TLZ-AWNU231-DWireless 802.11 a/b/g/n Dongle

User Manual Wireless 802.11 a/b/g/n dongle Chapter 1: Product Overview AzureWave Technologies, Inc. introduces the advanced IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n 2x2 dual-band WLAN USB 2.0 dongle - AW-NU231-D. The dongle supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology. With MIMO, information is simultaneously sent and received over two antennas in the same frequency band, thus providing greater range and increased throughput while maintaining compatibility with legacy IEEE 802.11a/b/g devices. By using AW-NU231-D, the customers can easily enable the development of USB 2.0-based Draft-802.11n WLAN client and router subsystem solutions for all WLAN markets that can take advantage of the high throughput and extended range of MIMO. In Compliance with the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standard, the AW-NU231-D uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK and QAM baseband modulation technologies. A high level of integration and full implementation of the power management functions specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard minimize the system power requirements. By using AW-NU231-D, state-of-the-art security is provided by industry standard system support for WPA, WPA2, and hardware accelerated AES encryption/decryption coupled with TKIP and IEEE 802.1X support. Embedded hardware acceleration enhances system performance and significantly reduces host-CPU utilization in both client and access point configurations. The AW-NU231-D also supports Broadcom’s widely accepted and deployed SecureEasySetup™ (SES) application for ease-of-use wireless secured networks. The AW-NU231-D dongle adopts Broadcom’s latest Draft-802.11n-based chip, BCM4323, innovations designed to increase WLAN system performance and extend range using MIMO technology. The module integrates two dual-band antennas which are used for 2x2 MIMO and supports 2-stream spatial multiplexing up to 300Mbps. Chapter 2: Installation Note: The dongle is using with Mitsubishi televisions only and will be with the platform model names as following: o WD-60738 o WD-65738 o WD-73738 o WD-82738 o WD-65838 o WD-73838 o WD-82838 o LT-55154 This dongle must be away from human body at least 20 cm. Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. For operation within 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor environment. IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

FCC ID: TLZ-AWNU231-D Report No.: RF990519C11 Operational Description This device is a Wireless 802.11 a/b/g/n Dongle, which operates in both of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and can’t transmitting simultaneously, the maximum data rate could be up to 270Mbps which OFDM technique. If the signal to noise radio is too poor which could not support 270Mbps, the 11Mbps data rate with DSSS technique will be applied. The transmitter of the EUT is powered by host equipment. The antennas are PCB antennas without any antenna connector. For more detailed instruction, please take a look at the user’s manual. FCC 15.407(c) states: The device shall automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure. These provisions are not intended to preclude the transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes used by certain digital technologies to complete frame or burst intervals. Applicants shall include in their application for equipment authorization a description of how this requirement is met” Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is then pass down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets (ACKs, CTS, PSPoll, etc...) are initiated by the MAC. There are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets are being transmitted.
