Hardware Installation
The WAPN008 can be installed into all Moxa wireless system board series.
Step for Installation
1.Install the WAPN008PCIcard on the system board. Apply pressure to both bus
connectors and gently press the board onto the stack. The boardshould slide into the matching
bus connectors. Do not attempt to force the board, as this canlead to bent/broken pins.
2. Screw on the WAPN008PCIcard.
3. Screw on the all the necessary chassis.
Software Installation
After physically installing the WAPN008, your operating system must be configured to recognize
thenew 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 ClassB digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits aredesigned to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
aresidential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radiofrequency 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 particularinstallation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio ortelevision reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off andon, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of thefollowing
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 whichthe receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution:
To assure continued compliance, (example - use only shieldedinterface cables when connecting to computer or
peripheral devices) anychanges or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
forcompliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to thefollowing two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interferencethat may cause undesired
operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This module is restricted to mobile configuration. To comply with FCC RF exposurecompliance requirements,
the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed toprovide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from
all persons and must not beco-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Thistransmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with anyother 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.
This device is operation in 5.15 – 5.25GHz frequency range, then restricted in indoor use only.
End Product Labeling

WAPN008 User’s Manual Getting Started
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 ”
