The following list describes some of the many applications made possible through the power and flexibility of wireless LANs: 1. Difficult-to-wire environments There are many situations where wires cannot or not easily be laid. Historic buildings, older buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either impossible or very expensive. 2. Temporary workgroups Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibitions, disaster-recovery, temporary office and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN established and removed. 3 3. The ability to access real-time information Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving customers and processing information. 4. Frequently changed environments Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently rearrange the workplace. 5. Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small network. 6. Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes with wireless LANs. 7. Wired LAN backup Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-critical applications running on wired networks. 8. Training/Educational Facilities Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease access to information, information exchanges, and learning. 1- 6 Network Configurations To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to create a wireless network, it might be helpful to depict a few of the possible wireless LAN PC card network configurations. The wireless LAN products can be configured as: 1. Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs. 2. Infrastructure for enterprise LANs. 3. IP Sharing for 56K/ISDN TA/Cable/DSL Modem – Connect Internet and your SOHO network. Ad-Hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode This is the simplest network configuration that several computers equipped with the PC Cards that form a wireless network whenever they are within range of one another (Figure 1-3). In ad-hoc mode, each client, is peer-to-peer, would only have access to the resources of the other client and requires no the access point. This is the easiest and least expensive way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network. 4 Figure 1-3 A wireless Ad-hoc network Infrastructure Mode The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this mode, all wireless communications between two computers have to be via the AP no matter the AP is wired to Ethernet network or stand-alone. If used in stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of independent wireless LANs by acting a repeater, which effectively doubling the distance between wireless stations as shown in Figure 1-4. Figure 1-4 Extended-range independent WLAN using AP as repeater If w…

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 May 16, 2003 RE: FCC ID: NI3-IS20V311 Attention: Ellis Wu I have a few comments on this Application. 1. FYI no action needed – The block diagram in not in compliance with 2.1033. Please note that block diagrams should show the transmit frequency and its path. 2. Please note that this is a PCMCIA card. As such it is by its nature classified as a Portable device. Please note that your rf exposure report classifies this as Mobile. This is not accurate and must be changed. Even though the manual states a 2.5cm separation distance, the device is still portable. Mobile device classification begins when a 20cm separation can be maintained at all times.. Please correct your rf exposure documentation to show the proper exposure designation for this device (i.e. Portable). Please note that since this is a portable device classification, MPE is not an appropriate rf exposure method. Also please note that the device is less than 24mW and as such would not need SAR even when operated within 2.5cm. 3. Please note that the manual uses outdated information on rf compliance. It states that a 2.5cm spacing must be maintained. Please note that since the device is only operating at about 20mW it is under the low threshold level for SAR compliance issues. As such the device can be used within 2.5cm of the body with no rf compliance issues. Please correct item 3 on page 41 of the manual to be in line with the latest rf compliance issues. The rf compliance statement about maintaining a 2.5cm separation needs to be removed and replaced with a simpler (or similar) statement such as “This device meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used as instructed.” 4. Dennis Ward mailto:[email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information may result in application termination. Correspondence should be considered part of the permanent submission and may be viewed from the Internet after a Grant of Equipment Authorization is issued.

FCC ID: NI3-IS20V311 ADT No.920507R02 Operational Description The transmitter of the EUT is powered by host equipment. The antenna used in this product is Printed antenna without connector. Under normal use condition, the user has to keep at least 2.5cm 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.

Report No: 920507R02 1 RF EXPOSURE REPORT REPORT NO.: RF920507R02 MODEL NO.: SL-2511CD2 MERCURY NL-2511CD2 MERCURY ACCORDING: FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure IEEE C95.1 APPLICANT: Senao International Co., Ltd. ADDRESS: 2F, No.531, Chung Cheng Rd., Hsin-Tien, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. 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 Report No: 920507R02 2 RF Exposure Measurement (Portable 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 Report No: 920507R02 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 distance r where the MPE limit is reached.

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 the product, under normal use condition, is at least 2.5cm away from the body of the user. Warning statement for keeping 2.5cm 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.
