Regulatory notes and statements Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of these emissions however are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices like for example mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use frequency safety standards and recommendations.
The radiated output power of this Wireless LAN device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, this device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. When nearby persons has to be kept to ensure RF exposure compliance, in order to comply with RF exposure limits established in the ANSI C95.1 standards, the distance between the antennas and the user should not be less than 20 cm.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. CE Mark Warning This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. Protection requirements for health and safety – Article 3.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: 1) The antenna must be installed such that 20cm is maintained between the antenna and user. 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. 3) The module is approved using the FCC’ unlicensed modular transmitter approval’ method. Therefore the module must only be used with the originally approved antennas.

INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of this IEEE 802.11g Pen Size Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter. This manual helps to get familiar with the Wireless mini PCI Adapter. This manual contains detailed instructions in operation of this product. Please keep this manual for future reference. With a Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11g) mini PCI Adapter, a desktop or laptop computer can communicate with another computer in a wireless way.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION This section will lead you to install the driver and utility of the Wireless mini PCI Adapter via Windows OS installation. Windows 98se/ME/2000/XP Utility and Driver Installation 1. Insert the Wireless LAN mini PCI Adapter Driver & Utility CD-ROM into computer’s CD-ROM Drive and it will automatically run a setup menu and install the driver and the utility, for Win98se, please reboot the system to install the driver to the system properly.
5. After finish the installation, you will see Wireless Configuration Utility Country Selector, select the country where you are using this Wireless device, users are responsible for ensuring that the channel set configuration is in compliance with the regulatory standards of these countries. . Warning: Be noted that selecting the incorrect region may result in a violation of applicable law; you will need to select the correct domain. 6.
Wireless Utility Setting With the Wireless mini PCI Adapter utility, users can configure all the functions provided by the Wireless Monitor Utility. Double-click the utility icon that appears in the taskbar. The Wireless Monitor Utility includes seven tabs: Status, Configuration, Advanced, Profile, Network, Statistics and About.
Configuration The Configuration function helps you to configure the Network and the Security. Network: the setting of the Network mode, the SSID and the Channels. ¾ Network Mode: If you want to connect with an Access Point, please set to “Infrastructure” mode. If you have more stations and just want to set them as local network, please set the mode to “Ad-Hoc” mode.
¾ Encryption Mode: There are two kinds of encryption mode, WEP encryption and WPA-PSK. Click the Enable Encryption to activate the security of the USB Adapter. WEP-Key: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) relies on a secret key that is shared between a mobile station and a base station (Access Point). WEP-Passphrase: the Passphrase in the dialog box helps you to create a group of WEP key in the Key Setting.
WPA-PSK: WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access pre-shared key) is a simpler version that does not support 802.1x and requires a separate RADIUS server for mutual authentication. Enter a Passphrase in the WPA-PSK dialog box. This passphrase must be the same on each computer that is connected to the wireless network.
Advanced The Advanced settings help you to control the Wireless Adapter to adjust with wireless devices in certain environment. ¾ Transmit Rate: You can choose one of the transmission rates as follows, 54Mbps, 48Mbps, 36Mbps, 24Mbps, 18Mbps, 12Mbps, 11Mbps, 9Mbps, 6Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 2Mbps, 1Mbps, and Fully Automatic.
¾ Preamble Type: The usage of the preamble is to limit the packet size of the data to transmit. It is recommended to choose the short preamble when the link quality is bad, it is to prevent the wasting time of resending a long packet that is lost. The Default is Auto which access short and long preamble.
Profile The Profile section allows you to set values for all parameters by selecting a previously defined profile. Type a name in the Profile Name field to create a profile, click “Save” and then click “Apply” when a profile is done. You can click “Delete” if the profile is no longer used, to activate other profile, choose a profile name in the Profile Name field and click Activate.
Network The screen shows all the Wireless devices around your Wireless Adapter. The information of the wireless devices includes the SSID, MAC Address, Channels, Signal, the Security type and the Network mode. You can click the “Rescan” button to find the new wireless devices, and doubleclick the device to choose the wireless station that you want to connect with.
Statistics The Statistics section shows the real-time transmit and receive packets of the Wireless Adapter.
About The About section shows the Device Name, Regulatory Domain, Driver Version, MAC Address and the Utility version.
