Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of this Super G™ Wireless Access Point. The Access Point features five operating modes. The Access Point mode connects your wireless clients with the wired part of your network. The AP client mode acts as a wireless network adapter for your PC or game console. The AP Repeater mode extends the range of your access point/wireless router by repeating the signal to wireless clients that are beyond the broadcasting range of the access point/wireless router. This provides the wireless clients with greater flexibility and mobility. The WDS bridges the network clients from various physically separate LANs into one virtual LAN. Finally, the WDS with AP bridges separate LANs into a virtual LAN while allowing wireless clients to connect with the device. The Access Point is compatible with existing 802.11b and 802.11g network devices so it will work with most existing wireless devices. If you have other Super G™ compatible wireless network device, you can also enable Super G™ on the Access Point for faster transfer rate.* Instructions for installing and configuring this product can be found in this manual. Before you install and use this product, please read this manual carefully for proper operation of this product. Package Contents Before you begin the installation, please check the items of your package: • Super G™ Wireless Access Point • Power Adapter • RJ-45 Network Cable • Antenna • Quick Installation Guide • Manual CD If any item contained is damaged or missing, please contact your local dealer immediately. Also, keep the box and packaging materials in case you need to ship the unit in the future. 4 2. Getting Started Please refer to the following diagrams to determine which operating mode you should use for your network. 5 If you want to use the AP431W as an Access Point with minimal configuration, just connect it to your existing router or switch with a Cat. 5 network cable and then power it on. The Access Point is ready to use with its default settings: SSID: default Channel: 6 Encryptions: disabled If you want to configure the Access Point’s settings or set it to other operating modes, please follow the rest of this guide. Step 1 Connect one end of a network cable to the Network port of the Access Point and connect the other end to one of the LAN ports of the router (See the diagram below). Step 2 Power on the Access Point by connecting one end of the supplied power adapter to the power jack of the Access Point and connecting the other end to an electrical outlet. Step 3 Verify that all three lights on the Access Point are lit. If not, verify that all the connections are secure and try again. 6 7 3. Gathering Information Step 1 On the wired computer, go to Start, Run, type command (for Windows 95/98/ME) or cmd (for Windows 2000/XP) and click OK. Step 2 Type ipconfig and press Enter. Your network settings will be displayed. Step 3 Write down the values for the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway on a piece of paper. Step 4 If you want to set the AP431W to a mode other than an Access Point, write down the following values for your existing wireless router or AP: 1. SSID (Network Name) 2. Channel Number 3. Wireless Security Settings The AP431W needs to use the same wireless settings in order for it to work properly. You may gather these information from the web configuration utility of your wireless router. Step 5 Refer to the IP Address you’ve written down from Step 3. If the first three numbers of your IP Address are 192.168.1, then you do not need to configure your computer’s IP Address. Please continue to Section 5, Using Web Configuration Utility. If the f…

Report No.: SA930503L04J Reference No.: 960206H06 1 RF EXPOSURE REPORT REPORT NO.: SA930503L04J MODEL NO.: AP431W FCC ID: RRK-AP431W ACCORDING: FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure IEEE C95.1 APPLICANT: Alpha Networks Inc. ADDRESS: No.8 Li-shing 7th Rd., Science-based Industrial Partk, Hsinchu, 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.: SA930503L04J Reference No.: 960206H06 2 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/300 6 1500-100,000 ... ... 5 6 (B)Limits For General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 300-1500 ... ... F/1500 6 1500-100,000 ... ... 1.0 30 F = Frequency in MHz Report No.: SA930503L04J Reference No.: 960206H06 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 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.: SA930503L04J Reference No.: 960206H06 4 6.
