TM 4 Introduction The DWA-520 has the newest, strongest, and most advanced security features available today. When used with other 802.11 WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and 802.1x compatible products in a network with a RADIUS server, the security features include: WPA/WPA2: Wi-Fi Protected Access which authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automatically at regular intervals. WPA/WPA2 uses TKIP 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 older WEP encryption req- uired 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 DWA-520, used in conjunction with other WPA/WPA2-compatible 802.11 prod- ucts still be much stronger than ever before. Utilizing the Pre Shared Key mode of WPA/WAP2 the DWA-520 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 configurationmenu. No longer will you have to manually input a new WEP key freque- ntly to ensure security. With the DWA-520, you will automatically receive a new key every time you connect, vastly increasing the safety of your communication. * Not all servers can provide Authentication. The D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWA-520 Wireless PCI Adapter is an 802.11g high- performance, wireless adapter that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places. Unlike most network cards, the DWA-520 provides data transfers at up to 54 Mbps. The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b products. TM 5 Features & Benefits ! Fully compliant with the 802.11b standard and interoperable with all existing 802.11b-compliant and 802.11g compliant devices ! Operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range ! Maximum reliability, throughput and connectivity with automatic data rate switching ! High Performance 32-bit PCI - The high capacity PCI interface utilized by the DWA-520 ensures optimal performance in transmitting a wireless signal within the desktop computer. By utilizing a standard PCI 2.2 interface, the DWA-520 ensures a wide range of compatibility with motherboards used by PC manufac- turers ! Quick and Easy Installation- The DWA-520 installs quickly and easily into a standard PCI 2.2 slot in a desktop computer. By following the simple steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide, you can connect to an available wire- less network in a matter of seconds Stronger Security than ever before with WPA/WPA2 - Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automatically at regular intervals, for example: ! ! TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), in conjunction with a RADIUS server, changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets, ensuring greater security Pre-Shared Key mode means that the home user, without a RADIUS server, will obtain a new security key every time he or she connects to the network, vastly improving the safety of communications on the net- work ! Extra Protection - 802.1x Authentication in conjunction with the RADIUS server verifies the identity of wireless clients wishing to gain access to the WLAN ! Provides a measure of security for the information transmitted over a wireless network with high data encryption at 64-, 128-, and 152-bit WEP ! Supports Infrastructure networks via an access point and Peer-to-Peer communication in Ad-Hoc mode ! ! User-friendly configuration and diagnostic utilities Five times faster - achieve data transfer speeds up to 54 Mbps; up to 5x faster than conventional 802.11b networks, when used with other 802.11g devices ! ! Provides a simple and inexpensive way to connect your desktop com- puter to a wireless network at home, at the office, or in public places 6 Wireless Basics 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 netw…

Report No.: SA960202H01 1 RF EXPOSURE REPORT REPORT NO.: SA960202H01 MODEL NO.: DWA-520 FCC ID: KA2WA520A1 ACCORDING: FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure IEEE C95.1 APPLICANT: D-Link Corporation ADDRESS: No.289, Shinhu 3rd Rd., Neihu District, Taipei City 114, Taiwan, R.O.C. ISSUED BY: Advance Data Technology Corporation LAB LOCATION: No. 81-1, Lu Liao Keng, 9 Ling, Wu Lung Tsuen, Chiung Lin Hsiang, Hsin Chu Hsien, Taiwan, R.O.C. Report No.: SA960202H01 2 RF Exposure Measurement 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/300 6 1500-100,000 ... ... 5 6 (B)Limits For General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 300-1500 ... ... F/1500 6 1500-100,000 ... ... 1.0 30 F = Frequency in MHz Report No.: SA960202H01 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 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 MPE value at distance 20cm. Ref. : David K. Cheng, Field and Wave Electromagnetics, Second Edition, Page 640, Eq. (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 Report No.: SA960202H01 4 6. Test Results 6.1 Antenna Gain The antenna used in this product is Dipole Antenna with SMA Plug Reverse connector.
