 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.



Statement Needed to be Shown on End Product
Since this module is installed inside the end product, the end product should be affixed a label
on visible area showing that this product contain a RF module, and also its FCC ID.


IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm
between the radiator & your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

1. Introduction
     1.1 Overview


         This user manual describes the feature of the PCMCIA wireless LAN card (model
         name: WMA1), as well as the physical card installation.
         WMA1 complies with full IEEE 802.11b standards with bit rate up to 11Mbps and the
         interface complies with PCMCIA specifications.
         The WMA1 module can be installed on a variety of gateway (or router) master boards
         as various wireless gateways (or routers).



     1.2 Features


        * Fully IEEE 802.11b and Wi-Fi compatible
        * Working range up to 300 meters in an open environment
        * Seamless roaming under 802.11b WLAN infrastructure
        * Automatically Support basic rate at 11M/5.5M/2M/1M fall back
          functionality
        * WEP 64/128 bits encryption provided
        * Supply User-friendly installation: hardware auto-detection and software
          easy-setup without manual configuration.
        * The powerful utility operates and communicates other WLAN devices
        * Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology provides robust,
          interference-resistant and wireless communication security.
        * Compatible with any computer under the OS of Microsoft Windows
          series: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
