FCC Caution 1. The 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. 2. FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement: The equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body. 3. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 4. Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user authority to operate the equipment. FCC Statement This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following 1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between antenna and users, and 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing end-product for any additional compli- ance requirements required with module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). Important Note In the event that these conditions can not be example certain laptop configurations or co- location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. ii PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com

Introduction >>> 1.1 MSI MS-3871 - Wireless 11b/g/n + Bluetooth BT2.1 Combo Slim Module MSI latest combo module MS-3871, the Wireless 11b/g/n+ Bluetooth Combo Slim Module, which can be used to integrate with such systems as notebook, mini-barebone, portable PC. With MSI MS-3871 embedded inside, a system could provide users with the ability and flexibility to connect up to Internet wirelessly via 802.11b/g/n with speed up to 150Mbps, and to link with peripherals wirelessly through BluetoothTM v2.1 and advanced EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) technology. BluetoothTM v2.1 technology increases the data rate of BluetoothTM v1.1/1.2 from 1.0Mbps to 2.1Mbps. MSI MS-3871 is taking advantage of leading technologies from Ralink and CSR. It addresses the co-existence issues in PAN (Personal Area Network) and WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) markets by providing true simultaneous connectivity while deploying IEEE 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth v2.1 Along with this combo solution, a system installed with a single mod- ule is able to offer dual mode capability of WiFi and BluetoothTM. It will benefit system vendors in miniaturization of system di- mension and BOM cost reduction, as well as also make users happy with the all-in-one functionality. 1 PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com

>>> 1.2 How MS-3871 Works 1.2.1 In WLAN Environment Ad-hoc Mode : An Ad-hoc network is a local area network or other small network, especially one with wireless or temporary plug-in connections, in which some of the network devices are part of the network only for the duration of a communications session. Users in the network can share files, print to a shared printer, and access the Internet with a shared modem. In this kind of network, new devices can be quickly added; however, users can only communicate with other wireless LAN comput- ers that are in this wireless LAN workgroup, and are within range.

Infrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastructure network and Ad-hoc network is that the former one includes an Access Point. In an Infrastructure network, the Access Point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Addi- tionally, 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. The scale and range of the Infrastructure networking are larger and wider than that of the Ad-hoc networking.

1.2.2 In Bluetooth Connection The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between two devices. In order to ex- change data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a connection. Before a connection is established, one device must request a connection with another. The second device accepts (or rejects) the connection. The originator of the request is known as the client. The device that accepts (or rejects) the request is known as the server. Many Bluetooth devices can act as both client and server. Every Bluetooth device that provides a service must be prepared to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth soft- ware is always running in the background on the server, ready to respond to connection requests.
