[. . . ] Nevertheless, this device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. When nearby persons has to be kept to ensure RF exposure compliance, in order to comply with RF exposure limits established in the ANSI C95. 1 standards, the distance between the antennas and the user should not be less than 20 cm. FCC 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. [. . . ] ACT (Activity) The ACT LED indicator blinking green when Encore 802. 11g Wireless LAN Adapter is transmitting or receiving data. LED Indicator for PCI Link The Link LED indicator lighted green when Encore 802. 11g Wireless LAN Adapter is connected to wireless network successfully. Check the installation The LEDs of the Wireless LAN Adapter are clearly visible and the status of the network link can be seen instantly: 1. Once the device is plugged to the station's CardBus/PCI slot, the LED of the Wireless LAN Adapter will light up indicating a normal status. When the device plugged to the station's CardBus/PCI slot and the driver was installed, the ACT will start alternate blinking, it means that the device is starting to scan the wireless devices near the Wireless LAN Adapter. While the Wireless LAN Adapter linked up and transmitting data to the Access Point or to other Wireless LAN station, the Link LED will lighted green. 5 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION This section will lead you to install the driver and utility of the Wireless LAN Adapter. Utility and Driver Installation using Adapter Setup Wizard (for ENPWI-G2 running Windows 2000/XP Vista only) 1. Insert Encore 802. 11g Wireless LAN Adapter Driver & Utility CD-ROM into computer's CD-ROM Drive and it will automatically run a setup menu. Choose Wizard on the bottom left-hand corner and follow the on-screen instruction to set up the adapter. 7 Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista Utility and Driver Installation 1. Insert Encore 802. 11g Wireless LAN Adapter Driver & Utility CD-ROM into computer's CD-ROM Drive and it will automatically run a setup menu and install the driver and the utility. In some specific setting on Windows system, you may need to proceed the software manually, go to your Windows Start menu and choose Run, type "D:\Setup. exe" in the dialog box (D:\ will depend on where your CD-ROM drive is located) and click OK. If you need to install the driver manually, refer each Windows OS to the following CD-Rom directory path: D:\Driver\<Windows OS>. Note: (D:\ will depends on where the CD-ROM drive is located and <Windows OS> will depend on the Windows OS you are using). 3. The installation program will help you to setup the Wireless LAN utility. Ad-Hoc ­ to establish point-to-point wireless communication directly with other wireless client devices such as wireless network PCI Adapter. AdHoc Band: When using Wireless Mode for Ad-Hoc mode, select the AdHoc Band from drop down list for 11b only, 11g only or Auto for both of 11b and 11g. User can select the channel range of 1 to 11 for North America (FCC) domain and 1 to 13 for European (ETSI) domain and 1 to 14 for Japanese domain. 10 Power Mode: There are 3 modes to choose. · Continuous Access Mode (default) ­ the wireless LAN adapter is constantly operating with full power and it consumes the most power. · Maximum Power Save ­ the wireless LAN adapter consumes the least power and only operates when there is wireless network activity. · Power Save ­ the wireless LAN adapter consumes the moderate level of power. Preamble is a sequence of bits transmitted at 1Mbps that allows the PHY circuitry to reach steady-state demodulation and synchronization of bit clock and frame start. Two different preambles and headers are defined: the mandatory supported Long Preamble and header, which interoperate with the 1 Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s DSSS specification (as described in IEEE Std 802. 11), and an optional Short Preamble and header (as described in IEEE Std 802. 11b). At the receiver, the Preamble and header are processed to aid in demodulation and delivery of the PSDU. The Short Preamble and header may be used to minimize overhead and, thus, maximize the network data throughput. However, the Short Preamble is supported only from the IEEE 802. 11b (High- Rate) standard and not from the original IEEE 802. 11. [. . . ] if router's wireless setting is set to channel 6, then the software must be set to channel 6 as well, so on. ) Step 2. Make sure in wireless utility software, wireless mode is set to Infrastructure (access point), not Ad-hoc (computer-to-computer) 18 Step 3. Set all TCP/IP settings in your computer to automatic, unless your ISP specifies otherwise. Check wireless security key setting in the router; make sure the wireless utility's key matches it. Q: I have trouble configuring or using Wireless Configuration Utility that comes with the wireless card/adapter. [. . . ]
