Hardware Installation
The WAPN008 can be installed into all Moxa wireless system board series.
Step for Installation
1. Install the WAPN008 PCI card on the system board. Apply pressure to both bus
connectors and gently press the board onto the stack. The board should slide into the
matching bus connectors. Do not attempt to force the board, as this can lead to bent/broken
pins.
2. Screw on the WAPN008 PCI card.
3. Screw on the all the necessary chassis.
Software Installation
After physically installing the WAPN008, your operating system must be configured to recognize
the new system board.
Step for Installation
1. Apply power to the system board.
2. Connect system board and PC with Ethernet cable.
3. Open a browser and type: 192.168.127.253 to open the system login webpage.
4. Login the webpage with default password: root in order to verify that all of the hardware is
install properly.

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:
To assure continued compliance, (example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or
peripheral devices) 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This module is restricted to mobile configuration. To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements,
the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 33 cm from
all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This
transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that 20cm
may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with
the following: "Contains FCC ID: SLE-WAPN008 ”

Information for the OEMs and Integrators
The following statement must be included with all versions of this document supplied to an
OEM or integrator, but should not be distributed to the end user.
1) This device is intended for OEM integrators only.
2) Please see the full Grant of Equipment document for other restrictions.
This radio transmitter FCCID: SLE-WAPN008 has been approved by FCC to operate with the antenna types listed
below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.
Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are
strictly prohibited for use with this device.
