The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring the Adapter to your network’s settings, step by step. LED Lnk (Green) The LED flashes when there is wireless network activity. Chapter2 Wireless Security Checklist  RangePlus Wreless PCI Adapter Chapter : Wreless Securty Checklst Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so homes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates by sending information over radio waves, it can be more vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network. Like signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals from your wireless network can also be intercepted. Since you cannot physically prevent someone from connecting to your wireless network, you need to take some additional steps to keep your network secure. . Change the default wreless network name or SSID Wireless devices have a default wireless network name or Service Set Identifier (SSID) set by the factory. This is the name of your wireless network, and can be up to 32 characters in length. Linksys wireless products use lnksys as the default wireless network name. You should change the wireless network name to something unique to distinguish your wireless network from other wireless networks that may exist around you, but do not use personal information (such as y…

The Wireless Mode screen shows a choice of two wireless modes. Wireless Mode Infrastructure Mode Select this mode if you want to connect to a wireless router or access point. Ad-Hoc Mode Select this mode if you want to connect to another wireless device directly without using a wireless router or access point. Wreless Network Name Enter a wireless network name (SSID) that must be used for all devices in your wireless network. It is case-sensitive and should be a unique name to help prevent others from entering your network. Click Next to continue, or click Back to return to the previous screen. – – 3. – – – Chapter3 Advanced Configuration  RangePlus Wreless PCI Adapter If you chose Infrastructure Mode, go to step 5 now. If you chose Ad-Hoc Mode, the Ad-Hoc Mode Settings screen appears. NOTE: The Adapter only supports Ad-Hoc Mode for 2.4 GHz networks: Wireless-B, Wireless-G, and Wireless-N (using 2.4 GHz). Ad-Hoc Mode Settings Standard Channel : keep the default, Auto. Click Next to continue, or click Back to return to the previous screen. If your wireless network does not have wireless security, select D sabled and then click Next to continue. Proceed to step 6. Wireless Security If your wireless network has wireless security, select the method of security used: WEP, WPA Personal, WPA2 Personal, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Enterprise, or RADIUS. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access. WPA2 stands 4. – 5. for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. WPA is a stronger security method than WEP. WPA2 is a stronger security method than WPA. RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. Click Next to continue, or click Back to return to the previous screen. Proceed to the section for your security method. WEP Make sure the settings you configure match the settings of your wireless network. WEP WEP Select 4-bt or -bt encryption.

If the signal to noise radio is too poor which could not support 150Mbps, the 11Mbps data rate with DSSS technique will be applied. The transmitter of the EUT is powered by host equipment. The antenna is dipole antenna with R-SMA connector. The other instruction, please have a look at the users manual.

FCC ID: Q87-WMP110 Report No: SA970121L10 1 RF EXPOSURE REPORT REPORT NO.: SA970121L10 MODEL NO.: WMP110 ACCORDING: FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure IEEE C95.1 APPLICANT : Cisco-Linksys LLC. ADDRESS : 121 Theory Drive Irvine, CA 92617 (USA) ISSUED BY: Advance Data Technology Corporation LAB ADDRESS: 47 14 th Lin, Chiapau Tsun, Linko, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. TEST LOCATION: No. 19, Hwa Ya 2 nd Rd., Kueishan, Taoyuan, Taiwan, R.O.C. FCC ID: Q87-WMP110 Report No: SA970121L10 2 RF EXPOSURE MEASUREMENT (MOBILE 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/300 6 1500-100,000 ... ... 5 6 (B)LIMITS FOR GENERAL POPULATION / UNCONTROLLED EXPOSURE 300-1500 ... ... F/1500 30 1500-100,000 ... ... 1.0 30 F = Frequency in MHz FCC ID: Q87-WMP110 Report No: SA970121L10 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 MPE value at distance r. 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. FCC ID: Q87-WMP110 Report No: SA970121L10 4 6.
