September 2003 Back to Contents Page Wireless LAN Overview: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG User's Guide About Wireless LAN Technology l Choosing a WLAN l Configuring a WLAN l Identifying a WLAN l Surveying the Site of Your WLAN l Factors Affecting Range A wireless network connects computers without using network cables. Computers use radio communications to send data between each other. You can communicate directly with other wireless computers, or connect to an existing network through a wireless access point. When you set up your wireless adapter, you select the operating mode for the kind of wireless network you want. You can use your wireless adapter to connect to other similar wireless devices that comply with the 802.11 standard for wireless networking. Choosing a Wireless LAN Wireless LANs can operate with or without access points, depending on the number of users in the network. Infrastructure mode uses access points to allow wireless computers to send and receive information. Wireless computers transmit to the access point, the access point receives the information and rebroadcasts it to other computers. The access point can also connect to a wired network or to the Internet. Multiple access points can work together to provide coverage over a wide area. Peer-to-Peer mode, also called Ad Hoc mode, works without access points and allows wireless computers to send information directly to other wireless computers. Ad Hoc Mode is only supported in 802.11b and 802.11g networks. You can use Peer-to-Peer mode to network computers in a home or small office or to set up a temporary wireless network for a meeting. Configuring a Wireless LAN There are three basic components that must be configured for an 802.11 wireless LAN to operate properly: l Network Name: Each wireless network uses a unique Network Name to identify the network. This name is called the Service Set Identifier (SSID). When you set up your wireless adapter, you specify the SSID. If you want to connect to an existing network, you must use the name for that network. If you are setting up your own network you can make up your own name and use it on each computer. The name can be up to 32 characters long and contain letters and numbers. l Profiles: When you set up your computer to access a wireless network, the wireless client manager creates a profile for the wireless settings that you specify. If you want to connect to another network, you can scan for existing networks and make a temporary connection, or create a new profile for that network. After you create profiles, your computer will automatically connect when you change locations. l Security: The 802.11 wireless networks use encryption to help protect your data. Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) uses a 64-bit or 128-bit shared encryption key to scramble data. Before a computer transmits data, it scrambles the data using the secret encryption key. The receiving computer uses this same key to unscramble the data. If you are connecting to an existing network, use the encryption key provided by the administrator of the wireless network. If you are setting up your own network you can make up your own key and use it on each computer. m Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control to a WLAN. WPA mode enforces 802.1x authentication and key-exchange to strengthen data encryption. WPA utilizes its Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP provides important data encryption enhancements that include a per-packet key mixing function, a message integrity check (MIC) named "Michael", an extended initialization vector (IV) with sequencing rules, and a also re-keying mechanism. Using these improvement enhanceme…

December 10, 2003 RE: Intel Corporation FCC ID: PD9WM3B2200BG Answers to the ATCB comments on the above referenced Application. 1. Please fill in the technical contact information fields on the 731. Refer to “Form 731 (Rev. A, 11-25-03)” 2. Please note that you have put the grantee code in the equipment code field. Please note that the equipment code for this type device is DTS. Please correct the 731 to show the proper equipment code. Refer to “Form 731 (Rev. A, 11-25-03)” 3. Please note that the users guide appears to be the guide to the end user. Please provide the OEM installation guide for this mobile module. The OEM will have their own specific instructions as all laptop vendors will have different locations of where the WLAN card is placed. Since Intel does not make the OEM laptops, Intel cannot provide the OEM installation instruction for all the OEM vendors. 5. Please note that the test setup photos are not clear and they appear that the module is located inside the desktop. Please note that this makes the application an LMA for the specific desktop. For a full modular approval, the module MUST be tested in standalone configuration. Please revise your application for LMA, or alternately, please test the module in standalone configuration. The module was tested in a standalone configuration. It was installed outside the host computer chassis. Refer to “Photographs – Test Setup (Close up)”. 6. Please explain the copper tape in the setup photo. Is this needed for compliance? How will this be implemented? If it is not needed, please remove it and retest the device without the copper tape. The copper tape was installed because a PCI extender board was placed in the host computer PCI slot in order to bring the PCI slot outside the computer chassis. The copper tape is to simulate a PCI slot bracket. 7. It appears that the antenna(s) are mounted to a large metal frame. This may affect the radiation pattern and most likely affect radiated emissions. Please explain why this large metal frame was used. If this is not part of the normal antenna configuration, please remove the metal frame and retest in a normal antenna configuration. If this is part of the normal antenna configuration, please provide information on this in the OEM installer’s guide. The large metal frame simulates an LCD laptop screen and is needed to load the antennas for the purpose of the radiation pattern. 8. Please explain why the desktop PC is laying on its side during testing. This was the easiest way to mount the antennas above the WLAN module to better simulate a notebook computer. 9. There appears to be more than ample room on the label to place the 2-condition statement. Please explain why this statement in not on the label. Alternately, please provide a label with the 2-condition statement. The 2-condition statement will be provided in the manual. Refer to pages 87 & 88 Regulatory of the “User’s Guide” 10. Please provide a photo or drawing showing where the label will be placed. Please provide an explanation of how the label is permanently affixed to the device. The label covers the whole card on both front and back. Refer to “Photograph – Label Placement”. This label is not the correct exact label but will be placed in the same manner. For the correct label refer to “Label1” & Label2”. 11. Please note that you have used CISPR22/EN55022 limits for radiated emissions. Please note that while CISPR limits may be used for part 15 unintentional radiators they may not be used for intentional radiators. Please recalculate your radiated emissions using the intentional radiator limits of 15.209. Refer to “Test Report – EMC (Rev. B, 12-08-03) 13. I believe that most mini PCI cards use reverse SMA connectors, however, the schematics for this device show UFL connectors. Please verify/explain. The mini PCI WLAN device use UFL connectors not reverse SMA connectors.

MPE Calculations Systems operating under the provision of 47 CFR 1.1307(b)(1) shall be operated in a manor that ensures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the FCC guidelines. The EUT will only be used with a separation of 20 centimeters or greater between the antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons and can therefore be considered a mobile transmitter per 47 CFR 2.1091(b). The MPE calculation for this exposure is shown below. Using the Hitachi Antennas: The peak radiated output power (EIRP) is calculated as follows: EIRP = P + G EIRP = 17.51 dBm + 1.67 dBi EIRP = 19.18 dBm (82.79mW) Where P = Power input to the antenna (mW). G = Power gain of the antenna (dBi) Power density at the specific separation: S = PG/(4R 2 π) S = (56.36 x 1.469) / (4 x 20 2 x π) S = 0.016 mW/cm 2 Where S = Maximum power density (mW/cm 2 ) P = Power input to the antenna (mW). G = Numeric power gain of the antenna R = Distance to the center of the radiation of the antenna (20cm = limit for MPE) The maximum permissible exposure (MPE) for the general population is 1mW/cm 2 . The power density at 20cm does not exceed the 1mW/cm 2 limit. Therefore, the exposure condition is compliant with FCC rules. Estimated safe separation: R = PG/4π R = (56.36 x 1.469) / 4π R = 2.57 cm Where P = Power input to the antenna (mW). G = Numeric power gain of the antenna R = The safe estimated separation that the user must maintain from the antenna (cm) The numeric gain (G) of the antenna with a gain specified in dB is determined by: G = Log -1 (dB antenna gain/10) G = Log -1 (1.67 dBi/10) G = 1.469 Using the Ethertronics Antennas: The peak radiated output power (EIRP) is calculated as follows: EIRP = P + G EIRP = 17.51 dBm + 2.00 dBi EIRP = 19.51 dBm (89.33 mW) Where P = Power input to the antenna (mW). G = Power gain of the antenna (dBi) Power density at the specific separation: S = PG/(4R 2 π) S = (56.36 x 1.585) / (4 x 20 2 x π) S = 0.018 mW/cm 2 Where S = Maximum power density (mW/cm 2 ) P = Power input to the antenna (mW). G = Numeric power gain of the antenna R = Distance to the center of the radiation of the antenna (20cm = limit for MPE) The maximum permissible exposure (MPE) for the general population is 1mW/cm 2 . The power density at 20cm does not exceed the 1mW/cm 2 limit. Therefore, the exposure condition is compliant with FCC rules. Estimated safe separation: R = PG/4π R = (56.36 x 1.585) / 4π R = 2.67 cm Where P = Power input to the antenna (mW). G = Numeric power gain of the antenna R = The safe estimated separation that the user must maintain from the antenna (cm) The numeric gain (G) of the antenna with a gain specified in dB is determined by: G = Log -1 (dB antenna gain/10) G = Log -1 (2.00 dBi/10) G = 1.585
