over a network.) This ensures much greater security than the standard WEP security. (By contrast, the previous WEP encryption implementations required the keys to be changed manually.) 802.1x: Authentication which is a first line of defense against intrusion. In the authentication process, the Authentication Server* verifies the identity of the client attempting to connect to the network. Unfamiliar clients would be denied access. For home users that will not incorporate a RADIUS server in their network, the security for the DWL-G520, used in conjunction with other WPA-compatible 802.11 products, will still be much stronger than ever before. Utilizing the Pre- Shared Key mode of WPA, the DWL-G520 will obtain a new security key every time it connects to the 802.11 network. You only need to input your encryption information once in the configuration menu. No longer will you have to manually input a new WEP key frequently to ensure security. With the DWL-G520, you will automatically receive a new key every time you connect, vastly increasing the safety of your communication. *Not all servers can provide Authentication TM 5 32-bit PCI Performance -The DWL-G520 is a powerful 32-bit PCI Adapter that in- stalls quickly and easily into desktop PCs, and when used with other D-Link Air Plus Xtreme G products will automatically connect to the network out of the box. Features LED LED stands for Light-Emitting Diode. The DWL-G520 has one LED: TM A steady light indicates a connection to an access point. A blinking light indicates activity on the network. Link Compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g Devices - Fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g standards, the DWL-G520 can connect with existing 802.11b- or 802.11g- compliant routers, access points and cards. That means you can still communicate with colleagues and friends while you have the ability to link to even more wireless networks.

Better Security with 802.1x and WPA -With the DWL-G520 in your desktop PC you can securely connect to a wireless network using 802.1x for wireless authentica- tion, as well as WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) providing you a much higher level of security for your data and communication than has previously been available.


User-friendly configuration and diagnostic utilities. Faster Wireless Networking with Super G - Speeds up to 15 times faster (up to 108Mbps) with Super G mode. With the DWL-G520 in your PC, you will have the flexibility of wireless networking speeds that save you time and money. 6 Wireless Basics Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards. D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow you access to the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking brings. A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize W…

FCC ID: KA2DWLG520A4 Report No.921204R02A Operational Description This device is a 2.4GHz Wireless PCI Card which operates in the 2.4GHz frequency spectrum with throughput of up to 54Mbps which OFDM technique (turbo mode:108Mbps) will be applied. If the signal to noise radio is too poor which could not support 54Mbps, the 11Mbps data rate with CCK technique will be applied. The transmitter of the EUT is powered by host equipment via a PCI interface. The antenna is Dipole antenna with Reversed SMA connector. The other instruction, please have a look at the user’s manual.

FCC ID: KA2DWLG520A4 Report No: 921204R02 1 RF EXPOSURE REPORT REPORT NO.: RF921204R02A MODEL NO.: DWL-G520 (for other models please refer to FCC test report) ACCORDING: FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure IEEE C95.1 APPLICANT: Global Sun Technology, Inc. ADDRESS: No.13, Tung Yuan Rd., Jung Li Industrial Park, Jung Li City, Taoyuan Hsien, Taiwan, R.O.C. ISSUED BY: Advance Data Technology Corporation LAB LOCATION: 47 14th Lin, Chiapau Tsun, Linko, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. FCC ID: KA2DWLG520A4 Report No: 921204R02 2 RF Exposure Measurement (Mobile Device) 1. Introduction 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) calibrated for antenna measurement in ADT, and also 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. Although the Friis transmission formula is a far field assumption, the calculated result of that is an over-prediction for near field power density. We will take that as the worst case to specify the safety range. 2. 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) 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 300-1500......F/3006 1500-100,000......56 (B)Limits For General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 300-1500......F/15006 1500-100,000......1.030 F = Frequency in MHz FCC ID: KA2DWLG520A4 Report No: 921204R02 3 3. 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 If we know the maximum Gain of the antenna and the total power input to the antenna, through the calculation, we will know the MPE value at distance r.

(11-133). 4 EUT Operating condition The software provided by Manufacturer enabled the EUT to transmit and receive data at lowest, middle and highest channel individually. 5. Classification The antenna of this product, under normal use condition, is at least 20cm away from the body of the user. Warning statement to the user for keeping at least 20cm or more separation distance with the antenna should be included in users manual. So, this device is classified as Mobile Device.
