VCCI Class B Information

Wireless LAN information
Wireless Interoperability
The TOSHIBA Wireless Routing Center WRC-1000 products are designed to be
interoperable with any Wireless LAN product that is based on Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology, and is compliant to:
◆The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs (Revision B), as defined
and approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
◆The Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) certification as defined by the WECA
Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance.
Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromag-
netic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices however is far
much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for
example mobile phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio
frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes Wireless
LAN is safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect
the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels
and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive
research literature.
In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be restricted by
the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization.
These situations may for example include:
◆Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of aeroplanes, or
◆In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or
services is perceived or identified as harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a
specific organization or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.
Regulatory Information

Icons
Icons identify ports, dials, and other parts of your Wireless Routing Center. The
indicator panel also uses icons to identify the components it is providing informa-
tion on.
Keys
The keyboard keys are used in the text to describe many computer operations. A
distinctive typeface identifies the key top symbols as they appear on the keyboard.
For example, Enter identifies the Enter key.
Key operation
Some operations require you to simultaneously use two or more keys. We identify
such operations by the key top symbols separated by a plus sign (+). For example,
Ctrl + C means you must hold down Ctrl and at the same time press C. If three
keys are used, hold down the first two and at the same time press the third.

Introduction
Overview
The Wireless Routing Center features a wireless Access Point, a four-port LAN
switch and a WAN port, which extend your existing broadband Cable/ADSL
connection. It allows the broadband connection to be shared through either the
IEEE 802.11b Access Point feature or the 10/100Base-TX Ethernet® switch,
which also eliminates the need for an additional hub or switch.
The integrated DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to your LAN
devices, and with the built-in Network Address Translation (NAT) function, your
LAN is protected against outside intruders. The router can also be configured to
filter internal access to the Internet. It is designed to provide a reliable Internet
access solution for the corporate environment, the small office and the home user.
Package contents
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for the Equipment checklist. If any of the items is
missing, contact your dealer.
