This wireless Local Area Network solution is designed for both large and small businesses, and it is scalable so that you can add users and new network features as your networking needs grow. The Wireless Access Point Module is a dual band WLAN device that allows for access to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz WLAN technologies. The Wireless Access Point Module will operate with at a maximum data rate of 11Mbps with 802.11b (2.4GHz), 54Mbps with 802.11g (2.4GHz) wireless networks and a maximum data rate of 54Mbps with 802.11a (5GHz) wireless networks. The Wireless Access Point Module will automatically detect and seamlessly roam between 802.11b (2.4GHz), 802.11g (2.4GHz) and 802.11a (5GHz) wireless networks 1-2 Using a Wireless Local Area Network A wireless LAN provides the same functionality of a wired network, but it eliminates the need to install networking cables and other networking equipment. Not only is a wireless LAN easier to deploy, but it also allows for mobility through “roaming.” For example the Wireless Access Point Module can roam from a conference room to an office without being disconnected from the network. 1-3 Features and Requirements The Wireless Access Point Module includes the following features: Wireless Features • Support for the IEEE 802.11a standard • Support for the IEEE 802.11b standard • Operates within the 2.4-GHz band • Operates within the 5GHz band • Maximum data rate of up to 54 Mbps (802.11a/g) • Maximum data rate of up to 11 Mbps (802.11b) Interoperability • WiFi certified at 5GHz to ensure wireless interoperability with other WiFi (802.11a) certified devices. • WiFi certified at 2.4GHz to ensure wireless interoperability with other WiFi (802.11b) certified devices. Security • Cisco Client Extension compatibility (including LEAP) • Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption, operating with 64bit, 128bit or 152 bit encryption • AES-CCM Encryption support • Support for Windows 802.1X supplicants Chapter 2 Network Configuring and Planning A wireless LAN can be configured for two different modes of operation. While each method has its advantages, one may be better suited for your needs. Review the following configurations to determine which mode is best for you. • Ad-Hoc Network • Access Point (Infrastructure) Network 2-1 Ad-Hoc Network An Ad-Hoc network is the simplest to deploy and is ideal for small offices. Ad-Hoc wireless networks can be comprised of two or more wireless client configured to communicate with one another. All Ad-hoc clients communicate directly with each other without using an access point (AP). As a user on this type of network, you are able to quickly build up a wireless network in order to share files with other employees, print to a shared office printer, and a…

FCC ID: MCLJ20H027 Report No. 950116H01 Technical Description This device is a Wireless Access Point Module operates in both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands with DSSS and OFDM technique. The transmitter rate could be 1/2/5.5/6/9/11/12/18/24/36/48/54Mbps. The transmitter of the EUT is powered by DC 3.3V from host equipment. The antenna is PCB antenna with HRS connector. Under normal use condition, the user has to keep at least 20 cm separation distance between radiator and the body of the user. For more detailed instruction, please refer to the user’s manual. FCC 15.407(c) states : The device shall automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure. These provisions are not intended to preclude the transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes used by certain digital technologies to complete frame or burst intervals. Applicants shall include in their application for equipment authorization a description of hoe this requirement is met. Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is then pass down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets (ACKs, CTS, PSPoll, etc...) are initiated by the MAC. There are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets are being transmitted.

CO., LTD. HSINCHU SCIENCE PARK BRANCH OFFICE ADDRESS:5F-1,5 Hsin-An Road Hsinchu, Science-Based Industrial Park 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.: SA950116H012Issued: Jan. 24, 2006 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/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 Report No.: SA950116H013Issued: Jan. 24, 2006 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.: SA950116H014Issued: Jan. 24, 2006 6 Test Results 6.1 Antenna Gain For 2.4GHz The maximum Gain of the antenna is 2.02dBi or 1.592(numeric).
