In a short time you and those in your network will be able to share a local printer and files, access the Internet, and roam about the office wire-freely. Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLAN devices transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections. Thus, WLANs combine data connectivity with user mobility, and, through simplified configuration, enable movable LANs. This wireless networking solution has been designed for both large and small businesses, and it is scalable so that you can easily add more users and new network features as your business grows. This software installation guide will assist you in installing Wireless mini-PCI module application. 6 2 Wireless LAN Basics Wireless LAN network defined by IEEE 802.11b standard committee could be Configure as: Ad Hoc wireless LAN or Infrastructure wireless LAN. Ad Hoc network is a group of notebooks with wireless LAN adapter, called a BSS (Basic Service Set). These notebooks use their wireless LAN adapter to communicate with each other directly. The most obvious differentiation between Infrastructure wireless network and Ad Hoc wireless network is that the notebooks in Infrastructure wireless network can make use of the resource in the Internet through Access Point. To set up your notebook’s network as the type of “Ad Hoc” or “Infrastructure” wireless network depends completely on your requirement. Generally, if your network environment has an Access Point, it’s recommend that you set it as “Infrastructure” mode to connect to the Internet. 7 3 Drivers and Utility Installation This section describes the procedures for installing Wireless mini-PCI module. Before You Start Before installation, please check your system in advance and make sure that the Mini PCI is installed with your Notebook. Consult to your dealer for the existence, compatibility or installation of Mini PCI module with your Notebook. Note: To prevent potential problems during installation, please use the auto-run installation tool on the CD to finish the driver installation before you plug The WLAN Module into the computer. All drivers and supporting software for Wireless mini-PCI module must be installed and configured. Ask your system administrator for the following information, which you may need during driver installation: • Your Wireless LAN SSID. • Your computer’s unique client name and workgroup name • For your network account, your user name and password. • Your IP address, gateway address, and subnet mas…

FCC ID: PANWL1401 ADT No.920514R04 Operational Description The transmitter of the EUT (802.11b Mini PCI WLAN) is powered by host equipment via a PCMCIA interface. The antenna is Printed antenna without antenna connector. 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: PANWL1401 Report No.: 920514R04 FCC TEST REPORT REPORT NO.: RF920514R04 MODEL NO.: WL-1401 ACCORDING: FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure IEEE C95.1 APPLICANT: Askey Computer Corp. ADDRESS: 10F, No.119, ChienKang Rd., Chung-Ho, 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 FCC ID: PANWL1401 Report No.: 920514R04 RF Exposure Measurement (Mobile 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 Mobile 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: PANWL1401 Report No.: 920514R04 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: PANWL1401 Report No.: 920514R04 6. Test Results 6.1 Antenna Gain The maximum Gain measured in Fully Anechoic Chamber is 0.5dBi or 1.122 (numeric). 6.2 Output Power Into Antenna & RF Exposure value at distance 20cm : Channel Channel Frequency (MHz) Output Power to Antenna (mW) Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) Limit of Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) 1241214.1250.0031.0 6243714.7570.0031.0 11246214.2560.0031.0
