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.
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.
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 .

What is Wireless LAN
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems offer a great number of advantages over
traditional wired systems. WLAN is flexible and easy to setup and manage. They are also
more economical than wired LAN systems.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLAN transmit and receive data through the air.
WLAN combine data connectivity with user mobility. For example, users can roam from a
conference room to their office without being disconnected from the LAN.
Using WLAN, users can conveniently access-shared information, and network
administrators can configure and augment networks without installing or moving network
cables.
WLAN technology provides users with many convenient and cost saving features:
 Mobility: WLAN provide LAN users with access to real-time information anywhere in
their organization, providing service opportunities that are impossible with wired networks.
Ease of Installation: Installing is easy for novice and expert users alike, eliminating the
need to install network cables in walls and ceilings.
 Scalability: WLAN can be configured in a variety of topologies to adapt to specific
applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from
peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to full infrastructure networks of
thousands of users roaming over a broad area.

Wireless LAN Modes
Wireless LANs can be configured in one of two ways:
1. Ad-hoc Networking
Also known as a peer-to-peer network, an ad-hoc network is one that allows all workstations
and computers in the network to act as servers to all other users on the network. Users on the
network can share files, print to a shared printer, and access the Internet with a shared modem.
However, with ad-hoc networking, users can only communicate with other wireless LAN
computers that are in the wireless LAN workgroup, and are within range.
2. Infrasture Networking
Infrastructure networking differs from ad-hoc networking in that it includes an access point.
Unlike the ad-hoc structure where users on the LAN contend the shared bandwidth, on an
infrastructure network the access point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth
utilization.
Additionally, the access point enables users on a wireless LAN to access an existing wired
network, allowing wireless users to take advantage of the wired networks resources, such as
Internet, email, file transfer, and printer sharing.
Infrastructure networking has the following advantages over ad-hoc networking:
Extended range: each wireless LAN computer within the range of the access point can
communicate with other wireless LAN computers within range of the access point.
 Roaming: the access point enables a wireless LAN computer to move through a building
and
still be connected to the LAN.
Wired to
wireless LAN connectivity: the access point bridges the gap between wireless
LANs
and their wired counterparts.

Notes on Wireless LAN Configuration
When configuring a wireless LAN (WLAN), be sure to note the following points:
Optimize the performance of the WLAN by ensuring that the distance between
access points is not too far. In most buildings, WLAN Adapters operate within a
range of 100 ~ 300 feet, depending on the thickness and structure of the walls.
Radio waves can pass through walls and glass but not metal. If there is interference
in transmitting through a wall, it may be that the wall has reinforcing metal in its
structure. Install another access point to circumvent this problem.
Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing struts that interfere with
WLAN transmission.
